I sat up and looked around, "Felix?" I called out.
"Yeah?" He said appearing from the bathroom with a toothbrush in his hand..
"What time is it?" I asked looking around just to see Harmony nowhere to be found plus a broken alarm clock on the floor.
"About lunch time" he said shrugging, he acted like nothing had happened this morning, like he hadn't opened up to me just last night.
I nodded my head and got up, I pushed Felix out of the bathroom. He banged on the door, "Piper!!" He screamed. I giggled, clearly ignoring him, I took a quick shower. Half way through my shower the knocking on the door stopped.
"Felix?" I called out, I heard no answer. I shrugged and started drying. Felix busted open the door. "Felix!" I screamed wrapping the towel around me.
"What?" He said innocently. He closed the door, staying on this side. "Do you mind?" I asked
"Not at all" He said, "I enjoy the view" I tightened the towel around me.
"Shut up pervert" I said pushing him. He pinned me against the wall and kissed my nose. I scrunched my nose up, "Quit" I said
"What do you want to do today?" he asked kissing my nose again. I shrugged.
"Let me get dressed and then we will figure something out okay?" I asked
"Sure, I'm taking a shower" He said, I rolled my eyes figuring he was just joking.
Felix slipped out of his clothes, I covered my eyes it wasn't until I heard the water running and a curtain being pulled closed that I opened them again.
I dried off figuring he couldn't see me. I changed into my sheer black tights, black skirt, white sweater and black scarf.
I blow dried my hair, once I finished I turned around to leave. I guess I didn't notice that the water had stopped. "Very nice view" Felix said leaning against the shower wall. I growled and walked out of the bathroom, not before sending him the bird.
He laughed at me, "Feisty"
I sat on the bed and waited for him to come out, finally he did. "What do you want to do?" I asked turning off the TV.
"I don't know? What can we do here?" He asked
"Beats me, where’s Valentine?" I asked
"At home with my Grandma" He said
"Let's go home" I said suddenly, he stared at me.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean let’s go home. To your home" I said sitting in front of him, "it would be a great surprise for Valentine! And besides, you can't even speak French!"
He thought about it for a while. "Well....Alright" He said slowly. I squealed and tackled him to the ground. We landed with a thud, Harmony came and stood in the doorway. I kissed his cheek not realizing she was there.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" I squealed, "This will be so much fun!" Harmony cleared her throat.
"Hi" I said sitting up on Felix's chest. I heard him huff out a sigh.
"Puppy love" She mumbled.

I packed up our bags while Romain kept whining. Felix looked like he was about to strangle him. "Shut up" Felix sneered, I looked up from the suitcase. Felix sat beside the suitcase on the bed, I touched his knee. He looked over at me, "Down boy" I mouthed, he opened his mouth to protest. I glared at him, slowly he closed his mouth.
I smiled. "Just ship Felix off" Romain said, "And stay here with me baby" He wrapped his arms around me, even though Felix was sitting right there. I pushed him off me and folded my clothes.
"Come on" He whispered loud enough for Felix to hear. "We could replay last year all over again" Felix neck flushed red.
"What happened last year?" Felix growled
"Oh well" Romain said winking at him, that was it for Felix. Felix jumped off the bed and threw Romain away from me. I closed my eyes when I heard a fist contacting with a face. I prayed that it wasn't Romain who had punched Felix. I blinked my eyes open and looked at Felix who had now pinned down Romain and was threatening him with everything under the sun.
"Get off him, Felix" I said crossing my arms across my chest.
"He should just back off" Felix sneered standing up, clearly pissed that I had taken Romain's side even when I hadn't. Romain stood up holding his nose, he snuck out of the room and went to the Lobby of the hotel to see if he could get any help.
I glared at Felix while finishing up the suitcase, he went and got our passports ignoring my glares. Harmony came out with her bags, we gathered everything and waited for the Taxi that we called to come.
~.~
I sat down on the plane beside Felix, Harmony sat in front of us. I curled into him, once we had taken off. He wrapped his arms around me and snuggled me into him. I sighed and closed my eyes, falling asleep quickly.
"Babe, Wake up" Felix whispered shaking me lightly. I groaned and cuddled into his chest. "If you don't wake up I'm pouring cold water on your head" I bounced up and rubbed the sleep from my eyes.
"Shut up" I mumbled when he laughed at me. I stood up and grabbed my bags, I hurried off the plane.
Once off I looked around for Harmony, she must have left with her family already. I sighed and looked over at Felix, he held our bags. "Let’s go home' He said holding his hand out to me, I grabbed the bag from it.
We walked out and got a cab, he slipped his hand in mine once we were sitting in the backseat. I leaned down against him.
"Here you are" The cab driver said right as I was falling asleep. Felix shoved me out, he chuckled knowing very well that I was about to sleep.
We walked up the steps with our bags in hand. "Grandma, I got someone I'd like you to meet!" A fragile looking old lady came around the corner... with a brunette girl.
"Babe!" The brunette said holding her arms out to him. "Welcome home! I missed you so much" Felix looked down at me, I stepped away from him shaking my head.
"Seriously?" I said turning around, in front of me stood Valentine. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door.
She ran me down to the park, she wrapped her little arms around me and hugged me to her. "Should I explain?" She asked, I couldn't talk. Just seeing that girl, wondering what happened between them...what they might have done.
Her little arms tightened around me, I thought about how she had called him baby and babe, how he hadn't said anything but looked at me.
He didn't say anything....just looked at me.... why?
