- Day 5 -

After we get out of the water, I’m desperate to warm up—and not in the tiny excuse for a trailer bathroom. I leave it for Zach, and take my stuff over to the main camp bathrooms, where—thankfully—there’s unlimited hot water, and plenty of room to shampoo.

The bathroom is communal, but I’m too cold to care about the bugs and chipped tile. I hurry to strip off my damp clothing, and practically fall under the shower with a sigh. I have never been so happy to bathe in all my life.

I double-condition my hair, worried that won’t be enough. But as I think of rolling around with Zach in that sludge puddle, it was worth it.

Because he is … wow.

I drift away in happy floaty memories for about five hours under the hot water, until my hunger for food—and other things—drives me out. I dress in clean jeans and a cute retro gingham blouse, then head back to the Airstream. When I get inside the trailer, Zach is just coming out of the bathroom in a pair of shorts and no shirt. In the small space, he seems to loom bigger. He still has all that chest hair, but now that he’s clean shaven with tidy hair, I don’t mind it at all. The chest hair is terribly masculine. I itch to run my fingers through it or even nuzzle my face against him like a cat.

Whoa there, Gemma. Down, girl.

“Hi,” he says, looking down at me, his gaze heavy-lidded, like he knows exactly what I was just thinking.

I swallow and force myself to bring my eyes to his even as I’m thinking he must do crunches while playing video games. Is it just me, or is the trailer shrinking? I swear, I’m practically climbing the guy. “So, uh … food?” I blurt.

Zach smiles. “Martin just texted they’re setting dinner out. We could go eat at the lodge with the others. Or …”

“Or?”

“We could grab a couple of plates to go, and eat here instead.”

Alone.

“Takeout sounds good!” I say immediately.

“Cool. I’ll go,” Zach offers. He grabs a shirt, and heads out, leaving me alone to catch my breath.

Inevitably, my thoughts return to what happened at the lake. Because it was a hot makeout session. Like, I’m talking The Notebook, Ryan and Rachel in the rain hot. But part of me wonders if this is still a part of his post-Lisa playboy routine. I don’t want to be another notch in Zach’s bedpost.

And as for the whole bet complication …

I throw myself down on the tiny, hard loveseat, and grab my phone. ‘Advice pls!’ I text Zoey and Eve. ‘What do I do about things w/ Zach?’

‘There r THINGS?’ Zoey immediately texts back.

‘Yup. Hot things. So hot.’

Surely it wouldn’t be so bad to scratch the itch? I wonder.

Until it inevitably goes sideways and he dumps me. Then I have to see him in the hall of our building. The building he owns.

Awkward.

Although, maybe I can just see it for the no-strings-attached hookup it would be.
