we all sat around a weird looking table at this restaurant that i didn't exactly catch the name of. all i knew was they served vegan pizza and that's all i needed to know.

"hannah can you walk outside with me?" grayson asked from across the table, hannah was sitting next to me. she nodded, pulling the napkin off of her lap and placing it on the table as she stood up.

yeah there is definitely something going on there. now it was just the three of us once again, only ethan looked like he wasn't even in the room, i wonder what he was thinking about.

"so ethan what's that girls name?" i asked, breaking the awkward silence.

he raised his eyebrows but then played it off as nothing, shaking his head, "i don't know, i was just looking for a bathroom." he explained, taking a bite into a bread stick.

bryant was too busy looking through his camera to take apart in the conversation, he was sitting next to me on the other side, showing me a few pictures here and there. he's so talented it's insane.

then a phone rang, assuming it was mine by reflex i looked down at my phone that was in my pocket, quickly realizing it wasn't mine.

ethan answered his phone, bringing it up to his ear. "no dude i'm on vacation."

"i can't get it to you right now, i'll do it after."

"yes i will."

"well i fell asleep."

"this isn't my problem. fly back to la and get it."

he hung up his phone, now in a pissy mood i can tell. "who was that?" i asked, i had my assumptions but i just was asking out of curiosity.

"aaron, he won't stop nagging me to get him that fucking bag it's so annoying." he told us, rolling his eyes as the worlds left his mouth.

i nodded, understanding what he was saying, "maybe you should've just did it when he asked." i tell him, not seeing the big deal.

"yeah."

great! now it isn't awkward at all. where did hannah and grayson go?

i ask hannah to walk outside with me because i wanted to talk to her about something she told me in the pool earlier.

well actually it was really something that happened once i walked out of the bathroom doors in our hotel, it's like i saw hannah as a different person all of a sudden. not just as a friend anymore.

"did something happen?" she asked as we stepped foot outside of the restaurant. i couldn't stop anxiously playing with my hands.

"no, sorry if i scared you." i replied as we walked over to a bench.

"you know how we had that whole talk about us just being friends and not wanting anything from each other.." i start, hannah nodding like she wanted me to keep talking.

"well i think it was too soon for that."

she raised her right eyebrow, confused at what i was getting at. but we were practically flirting and all over each other today so could she really be that surprised?

"i just mean like, we barley knew each other and i think we said no before there was an opportunity to say yes."

someone call me shakespeare tbh.

she nodded, but i still could tell she didn't really understand what i was trying to tell her.

"what're you trying to say?" she asked, so i was right! i'm literally a genius einstein can't compete!!

"i just think that we should give it a try." i told her. her breathing in sharply and exhaling before her eyes pinning directly on to mine. it felt like my eyes softened, is that even possible?

before she could say anything else i leaned in and cupped her jaw, kissing her hard.

her hands raised to wrap around my wrists as we kissed, before i could pull away from her.

she rolled her eyes playfully, "you're lucky you're such a great kisser." she teased, standing up.

"you aren't that bad yourself."

she punched my shoulder before we walked back inside like nothing happened.

hannah and grayson walked back inside after like ten minutes had passed, i finished my pizza and drink, everyone else was still eating. but that's only because they wouldn't get off their phones for one minute.

"what was that about?" ethan asked grayson, referring to going outside with hannah.

"i was asking her about a surprise for you!" he replied, it was obvious he was being sarcastic by the look on his face. raised eyebrows, eyes widened.

ethan raised his glass of water up to his lips and drank all that was left in it, raising his hand into the air obnoxiously for the waiter to get him more i guess.

our regular person for the night didn't come up, but a hot girl did. damn what's in the water here and where do i soak myself in it?

"took you long enough, can you get me more water, like now?" he asked her rudely, damn someone's on his period! is this because of me?

she laughed at him, "look i follow the customers always right rule but if you don't grow some manners to go along with that rich, pretty boy face someone's gonna not give a fuck about getting sued by daddy's lawyers and mess it up for you."

his eyes widened, surprised at the reaction the girl just gave him, her going to grab the glass that was in front of him. but then he took ahold of her wrist? what's wrong with him?

they both gave each other dirty looks, but then something else was happening. they were stealing glances at one another's lips.

no.

i'm not doing this.

i'm simply not the jealous type, i'm just mad because he's only doing this to get at me. not because whoever she is makes me jealous.

i stood up from the table and grabbed hannah's arm, pulling her away from the table with me. i needed to talk to her before my head exploded with thoughts.

as we walked to the bathroom i turned to see what was going on. but all i saw was grayson punching ethan in the chest as the waiter walked away, and now it looked like they were arguing about something.

but then i turned back, as we walked into the bathroom.

"well duty calls i guess, haha get it cause we're in a-"

i cut her off with a fake laugh, not to be mean but wanting to get to the point of why i brought her in here, but she couldn't stop smiling. what was she so happy about?

"can we go back to the air bnb early? i just can't be around ethan right now and i know it's selfish of me to ask you to-"

"yeah i was getting sick of the fish smell of this place anyway."

i sighed in relief, as we left the bathroom ethan was standing by the bar, talking to the waitress from a couple minutes ago.

wait.

i was in the bathroom, so is he even doing it to make me jealous?

that's when anger rushed through my veins, walking back to the table and grabbing my phone along with my wallet, waiting for hannah to get hers.

"where are you guys going?" grayson asked, standing up like he was coming with.

"i need to get out of here." i tell him. i'm one hundred percent sure he knew the reason why.

"i'll beat his ass for you emma."

i laughed, "thanks gray."
