Mandy woke up groaning.

"Water," She said. She slapped me on my arm, waking me up. "Water."

I slid out of bed and grabbed a cold water bottle from the mini fridge. She gulped it down and handed me back the empty bottle. She was clearly feeling the effects of all that she had drank the day before.

"What time is it?" she asked, pulling the comforter up over her head.

"10:12"

"Shit. Breakfast ends at 10:30."

"Why don't I run and get something and bring it back to you," I offered.

"Would you do that?"

"Of course! What do you want?"

"Can you get me the French Toast?" Mandy asked. "And a croissant. Those croissants are so good."

"You got it, my love." I threw on some clothes and headed to the restaurant. The hostess gave me a to-go box and I began stuffing it with French Toast and pastries and a few slices of bacon.

"Hey!" A familiar voice came from behind me. I turned to find Mia and Glenn. Mia looked stunning as usual. She had on a long, flowy dress that covered up most of her body and wasn't very tight, but somehow still showed off her incredible form.

"Hey, there," I greeted them.

"Not sticking around?" Glenn asked, nodding toward my cardboard box filled with breakfast foods.

"Yea, unfortunately Mandy is having a rough morning. All the **** she drank last night is taking its toll."

"Oh no," Mia said sympathetically. "I hope she feels better. She was really warming up yesterday." She winked at me.

"Yea," I laughed. "She was getting a bit wild."

"I guess we'll just have to get her liquored up again today," Glenn joked.

"I'll do my best," I said, playing along. "Anyway, let me get her all this food so she can start feeling better and we can hit up the beach today."

"Hopefully we'll see you around," Mia said, waving.

"All of you," Glenn chimed in.

"Ew, gross, you want to see Scott's dick," Mia said sarcastically, slapping Glenn's elbow.

"No, that's not what I meant," Glenn stammered. "That's not what I meant!" But as I started walking away he added, "fuck it, I want to see your dick too, bro!"

I started laughing so hard I almost dropped my carton of food.

"I ran into Mia and Glenn at the buffet line," I told Mandy as I stepped into the room.

"I think I'm just going to lay in bed all day," Mandy said, pulling the covers down just enough so I could see her eyes. I laughed.

"You can't do that. They are really looking forward to seeing you today."

"I bet they are. They just want to see my boobs."

"Can you blame them?" I asked. I handed her the box of food and silverware and she propped herself up enough to begin eating.

"I feel like I just get liquored up and make a fool of myself."

"What are you talking about?" I scoffed. "Nobody thinks you're a fool. Everyone loves you."

"Because I took off my top."

"That's not the only reason."

"All day yesterday I was worried about seeing that couple, then I was so drunk last night I just decided fuck it and decided to screw right in front of them." Mandy placed her palm to her forehead. "It's so embarrassing."

"You have nothing to worry about," I insisted. "There's nothing embarrassing about it. Look, we can leave if this is all making you this uncomfortable." Mandy groaned and tossed herself down onto the bed.

"What?" I asked. "What is it?"

"I'm not uncomfortable," she replied. "That's what's bothering me so much. I'm not really uncomfortable with any of it. I woke up this morning horny, dreaming about making love in front of all the couples in the resort, just right out in the open. My head was also killing me, otherwise I would have probably attacked you. I'm not embarrassed about anything I did yesterday. I'm embarrassed that I'm not embarrassed."

I took a deep breath and held her hand.

"Look, I get it." I stroked my fingers across her palm. "This isn't exactly normal. But we're both OK with it, right? I mean, I'm OK with it. Because even though we've messed around with another people in the past, or flirted here and there, or had sex in front of another couple, I'm still waking up next to you. And that means more to me than any of this other stuff."

"You don't have to say all that."

"I'm just saying what's in my heart." Mandy smiled then wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me in for a kiss. Her breath was rough to say the least but I didn't care as I pushed my tongue past her lips. My hand found her breast.

"I'm still not feeling great," Mandy said. "I think I'll be better after I eat. That bacon is already getting my blood flowing."

"Maybe a mimosa would help kick you back into gear? I could run to the bar..."

"No, no, no," Mandy dismissed. "Not yet."

"Well, we've got plenty of time to drink and plenty of time to make love. Although I don't think the resort would be too happy if we did it outside by the pool."

"I don't know, that couple last night were going at it in the pool."

"Yea, true. Maybe nobody saw them. Or maybe the night staff gives a little more leeway."

"Are you going to the nude beach?" Mandy asked.

"I think so," I answered. "I feel like we're here, why not? Even if it's just for a minute, at least I can say that I did it. You don't have to come if you don't want. I can just take a quick dip while you stay at the bar or the other side of the beach if you want."

"I'll see how I feel."

"You mean how drunk you are?" I teased.

"You mean how drunk you get me?" Mandy shot back. I kissed her again.

"OK, OK," Mandy said, pushing me off of her. "Let me eat."

*****

Mandy was right. After we finished our breakfast in bed, she was ready to go. She had her swimsuit on, hat on head, towel in hand, ready to walk out the door before I even picked out what swim trunks I was going to wear. I hurriedly got ready then we made our way past the pool, down the walkway to the beach.

"So..." Mandy said, pausing and looking around the beautiful shore. "Which beach are we going to?"

"Whichever one you want," I answered.

"OK," Mandy said. She looked around the standard beach then over yonder toward the nude area then back to the standard section. "I think that's Glenn surfing."

"You're right," I said, looking out into the ocean. Glenn was wading in the surf, out past where everyone else was in the ocean. "I wonder if he's catching anything. Mia's probably here, do you want to set up next to her?"
