“Feel better?” he asked.
“Oh my God, yes. Thank you, Ramsey,” I answered. “Thank you so much. I haven’t laughed like that in a long time. I needed that.”
“Anytime, Kid. Anytime.”

We stayed in the pool for a while that day. Nicole never resurfaced, so that was a big factor in my ease. Ramsey and I had a great time just being there, joking around and people watching. We swam, laughed, drank beers and enjoyed each other’s company. It was the best day I had since the worst day I had, in Mexico.
When the sun was getting ready to make its escape for the night, the pool area had pretty much emptied out. Everyone had headed back to their rooms to get ready for the bonfire that was going to be on the beach that night. Ramsey and I stayed behind, as the bonfire didn’t interest us much. We were very content right where we were.
I was sitting on the second step of the pool as Ramsey continued to do laps. Upon his return to my end of the pool, he put his hands out in front of him and grabbed my legs. He moved his hands up to my bent knees and leaned his face on them. Shaving my legs this afternoon was the best thing I had done all day.
He looked around and then up at me, “So, seems like we’re all alone here.”
Looking around I answered, “Seems that way.”
As I turned my head back to face him, he slightly parted my legs and slid his wet body in between them. Knowing what was coming next, a fire was growing within me.
His arms reached the top step of the pool and his hands were placed on either side of my body. His body hovered over mine as he pressed into me, leaning me back onto the foundation of the pool. When he had me where he wanted me, he didn’t waste any time crashing his lips into mine.
I hadn’t slept with many guys, but I had sure kissed a ton, and not one of them even compared to this one. The scene was perfect. We were in a pool, alone, at night. It was so romantic. Everything about this moment was amazing. Our mouths and tongues danced together as if it were a kiss that had been perfected over time.
Ramsey gently moved one of his hands from the step and grabbed the back of my knee, pulling it up into his body as he strategically placed himself over me. His bare stomach was touching my bare belly and every nerve in my body was going crazy. I wanted him. I wanted to rip off whatever clothes I had on and have him take me right there in the pool. I wanted his hands and his mouth all over me. I hadn’t felt that good in a long time and I didn’t want it to stop.
I normally wasn’t one for PDA’s, but Ramsey seemed to bring out a different side of me. I didn’t care who or what was watching us at that moment. All I could think about was me and him, in that super sexy perfect moment, until someone clearing their throat brought me back to reality.
“Am I interrupting something?” Danny asked, his words reeking of annoyance.
Ramsey unlocked his lips from mine, but never lost contact with my eyes.
“Actually you are, Danny. What’s up?” Ramsey asked, looking down at me, smiling.
“Karen, Lauri is looking for you. She’s up in the room taking a shower and we are gonna go to the bonfire later. She really wants you to come with us. She even got you wine coolers. I know she wants to spend time with you. Can you come, please, for her?” Danny politely asked.
Another long breath escaped my lungs. Yes, I was having an amazing time with Ramsey and he did his job of getting my mind off of David, but Lauri came first and if she wanted me with her, I was going with her. Never taking my eyes off of Ramsey's’ I answered, “Of course I’ll come, Danny. Give me a minute.”
“Ok,” he said and he remained standing there, as if waiting for me to leave with him.
“Well, I guess I should go,” I said trying to wriggle myself free from underneath Ramsey’s body.
“I don’t want you to go. I was just starting to have fun,” he said with a devilish grin. “Would it be ok if I came with you guys to the bonfire?” Ramsey asked.
“Yes, I’d love that,” I excitedly answered. “I’m gonna need to take another shower, so I better get going.”
He eased his way off of me and we both made our way out of the pool. We walked over to the chair that held my towel and I grabbed it and wrapped it around myself. I picked up the rest of my belongings and said, “I’m ready Danny. Are you coming with me?”
“I’m gonna hang out down here with Ramsey for a few minutes while you girls get ready. You have a key, right?” Danny asked.
“Yeah,” I said as Ramsey started walking with me to the gate. “So I’ll see you later?”
“Absolutely. I have to go shower and change too. Why don’t you swing by and pick me up on your way down? I’m in room 133.” Ramsey said right before he bent down to kiss me. I got the same exact thrill that I got the first time he placed his lips on mine, and I wanted it to always be that thrilling.
“Ok. I’ll see you in about an hour then,” I said as I opened the gate and made my way up to my room.
“So, to what do I owe this pleasure, Danny? Got anything good for me,” Ramsey asked, approaching Danny.
“I got that stuff you asked me for and it was pretty pricy,” Danny said, pulling a small baggie out of his pocket. “You owe me a hundred and twenty bucks,” he said, handing the baggie over to Ramsey.
“Always coming through,” Ramsey said as he placed his hands on Danny’s shoulders. “You’re the man, Danny. Thanks. I don’t have the money on me, but I have it in my room. Walk back with me so I can give it to you,” Ramsey offered.
“Ok,” Danny said as they began to make their exit from the pool area.
As they quickly made their way to room 133, Ramsey opened the door to find the room empty.
Ramsey walked right over to his suitcase and searched around for his wallet. Once he found it, he pulled out a wad of money consisting of 50 and 100 dollar bills. He handed Danny $150 and said, “That’s $120 for the product and $30 for you to keep your mouth shut.”
Putting the money in his pocket, Danny said, “I had to go through a lot of trouble to get this shit down here, and I hate sneaking around and lying to Lauri about where I’m going and what I’m doing. And the only reason I did it, is because I owed you. I’m done.”
“You’re done with what, Danny? I’m your best customer,” Ramsey said.
“Dude, I get people pot, not this hard shit. I don’t want to be involved with this. I definitely don’t want Lauri to know about this and I really hope you’re not planning on doing this when you’re around Karen. She’s been through enough, Ramsey. She doesn’t need to deal with a junkie right now,” Danny brazenly said.
“I’m not a fucking junkie, Danny,” Ramsey said, defensively. “What I do with Karen is none of your business, so keep your fucking mouth shut and I won’t tell Lauri that you’ve started expanding the selection of drugs your selling these days. We both know she’d leave you in a second.”
Now standing nose to nose, Danny said, “Don’t threaten me, Ramsey. Just do me a favor and find someone else to get you your shit. I’m done with you.”
“Fine. Get the fuck out,” Ramsey said as he opened the door for Danny.
Once Danny was out of the room, Ramsey slammed the door shut. He went in his bag once again and pulled out a mirror, coated with white powder and a deck of playing cards. He emptied some of the contents of the baggie Danny had given him onto the mirror and began chopping it up with one of the cards. After dividing the powder into four equal lines, he bent over and began to snort them, one by one.
