Chapter 22

It was a hot, muggy day. That they could tell pretty much as soon as they woke up the next morning.

"Ahh, thank you for modern technology." Taylor said, standing in front of the air conditioner with Deanna.

"You know Tay, it would be really good, if the cold air could reach this part of the room too." Isaac commented, avoiding Deanna's gaze.

Taylor just grinned.

"Good morning people." Larry said cheerfully. "Wow, it's a stinker today."

"No kidding." Zac replied.

Larry chuckled.

"So, how'd ya like to head down to the pool today?"

"Yeah!" well, that was the general response.

Larry laughed again.

"Just try not to drown each other ok?"

"Ohh!" Zac complained jokingly.

"Whoo hoo! A water slide!" Zac exulted. "Jassie?"

"Yep?"

"Wanna go on da water slide?"

"You bet!"

They ran off and up the stairs to the top.

"Umm, Jas?"

"Yep?"

"Umm, we're gonna have to share a matt."

"Big whoop."

"You'd better go in front."

"Ok." A gleeful expression crossed her face. "No complaints here."

Zac grinned and whacked her over the head.

"Except for the one relating to that." She added.

Taylor, Deanna, Isaac and Libby were close behind them. Well, actually, as soon as Libby saw that they would have to share a matt, she tried to go back down the stairs again. Unfortunately for her, they were 'one way' stairs.

While Isaac and Libby waited for their turn to go down, Isaac saw Taylor's hands go around Deanna's waist as she got settled between his legs. Sure, he knew it didn't mean anything, but he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealously.

"Isaac?" Libby said, interrupting his thoughts. "If even one hair of yours touches me unnecessarily, I will have your teeth for a necklace."
