I wake up to the sun burning my eyes and my head pounding nonstop. God I fucking hate the aftermath. I groan and flip myself to the other side but come face to face to someone's red back.

Woah. Wait. Wtf.

I look around to see where I am and thankfully I'm in my room. I sit up and try to remember what exactly happened last night and few pieces start to come back. I lift up the covers to see that yup I am indeed naked. So that sure happened.

The party sure was something.

I turn back to the person and see the tattoo I know very well.

*flashback*

I stand here looking at the tattoo artist finishing Nick's second tattoo. We came here to get matching tattoos but Nick decided to get another one. As I'm staring at it I narrow my eyes at him trying to figure out why?

"I like it. But why?" I ask sitting down next to him.

"It reminds me of you." He looks at the tattoo and so do I? It's a tattoo of a naked woman but instead of her head it's an explosion? How does that remind him of me? Yes we've slept together but cmon man too far.

Nick notices my confusion and laughs at me.  I glare at him to tell me what the hell it means.

"You're a beautiful woman with a dangerous but powerful mind." He looks at his tattoo and smiles at me making me smile as well.

*end of flashback*

I stare and smile at the tattoo but then remember the situation that I'm in right now. Back to reality.

I push Nick to wake the fuck up but it's no use since he's a heavy sleeper. I remember that one time me and Jade recreated that 'I don't get no sleep cuz of y'all' moment and he still didn't wake up so we hit him in the head with the tray.

I start pushing Nick to throw him on the floor. I push him off and he falls. Hard. Pain seems to wake him up.

"Puta madre." He mumbles on the floor, rubbing his arm. "What was that for!?"

"Wake the fuck up!" I throw the pillow at him making him sit up. I notice a red mark on his neck. Oh you gotta be kidding. I look back at him and see he's smirking at me? Why tf is he smirking at me.

"Nice neck Lennon." He chuckles. No no no.

"Nicholas I swear to god!" I yell as I run to my bathroom. Fucking hell! I have hickies going from my neck to my chest. Son of a bitch!

Nick appears in the bathroom with just his boxers and laughs at me.

"Seriously." I glare at him and he just shrugs. "You know how much I hate hickies!" I punch him.

"You weren't saying that last night." He chuckles and runs back to my room so I wouldn't punch him again.

"You asshole!" I start throwing pillows at him while he laughs like a lunatic. "This is never happening again!"

"Okay. Okay." He surrenders. "But you said that last time." He shrugs and I glare at him. Son of a bitch. Well this time I mean it!

"Make me food." I demand while I take clothes from my closet to shower.

"Only cuz I got to see you naked again." He smiles. I grab my brush and throw it at him. "I'm kidding." I'm about to close my bathroom door when he speaks again. "Not really." I wing open the door to smack him but he runs down the stairs. Asshole.

If I could take back sleeping with him I would. Fucking hormones betraying me and shit. I blame the make out session with Xander because that wounded me up and I had to relieve it somehow.

I took longer than usual in the shower I don't know why but I change into sweats and a tank top.

I walk into the kitchen to see Nick placing our plates on the kitchen counter. He's also already changed.

"Did you shower?" I ask sitting down.

"Duh. You took like 30 minutes and I took 5 and still made breakfast. Seriously women qué haces ahi dentro?" I flick him off. "Also took one of your shirts. Or should I say mines considering it was." I roll my eyes at him. It's technically mine since I had it longer than he ever did.

"Yo where's the kid?" Nick asks with his mouth full of food. Men.

"Soccer practice." I say. "Started today actually." Oli's been bugging us to play soccer for a while and I didn't really want him to but cave in and he's happy about it.

"You still don't play?" Nick asks me and I shake my head. "We have to coach him." He says with a serious face making me laugh.

He starts talking about how we need to teach him everything we know so he can become the next Messi. We finally agreed to him teaching Oli and me sitting back and do nothing. Considering I haven't played soccer in like forever.

