Spring Broke
Day One — Sunday
“Come on, girls. Rise and shine. It’s time for us to go get some hotties out there.”
Tammy hadn’t really expected an answer so she was perfectly fine with the muttered threats and imprecations that were clearly meant to send her fleeing in fear. Well, it half worked. Stifling a grin, Tammy grabbed a towel and some suntan lotion and she fled down to the pool. She was bound and determined that when she finally came home, she was going to have a smoking hot tan.
There were already a few girls out by the pool but there were hardly any guys which from Tammy’s way of looking at it totally sucked. Okay, there were no guys if you didn’t count the one who was tending the bar and since he worked for the hotel, he didn’t really count anyway, but then really, that wasn’t why she was there.
Not yet, at least.
Tammy applied her lotion and laid herself out just like all the other girls. It was too bad that the hotel didn’t allow you to go topless. That would be so cool to have no tan lines at all and wouldn’t all the other girls back home be so jealous of her if she came back without any tan lines.
But Tammy sighed. The rules had been made abundantly clear to her and Tammy had the feeling that those rules were there for a reason and she couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to cause those rules to be put in place.
So with he sunglasses now firmly in place, she settled back to get to work on her tan.
“You’d do better if you took your top off.”
Tammy pried an eye open to see who’d said that. She hoped it was someone cute. “Oh,” she said, “it’s you.”
“You’d look better if you took your top off,” Ryan Jepson said again. Ryan was one of the boys who’d been checking in at the same time as her and Hayley and already, Tammy’d written him off as a dud so the last thing she wanted was for someone to see her talking with him.
“I heard you the first time,” Tammy said.
“Hey, I’m just trying to help.”
“Yeah well, who asked you?”
“You could get an all-over tan if you did that,” the boy said. “You wouldn’t have any tan lines.”
“I know that,” Tammy said with irritation. She couldn’t help but be annoyed that Ryan Jepson had somehow figured out just what it was that she really wanted. Somehow, having him know that somehow diminished how much she wanted it.
“I could help you apply the suntan lotion,” the boy said.
Was he really fucking serious, Tammy wondered. Couldn’t he see that she already had suntan lotion on. “I’m fine,” she said.
“You sure.”
“Listen,” she snapped. “I told you. I’m fine.”
“Hey, I was just trying to help,” the boy said. “You don’t have to get mad about it.”
“Listen, I’m just trying to get some sun,” Tammy snapped.
The boy just grinned and Tammy wasn’t sure why that irritated her so. Maybe she was hoping he’d get mad at her. Maybe then, he’d leave her alone, but he wasn’t getting mad. “Listen,” he said. “I’ll just leave you here and we can get together later if you want,” and with that, the boy walked away.
Get together later, Tammy thought. Yeah right. Like that was ever going to happen. She settled back down again. It was time to get some serious sun.
“He’s cute, you know.”
It took a second for Tammy to realize the girl in the chair was talking to her. “What,” she said.
“I said he’s cute.”
“Who? You mean Ryan? You’ve got to be kidding.”
“You guys look cute together.”
Tammy laughed. “We are most definitely not together.”
“Too bad. Like I said. You guys look cute together.”
Tammy laughed again. “You got to be kidding. You like him so much, maybe you guys should be together then.”
“That’s not the way it works,” said the other girl. “I wish it did but it doesn’t. Don’t get wrong. I’d totally love to be having him telling me exactly what it was he wanted me to do and I’d so totally want to do it for him, but the truth is that’s not the way it works. He’s into you. Anyone can see that which means I don’t have a chance.”
Tammy was stunned. The girl was obviously crazy but then she smiled. “Like I said,” Tammy repeated, “maybe you guys should get together then.
It was only her first day there, Tammy figured, and she didn’t need to get all her sun in just that one day, and besides, she wanted to go see what the other girls were doing.
“There you are,” said Hayley when Tammy finally entered the room. “We were wondering where you’d gone off to.”
“I told you. I went off to get some sun.”
Hayley snorted. “I’m on vacation. I don’t even think about getting up before 10 AM. If you told me something before that, I didn’t hear it.”
Tammy let that one slide. “So what are you guys up to,” she asked.
“We were going to go into town and get some breakfast,” Christina said.
Tammy smiled. “It’s a little late for that, you know.”
“Okay, lunch then. Besides, it’s not really the food we’re interested in.”
“Yeah? What is it then?”
“It’s the clubs, silly. We got to find out where all the cool spots are.”
Tammy grinned. “I knew that. You can count me in.”
It wasn’t long before the four girls were waiting for a table to eat. “There’s not much to do here,” observed Becky with a dismissive sniff.
“That’s just because it’s still light outside.”
“Yeah? What’d you hear?”
“Word is when the sun goes down, that’s when the energy goes way up.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah, I mean hey, check out that place.”
“What place.”
“Over there,” Christina said with a nod. “That bar. They’ve got a wet t-shirt contest on tonight. You guys want to go?”
“What,” Hayley cried. “I’m not going to go take my shirt off in front of a bunch of drunken guys.”
“That’s not what I heard.”
“What did you hear? What did you hear?”
“Nothing,” the girl said in a tone that made it clear she had definitely heard something.
“I was drunk.”
“So get drunk again. How about the rest of you ladies. Either of you up for it?”
“Sure,” said Becky. “I’m in.”
“Guys,” Tammy pleaded.
“What?”
“Come on. You can’t be serious.”
“Looks like someone’s going to be staying home alone.”
“No, but—”
“Oh, so you got a hot date you aren’t telling us about,” Christina teased.
“No, but—”
“Come on,” Hayley said. “Come on. Come with us. It’ll be fun.”
Tammy still hadn’t given in that easily but her resolve was weakening. It still took the three of them most of the lunch before they finally convinced her to go but now she was up there on stage, showing off her tits. “Whoo hoo,” she screamed and then she lowered her shirt. She wasn’t even sure why she’d done it but it felt good. She lifted her shirt again. “Whoo hoo.”
Suddenly, she saw him. Ryan was standing right there in front and for some reason that she just couldn’t explain, she lifted up her shirt. “Whoo hoo,” she screamed again.
God, he could be such a jerk but it was so fun to tease him. She showed him her tits yet again. Let him look, she told herself. It wasn’t like he was ever going to get to see them again.
