OCEAN EYES

Hard feelings

I love the song Love in the Blue moon and Adeline knows that. It is because in an insane way it soothes me. I have been putting a show for my new crush since I stepped on the dance floor. With the exaggeration in my moves and the way my eyes keep catching his, we are out of control. Well, I am.

"Who is the new guy?" Adeline asks as we dance.

"Callum," I reply.

"He has been watching you the entire night."

"I know." I have been watching him too and God forbid the horrible thoughts that have been playing in my head the entire night. He has been licking his lips from time to time while watching me with what I would call hawkish eyes and I have to admit it has been a huge turn on.

"Are you shagging it then?" Adeline smirks at me knowingly nodding in Callum's direction.

"He is my cabin mate now so it is likely." I don't want to admit it that it might actually happen tonight. I am wet just at the thought of his strong large fingers on my body.

"You are a goner indeed. Look at that body and face. I would be stupid too if I didn't make a move." We both chuckle at her comment. Franco appears from behind Adeline and I give them space returning back to my work place. Show is over I guess.

"Had fun?" River asks with a grin.

"Yeah. It was fun." I smile. It was more than a little fun. I won't admit it to him either.

This time when I glance to where I left Callum, I am surprised. He is talking with Gina and I mean they are deep into conversation and laughing.

I have never seen Gina this happy of course not since the time I started working here. I have to believe that Callum is a walking s*x on the legs if he has managed to get some life into Gina. River seems to notice my baffled expression too.

"I can't believe it either. Guess marine boy is really a charmer." River murmurs. Like hell I don't know.

"Yeah. Guess so." I always turn monotonous when I am angry or jealous and I have to say I am jealous.

Jealous with how the two are having a conversation and with how close the little b***h is with him. Gina is trying to hurt me and I know it. She has always done many things to get to to me but none had worked in her favours. I swear one inch close to Callum and I am going to strangle the b***h. Possessive much, huh?

I should get a grip on my self because it is not like he is my boyfriend or anything and I am acting like a jealousy wife. I thought we had a connection a while back but seems I was wrong. Maybe I read too much in his expression and he is into girls with gothic looks, tattoos and short hair which Gina is and I am not. Urghh.

I don't want to stare at them anymore because it is killing me inside for a reason I can't pinpoint. I do the logical thing of serving the customers and making conversation with River to distract my self.

I have the worst idea of distraction because all I have been doing is watch them from the corner of my eyes and it has been a horrible decision. Gina is trying to seduce Callum and if he is oblivious to her cunningness, then he is enjoying it or stupid. Men are the same.

Gina has risen her already short skirt higher and Callum is paying her as much attention as possible. Was he just flirting with me too to get into my pants? Probably.

He called me beautiful. All men do, you i***t.

I am taking this situation harder than I should. I letting Gina get to me because the b***h is smirking my way. We are going go be cabin mates, will I have to listen to him f**k all the girls he brings? God forbid because I think we should put some ground rules if we are going to live together.

By the time the shift ends, I am exhausted. Retrieving my bag from the staff room at the back, I am ready to go. Callum is also no where to be found. Could he be getting it on with Gina? I don't want the picture of that in my head because it hurts. That was so quick then.

I walk out of The Oceans where the chilly breeze welcomes me. I love the breeze usually after the hot nights inside the bar but tonight I don't feel like I want to stay any minute out. I just want to rush to my bed and forget whatever has happened tonight.

"Were you leaving without me?" I don't need to turn to know whose voice it is.

"You looked like you were fine with Gina's company." I retort increasing my pace a little.

Callum catches up to me in no minute.

"Jealous doesn't suit you." That catches my attention. I didn't know he was also an arrogant prick. I am not jealous and I am having a hard time believing it too. Instead I cast him a glare and continue my way down the dimly lit path by a street light.

"Come on Carol, we can talk about this." he calls after me.

"You have absolutely nothing to be worried about. Your secret is safe with me." I mutter clutching my jacket closer to my body.

"What are you talking about?" he asks ridiculously.

"I know that you two were having s*x at the back."

Trust me I know that is a big accusation since I have no proof but I am sure. What other thing could two people of the opposite s*x be doing at the back of the club at two in the morning.

Immediately I am tugged to the nearby tree, the movement sucking the air out of me. It wasn't a harsh tug but he caught me off guard. I slowly raise my eyes to his and there, his blue eyes are darker this time. If someone found us in this position, we would be the talk of town for the rest of the week.

"Let me go. Someone might find us and get the wrong idea." I pull my hand from his which ends in vain because he is stronger than me. I would have thought of that before I wasted my energy in the first place.

"And what makes you think I care?" There is that evil glint in his eyes that informs me that he is actually serious and save my mind because I am thinking of it and the idea of being caught making out with a handsome stranger. It sounds a little thrilling.

"I care." I murmur when I clear my head.

"Good. You want to know what I am thinking?" he leans closer into me and baby Jesus, I feel a fire rise in my body. I just pray I don't get a nervous breakdown before tonight ends. even realise when he threw his duffel down so his other hand is on my waist.

I am trapped between a tree and a hard rock and I mean it, Callum is hovering over me in a way that ignites those butterflies in my stomach. His warm breath mixed with the breeze is turning me into a mess and all I can call is the Savior to help me.

His hand snakes around my waist pulling me closer and gosh, I could relive the moment everyday. Right now he is like a shield to all the bad out there and I have to admit I am enjoying the closeness.

I jump a little when he kisses my neck. Didn't see that coming. And when I feel his smirk on my cheek, I am out of my senses if I am enjoying this. Involuntarily I close my eyes enjoying the moment while it lasts.

"I think you look cute when you are jealousy."

All my plans of defending myself about my not being jealous fail in vain when kisses that spot between my neck and shoulder blade. The feeling the kiss ignites in my body is equivocal. I can feel the tingles all over my body. Instinctively, I pull him closer if even possible.

He pulls away to look at my face and all I can say is wow. In this view, he looks way more handsome and sexy. I am having trouble remembering what we were at before he decided to distract me.

"To ease your pretty little mind, I didn't have s*x with Gina."

Callum pulls away and picks up her duffel bag. I remain glued in place like a deer in headlights. I was accusing him of something false. How stupid.

I am just jealous and I believe it now.

"Are we going to stay here the whole night or our we going to our cabin?"

That question awakes my brain from its state of malfunction. Callum is smirking at me. He knows the effect he has on me already and I feel stupid, stupid for letting him get to me.

"This way." I lead the road quietly and he follows behind with no question. I can sense the smirk he is having but who said a girl couldn't get her revenge. We will just have to wait and see.
