Though her eyes stayed down at the planner, from her peripheral vision she followed Adrian's every step. She felt him watching her, and she needed him to be watching her if she was going to accomplish what she wanted. What she needed. There was some small, tiny voice in her head that was scolding her for her thoughts, but there was another roaring desire that completely overpowered any rational, sympathetic thoughts that might be trying to burst through. Maggie knew she had to play a little dirty to get her way, and maybe using some of her old tricks were necessary. It was funny, she thought she'd have these thoughts again, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
Maggie casually tossed the book to the part of the bed nearest Adrian, the pages remaining open on the doodling and elaborate script. She stretched, feigning some exhaustion herself, and with swift fingers undid the tie in her hair and the knot in her cover up. The nearly sheer fabric slipped off and revealed her one piece bathing-suit. Though her stomach wasn't huge, and could be blamed on a lack of working out these past few weeks, she still knew how to style herself to look her best. Her hair had grown out and long over the season, and the slight curls dropped over her shoulders and laid perfectly on the low-cut neckline of the bathing suit.
Oh, yes, casual was definitely the word for this very moment.
She took the cover up and wrapped it around her waist as she stood. Maggie finally twisted to look Adrian in the eye and she smiled gently before moving to the glass door that led to the balcony. She pushed up on her tiptoes to close the curtains of it as the sun was beginning to blind her, and she turned back to Adrian, lips pressed together in thought as her hands held onto the curtain behind her back.
"He's starting to like you better than me," Maggie said, knowing that her son had enjoyed hanging out with Adrian over her far before this trip. She tilted her head in a coy fashion, "I'm going to have to fight you for his attention, aren't I?"
