"Ok so what are we doing first?"
"Roller coasters. Duh." Keyera said.
"You know Kali doesn't like rollercoasters."
"Fine, then I'll go by myself." Keyera said walking towards the superman
"Isaiah. You like rollercoasters. Why don't you go with her. I can hold you guys' bags." I didn't like the idea of Isaiah not doing the things he likes because of me. It kind of made me feel like a liability.
"I'm not going to leave you alone. Besides, I didn't want to get on any anyways. The first thing I want to do is the lazy river."
"Ouu me too."
"Then let's go.'

The day had been going by well. We were currently at the wave pool and I wanted to grab some Ice cream. Keyera had been in the wave pool, nearly drowning every time a wave came, and Isaiah had been laughing at her. As I had been waiting in line, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I knew it wasn't any of my friends.
"Mind if I pay mate?"
Recognizing that voice, I quickly turn around and nearly yell out his name.
"Felix!! What are you doing here?"
" Well, I wanted to see you. I was hoping to surprise you. It took me nearly all day. I remembered you said you did like rollercoasters, so I tried here. Luckily I found you."
We were next in line so I ordered my ice cream, only to have Felix order his as well and ay for us both.
~Keyera
I had been making my way to Isaiah and Kali, but instead of Kali being with Isaiah, she had been over at the ice cream stall, talking to some guy. Unfortunately, I had not been the only one who realized.
"Wanna go see who that is?" I asked Isaiah, trying to get a good look at the guy.
"No. Let her be." He said calmly. That is maturity right there. However, I wanted to know, so I began to run in her direction, running through crowds of people. However, once I reached her. she had already been walking in this direction and the guy was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey. Is everything alright?" Kali asked as she approached me.
"Who was that?"
"Why?"
"I just wanted to know."
"It was just a friend. who happened to be here." Kali said then walked off. This time I could tell she was a bit a bit agitated.
~Kali
Why won't she just... lay off. I'm not a kid so she doesn't need to hover over me, worried about who I talk to and who I'm seeing.
Once I reached Isaiah, he had been standing up with his and I's bags.
"What's wrong?" He asked sounding concerned.
"Nothing."
"Tell me."
"It's nothing."
"Ok. Well, it's getting late. Are you ready?"
"Yea. Thanks again, Isaiah.

Once we dropped Keyera off, Isaiah began to talk to me.
"Alright. You ready to go home?"
"Do you mind if I come over your place."
"Not at all. You have clothes there so you should be good."
"Ok. Thank you."
"No problem baby."
When we got to Isaiah's apartment, we both took showers then ate some food. As we were eating, Isaiah looked at me and I could tell he wanted to say something.
"Are you ready to tell me why you were upset?" He asked, putting his fork down.
"It's Keyera. Why does she have to hover over me like that?"
He then sighed.
"I told her to let you be. you aren't a baby, but you are my baby. We both care for you and you know we are protective of you. But you are a young adult. We just have to respect that."
"Thank you for understanding. I just want her to understand that."
"Ill talk to her. Come on. Let's get some rest. we have to open the store tomorrow morning."
After we cleaned up, we headed to his room and got ready for bed. As we had been laying in bed, I looked over to see him on his phone. I felt bad hiding things from them. I really do. Especially cause he never hides anything, no matter what, from me. Never.
"It's Felix."
"What?"
"I've been talking to Felix. That's who I saw today."
He didnt say anything. Instead, he went silent.
"He asked that I kept our conversation and everything between me and him because he didn't want anyone to know who he had been talking to. He said that if his company found out, he could get in trouble. "
"Do you like him?"
"No. Not at all. We are just friends."
"Oh ok. Well... I'm glad you told me. But you didn't have to. It's ok to keep some things to yourself."
"Well, you tell me everything. Isaiah, you have never kept a secret from me."
"Get some rest, baby." He said smiling at me.
For as long as I can remember, Isaiah has always called me baby. I liked it because it was exclusive. Only for me.
