Survivors> chapter 8

It is the dead of the afternoon. Kian and Kymie along with Mitzie and Shane have slept inside the new shelter. Meanwhile, Bryan made a hammock from tennis net and tied its two ends between two coconut trees. He got on it and found it not difficult to sleep on. Pril joined him and both decided to assure first if they can be supported by it. Bryan laid back and urged Pril to snuggle up to him. She placed her head on his chest then closed her eyes. Bryan caressed her hair as he too drifted off to sleep.

Nicky and Nady took a stroll for the giant boulders at the other end of the beach. They snuggled to each other and watched the calm waters and cool breeze, which was eating their time away. Out on the sand are Mark and Billie, trying so very hard to make sandcastles. They were teasing and playing with the sand. Mark stared at Billie once, roaming his eyes festively on the contours of her body. She's a very beautiful girl, he thought. So very beautiful, he was smiling briefly to himself when he found her staring at him. Her eyes were sparkling like green emeralds.

"Mark? Are you all right? Is there something the matter?" she asks drawing unconsciously on the sand in front of her. Mark shook his thoughts away and looked at her.

"Nothing. Nothing. I'm sorry. Was I staring?" Billie nodded and lowered her gaze. Mark smirked and met her circles with his own. "Are you involved with anyone right now?" he suddenly asked, his blue eyes looking straight at her. Billie lifted her face to him and met those blue eyes.

"No." She saw him chuckle.

"How come? You are a very beautiful girl. Men should be lining up for you." Billie smiled and tried not to laugh at his remark.

"Why are you asking me that question? It is I that should be asking you if you are involved with anyone right now."

"Well I'm not." Billie looked at him. She didn't know whether to be glad with what he had just said or be sad that no one is taking him seriously as a lover, that everyone is aiming for his wealth and success.

"That is very over-rated Mark. You are famous, there should be girls lining up for you."

"I date, I must admit but I don't let them touch my soul. It's hard to find someone whose sincere enough to understand that my life is not just about being rich or famous, that at any point the band would eventually disband and find other ways to make it up in this world."

"Wow, that is deep."

Mark chuckled and lowered his gaze, running his hands on the sandcastle they made together.

"Do you hope to find that one person whose going to understand and make you happy?" she asks unconsciously but then she wanted him to answer. Mark looked at her and stared at her green eyes.

"Yes."

Billie swallowed a lump in her throat. "And where do you think would you find this girl of your dreams. This someone that you know would understand and make you happy."

"I was hoping she would already be sitting in front of me now, asking these questions."

Billie stopped and lowered her gaze. She smiled and tried to compose herself as she wanted to scream. Suddenly she felt his hand touch her chin, lifting her face to his. Their eyes met and Mark leaned over to give her a soft kiss. He looked at her and leaned again, giving her a more soft, deeper kiss when in a fraction of a second heard a loud squeal from the camp. They both turned their heads to see Bryan running from the hammock he made, taking off his shirt in the process, plunging himself in the water. They saw Pril holding her cheeks with both hands, laughing and squealing. Mark was the first one to look back at Billie, she felt his stare and lowered her gaze again then turning back to him to meet his wonderful eyes. Mark was about to lean again for a kiss when Billie turned her gaze to Pril who was going to jump in the water with Bryan.

"Pril! Be careful!" she shouted to them, leaving Mark to smile and shook his head. Billie turned to him and found him with his reactions. She realized that she ignored his moves to her. "Oh Mark, I'm so sorry?" she begun when Mark grabbed her lips with his, giving her the most passionate kiss. Billie held him by the neck and responded to his kiss. She moaned and encircled her arms around him.

"Hey you two! You should get in the water before we go to that lagoon! Oh come on Mark! You can do that to Billie later!" Bryan teased urging Mark and Billie to withdraw from their kiss and smile. Billie licked her lips and caressed Mark's cheek. She stood up and pulled him by the hands.

"Come on, we can kiss in the water." She told him, pulling towards the ocean. Mark followed and instantly grabbed Billie by the waist, pulling her down with him in the water. Billie screamed giggling, which echoed throughout the beach.

Back to the shelter, Kian came out of the hut and watched the four people playing in the water. He placed his hands on his waist and shook his head. Two fair arms encircled his waist, Kymie's head popped up behind his shoulder. She kissed his shoulder and rested her chin on it.

"They're having fun." She told him. He turned his face to her and kissed her temple.

"Yes they are." Kian pulled away from her, grabbing a piece of large shell, taking water from the shorelines, pouring it on the small fire that was still burning. "We're still going to that lagoon right?" he asks watching her rub her arms.

"Yeah." She answered him, placing herself beside him on the log. He got up and sat beside her, putting an arm around her shoulders, rubbing her arms.

