paying you. If you can't eat then love does you no good."
                  "Have you ever been in love?" The question was out of my mouth before I could even process what I was saying.
                  "I don't know."
                  "You don't know if you've ever been in love?" I gave him a look of disbelief.
                  "I guess I don't. I'd like to think so, but I'm not certain." Cole disappeared somewhere. I saw his eyes begin to gloss over as he was deep in thought, somewhere over the ocean.
                  My concentration on the incredibly sexy man in front of me was broken as I spotted Charlotte and Adrian sitting across the bar, giggling into their drinks. I closed my eyes to silently wish them away but when I opened my eyes they were still sitting there being utterly obvious.
                  "I do believe we have an audience," Cole said with the slightest hint of a smile pulling at his lips.
                  "I see that, I'm sorry." I felt myself flush knowing that he also saw my friends unabashedly gawking at us from across the bar.
                  "It's late and I do believe I should return to my room. Thank-you for the dance, Olivia." The way my name flowed over his tongue made me tingle. The tingle went into a full body vibration when his lips grazed my cheek and he whispered goodnight.
                  "Goodnight Cole," I whispered after him.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 3

    I answered questions from the girls the entire walk back to the room. Although they knew him about as well as I did, they assumed I was withholding information. I assured them if I had any information or knowledge about him they would be the first ones to know.
                  It wasn't long until we all retreated to our own rooms and were out for the night. After a small breakfast and coffee the next morning we changed into our bathing suits and were situated on lounge chairs by the pool.
                  "I only feel moderately like death," said Adrian.
                  "This is an improvement over the previous years," I chimed in.
                  "It is isn't it? I think I'm growing up." All three of us laughed loudly at that.
                  "So, do you like him?" Adrian asked, out of nowhere.
                  "I'm assuming you mean Cole. And no, I don't know him. Literally I know nothing about him other than he is extremely good looking and he can dance."
                  "It's really quite mysterious and romantic. Like out of a romance novel. A tropical location, hot mysterious guy," Charlotte mused.
                  "Except I'll probably never see him again which is exactly why I'm trying not to think about him." I had to be honest with myself. It was a fluke. I wasn't the one who was normally hit on when we were together. I also wasn't one to put myself out there.
                  We fell into a comfortable silence as the three of us drifted into our thoughts, or in Adrian's case, into a deep sleep. I caught myself glancing around the pool area, hoping to see him. Even if he didn't come over to see me, I felt like just seeing that he was real would be enough.
                  My heart jumped a little bit when I saw a few of his friends from yesterday afternoon walk into the pool area. I couldn't help but feel disappointed when I didn't see him follow.
                  Shortly after lunch time the pool area started to fill up. We had given into the call of the fruity drinks and were having a good time. On one drink run, Adrian got caught up talking to a guy at the bar. He was cute, and I recognized him as the man she had danced with last night.
                  "You guys, I think I'm in love," Adrian said as she set down our drinks. "That guy