"So. Que vamos hacer hoy?" I shrug.

"Don't know. I texted the group chat and they're on their way here." I tell him while he puts the plates in the dishwasher.

"Is there any fair or carnivals happening? In the mood to go to one." He asks stuffing half a pancake in his mouth. For real. Now I'm in the mood to go to one.

I grab my phone and start searching to see if there's any. The door bell rings and Nick goes to answer it. Soon enough the girls enter the kitchen one by one except for Abby.

"There's a carnival in the town over. Who's down." I turn my chair over to look at them. They all stare at my neck with their eyes wide trying not to laugh.

"Like my masterpiece." Nick chuckles and looks at them. Jade high fives him and they all start laughing.

"Fuck off." I tell them. "Yes or no?" I say. They all agree and I text Abby telling her the plans and she agrees also.

"It's been one day and already." Jade motions to our necks and smirks. I glare at her but Nick just shrugs.

"That's fucked up." Danny starts laughing. "Fuck Nick. Why you gotta do her like that." Ass.

"You should see my back tf." He says making them laugh harder and me throwing him the closest thing next to me. Well this won't die down any time soon.

"Wait. Weren't you making out with Xander?" Sam asks. "I swear I thought y'all were gonna fuck." She says making everyone's eyes go wide. Well shit that's out.

"We were." They all gasp dramatically. "But then this Bitchass showed up." I nod to Nick. "Which part of me was glad but my woman part was like, Fuck seriously Nick!"

"Fucking cock block!" Sam and Danny yell.
"Fucking Idiot!" Jade yells.

"You guys we're just praising me and now y'all hating on me." He says acting offended.

"Yes Nick cuz you're a dumbass with bad timing!" Sam yells at him. She ain't wrong though.

"I didn't come back after being gone for A YEAR to be hated on. Okay." Nick says dramatically with a hand on his chest.

"Yeah. Yeah. Whatever." Sam brushes him off. "So Who and who is going to the carnival?" She asks.

"Just us, the usual." I tell her, I mean who else would be going?

"I invited Declan." Danny says out of the fucking blue. "And he invited James and Xander." She says looking at me. I shrug.
I stand corrected. More people are going.

"Make your move Lennon." Sam wiggles her eyebrows at me.

"Not when this dumbass is around." I throw a napkin at Nick making him give me an evil smile.

We all continue talking about the party and them occasionally making fun of my neck. Which consisted of me punching every single one of them till they left.

Decided to take Oli since he loves carnivals but of course something had to go wrong. Right after him coming home, Oli and Nick went to play soccer in the backyard. And I don't know how but Oli hurt his foot real bad, so Heidi called the doctor. It's nothing serious he just has to ice it and not put pressure on it for the rest of the day.

He was now sad he couldn't go so I drove to the store and bought him new toys to play with to cheer him up a bit. Works every time with kids.

I texted the group that we have to be ready by 4 since it's an hour drive. I rushed to my room and picked something casual to wear and did simple makeup. Obviously making sure to cover every inch of the hickies on my damn neck

An hour later Nick was honking outside. We pick up the girls and start the hour drive. After blasting music with the windows down, and people looking at us like we're crazy as we're shouting the lyrics as loud as we can. We have finally arrived.

We all make our way to the ticket booth where Ryan, Abby and Dylan we're standing in line.

We get our tickets and head inside. Declan texted Danny that they were running late so no way in hell was I waiting for them. They can just meet up with us later.

After arguing about what ride to go on first, mostly Nick was arguing and annoying everyone. They all went to the swing ride and Nick dragged me to the super shot. Yay me.

I have a fear of heights. Has that ever stopped Nick? No!

He says in order to overcome my fear I have to try. Yeah well I've been trying for the last 10 years. And every time I'm reminded why I hate heights.

Anyways after my near death experience, we go and meet up with the rest of the group.

Walking up to them I see the guys are finally here. As I make a glance at Xander I see him glaring at me.

Well what the fuck did I do now?
