I'm so awkward. We're all sitting around a table at a restaurant to get breakfast, but I can only think about what happened last night between Sean and I. In bed. I'm not awkward around him, I'm just awkward around the guys because I don't know if he's told them. Of course not, why would he tell them about what we do in our privacy?

"Ainsley," Mitch says. Oh no. Was I moaning too loud? Shit, shit! Okay, compose yourself.

"Yes?" My voice sounds way too high. I clear my throat and answer again, "Yes?"

"I saw you guys last night."

"Saw us..?"

"On the stream. Remember, you streamed?" He laughs. I smile and laugh with him. I'm making it way too obvious, aren't I?

"Didn't see your donation though." Sean comments. I silently thank him for taking the conversation.

"I was going to donate, but I could've just handed you guys the money." He shrugs. The conversation subsides as the waitress brings our food. I got waffles with a fruit parfait and french toast on the side. I don't know what the others got, but it all looked really good.

I finish eating most of my food, and the guys are all waiting on me to finish. They all give me a death stare for a few minutes before laughing it off.

"Why are you so quiet and awkward today, Ains?" Alex asks, folding his hands on the table. I quickly stuff some food in my mouth and shrug.

Sean puts a hand on my thigh and looks at me. He mouths to me 'Calm down'. Ah, if only it were that easy.

"I'm just observing." I answer as calmly and coolly as I can.

"Oh, so now you take the time to observe." Liam chuckles.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask, eating another bite of my waffle. I'm calming down a bit now.

"I mean that we're all waiting on you, and you're still eating and 'observing.'" He puts air quotes as he says the word observing. The guys laugh, but I still don't understand.

"I'm finished." I comment, pushing the plates away from me.

"Finally!" Mitch says, waving his hands in the air. I roll my eyes and step out of the booth. I pull out my waet to pay for my food, but Alex stops me.

"I'll pay for everyone." He smiles, pulling out enough for all of us and a large tip for the waitress.

We leave the restaurant and walk around the town. We take selfies and goof around in shops, and we get chased out of one by the owner. My awkwardness disappeared, and I was finally being myself.

We stay in town all day, and around nine thirty, we decide to go to a club to have fun.

The music is insanely loud, but everyone is dancing and moving to the beat. The nights only just begun, and there's already well over one hundred people here. Good thing it's a large club. I order a drink for myself, and Sean orders one for him--a non-alcoholic drink, of course. Liam is dancing with a random girl, Mitch is making out with one in the corner, and Alex is hanging out at the bar a few seats down from us, talking to girls. I watch everyone having fun, and a girl comes over and sits right beside Sean. I try not to notice.

"Hey, sexy." She coos. Her voice is already annoying me. I turn my head to see what she's doing, but I don't look directly at them. I act like I'm watching Alex. "Wanna have some fun?" She winks, gently feeling him.

"He's with me." I snap suddenly. Seeing her all over him made something inside of me boil. She rolls her eyes.

"Yeah, because he would be with someone like you." She scoffs, then begins to kiss his cheek seductively.

He nudges her away from him. "I'm with her."

"You could do so much better." She crosses her arms. "You could have me. Plus, she's not even pretty."

"Why, because I don't dress like a slut? At least I have enough sense to cover my ass before walking around." I roll my eyes. She huffs and walks away, obviously offended.

"You told her." He smirks, looking at me. We don't really talk much because I'm too busy downing drinks.

"Sean." I turn to face him. "You need to try a drink." I tell him, then turn and tell the bartender to get me a beer. He hands it to me, and I take a swig. "It's not even the hard stuff. Try it."

"I don't really want too, Ainsley." He shrugs.

"Dude, just try it. If you don't like it, don't drink it." I offer it to him again. He shakes his head. "Just try it!" I groan. I'm really bossy when I'm drunk, apparently. Either emotional or bossy. He finally gives in and takes it, and he ends up drinking more and more. He eventually gets something harder. And we're now both wasted.

He drags me onto the dance floor where we dance our cares away.

I get tired, so I sit on a couch and watch everyone. I watch as Liam and a girl come out of the bathroom. "Get some, Liam!" I yell across the club, and he laughs. We all know what happened in that bathroom, no sense in hiding it. And he was sober.

By the end of the night, everyone except Liam is drunk. We act like idiots all the way home, Liam trying to control us but not succeeding.

As soon as I get home, I pass out on the couch. Sean is nice enough to cover me up before he goes too bed. He's sweet, even when he's drunk.
