bathroom and you lent me your clothes?” She obviously didn’t want to have to come up with an explanation for her friends, but I couldn’t blame her.
“Just say I left it in the bathroom and you wanted to try it on. Then you can tell them you’re bringing it back to me and go to your camper to change. I won’t say a thing, promise, okay?”
She took the sarong from my hands and then tied it around herself. It did the trick and there was no way anyone would notice the blood. “You’re good,” I assured her and then picked up my things to leave. She was checking out her reflection from behind in the mirror to make sure she was okay, and barely offered a thank you.
“No problem,” I said then pushed the restroom door open to leave.
“Oh my gosh!” I shrieked as I ran smack dab into someone’s chest. “I’m sorry,” I sputtered out looking up to see that it was Travis.
“No worries. Are you okay?” he asked as he helped me find my balance.
“I’m fine.”
“How’s the book?” I was warmed by his concern and wondered if he had been waiting for me the entire time.
“It survived!” I cheered.
“Good! Is Ashley okay?” Oh, he must have noticed her panicked escape to the bathroom and been alarmed. I felt instantly foolish for thinking otherwise. Just checking on his girlfriend , I thought, feeling a twinge of jealousy.
“She’s good, just using the restroom. I’ll see you around Travis,” I said, turning to make my exit.
“See ya Paige.”
Chapter 6
I spent the rest of the afternoon in my trailer reading, and avoided the social scene. Ashley never stopped by to return my sarong, but I wasn’t surprised. My parents got back around 5:30 and immediately informed me that we were going to have dinner with the Medlers. We needed to be at their place in an hour, so I had to start getting ready. I instantly wondered if Travis was going to be there, or whether that meant he would be filling in for his dad in the office.
“Hopefully, you and Travis will have a chance to chat tonight and get to know each other,” my mom said, answering my unspoken question.
“So, who’s running the office?” I asked, just out of curiosity.
“It’s Sunday, so the shop closes at six p.m. Lucille wanted to make sure Travis could join us, so Scott’s father will be on call tonight just in case anyone needs anything,” she said and I was instantly giddy at the thought of spending time with him. That was probably a bad thing since I’m sure his girlfriend would take it out on me later. Even so, I was going to make sure I looked cute for the evening.
I put on my white lace ruffled mini skirt that showed off my legs, paired it with a light pink lace trim tank top, and added a long beaded necklace. I threw my jean jacket on just in case it got chilly later in the evening, and wore my tan suede boots.
“You look cute sweetie!” my mom said as I exited the RV. Both of my parents were dressed nicely as well, so I didn’t feel too out of place.
We started our walk up the road and I realized I didn’t know where the Medlers lived. I wasn’t sure if they stayed in the main building or had a trailer or what. My parents led the way and said we were looking for campsite number one. When we finally found it, I was surprised to see that it was an RV similar to ours. For some reason I assumed that they would have been in the main house, or in something bigger. After all, they were the owners. But the only difference between our two sites was the fact that theirs was lined with trees that were strung with white Christmas lights. It actually gave it a homey feeling, and made it seem like a little yard. I giggled though at the realization that Travis had to sleep on the couch like me. Poor guy !
“Hi! Welcome to our summer home,” Lucille said as she popped out of the camper and came over to greet us. She was holding napkins and utensils in her hands, but still managed to give me a warm hug. The long picnic table
