Emily's POV

Hours later....

I heard a faint knock at the hotel door and I instantly knew it was Jace. He's the only one with the big aggressive hands.

I ran to the door and let him in even though he was hours late.

"Nice bikini," he grinned.

"Mhm, nice.... what happened to your hand?" I asked, grabbing it.

"Don't- it's fine," he snatched away.

"Is that blood?"

"Nah, just ketchup," he lied.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed his hand, leading him to the bathroom. Once we were in better lighting I realized he also had a scratch on his face that was also bleeding.

"What happened? Did you get into a fight?"

"What's it look like?" he mugged.

I got a clean towel and wet it with warm water. Once I rinsed it out, I dapped at Jace's hands even though he was a bit resistant.

"You don't have to," he sighed.

"It's fine. Are you okay?"

"I won," he grinned.

"Yeah I got that from your knuckles. Is the other guy okay?"

"I think you mean the other guys."

"Jace," I said, dapping at the scar of his face.

"They'll live," he shrugged.

"Should I even ask?"

"Nope. Don't be nosey."

With that, I finished cleaning off his hands and face as good as I could and we headed out to the pool which was on the roof!

"Gonna jump in with me?" I beamed.

"Fuck no, I'll be over there," he pointed to the lounge chairs.

I kind of got mad even though I knew he wasn't going to get in. I stepped in, testing the water before I dove in, It actually felt nice going under and not thinking about anything.

Just what I needed..

2 hours later.....

I swam to the other side where Jace was laying beside the pool, gazing at the.... stars?

"How's it going?" he grinned.

"I wish you would get in," I huffed.

"Nope, I told you I don't do swimming."

"Why? You don't do a lot of things, why?"

"Just don't," he shrugged.

"Well," I sighed.

"E I know you want something," he chuckled, "What is it?"

"What if I wanted you?" I smiled.

"What?"

"In the pool with me.." I laughed.

"Very funny."

"No but seriously, have some fun."
