Margot heard soft footsteps, but didn�t really think of it too much. The sun was too warm, the crash of the waves too calming, the-
A deep voice cleared its throat.
She rolled over halfway and propped herself up on one elbow. She looked up and saw four pairs of eyes studying her interestedly, one a bit too interestedly. She quickly sat up and wrapped the large towel around her.
�No need to be shy darlin�, we�re just enjoying the view��
Margot arched an eyebrow at the tall red-haired man. �Like what you see stranger?� His eyes widened in surprise and as her last sentence registered in his brain, his face twisted into a huge grin. She laughed at his crazed expression while another man with spiked blonde hair slapped the first on his head.
�Please excuse Joey, we�d been debating whether or not to let him out of his cage and obviously we made the wrong decision.�
�Apology accepted.� She giggled while standing up, �And you are�?�
�Lance Bass.�
�Lance, hi, I�m Margot Martin.�
�Margot, that�s a beautiful name to match an equally beautiful lady.�
�Thanks�Joey was it?�
�At your service.� He answered while grasping her hand and kissing it lightly. Margot chuckled nervously. She was all for flirting harmlessly, but actual physical contact�that was another story. Lance sensed her discomfort and pushed Joey away from the girl. She sighed and thanked him with her eyes while another man approached her.
�Hi! I�m Chris Kirkpatrick.� She laughed slightly while he shook her hand enthusiastically. She eventually looked up to her right and saw a tall man with dirty blond curly hair and an intimidating scowl on his face. She smiled at him but was merely met with a disgusted snort.
�J, we know you�re having some lady troubles as of late, but at least make an attempt not to seem like a huger ass than you really are.� Chris reprimanded the young man.
�Justin.� He replied shortly. He made no move to shake her hand so Margot grabbed his and shook it roughly. Justin snatched his hand back and growled angrily. Margot saw the other three guys snicker and felt herself break into a small smirk. Chris patted her on the back and faced Lance.
�I like her�� The others agreed and were about to voice their similar opinions when they heard a familiar tone call the girl standing with them. Margot turned toward the house and saw a frazzled JC running toward her. Once he�d reached the group, he noticed she was only wearing a swimsuit and a towel. Her wet hair fell across her almost bare shoulders and a few light freckles had appeared on her face.
She�s so beautiful�but she�s just a friend! Urgh!!!
He immediately shook the thought out of his head and looked around at the other guys. They all frowned faintly, obviously confused about JC�s relationship with this mystery girl.
�Uh, guys, I take it you�ve met Margot.� JC stumbled over his words clumsily. They all nodded. She did too.
�Well, I met her on the plane over and to make a long story short, she�s going to stay here�with us.�
Eight eyes widened, four eyebrows rose, two ears perked up, one mouth morphed into a grimace, and a pair of lips spread to reveal a bright grin.
This should be interesting�
