I had showered washing my hair getting all the salt water out of it making sure it was okay and my body, shaving my legs and underarms. I hopped out of the shower heading right to my room where I was rummaging through everything to find an outfit for tonight.

I had gone through all the possibilities even asking Deran for help who was high and no help whatsoever. After multiple outfit changes I had settled with blue baggy jeans with a white corset top, thrown over was my brown plaid button up.

I let my hair out and dry normally before putting back on my necklace along with my rings. I shoved on my sneakers then looking at myself in the mirror, taking a deep breathe. All we were doing tonight was going to grab dinner.

"You've got this."

"Why do you look like you're about to shit your pants?" I hear and I turn to see Craig standing in the doorway.

"Is this okay? For like a catch up slash date?" I said turning to Craig who raised an eyebrow at me as he looked at me.

"You look fine."

"Fine? That's it?"

"You look great, geez." Craig says making me roll my eyes as I turned back to the mirror, "Where you headed off anyway? J finally taking you out on a date?"

"Why would J be taking me out on a date?" I said raising an eyebrow as I looked at him through the reflection of the mirror.

"Just thought you two were getting close an all."

"Like you and Nicky?" I said turning around to look at him making him give me a deadpanned look.

"She's a cool chick." He says shrugging his shoulders as he stands at the door making me snicker shaking my head.

"You know you might be messing around but with girls like her, its all or nothing. She's going to fall for you and you're not even going to bat an eye."

"And how would you know?"

"I know females Craig, I am one and I've been with plenty. And the longest relationship you've ever been with is with coke and she cost more than any woman."

"That's insulting." Craig says looking at me and I smiled sweetly at him as I picked up my phone from my bed then walking up to him.

"Am I wrong though?" I said tilting my head looking at him, I didn't give him a chance to answer when I kissed him on the cheek and left my room. I left the house with no sign of Smurf anywhere which was easier than I thought.

I got to my car making sure everything was cleaned and nothing was on the floor before I drove to the hotel. I pulled up to the hotel and I got out of the car, texting her I was out front she said she was going to be five minutes. While I waited I took a smoke out, looking around before my eyes landed on her.

She walks out and I couldn't help but look her over, she wore plaid pants and a brown cropped vest that had a white shirt underneath. Her hair was out one side was on her shoulder and the other laying against her back, she had blonde hair you could see her roots but it blended well together.

Last time I had seen her she had black hair and a lip piercing, this time she was different. She had grown up but still looked beautiful as ever. She gets closer to me and she has a smile on her face as I turned my body to her.

"Still smoking? That hasn't changed." She says and I chuckled shrugging my shoulders.

"Old habits die hard. But I guess you wouldn't know that huh athlete?" I said fake pouting at her making her roll her eyes, she grabs the smoke from my hands taking in a puff easily staring at me dead in the eyes before blowing it out, "Show off."
