“Because you’re supposed to be my (air quotes) girlfriend that’s why.” Eric walked past Tina and kissed her on the nose. “How will it look if you and I are in different rooms?” Eric walked over the bed and removed his shirts from his weekend bag and placed them on the bed.

“What happens if one of us gets lucky this weekend?” The blonde sat on the bed.

“Hey! Watch where you’re sitting.” The entertainment lawyer moved his clothes away from the blonde.

“God…you’re so gay.” Tina rolled her eyes and chuckled at her friend. “I’m tired of pretending to be your girlfriend.” The blonde lain on her back. “We should ‘breakup’ this weekend. I mean, a really big blowout. What do you think?” She turned to her side and rested her head on her hand.

Eric stood by the bed and glanced down at his friend. “I don’t know, Tina.”

“Come on Eric…what if I meet someone this weekend. What am I supposed to say tell that person, ‘uh, sorry, but I have a ‘boyfriend’.” Tina combed her fingers through her hair and let out a frustrated sigh.

“Let me think about okay.”

“Aauugh!” Tina stood up. She walked over to a set of windows which had a partial view of the ocean. Thoughts of the tall brunette filled her head. I wonder what she’s doing now. God! Why didn’t I get her name?

“Hey, Tina, do you want to go out for drinks?”

“I think I’m staying in Eric. I need to catch up on some sleep.”

“Are you sure? Do you want me to stay with you?” Eric walked over to his friend.

“Who in the fuck hell wakes up this early in the morning?” complained Alice as she adjusted her dark sunglasses perched her nose. She sat back in her seat and tried to get comfortable. She closed her eyes and tried to nap, but the sound of the tennis ball being hit back and forth and the crowds’ cheer prevented her from reaching the nirvana that she craved at that moment. Last night’s activities had not released its hold on her.
