Unforeseen Obsessions

Alex studied the two approaching men for a moment before she realized their identity. Mark and Doug, two guys she'd hung out with in college. What a surprise. They continued walking toward her. She'd actually dated Mark for a brief time when she and Sam were "on a break." She smiled widely and sprang to her feet as they closed the gap between them.


Reaching up she placed her arms around Mark. He embraced her slightly longer than one normally hugs an old friend they haven't seen in a while. Over Mark's shoulder, she caught a non-approving glance from Peter.


She released Mark, then hugged Doug keeping this endearment short and sweet as to not upset Peter any further. The three of them took a seat at a poolside table, equipped with a large umbrella adequate for keeping the sun off her pale, sensitive skin. How odd these two men would be at this particular resort at the same time. Small world.
