Derek greeted everyone, and then took his bags. He still hadn't found a room, but from the looks of it, he didn't have much of a choice. Derek noticed that Layla still had her bags as well, and he thought he might as well room with a girl if he could. "Hey. Layla right?" He walked torwards the stairs to lead to the second floor. "We should room together," he said, motioning for her to follow.

"I'd definitely rather like to room with a girl. If I roomed with a guy, he'd end up getting weirded out at some point when he found out I was gay. I don't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. And Layla looks like my kind of girl," said Derek giggling a bit.

He walked up to the second floor and found an empty room with two beds. He layed his bags on the bed closest to the balcony doors and windows. It overlooked the beach, and it was a good view. Once he set his bags down, he went out on to the balcony to look out to the beach as the sun was beginning to set. He looked down and noticed Kate was swimming. "Ooh, I could use a swim," he said quietly to himself.

Derek went back inside and changed into his swimsuit quickly and went out to the backyard where Kate was wading through the pool alone. "Mind if I swim with you?" he asked, but not really waiting for an answer. Instead, he jumped in and began to paddle around. The water was nice and cool, but not too cold. It was perfect.
