"Ohhh..." Em smiled. She was unaware of the confusion her behavior and appearance was causing. This was a good thing.
The only thing Em did seem to know, was that out of the three new girls, she felt the most comfortable around Sparky. Taking this into consideration, she wrapped her arms around Sparky's. Her attention was brought to Cara, and she smiled again. "Yes. Thank you!" The girl beamed. Happy to know people liked her simple clothing.
Outside the resort, Bp was grinning like the devil. That was until Ace's name as brought up. She slowly turned to look at Teddy who had a shocked look on his face. He had finally forgotten about the blonde, only to have his name brought up again.
He fumbled to answer Sweetheart's question. It was painfully obvious that he was hurt. "Um, yeah. That sounds good." He gave a short smile in an attempt to appear fine. But he didn't dare remove his eyes from the girl.
Bp licked her lips in thought. "Yeah, that boat ride sounds good." She looked up at Dan and smiled. She was a much better actor than Teddy. "Just lead the way." Leaning up, she kissed Dan on the cheek, just so that she could whisper into his ear. "I'll explain it later..."

Chip gave a laugh, feeling very comfortable, just sitting there like this. With Ace's warm body against him, he began to forget that he had been cold.
"We shall see, then," he said carelessly. He was a little curious over Jan's wardrobe. He had been considering a new style lately, and loved trying on different clothes, anyway. "Maybe I'll let you choose something for me," he said with a chuckle. "See what you'd like to see me in."
With a bit of a frown he then looked over to the beach, though he couldn't really see it from where he sat. He wondered what was keeping Dan. He wanted to get off already.
Dan was quite confused over the reaction Ace's name caused. He frowned and was about to open his mouth to ask what was wrong, when Bp whispered into his ear. He realised this must have something to do with what Ace had told Bp earlier. He felt rather dumb at that realisation. The whole thing had nothing to do with him. And Chip had known, of course. This made his bad temper direct toward his best friend. Why hadn't he said anything? That was so like Chip. Prattling on about inconsequential matters but whenever there's something important...
Pushing those thoughts away as best he could he nodded to Bp and kissed her on the forehead and took her by the hand.
"Let's go, then." He looked over to Sweetheart and Teddy and nodded his goodbyes before starting off. For once he didn't say anything about "taking care of his sister" to Teddy as he left. He was smart enough to realise this was not the right moment.
Sweetheart, for her part, was practically heartbroken over how hurt Teddy obviously was. She pulled him into an embrace and kissed him gently on the neck.
"I'm sorry, Teddy," she said quietly so that Dan and Bp couldn't hear her. "Dan... probably doesn't know yet."
Her other hand stroked Teddy's hair gently, hoping to make him feel better.

Ace grinned when Chip mentioned letting him pick something out. It would be fun, dressing Chip up. Jan did have a good amount of highly chic business attire, maybe he'd go a little crazy and dress him up in a fancy pinstripe suit. Chip had the sharp features to pull off the haughty business man look after all. It could be fun.
Ace followed Chip's gaze to the beach, also feeling a little antsy. Should he send Chip to look for Dan, maybe? He just wanted to get home and relax. Hopefully Dan would show up soon. He just wondered if the other man would be bringing BP with him. He hoped so, at least if they had made up. He wanted Dan as happy as possible for the trip back, anything to keep them from engaging in conversation. Regardless of what Chip said, Dan still freaked him out and he wasn't looking forward to being in such close confines with him for the trip back. He'd have to really utilize the full speed of the boat and make the trip as short as possible.

