Tina had to admit that she loved Bette’s cockiness when it roared its head, but it was different. Hairy thought that every girl in the place wanted to sleep with him and thought he was just so funny. They tried to avoid him, but he always seemed to find them.

After breakfast, they went to the pool. Bette preferred the shade, Tina liked a bit of sun every now and then. They had found a spot next to a tree that was apart from the other long chairs and offered enough shade. When Tina wanted to sunbathe, she moved her long chair a bit further where the sun did reach her. 

Around 1 pm, they went out to look for food. Directly behind the pool, there was a coast road that had all sorts of taverns, bistro’s, bars and little shops. They loved strolling there at evening and also found their lunch there.

After that, they went back to the pool. The hotel offered books and even though both had brought a load of them, they read the hotel books that were mostly English. They sometimes went for a swim together, enjoying the cool water. Tina had to made sure that she used enough protection because she got burnt very easily, but Bette always took care of that. They also talked a lot, about the past year, about the future, about Bette’s tremenous results, about how lucky they had been to find such good friends. Alexandra had broken up with Nathan after she had discovered he was in some kind of drugs dealing thing with Eve, Erics girlfriend. Sam and Dave were as happy as ever. Alice, Dana, Shane, Helena and Tim had visited them for some days and they had had a very good time catching up. Shane had finally found a woman crazy enough to stay with her, a latina called Carmen, but she hadn’t been able to come along because of her family duties. Alice and Dana had got together after ages of flirting. Helena was seeing someone at the time, but last they had heard the relationship was official. Tim was still free as a bird, not feeling ready to settle completely.

They mostly left the pool around 5pm and went to their room to have amazing, hot, passionate and furious sex. They took a shower together – which was barely possible in the small bath tub annex shower – enjoying how close they had to stand. They went to the restaurant for dinner, avoiding Hairy but failing that.
