Brandon meets up with Zack, and find the others by the car

Meanwhile, Brandon was starting to get seriously worried about his girlfriend again - and with all due right, if he'd only known about what Kurt was up to at the moment. Still he couldn't stop thinking about what he'd done to Victoria however, or his little game with Heather the other day, and was ashamed to find himself getting hard again at the mere thought of what their sweet bodies had felt like in the palms of his hands.

"Would she ever forgive me if she heard that I've groped both of her best friends...?" He grimaced badly at the picture of Ashley's face when she learned of his action, and in the worst case from somebody else than himself. But would it be right to tell her and make her worry without reason, as long as nothing had actually happened between himself and either of the other two girls. Or had it...?

"Dammit...?!" He suddenly cursed to himself as he realized he hadn't been looking out the window for a while now, and found that Zachary was already on his way up the steps to the wooden deck when he did. In a way it spooked him even more to see the young man returning alone, than it'd done if he'd seen the way that he and Ashley were exchanging glances just a few a moments earlier. "You didn't find her...?"

"Well, yeah..." Zack answered a bit startled as they almost collided on his way into the kitchen, and pointed back to the double doors as if the girl was right behind him. There was that certain tension to his voice as well, but Brandon decided it was simply something that remained between them after he'd caught him and Ashley so close to each other up at the lookout point the other day. "She was just out for a morning swim, and then she went to your car to change her clothes..."

"Well, as long as she's not with that guy Kurt...!" Brandon thought to himself, as he could still remember how the newcomer to their group had been ogling and chatting to all the girls by the lake, and was further relieved to hear that Gavin had been out there with her as well. The fact that the other guy hadn't stayed to keep an eye on Ash and Zack wouldn't have bothered him too much either, though it most certainly would if he'd only known what actually happened back there.

"Hey, don't think about it!" He said out loud though, and gave his friend a reassuring pat on the shoulder, while he tried to hide his own suspicions as deep as he could inside of his mind. It wouldn't be right to be jealous on Zack after all, while he still wasn't sure of his apparent friendship with Ashley.

Especially not while he was still having doubts himself, regarding his own sense of loyalty towards his beloved girlfriend...

"I guess I'll just wait for her to get changed then." He continued, while his friend was starting to look around for something to eat, and then decided to leave his friend alone for a while. The guy was obviously still rather nervous about something, and Brandon didn't want to push either him or Ashley too much.

Still there was something gnawing on his mind though, and instead of returning immediately to his room he found himself steering off towards the front door...

It was a decision he wouldn't come to regret at all, and he could feel the hair stand upright on his neck as he found his girlfriend already chatting away with the guy he despised the most out of their group - her back trapped against the open door to Brandon's own car, and Kurt towering over her like he was practically about to steal a kiss from her at any moment.

"Dammit!" He could just barely control the surge of anger welling up inside of him at the sight of the two of them together, and his suspicions about his girlfriend's potential affair with Zachary paled into nothing in comparison to this.

"Hey, Ashley...?" He tried his his best not to bite his own tongue as he approached the pair, and pretended like he didn't even notice how Kurt backed away from the girl like if he'd been caught red-handed with something. It only proved his guilt though, and the knowing that grew on his lips gave Brandon some serious trouble to keep from beating it out of his much too handsome face.

"Brandon?" His girlfriend didn't seem quite so relieved to see him as he'd hoped, which phased him somewhat and made the other guy's grin even more frustrating to bear. Whatever was going on here it seemed like he was almost too late already.

"I'll just go inside and get changed..." Ashley continued then, and caused both the two guys to stop for a moment and stare at her back as she hurried to the door which her boyfriend had just appeared from. Her sudden disappearance didn't shift his own animosity towards the handsome blonde however, and the two of them glared at each other before they both headed back inside as well - with none of them willing to let the other one out of their sights.
