Chapter 45

Renny's Pov.

"Goodnight whores." Mick said as he walked to his room and I hummed, Shi flipping him off.

I stayed at my place tonight. By myself. Harry's not here. I felt I needed to stay here considering I leave with him for Vegas in the morning and I haven't been here much.

Shi and I kept watching Gossip Girl, him and Mick still haven't finished the series.

"So...how long will you be in Vegas?" He asked me randomly and I looked over at him. "A few days, not long. Just tomorrow, Friday and Saturday. We leave Sunday." I clarified and he nodded slowly.

"And you feel like this is a good idea?"

I could tell he was being genuine so I didn't let myself get defensive over his question.

"Yeah...why not?" "I mean...that's the farthest you've gone before. You don't know anyone out there but him. What if something happens and you need us?"

My heart hurt a little at his words. Not in a bad way necessarily but not in a good way either.

"If I need you, you'll be there right?" "Well yeah Ren but...I just feel like being out there by yourself is just not the best idea. Vegas is wild. I don't want you getting anywhere that could lead to...a bad time."

I knew with the look in his eye what he meant.

"It won't Shi. I promise."

He slowly nodded but looked a little annoyed.

"Does he know?" He suddenly asked and I just cleared my throat, focusing back on the tv. "No."

"I figured he didn't."

It's not that I don't want to tell him about it but it's just — people look at you differently after finding that kind of information out. That's why Shi and I never speak on it. Everyone else around us, meaning the roommates and Cyril, know but that's it. We don't speak of it. It happened and now it's over.

I'd like to think we came out better than before.

"We're in this together remember? I wouldn't fuck up, not at the sake of you. I don't even want to at all. I haven't wanted to in a really long time." I admitted and he nodded with a little smile. "Good. Me neither."

I smiled and playfully kicked his side.

"Are you sleeping in here?" I asked and he shrugged. "Probably not." "I think I will." I told him and he nodded.

After a while, he was still invested in Gossip Girl but I laid down more into the side of the couch I was on and got comfy.