[[Oh I meant to add that I can bring Dan and Bp to the boat, if you want, Sharise - but I wasn't sure if you wanted to add something for Bp or something *shrug* *wants to get these guys off the beach little by little* ]]

Bp smiled apologetically to the couple as she turned and left with Dan. She knew Sweetheart would be able to cheer him up, and for the first time, she was genuinely happy for them.
Teddy smiled softly as Sweetheart spoke. "Yeah, but I'm sure Bp knows.. and she'll probably tell him... Then she'll probably try to talk to me about it tomorrow night." He chuckled softly at the thought and shook his head. "She's always the one to talk sense into me when things get shitty. Which is strange because she's the one with the short temper.. I mean, really.. you'd think I'd have to be the one trying to knock some sense into her.. but no..." Teddy's smile faltered as he realized he had been rambling on about Bp. This was the first time he ever wondered if Sweetheart was jealous of the other girl. Because if so... that was going to cause some problems.

Chip remained lost in blank thoughts, though he was just about to suggest that he go out and look for Dan, or call him maybe, when a familiar dark red hair came into view. Dan was so tall, Chip saw him first. He nudged Ace a little.
"He's coming now."
Dan, as soon as they were out of hearing range from Teddy and Sweetheart, leaned in closer to Bp, a bit of a worried expression on his face. He might have had his prejudices against Teddy, but he loved his sister, and what concerned his sister concerned him.
"What's going on?" he asked with a low voice. They were quickly approaching the boat, and could probably soon see Chip and Ace.
Sweetheart wasn't sure how she felt when Teddy started talking about Bp. She had had her doubts about him and Bp for quite a long time now, especially since Teddy hadn't gotten round to asking her yet. However, now that he had... she couldn't help but think that she had been mistaken all along. That there was nothing but a very deep friendship between Teddy and Bp. And so she smiled when Teddy's smile started to falter - as she interpreted it as being still affected by Dan's mention of Ace. She brushed her fingers over his other cheek gently.
"You two are close," she said quietly, her smile fading for a moment, to be replaced by a trace of sadness. "I'm sorry we grew apart for so long." She sighed, then smiled again, looking happier. "But I'm happy she's been there for you in any case."

Bp bit her lip. How should she go about filling Dan in on the night's events? "Well..." She decided it was best to leave out the part about Ace's attitude toward Sweetheart. "Ace was being an asshole, so Teddy called him on it. And then Ace proceeded to say "What are you going to do? Hit me like your father?" She spoke quickly, but clearly. "And you see, that's a big deal because Teddy's father was abusive toward both him and his mother... and I mean, very abusive. And Ace is one of his best friends.. so that just... crushed him." Pale blue eyes stared up in confusion. She hoped Dan had followed what she said.. and she also hoped that maybe he'd think of Teddy a little differently now.
Teddy smiled when he saw that Sweetheart was okay. But her last comment made him frown. She really did have a problem with it.... "She's a really good person under that tough exterior.. I think the two of you could get along really well. She things you're awesome." He wasn't lying, Bp really had said that.

Dan listened quietly as Bp explained him what had gone on between Teddy and Ace. He didn't even suspect there was more to the story than she told him, but it may have been mostly because he got caught up with one specific sentence. Teddy'sfather was abusive toward both him and his mother...
A feeling that had never before entered him when he thought about Teddy now touched him. It was compassion. Compassion and kinship. He knew how those words would have affected him, had Chip said them to him the same way. He swallowed and felt rather guilty suddenly. Guilty for being so harsh on Teddy all this time.
Something was truly beginning to change in his heart.
"I understand," he said rather gruffly, with a voice that clearly resonated that he truly did - understand.
The boat was coming into view now, and he looked there with a rather dark expression. It seemed like Ace kept causing all sorts of trouble indeed. Why was it that Chip always fell for those types? He should have a long talk with his friend about it. Soon. Though he feared it was too late already.
Sweetheart blushed a little when Teddy said Bp thought she was awesome. She wasn't used to hearing compliments, though she supposed she wouldn't get used to it even if she heard them every day.
"Oh, don't get me wrong..." she hurried to say when she realised he might think she disliked Bp. "I... I like Bp too. I'm happy that she's such a good friend to you. I just meant... that I'm a little sad that I couldn't be there for you more... in the past." She shifted her feet a little and averted her eyes, her thick eyelashes hiding her eyes from Teddy as one of her fingers traced a strange pattern on his chest. "I think she and I should spend more time together... It's a shame we don't know one another at all, she and I."

