"Hey- are you listening? Ribbit." 

you snip your hopping-off-the-balcony-and-into-the-pool plan in the bud and nod to the woman in front of you. 

She had a nice green bikini on with a nice dark green beach cover with several leaf patterns splayed over the sheen scrap. 

Your bathing suit practically matched hers in terms of type. 

A nice red bikini top paired with a black and red dragon cover. 

The top had intricate straps, which you almost gave up trying to put on but eventually, you went for it. 

It wraps around your body, pulling it into an eye-catching ensemble. 

On your left, Ochaco smiles at the sun through her sunglasses. 

She put on a deathly pale pink one-piece with strategic peek-a-boo's placed over the suit. 

She contently sighs before resting her head on her folded hands, intently watching your sour expression. 

"What's got you down in the dumps?" 

she questions, a subtle smile over her features. 

"Mina." 

you deadpan, and Ochaco hums. 

She sighs, 

"Come on, enjoy it! You're off, with your best friends on a balcony, sipping expensive drinks and spending the day in a VIP hotel. Live it up!"

 you groan, she has a point. 

But it wasn't like you wanted to admit it. 

You glared at the woman who seemed to be the root of this forest of problems, casually chatting away with one of the employees with Mina by her side. 

You groan, fixing yourself into a more comfortable position and waiting for Momo to return with food. 

She walks through the door with a pleasant smile, and behind her several staff trailed along with food. 

The smell brings an instinctive smile to your face, you choose to indulge in the food and your friends, pushing your worries to the far rest corner of your mind for a moment. 

You hadn't noticed it before, as all of your visits to this hotel had been at night, but the pool here was quite the sight. 

The water looked calm, with a soothing rhythm that reminded you of a heartbeat. 

And part of the water scaled down the building, into a pond which made the subtle forestry mend quite well with the usual glamorous theme. 

The pool looked as though it was designed for a serene and calm appeal. 

You talk with your friends some more before the topic of work arises and in comes Makaiyla. 

You sigh, and immediately bring in a breath and watch as she comes and takes a vacant seat beside you. 

Even though she maintains a healthy distance, it still makes every bone in your body tense. 

She doesn't even speak to you however, you are still wary of the side glances she sends your way. 

She talks with everyone BUT you. 

As though you were falling, afraid of hitting the ground, you try to find ways to distract yourself from whatever was coming. 

She leads an effortless conversation, can make a point with ease, and overall seemed like a competent, intelligent woman. 

It was amazing, you wouldn't be shocked if she could pull anyone she wanted.
