Traveling to the beach house

It is time for Spring Break which means that I am lugging my suitcase down the stairs. I cannot believe that I am even thinking this, but it looks like going through Professor Tasque's stupid Prisoner's Dilemma actually had an up side. Everyone in my house is getting to use Tasque's private beach house because one of the student's that failed the class actually complained to the Dean. It is too bad for the nutty professor that that boy's father just happens to be a major donor to the university. It is never wise for a teacher to make a donor angry whether that teacher has tenure or not. It would have been so funny if I could have heard the words that the Dean had slammed my least favorite teacher with. Then again, I never like to hear swear words anyway. I carry my suitcase into to the living room while thinking about this to find Isabella smiling at me and holding up the bikini that she intends to wear during break which takes my breath away.

"How do you think I will look in this, cutie?" Isabella asks me with both a smirk and a wink.

"Oh... well..." I stutter while blushing a shade of deep scarlet because of both the bikini and the flirtation. "Y-you will look so gorgeous in that suit."

"Oh, I hope so," Isabella replies while grinning hotly. "If at least one person does not walk into a pole because of this thing, then it will be a disaster."

"If no guys walk into a pole, I think that there will be at least one girl who will have that particular problem," I remark to encourage my friend.

"I hope that the girl does not injure herself," Isabella says after letting out a little sigh. "It would really upset me if that girl hurt herself plus her parents would probably hunt me down like a dog if she got hurt on my watch."

"Maybe..." I said with a laugh to acknowledge Isabella's joke.

We both share a good laugh as we pile into Max's van behind all of our other housemates. I take a seat in the middle of the left side. I am so excited to be spending Spring Break at Professor Tasque's beach house with all of my closest college friends. I am most excited to be with Isabella because of our budding relationship. I have decided that the relationship that I have with her at the moment just isn't enough. I will be greatly disappointed if Isabella is not my girlfriend by the end of this trip. She has changed me so much since I arrived at Latin House. It is as if she is an artist and I am her lump of clay. I look around at all of my friends to briefly distract my thoughts from Isabella.

Max is the one who is driving us to our appointed destination. He is a nice guy, but he is every bit of the bad boy that my parents warned me about. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had brought Max home for Christmas break instead of Isabella. I can just picture Mom falling into her oven out of shock. Not only is Max a bad boy, but he just does not know when it is time to get serious. I am so glad that I picked Roxanne as a study partner instead of the rocker even if she can be a little snobby at times.

Behind Max is our RA Dominic. I think that Dominic elected to sit there just so he could keep an eye on Max. I really do not see understand Dominic's logic since there are not a whole lot of schemes that you can pull off while driving. It is safe to say that Max and Dominic just do not get along. Now that I think about it, a good deal of their disagreements were over me. They had a little tiff when I wanted to ride a bus to the bookstore and they had another one when I needed someone to help me with their homework. I really like the tall blond as a friend since he has been nothing but helpful to me since I got to college, but I just wish that he would learn to relax once in a while.

I look to right and I see Rakesh riding shotgun. That boy causes a different kind of uneasiness inside me. Max is a bit of a punk, but Rakesh is just scatterbrained. The silly Indian wanted to saw a hole in the kitchen wall on my first day of classes. I wanted to stay and stop him, but I was late for class. If I am truly honest with myself, I just left because I did not want to get mixed up with Rakesh's craziness. That boy is going to get himself arrested if he is not careful. There is also a possibility of him hurting himself or someone else in the name of his art.

Sitting behind Rakesh is my second favorite person at Latin House Sally. Even though Sally can be a little weird at times when she talks about auras and horoscopes, I depend on the perky blonde to keep me grounded in reality. When all of the craziness from Max, Rakesh, and even Isabella threatens to drive me absolutely insane, Sally's calming influence always brings me down to Earth. The only thing wrong with my blonde friend is that she can throw herself into a cause without finding out all of the information first. She did that just a few days ago when she thought they were doing testing on animals in one of the science buildings. It turns out that there were kids taking a test while riding the animals which was officially the stupidest thing that I had ever seen.

Once I finish looking at all of my friends, I take out my favorite Sherlock Holmes book The Hound Of The Baskervilles and begin reading with a smile on my face. It did not matter that I would be travelling for most of the day because I had several books with me. Even though I like to read very much, I had a tough time reading this time because a certain someone was periodically stroking my right arm with two of her fingers. She would always vary the length of time between strokes to keep me off balance. I decided to play a game with Isabella and pretend that I did not notice her flirtations, but ignoring the Latina's stroking was a very difficult thing for me to do. There were several times when I could just barely keep a satisfied sigh from escaping my mouth. The hottie really knows how to get under my skin which is one of the many reasons why I love her. I decided then and there that Spring Break would be the perfect time to make my move on Isabella. All I needed was a moment alone with her.
