I awoke to something soft tickling my face. I open my eyes and stare into a semi open mouth-Devin's mouth. I wrinkle my nose at her foul breath. But then I check mine and gag a little. I roll out of bed and take a hot shower, yesterday's dinner runs through my mind. I was still mad about Zachary or whatever his real name was-being so close to Devin. I hated the fact that Bear knew all the right questions to ask me to catch me off guard. Why was Devin asking all those questions? She's never asked me about it, or maybe she did and I shot her down? Whatever her reasoning for asking, I did not enjoy it. But thankfully Blade knew all the right things to say and our secret is still safe.

I threw on some gray sweatpants and a white t-shirt. Blade had texted me last night saying that we wouldn't need me for a while. I was glad because after last night, I don't think I could face him right now. I head out into the living and flip on the T.V and start watching the news, then I glance at the clock, it's 7:30, for once I didn't sleep in. Soon I heard slippers padding on the floor, I looked up to see Devin walking towards me still half asleep. She sat down next to me and then she laid down with her head in my lap. I played with hair by looping it around my finger, then I combed it back from her face. She was asleep again in seconds. I placed my arm down her side and let my hand sit on her butt. My eyes became sleepy too, so I shut off the T.V lifted her head off of my and scooted down, then I put my back against the cushions and positioned her against my chest. Then I too fell asleep again.

(Devin)

I rolled over in the bed but ended up landing on the ground. I was confused as to why the floor was soft and not hard. Opening my eyes, the color brown invaded my space. I pulled my head away and saw that I was on the living room floor.

"You okay?" I looked up and saw Thomas staring at me from the couch.

"Uh yeah, I'm fine. How did I get here?"

"The couch?" I nod my head yes. "You came out, half a sleep and then you laid down and fell asleep."

"Oh. I guess I was just tired from all the activities yesterday."

"Same here. So what do you want to do today?"

"I don't know. I'll think about it as I get dressed." I smile at him and push myself up and head into my room. Being this nice to him was hard. I was so scared out of my mind yesterday being that close to his "dad." I don't know why. Maybe that's what was bothering me, something was very off about this man, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I honestly didn't want to be around Thomas, the more I thought about all he did or is doing, the more I became scared of him. I changed into black leggings and a maroon sweater. I threw my hair up in a ponytail as I was too lazy to shower. I was heading out of my room when my sister called me

"Hello?"

"Hey girl! How are you?"

"Fine and you?"

"I'm doing well, I just wanted to update you about the party." She said a little nervously.

"Oh, what about it?" I reply walking out to the living room. Thomas was now in the kitchen making coffee.

"Well, it's at Diego's house."

"Diego's house? I thought you guys were moved into ours." I reply sitting down on the couch cross-legged.

"We are. His house is our vacation house. He still pays the rent on it so that we can use it."

"Oh. And where exactly is this house?"

"Hawaii."

"HAWAII! Oh my gosh!" I reply shrieking . I see Thomas's head shoot up. I smile at him apologetically. He just nods his head.

"I know. We're super excited because we will have one day here to do snow things and then we'll go up before Christmas day and do the party then."

"So your okay if we come tomorrow"

"Yes, that fine! Then we'll all leave the 24th and be up there before Christmas day."

"When is the party though?"

"Well, here's the thing. The party is actually going to be when we get married."

"Oh. um, that will be cool." I replied trying not to sound sad. I didn't want to wait that long for them to get married. I thought that it would be cool for them to be married and host it as their first couple thing but you know what I should be happy for her.

"I know we're really excited. So we're going to get married early in the morning, and then have the reception at night. Mainly so that you don't have to wear your bridesmaid dress for the whole day."

"Thanks. That's actually good thinking because I have a new dress just for Christmas."

"I can't wait to see it. Oh I got to go, my planner is calling me. Love ya sis." With that the line went dead. I sunk back into the cushions.

"What's up?" Thomas asked me, handing me a steaming mug.

"My sister is what's up." I reply, blowing on the coffee to cool it down.

"Oh?"

"Yeah, you know that party that they are hosting?"

"Yeah, I remember you mentioning it."

"Well, they are doing their wedding on that day. They are using the party guest as wedding guests."

"Is that bad?" He asks, taking a sip.

"I mean no, I just find it strange I guess. I was hoping that they would host dinner as a couple."

"I'm sure everything will work out."

"I suppose." I reply with a sigh. Several minutes go by, then.

"So, I thought we could stay in, play games and read by the fire."

"Sure. That sounds lovely." The day came and went peacefully. I climbed into bed, ready to pack tomorrow for Lyrics house and then for Hawaii.
