I stared at myself in front of the mirror wearing this white bikini with this red cover up. Tracy barged into the bathroom all of a sudden and I quickly covered my body with the cover up. She stares at me on the mirror and starts smiling.

"I have a big stomach from that cheesecake and a few barbecues." I joked.

Tracy laughs, "Are you kidding me? Look at mine as well."

She starts walking towards where I was standing and stands behind me. Tracy starts untanglng my braided hair. "Let your hair down. It'll make those boys drool. Well, except for my baby Clyde."

I smiled.

She puts some parts of my wavy hair over my chest and pulls me facing towards her.

"Penny is wearing this ugly bikini so strut your ass. Don't cover it." She tries to open the cover up and I let her see.

"Gosh Savannah your boobs are big! I mean it shows over your blouses but when it's bare like this, it's... Wow."

I blushed. "Okay. Okay. Don't go lesbo over my titties."

She laughs. "Now let's go. And stop covering it."

I just nod.

Both of us walked out of the bathroom and headed downstairs. Tracy said I was the only one who didn't go out to the lake yet. I was still doubting whether I should go out or not cos my stomach feels so full. When we headed out to the backyard, Tracy was holding my hand while the others were merrying around and dancing to the slutty club music. I quickly looked for Nick cos I haven't seen him after dinner. I see Aries and Alec making a bonfire then from out of nowhere I see Nick, topless, bringing a few logs alongside Romeo.

"Wow Savannah. You look so hot." Romeo acknowledging my arrival.

Nick quickly moved his head to me and it wasn't his first time to see me like this but I'm still getting a little bit shy. Aries and Alec were staring at me too. Usually my bikini is a one piece cos I'm not that confident about my body and my skin and I'm not used to wearing two pieces.

"She is, isn't she?" Tracy commented.

"You do look pretty damn fine." Alec said.

I blushed. "Yeah thanks."

"Ah there's my babe! Cmon Trace, let's go swimming! Wow! Looking amazing Savannah!" Clyde appears and walks closer to us.

"Thanks Clyde." I said.

"Wanna join us Savannah?" Tracy asked.

"Maybe a little later." I answered.

"Alright. Suit yourself." Trace says before hopping over Clyde's back.

"Savannah." Nick calls out to me.

I turned to him. "Yeah?"

I'm hoping he's going to compliment me like how they complimented me. Compliment what I'm wearing Nick. Come on. Please. I'm only having the courage to wear this cos of you, cos I want to tease you.

"Since you're the only one who's not doing anything right now, I need you to help me bring out more ice." Nick said strongly and sounded kissed.

"Nick." Tracy called out to him, telling him he's being rude again.

Is he mad? What did I do?

"It's okay." I snapped. "I'll just help."

Nick starts to walk and I was just following him. I was a few steps away from him and he didn't seem to wait for me. We reached the door and well he did open it for me and he leads the way to the kitchen. He walked around the bar and I was just silently following him.
