"Are the two of you coming up for some food or is eating each other's faces enough". Jasper said, throwing a beach ball at them.  “So the wrong analogy to use about a..”. Joel mumbled, making Ally slap his shoulder, shushing him.  Ami ignored them but stuck out her tongue at Jasper. She swimmed for the ladder anyway. Everyone else had gotten out of the water 20 minutes ago. Someone had finished up the food and set the table. Connor grabbed her when she tried to get up the ladder, turning her in his arm and kissing her again. She could feel the cold metal of the ladder against her back.

"I think I want to see if Linda is on skype, I haven't talked to her face to face since I got here". She said, pulling out her phone.   They had just finished eating their lunch after a busy morning of recordings. Connor looked over at her. "Why not ? You haven't fallen out or something have you ?" "No not at all, and I have texted her. To be honest, you are the reason. I knew how she would react to you being here. She has kind of been pressuring me to contact you and I just couldn't handle having to discuss it…It was easier to keep you secret on text". She looked at him apologetically.

"Oh God, is any of you capable of answering a simple yes or no question in less than 45 seconds ?" Ami was looking from Connor to Josh. They had finished eating and sat relaxing with a glass of wine, Chris and Josh had been telling a lot of stories from the set of their new movie. Chris laughed heartily.
