"Get back here you little minx!"

"I didn't mean to!"

The two adults ran around the apartment as Riley tried to get away from an upset Hailey.

"The bathroom is soaking, how does one accidentally flood a bathroom!"

"I forgot to turn the tap off and I fell asleep in the tub Hailey. It could happen to anyone"

He whined hiding behind the couch with the woman facing him on the other side. Whenever the younger moved to the left, the other would mirror them and so they were stuck int he living room.

"Flooding the bathroom is one thing, but when you opened the door the water rushed into your room and to the hallway, do you know what happened next? I fell and hit my head on the floor"

"Is that why you're going crazy right now?"

With a roar she jumped over the couch landing on top of the small male. He couldn't manage her weight and so they both fell to the ground.

They wrestled around for less than a minute until Riley had to surrender as he was much smaller and weaker than his opponent.

They laid on their backs gazing up at the marble ceiling, both panting heavily as they tried to slow their racing hearts.

"I'm sorry"

"You better be. I'm gonna have to call room service to take a look at this, they are never going to let me stay in their hotel again"

"It's not that great here anyway"

They exploded in a fit of giggles before settling down once more.

"Why don't you stay at your old house?"

"Well, my parents have always been supportive about me being a model you know that, but about a year ago they told me that I had spent enough time on it and that it was time for me to focus on my future in the company"

"Really?"

"Yes, apparently they were fine with me doing it for a while because it was something that I loved and it was impressive for me to be making money at the age of 16. They could show off to their friends and their rivals alike, but as an only child it's my responsibility to take over"

"Do you want to?"

"Not at all, but my parents have been so good to me these past few years they moved to a whole new country for me. It was hard for them because my dad had to be back and forth between both countries and eventually he had to move back permanently, but my mom decided to stay with me until I was 21 so they were apart for a few years.

I put them through a lot and I have to repay them for that, but I'm just not ready to do that yet. Anyways back to your original question, if I stay with my family then they're going to pressure me into coming back for real and I just don't want that kind of stress right now"

Riley turned on his side and hugged her.

"I'm sorry, I guess I have things a little easier than you do"

"Easier? A homophobic father, uncle and a psychotic bitch who wants to steal your man. I think we're both going through shit"

"H-he's not m-my-"

He couldn't even finish the sentence as his face burned a bright red.

"I disagree, he called again this morning didn't he"

"Friends do that too right?"

"Do you like him?"

"W-what?"
Riley sat upright immediately and she followed his movements.