Inside the shelter, Mitzie was running her fingers on Shane's soft bangs. She stared at him while he sleeps, watching every twitch his face makes. She briefly smiles, tracing her soft fingertips on the contours of his face. Then just as her fingers touched his lips, she found him watching her every move. She felt a hand go on her waist then suddenly he leaned over and met her lips with his own, touching it for a soft, feathery kiss. He pulled away, looking at her reactions, then he leaned on again and kissed her deep and passionate. His hand held her tight on the waist, their bodies so close and so hot for one another. Hearing the noise just outside the shelter, Mitzie moaned, already starting to pull away when Shane plunged his tongue deep into her mouth, massaging her own. His grip on her waist grew tighter, keeping her steady with gentle caresses. She placed a hand on his face, responding to his actions. He slowed down but did not left her lips. He was still French kissing her softly, exploring every space in her mouth. Her hands now rested on the back on his neck, caressing through his hair. Shane gave her small kisses, enjoying the feel of her soft lips on his. His eyes opening, watching her as she stares at him fondly, enjoying the pleasures he has been giving her. She closed her eyes to focus on him, feeling him move closer to her. One hand slipped inside her shorts, parting the crotch area of her bikini bottom. Mitzie gasped as she felt his fingers on her hot sex. Shane smiled briefly charging his lips for hers, kissing her more deep, more passionate than before and at the same time stroking her throbbing nub leaving her to moan uncontrollably under his touch.

Kymie leaned onto Kian's shoulder. "Shouldn't we get them to huddle up so we can get going to the lagoon? We should go there early so we could come back here early. It's a bit dangerous to walk in the forest in the dark."

Kian nodded and showed her the torches Bryan had made. "We should bring these two in case." He winked at her and she smiled to him.

"You are so funny, Mr. Egan."

"All the more to please you my sweet Kymie."

Nicky and Nady have started back to the camp. Nady was inspecting some seashells she picked up by the rocks showing them to Nicky. She waved to Kymie and showed her the seashells.

"Look at these Kymie!" Nady called giving one to her then showed another one with a different design. Kian handed Nicky the water canteens.

"We should get on early."

"Great idea." Nicky said turning his way for the four people still playing in the ocean.

Mitzie gave out a strong, silent gasp as she came on Shane's fingers. Her body quivered and spasmed beside him. Shane gave her a deep kiss then drew out his hand from her shorts, licking his fingers to taste her. Mitzie stares and pants, groggily floating still from the surge of pleasure she received from him. Then as he stood up extending his hand to her, she saw the huge blotch of wetness on the front of his crotch. She smiled mischievously. She wasn't the only one after all, she thought. He pulled her up and urged her to run outside for the water. Mitzie held him close and gave him a kiss as they ran. The four people by the campfire was shocked to see them awake and laughing as they hit the water. Mitzie held on to Shane as they caused a huge splash by the shorelines. All the evidence of what they've done inside the shelter was washed away. Mitzie held her head up the water, her arms around Shane's neck. She smiled at him and said.

"You are one clever man Shane." She teased kissing him. He catches his breath and said.

"It's supposed to be our little secret, they can't know our secret."

Mitzie nodded and gave Shane another kiss when suddenly they heard a loud shriek behind them. It was Pril before she made a huge splash in the water as Bryan had thrown her in. Bryan was chuckling and pulling himself down the water then pulling up, roaming his eyes to find Pril who was supposed to be meeting him. But she was nowhere. "Pril?" he called looking at Shane and Mitzie who were also looking around them for any sign of their friend. Billie and Mark have waved away at the shorelines also looking around. "Pril!" Bryan's voice now struggled with fear, echoing with panic. Instinctively, Bryan dived in the water, roaming his eyes for any sign of Pril, but the waters are clear. He came up the surface and called her name again. Shane was already going to him upon hearing his voice quivered with Pril's name. Bryan turned to the deep waters and yelled out Pril's name. He is extremely panicking, not knowing what to do. He can't lose her now, he thought, he can't. A few seconds passed and suddenly he heard his name called.

"Bryan! Bryan!" Immediately he listened to where it was coming from. "Bryan!" she shifted his head to the big boulders and found Pril leaning on the rock, trying to catch her breath. She was waving to him, smiling.

"Oh God, Pril?" Immediately he swam to where she is. He increased the speed of his strokes in the water. He broke off his swim upon reaching shallow waters, running towards Pril, encircling his arms around her, holding her face, kissing her softly. "Promise me?promise me you won't do that ever again?" he told her repeatedly. Pril could not understand what has gone over Bryan. She pressed her body against him, holding him tight. He panicked, she thought. He panicked as soon as he didn't see her beside him. She wanted to smile but his strange ways kept her blank. Could it be that she's getting closer to him?

"What happened?" Kian asks as Mark walks back to the camp. Billie follows along with Shane and Mitzie.

"I don't know, they were playing when Bryan freaked out because Pril didn't merged out of the water after." Kian looks at the two who were already heading back to the camp from the rocks. "Do you know something about it?"

"Bryan lost his childhood sweetheart in drowning. They didn't found her body. It caused him great pain, he was left with a terrible loss."

"Must be the reason why he freaked out." Mark said placing his arms across his chest.

"Well yeah, but that is only a part of it. Pril actually looks like Cate."
