Never Saw This Coming

Last Day in Cali.

May 29th
TW: mention of suic*de

I woke up this morning, almost panicking when I didn't feel Maddy in bed next to me. That is until I remembered that she volunteered to wake up extra early and go pick up a cake from the bakery. Since we were home alone yesterday, we used that opportunity to have sex in comfort. No roommates around to hear. We went on a little too long and by the time we were done, the bakery was closed.

Since today is Rhys' 21st birthday, we're driving down to Los Angeles and spending the day at the beach with him. He's originally from Cali so he loves to surf. The beaches in L.A. are better than those in Oak Hill. He stayed out kind of late last night so we told him we'd wake him up at 6 so we can get on the road earlier. We're spending the night there since the three of us have flights tomorrow. Maddy and I are going to New York and Rhys is joining Cgc in New Orleans.

Maddy just got back from the bakery and she takes the small white frosted cake out of the box. She swipes her finger through it and licks the icing off of it. That was. . .

"Ready?" she asks. I push all of the dirty thoughts I have of her to the back of my head. "Uh, yeah, let's do it." I lean in to grab the cake but she stops me. "I want to do it," she says, picking up the cake herself. I furrow my brows at her. "Really?" She nods quickly and then starts walking up the stairs. I don't argue with her just because I know if she does it, Rhys can't get mad. I pull out my phone and start recording.

Both Cgc and Valdez texted me yesterday and told me I better send them a video since they're both not here to see. I mistakenly record my girlfriend's ass for too long. "Shit, hold on," I whisper as we reach Rhys' door. I hold the phone in front of me and start another video. "Okay, go," I whisper. Maddy opens the door slowly and before either of them can process, Rhys is already standing behind his door, cake in hand. As soon as the door is open wide enough, he slams the cake right in Maddy's face. I stumble back, Maddy's feet making my own, trip.

My mouth gapes open and I forget that I'm still recording. When Rhys notices who he just caked, fear swims in his blue eyes. He was probably thinking I was going to be the one who would smash the cake in his face, not Maddy. Maddy stands there, pink frosting all over her face and hair that she's unnoticeable. "Maddy. . ." Rhys says. She swipes cake frosting off her eyes and it splotches onto the ground. I just notice that she never lost grip of the cake in her hand.

Rhys sees the cake and tries to run into his room, but she yanks him by the hair and shoves the cake in his face. I record that and then end the video quickly. I choke back laughter as Rhys falls back into his bed, hair, and face full of frosting. Maddy picks up the remainder of the cake he threw at her on the floor and flings frosting at him. "I"m sorry, I thought you were Xander!" Rhys yells, trying to block the frosting with his hands.

I stay by the door, avoiding any type of frosting being flung. Once she's out of frosting, she uses her hands against him and pinches his nipples. Rhys winces. "Xan, get your girl!" he says. Maddy shoots her head towards me and I tuck my lips back to hold in my laughter. She glares at me, her eyes noticeable from the lack of frosting on them. I hold my hands up in defense and with that, she turns back and smacks Rhy's bare chest. "Ow!"

I walk into the room and grab Maddy's hand, "Alright, alright! It's still his birthday, babe," I remind her. "He smashed a cake in my face!" she argues. I look at Rhys who sits on the bed and push his head back with some force. "What the hell, man!?" he says. "You smashed a cake in my girl's face," I shrug. Maddy flips him off and he rolls his eyes. "Okay, calm down. Both of you need to shower and fast, we have to get to LA in time for when the beach opens," I remind them. Rhys rushes out of the room first. "I call Valdez's shower!" he says from the hallway.
