The Road to My Heart

Chapter Sixteen

"I'll call you later." Mystery guy spoke to Syd as he threw his shirt over his head, brushing past me, he smirked. "You look fun." And then he winked and left.

I stood there absolutely appalled. Where does Sydney find these guys?

"Hey, I haven't seen you all day." Sydney smiled as if she just wasn't walked in on.

"Yeah, I've been..busy." I laughed. Alex snorted and brushed past me, his warm arm seemed to linger near mine before he was gone and out the door.

"Well he's in a decent mood." Sydney mutter, rolling her eyes, "And to think he doesn't like me."

"What?" I chuckled going to sit with her on the unused bed.

"He was clearly angry when he walked in on us, I mean what else could it be." She shrugged. "He likes me."

Alex liking Sydney was something I could see but it also hurt. Besides Alex already said he didn't like her and I believe him.

"Okay." I laughed, "If that's what you want."

"It is what I want." She laughed, "I'm going to make him so jealous that he'd rip me away from the guy I'm with and kiss me to death."

"Death? That's a little extreme." I tried to be supportive.

"It's a figure of speech."

I stood up from the bed, "Well I'm beat." I laughed. Walking into the bathroom a thought hit me, what if the reason he was so angry was because he thought it was me?

No. No, that's not it.

"Hey, it's Lucy." I sighed.

"Oh, hey babe." His voice was distant as it always was when I talk to him lately. I didn't talk to him at all yesterday, nor did I talk to Alex but I only missed talking to one of them and it wasn't the guy on the phone. My boyfriend.

I could hear and see the waves crashing on the sandy beach from the balcony I was currently standing on, the morning sun glittering over the blue water. It was beautiful.

"Whatcha doing?" I questioned as I postponed the inevitably. I was going to tell him. I had too.

"Just - Uh- hanging out with...the guys." He sounded slightly out of breath. "Can I call you back?"

"No. Wait we need-."

"Thanks Lucy, you're the best." He breathed and then he was gone.

"What the fuck." I hissed, guess we'd have to wait till later.

Sighing I put my phone back into my pocket, I had to meet Tommy for our first surf lesson. Everyone was still asleep as I grabbed my key and a towel. I could already tell that this was going to be a long day.

"There you are. I thought you were going to bail on me." Tommy greeted me once I got the lobby.

Rolling my eyes I walked right past him and he chuckled quickly catching up to me.

As I set my stuff down I finally noticed him carrying a board and gave him a shocked look. "Where did that come from?"

"Oh, I borrowed it for a while." He laughed and then gestured closer to the water, "Let's begin, shall we?"

"Sure." I smiled took off my over clothes so I was just in my swim suit. Tommy stared at me I shoved his chest playfully. "You coming or not?" I laughed.
