Next Generation (Book 4)

Worst Behavior

|Rory's POV|

I went back to my room to figure out what I was going to wear tonight. I didn't need to be stuck in this villa, despite how beautiful it was. I felt fine from the previous night. Hell, I didn't even need to get drunk again. I just needed to get out and do something.

As I was picking out my outfit, I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in!"

The door slowly opened and it was Kylie. She frowned.

"What are you doing?"

I scoffed.

"Oh, you thought I was joking? I'm going out tonight, with or without you guys."

She sighed and closed the door before taking a seat on the bed. She was just staring at me.

"What Kylie?"

"I should be asking you that."

"Ky..."

"Ro, what happened?"

"Everything was going fine until last night."

"Okay..."

"Talking to Bash earlier, he just..."

"He's upset."

"Yeah. I mean, I get that I had a rowdy night, but he's just..."

"I'm sure the video of the dude dancing with you probably ticked Bash off. He was real handsy. The real issue here is you your reaction to him looking out for your well-being. He doesn't want you out here being a sloppy drunk and being in control of your actions and aware of your surroundings.

"I wasn't...."

She held up her hand.

"You were a mess last night Aurora."

"That wasn't my intention."

"You got caught up in the moment, I know. Now you need to communicate and understand where he's coming from. Don't act like a brat and react to something he said that you didn't like. You know it was the truth and you know he means well. Bash loves you and sometimes the ones who love us most have to be brutally honest to get their point across."

"I was that bad?"

"Yeah, you were. I stayed with you all night just to make sure you were okay. I know you'd do it for me."

"Thank you," I whispered.

She patted the spot next to her and as I sat down she pulled me into a side hug.

"Look, if Bash did or said something that rubbed you the wrong way earlier, don't be petty, talk to him."

"I don't want to," I mumbled.

"Rory, snap out of this shit. The two of you are in a relationship. You're not going to agree on everything. He's going to piss you off sometimes and vice versa. Deal with it and not do this round about bullshit. You already know how Bash is. Florida is nothing but a couple of hours from here. You know that man will catch a flight if you start wilding out of spite."

"No he's not."

"You don't even believe what you just said. Girl, quit playing and call your man. Then we can figure out what we're doing tonight. Get your mind right first."

She got up and left me there. My phone started ringing and I saw it was Bash. I didn't answer at first, but then my phone went off again.

Hello.

Hey, baby.

I uh, was just about to call you.

Oh, really?
