Climbing in.

Cassandra stood up out of the water a little. Michael couldn't tell if she meant to or not, but the busty blonde was pressing her breasts together a little bit, and it was more than a little difficult to keep eye contact with her. Thankfully, her face was almost as lovely as her breasts-- and that was saying a lot.

"Did you guys start drinking already?" she asked.

"Nope," Jean said.

Michael looked around the bathing room. The scattered empties made it look like he and his sister might have some serious catching up to do. There were over a dozen beer bottles, as well as another, much larger bottle of tequila-- not to mention the bottle that Jon had in his hand.

"Is there anything left?" Michael asked. As soon as he had said it, he felt as though he had crossed some sort of social line, but no one seemed to be angry with him.

"We've got this bottle," Jon said, shaking the one he was carrying. "Aaaaaand..." The large guy reached behind the hot tub and pulled out a two bottles of what looked like sangria. "We've got these, too! This party is just getting started! Why don't you guys get in already?"

Michael gulped. There had been a little part of him hoping that the evening might be winding down by the time that he and Jean actually showed up to the 'party.' He might have been hired out of his mind back in the Murphys' cabin, but at least there he knew that things wouldn't get too crazy. These three strangers... he had no idea what to expect from them. By the looks of them, he would have expected to have been shunned right away. It wasn't often (or ever) that a hot blonde in a tight one-piece bikini invited him to join her in the hot tub, even if there were other people there, too. Maybe hanging out with Jean really did carry some benefits.

While Michael was worrying, Jean was climbing into the tub. She vaulted up over the side and dumped herself in with a mighty splash. The **** of the wave actually soaked Michael's whole upper body, and he was standing at the very edge of the room.

When he saw Jean wading toward her friends on the other side of the hot tub, though, Michael realized that this wasn't an opportunity that he could pass up. He could go back to being a loser once he got off of the ship. For now, he had a chance to really have some fun. Realizing this, the younger Murphy child climbed in after his sister, moving toward where the party was happening.
