"do you guys want to go in the jacuzzi?" brian asked as he helped emma get upstairs after breakfast.

"you have an indoor jacuzzi?" faye asked.

kevin nodded,"and a pool. both nicks idea."

emma nodded,"okay, ill go."

amanda raised an eyebrow and glanced at her,"one small problem princess, you dont have a bathing suit."

"yes i do. the resort we were on our way to had a pool and spa."

"i have mine too,"faye said.

"you can borrow one of my tshirts and some shorts,"aj said as he helped amanda upstairs.

"amanda doesnt swim,"faye said. "i mean she cant."

"well were just going in the jacuzzi. no swimming involved."

brian helped emma into her room and went into his own room with nick on his heels.

"you dont have to," amanda said as aj helped her over to the bed.

"but i want to. ill be right back," he said and went into his room.

"what do you want frack?" brian asked as he dug through his suitcase.

"um...do you like emma...? i mean youve been helping her alot and stuff."

"well look at her," brian said. "shes about half the size of ME and shes hurt. i cant help but want to take care of her."

nick nodded nd brian smiled,"besides, i can tell you like her. you didnt take your eyes off her once during breakfast."

he blushed,"i was THAT obvious?"

brian laughed,"only to me. now go change." he smirked,"theres gonna be a half naked girl down in the jacuzzi for you."

nick rolled his eyes,"pervert," he said before going back to his room to change.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


"their cute huh?" faye asked as the three girls got into the jacuzzi.

emma smiled,"very. i dont think kevin has stopped looking at you..."

faye blused,"nick couldnt keep his eyes off you either." amanda rolled her eyes and faye smirked,"please...i saw you blushing when aj took your hand."

amanda blushed and looked down,"shut up."

both faye and emma laughed,"aww, how cute."

"would you two just sh--"

"hey...you beat us down here," brian said walking in.

emma looked up and smiled,"hey. wheres howie?"

"he had a couple of phone calls he had to make," brian said looking like he was about to cannonball into the small jacuzzi.

amanda glanced at him,"just sit your butt down and dont try anything stupid. none of us are well enough to drive you to the emergency room if you fall and bust your head open."

brian pouted but sat down between her and emma. nick blushed as he sat down on the other side of emma. kevin sat between nick and faye while aj sat on the other side of faye and amanda.

"so why were you guys going up to that resort?" brian asked.

"that aint none of your business," amanda said.

"omg...." emma mumbled. she leaned around brian and said under her voice,"one more smart ass remark and ill pull you under the water before you can spell heffalumps(lol sorry)."

"jeez...okay im sorry..." amanda mumbled.

"anyways, we were just going up there for spring break," faye said.

"the mountains...for spring break...?" kevin asked.

faye laughed,"yeah, we figured that everyone else would be out in like mexico and florida and stuff and the mountains would be totally empty."

"do you guys do any snow sports?" aj asked.

emma nodded,"amanda and i snowboard and faye skiis."

"is it hard...?" nick asked.

"um...at first cause you basically spend the whole time tumbling but after a while its pretty easy."

nick held her gaze for a second then blushed and looked away.

"so...um..." emma stuttered, a little flustered.

brian looked at the three girls then at the other three guys and rolled his eyes. "okay, im gonna make this easy. do you girls have boyfriends?"

the three girls blushed and shook their heads.

"good. and these guys dont have girlfriends so...kevin ask faye out, aj ask amanda, and for the love of god nick, ask emma. okay im done now," brian said and got out of the jacuzzi.

all three girls and nick turned bright red, while aj was trying not to laugh and kevin looked like he wanted to kill brian.

"now im going to leave you six alone to talk, bye," he finished in a southern accent. he smiled innocently and left.

"im so sorry he did that you guys," kevin said after a few moments of uncomfortable silence.

"im not," aj said. "i mean, hes right. look, i cant speak for you girls..."

"thank god," amanda mumbled.

aj stuck his tongue out at her and contined,"but i can speak for these two and we like you. theres no other way to say it."

nick was turning more and more red by the second. emma glaced at him,"you do...?"

"i...um...well...uh....um....yeah...."

emma blushed slightly,"well i CAN speak for these two and well...we feel the same way."

both faye and amanda looked at her wide eyed. emma looked at them,"what? dont look at me like that, you know im right."

kevin looked at faye who was quite a bit red,"really?"

she hesitantly nodded. "so then do you maybe want to go out?"

"um...really? uh....yeah...okay."

kevin smiled,"k...i know a couple places out here that would be perfect."

"now you two," aj said looking at nick and emma.

emma, who had suddenly become shy, blushed and looked down.

nick cleared his throat about five times before finally asking,"um...do you...uh...um...wanna go out...? i mean...with me..."

"obviously," amanda mumbled yet again.

emma elbowed her,"um...yeah, i would love to."

nick smiled and let out a deep breath.

"now my turn," aj said. he smiled and took amandas hand,"would you do me the honor of going out on a date with me?"

she blushed and was actually speechless.

"amanda answer him!" faye whispered to her.

amanda could only nod and aj smiled the biggest smile.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


brian peeked in the room through the small window in the door. he knew he would have to run for his dear life once nick and kevin got out but it was all worth it. he smiled in satisfaction at his work and went to bother howie.
