buzzed but nothing too bad. âYouâre in Cancun,â he continued. âItâs all about a good time. I guarantee you olâ girl decided to hook up with that guy. They probably got to talkinâ and now sheâs off doing her own thing and you guys are worried about where she is.â
âHe was so not Evianâs type,â Shay said.
I definitely wasnât stressing over Evian of all people, but that was a little strange that she would be gone that long with a random dude. Iâd seen Marcus follow Evian, so I decided to go call him.
âExcuse me,â I said, standing up. âI need to make a call.â
âWho are you calling in Cancun?â Kennedi asked.
âYeah, do you have any idea how much thatâs gonna cost?â Damien said, his voice slurred.
âSweetie, when youâre Maya Morgan you donât worry about roaming charges and long-distance charges.â
âThatâs what Iâm talking about,â Carson said as I walked off.
I eased off to the side of the bar and punched in Marcusâs number. His voice mail picked up. âHey, Marcus,â I said, leaving a message. âWhere are you? Call me and let me know whatâs up. Evian hasnât gotten back yet and I was just wondering where she went.â
I had just hung up the phone when I saw Marcus inside the hotel at the bar, flirting with someone.
I swung open the hotel door and marched over to him. âMarcus?â
âOh hey, Maya, whatâs up?â He looked up with a big, cheesy grin across his face as he set his drink down on the bar. Some woman with her boobs hanging out of a teeny bikini was latched onto his arm.
âWhat are you doing?â I asked.
He motioned toward the woman, who did a little shimmy. âWhat does it look like Iâm doing? Iâm about to have a little fun in Cancun myself.â
âExcuse me, weâre supposed to be working,â I said in a shushed tone so the woman wouldnât be all up in our business.
âNot around the clock. And correct me if Iâm wrong, but arenât you out there kickinâ it with your friends? Iâm entitled to a little fun, too.â
âYeah, but you were supposed to be getting video of Evian and that guy.â I shook my head in frustration. My other cameraman, Quincy, wouldâve never done this.
âAnd I did get video.â
âOkay, so where are they?â I asked.
âI donât know,â he said, the expression on his face wondering why I was even questioning him. âLook, you told me to get video of them. Thatâs what I did. It was actually quite boring because they were just walking and talking, so I got some video and when they went in the hotel, I bounced.â
âWhat do you mean when they went in the hotel?â
âJust what I said. They went in the hotel.â He pointed toward the front door. âThe one across the street. Probably to get their freak on.â
âYeah, like we are trying to do,â the woman said, giggling as she leaned in to stick her nasty tongue in his ear.
Tramp.
Marcus licked his lips at her then turned back to me. âSo, look here, I did what you needed me to do. Iâm off the clock. If your girl hasnât returned, then chances are sheâs up in olâ boyâs room doing what Iâm trying to do.â
âUgh!â I rolled my eyes and stomped off.
I couldnât be completely mad because Marcus had made it clear that he planned to enjoy himself while he was here. But that was still messed up for Marcus to just leave her like that.
âWhere have you been?â Kennedi asked once I went back outside. No one knew that Marcus was an undercover cameraman, so I couldnât say anything, not even to my BFFs.
âI just went to go check on something.â I glanced around, hoping Evian had returned while I was gone. âSo Evian still hasnât made it
