Author's Notes: Written for theechochorus.
The pool was packed with spring break revelers.
“This,” Lana announced, sliding her sunglasses down her nose as she looked at Molly sitting in the chair next to her, “was a truly brilliant idea.”
“It was, wasn’t it?” Molly preened, picking up the Mai Tai on the table by her chair and taking a sip.
Lana nodded, taking a sip of her own drink. “When were Cam and Jake going to be back?”
Molly shrugged, turning over onto her stomach. “Who cares?”
“Molly!” Lana scolded, copying her and rolling over. “Shouldn’t you care more about your fiancée’s whereabouts?”
“I’m sure he’s fine,” Molly said, voice muffled by her arms, head buried in them. “He and Jake were going surfing, not cliff diving or anything.”
“True.”
“Just relax,” Molly advised, raising her head just a fraction to peek at her friend. “They’ll be back when they’re back.”
“If you say so,” Lana murmured, the heat from the sun making her drowsy. “I’m sure they’ll be back soon…”

A half hour later, Lana was rudely awoken by a trickle of cold water running along her spine.
“What the…” she spluttered, bolting upright in her chair. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of her boyfriend standing over her, his brother sitting next to Molly on her chair. “I’m going to get you for that, Jacob.”
Jake raised an eyebrow. “Is that a promise?” he leered, dropping down next to her and trying to wrap an arm around her.
Lana batted his hands away. “It’s a threat,” she corrected loftily, trying not to let herself be tugged into his arms.
Jake shrugged. “Same difference.” He succeeded in pulling her onto his lap, and dropped a kiss to her shoulder. “Did you miss me?”
“I didn’t even notice you were gone,” she sniffed.
Molly stifled a laugh.
Lana narrowed her eyes at her friend. “Do you have something to say, Mol?”
Molly shook her head, and turned her head, burying it in Cam’s chest in an effort to keep her laughter to herself.
Jake looked down at Lana with amusement. “Clearly I’m missing something.”
“Only if you considering Molly being delusional something.”
“Hey!” Molly protested, lifting her head from Cam’s chest.
Cam looked down at her with amusement. “Do you really want to get in the middle of that?”
“I’m already in the middle of it,” she said, rolling her eyes at him.
“True.” Cameron pressed a swift kiss to Molly’s lips. “What say you and me go get ready for dinner and leave these two losers here to finish their nonsensical argument in private?”
Molly grinned. “Sounds like a plan.” She stood, sliding her feet back into her flip flops and gathering her things together. She looked over at Lana and Jake who were watching the scene with matching frowns. “You think you two can be ready to eat in an hour?”
Jake looked down at Lana, who was clearly growing more indignant by the moment. Seeing her about to open her mouth to answer, he clamped his hand over it and answered for both of them. “I think that’ll be fine.”
Cam shot his brother a look. “Man, are you stupid. Let’s go, Mol.”
Molly slipped her hand into Cameron’s, and said with a final amused look, “Later guys.”
Hand in hand, they walked back into the hotel.
Once they were out of sight, Jake lifted his hand off Lana’s mouth. He smiled warily at her. “Hi.”
She scowled. “What the hell was that?”
“What?” he asked innocently.
“That!”
“You’re going to have to be more specific,” he laughed, pressing another kiss to her shoulder. “Was it that?” he murmured, trailing his lips up her neck.
Lana bit her lip, shaking her head. Damn it, it wasn’t fair how distracting his lips were.
His teeth grazed her earlobe. “That?”
She shook her head again.
“That?” he whispered, running his lips along her jaw.
She didn’t answer, but turned her head to capture his mouth with hers.
Jake smiled against her lips, but kissed her back eagerly, winding his hand into her hair. This whole living on opposite coasts thing sucked.
Lana drew back first, resting her forehead against his, out of breath.
“So are we still fighting?” Jake murmured, pulling back. He pressed a kiss to her forehead, smoothing her hair back.
Lana tilted her face up to his and narrowed her eyes. “We should be.”
“Should?”
She sighed. “No.” She laid her head against his shoulder. “Why can’t I stay mad at you?”
Jake grinned. “Because you love me.”
“I’ve strongly reconsidered that over the years,” she sniffed.
“Liar,” he said, tilting her chin up to kiss her once more.
“Shut up and kiss me,” she ordered, winding her arms around his neck.
He happily complied, pulling her closer to him, tightening his arms around her. “You know,” he murmured against her lips. “We should really continue this inside. Alone.”
Lana pulled back and smiled. “I knew I kept you around for a reason.” She pressed a swift kiss to his lips and then slid off his lap and crammed her things into her bag, holding out a hand to Jake when she was finished. “Ready?”
Jake sat still, staring up at her, the hint of a smile on his face.
“What?” Lana said, blushing under the scrutiny.
“I love you.”
“I love you, too.” She held out a hand. “Now can we go?”
“Absolutely.” He let her pull him to his feet, and then picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, walking briskly towards the hotel.
She beat on his back with the hand that wasn’t holding onto her bag. “What do you think you’re doing?”
He grinned. “Getting us there faster.”
She continued to protest, laughing as she did.
Her heart wasn’t really in it, though. After all, if you couldn’t be shamelessly in love, and do wild and crazy things, what was spring break for?
