up.
“Come on,” I say. “Let’s forget about this stuff and hang out.”
“Can we go to the beach?” Violet asks.
“You can fill up the tub in the bathroom and pretend… oh, better yet, let’s pretend it’s a hot tub…”
“Okay,” Violet says.
I help pull her to her feet and she falls into me.
We fall down to the bed together and start to laugh.
This is far from normal.
But laughing feels good.
“How does this look?” Violet asks.
She struts into the bathroom wearing a big, white towel.
She has her sunglasses up on her head.
And she’s got a small, bathroom cup full of vodka.
“You look stunning,” I say.
I’m standing in shorts and a bikini top.
Violet is wearing one of Mac’s t-shirts.
She drops the towel and I point.
“You’re not naked, are you?” I ask.
“No,” she says. “But I have to go in there in what I wore here.”
I grab the bottle of vodka off the bathroom sink and walk to the tub in the corner of the bathroom.
It’s full of hot water.
All the jets are rumbling and making the water dance.
“We just need some music,” Violet says.
“I don’t have a phone, remember?” I ask.
“Oh, that’s right. Your kidnapper took it and threw it into the ocean.”
I snort. “My kidnapper.”
I step into the hot water and slowly sit down.
My body shivers for a second.
Violet takes out her phone and balances it on the windowsill.
She puts on some music and then wiggles her hips as she dances toward the tub.
She get into the water with me and we sit across from each other.
When we look at each other, we start to laugh again.
“Jolie, this is fucking insane,” she says. “I’m pretty sure I’m drunk right now and it’s still insane.”
“Trust me, I know,” I say. “But what am I supposed to do?”
“I don’t know. Not get involved with Mac.”
“That’s your fault!” I yell. “You wanted to go to the beach.”
“And you let me!” Violet yells back. “You’re supposed to be the good voice in my ear. Not this crazy bitch… I mean…” She sighs. “The second you looked at Mac, I was like ‘oh fuck no…’”
“I know,” I say. “He just gets me.”
“Gets you… gets inside you… right?”
“Well, of course,” I say with a grin.
“I’m almost jealous of you.”
“Almost?” I ask.
“Yeah. I mean, you’re fucking crazy. This whole thing is fucking crazy. I’m not sure I could do it.”
“I don’t know what I’m doing,” I say. Then I snort and laugh.
“Your life is so much better than mine,” Violet says.
“I know my bedroom life is,” I say. “That’s for sure.”
“Look at you… you never talk like this…”
“Well, if you saw Mac’s-”
The bathroom door opened and Mac stepped in.
“Whoa,” he says. “Are you naked?”
“Naked?” a voice yells.
“Fuck,” Mac says.
A second later, Taz bursts into the bathroom.
He looks at the tub and he smiles ear to ear.
Violet points at him. “No. Don’t you fucking dare.”
“Too late, darling,” Taz says.
He kicks off his shoes and takes his shirt off in a second.
He then drops his jeans, showing off red boxers that really didn’t cover up much.
“Taz, don’t be an asshole,” Mac says.
“Once again, too late,” Taz says.
He jumps into the tub.
Water slashes up over the sides.
Water covers Violet’s shirt more than she probably wanted.
Meaning her shirt - which is Mac’s shirt - is now skin tight against her body.
Taz sits right next to her and smiles.
“Hey, you,” he says.
“Go away,” Violet says.
“I’ll only go away if I can come,” he says. “Think about it.”
“Taz, we’re trying to just hang out and relax,” I say.
“What the fuck is going on…”
Les’s voice trails off when he enters the bathroom.
He looks at Violet.
I look at Mac.
Mac just shakes his head.
“Let’s see who’s wearing what in this water,” Taz says.
He dips his head down into the water.
“The water is clear,” Les says.
“He’s trying to get near Violet,” I say.
Violet lets out a playful yell a second later.
She grabs Taz’s head and pushes him into the water some more.
“How many seconds until he stops talking?” Violet asks.
“I like your thinking,” Les says.
Violet looks at Les and blows him a kiss.
Oh, Violet.
Taz pops his head up out of the water and shakes his hair like a wet dog.
He turns and gets way too close to Violet.
“Trying to drown me down there?” he asks.
“Oops,” Violet says.
“Your turn to drown between my legs, darling,” Taz whispers.
“Hey, bro, shut the fuck up,” Les says.
Taz stands and turns.
His ass is right in Violet’s face.
She moves to the side and looks at me.
She smiles and nods.
Not bad she mouths to me.
Drunk Violet near
