" Good morning handsome young men" Melinda's mum greeted interrupting the guy's sleep
" Good morning ma'am" Derek slowly said why getting up from the bed and stretching himself. Kelvin yawns widely as he scratches his neck; Timmy at the other hand was still sleepy.
" I must say you gentlemen are handsome, I just got a glimpse of you all yesterday. You all seem tired to hold even a minute conversation yesterday" she said
" Yes ma'am, we had a long walk which wasn't our plan, it kind of drained us" Kelvin said
" Melinda told me, am glad you all volunteered to help me out at the beach sacrificing your holiday" she said to them really thrilled
" Volunteered to help?" Timmy quickly asked raising his head from the bed he had been feeling sleepy on during the whole conversation
" Yes! We are glad to help as friends of Melinda" Derek quickly said in high tone
" Thank you, you all can come out to take your bathe first, eat and then meet the other people staying at the beach, you might make new friends here since some foreigners also come here" she told them
"Sure ma, we will do that" Derek responded
She smiled again at them before leaving the room. The guys quickly looked at Derek to explain himself as they have been lost on the part they heard the woman say "Volunteered"
" I kind of skipped the part that we will also help at the beach..." he said pausing as they kept on looking at him " and beside; there are a lot of girls you will get to meet why helping out" he said again with a smile on his face, the guys signed in disbelief.

" It's really crowdy here; a lot of new faces to meet" Timmy said when they had come outside after doing their things which lasted for twenty minutes
" Yeah; Claire can see that too, I was wondering why she haven't come to see you since morning to pester you like a parasite, now I know why" kelvin responded having a little grin on his face
Timmy frowned his face when he had seen Claire talking to some older guy at the beach, they were laughing so hard that it made Timmy Jealous
" Why frown your face? You do that too and beside she is just talking to him not kissing him" Derek told him as they suddenly stood in awe when the guy Claire was talking to suddenly kisses Claire on her cheeks
" You can frown now" Kelvin quickly said. Timmy left them to meet with Claire who was waving at the guy she had been talking to since after their conversation had ended
" Why is he always jealous whenever Claire hangs out with other guys whereas he is a total jerk too?" Kelvin asked not really wanting a reply
" Come on let's look around the beach , I can't handle whatever drama they would be starting right now" Derek said as he walked away followed by kelvin
" Babe, I didn't see you earlier this morning, thought you would probably still be asleep" Timmy said gently with his two hands inside his pocket
" Just go straight to the point and ask me whatever you wanna ask me Timmy, it's creepy when you pretend to be romantic" Claire said rolling her eyeballs round it's socket
" Babe you can't go around letting strangers kiss your cheeks" Timmy said
" Are you jealous?" Claire asked grinning
" No, I am not. I am just worried you might meet bad people here" he lied denying the fact that he was actually jealous.
" It's cute seeing you jealous " Claire said, with that she walked away as Timmy followed her still sulking.
" Who is that beautiful lady?" Kelvin asked interrupting Derek who was walking towards Melinda.
" There are a lot of pretty ladies in here" Derek said sarcastically
" I meant that pretty lady over there" kelvin said pointing towards the direction of the young lady serving coconut milk to one of the young men sitting with his group of friends
" She is Mary by name. She is the new beach attendant, she is really hardworking" Melinda said when she had overhead the guys talking
" Hope she is single because I am ready to mingle " kelvin said
"She isn't your type of girl kelvin, just find someone as crazy as you" Derek told him
" Avoid me from today" Kelvin teased
" I will do that from the bottom of my heart" Derek said as Melinda burst out laughing
" We are preparing for a surprise party at the beach tomorrow night, care to join for the preparation?" Melinda asked Derek
" Yes of course" Derek responded
" Can I come too? I know there would be some free foods for the workers before the party " kelvin said why battling his eye
" Who are you again?" Melinda asked
" Derek's friend " he responded
Melinda looked at Derek who raised his shoulder and waved his head in denial of his friendship with Kevin.
" Seriously guys" Kelvin said as he watched them leave his presence.