Bp knew that look and tone of voice all too well, and suddenly, she understood. Dan had been in the same predicament as Teddy. Her heart went out to the man, and she stepped closer to him, and gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.
Teddy smiled at Sweetheart. She was cute when flustered. "You might want to ease into that..." He smirked. "Bp's not... well.. she's not very good at censoring herself, and some of the things that might come flying out of her mouth.. well.... they might make you uncomfortable." He didn't know how else to say it. People like Sweetheart and Bp didn't exactly hang out. They were exact opposites.

Dan looked at Bp when he felt her reassuring squeeze of the hand. His dark look melted into a smile, and he leaned over to kiss him on the forehead and wrap his arm round her shoulders better. The fact that she seemed to understand warmed him. But he didn't say anything. It wasn't his way.
Sweetheart lifted her chin a little, with a smile.
"I'm sure I can handle her," she said, with a light tone. Then she giggled a little and slid her other hand down on his other buttock, squeezing a little. "And who knows, maybe she can teach me a thing or two." She winked and shook her head so that her curly locks fell behind her back.
[[OMG can you imagine what damage Bp could do with my little wanna-be-bad good girl? >:D]]

[Holy shit, Bp would turn her into something amazing. lol!]
Bp smiled to herself, happy that things were so good at the moment. If she didn't know any better, she'd believe that they were actually growing closer by the minute.
Teddy smirked. There she went again, making him all tingly in bad places... well, not bad places.... "She has a few tricks up her sleeve. Then again," His hands trailed down to the girl's own money maker. "So do you."

Sweetheart blushed a cute deep red when Teddy's hands went down. Oh, she was indeed getting a kick out of this whole bad girl thing. She might have felt guilty, but she didn't feel like it right now. She rather just listened to her body. [[so shall we get them off this thread now? And incidentally, do we wanna continue with them still as they go back to Teddy's place or what? I'm cool whichever way, but I want them off this thread in any case. ]]

Ace sat up at Chip's comment, looking back and seeing Dan and BP finally. He sucked his lower lip into his mouth out of habit when he was nervous, wondering what BP had told him, if anything. He moved to his own seat, too nervous to even bother getting another kiss out of Chip before they were joined. But they both knew anyway, so why bother hiding it? Was it just nerves over worrying about what Dan thought of him? Regardless, he sat up straight, leaning over slightly in front of him, his arms on his knees, his nerves eating at him. He remained quiet and just waited for them to get here.

Chip let Ace sit up, glancing at him but trying not to worry too much. He knew what an effect Dan was having on Ace. He didn't get up as Dan and Bp approached the boat, but he nodded his greetings to his friend, happy to see him with the girl again. Good. Now he could stop worrying.
Dan nodded to Chip as well as they approached the boat. He stopped at the edge and then grabbed Bp by the waist, hurling her over his shoulder. Then he got on the boat, carrying her effortlessly, only putting her down once they were on the boat. He grinned to her.
"Who says chivalry is dead?" he asked her with a teasing sort of a tone. He decided that this was too nice a night to be ruined with contemplation. Worries over Ace would have to wait. He would concentrate on Bp tonight.
Chip rolled his eyes, but chuckled a bit. He had to admit that Bp did have a good effect on Dan.

Bp squealed as she was hoisted over Dan's shoulder. There was something about that man's strength that really turned her on. A purr came from her lips as she was placed back down. "You know how to put on the charm." She smirked at the man before turning to look at Ace and Chip. "Well, hello again."
Teddy smirked down at the girl. "Well my dear, is it back to the mainland we go?"
[I'ma trying to get them out of here. lol We can just say they took the ferry back to shore, got in Teddy's car and went to his place. That takes less effort. >_>]
