"Goodnight, mom" Reese said, I smiled and reached for him, he fell into my arms and hugged me. "Goodnight, love you" I said to him.

"Love you too" he said before letting me go, he skipped back inside the hotel room he didn't bother closing the door behind him, at first I didn't know why. That was until Felix stepped out onto the balcony with me.

I furrowed my eyes when I saw him, he closed the door behind him as he came outside. "What are you doing?" I asked him, he shrugged as he took the seat beside of me. "I guess chilling outside" he replied. I looked him up and down, he didn't wear a shirt, just pajama pants, it's something that I had to get used to, being in a hotel room with a bunch of grown men who like to chill shirtless.

His skin shines in the moonlight, I wish I could just run my fingertips over every inch of his torso. I shook my head and turned away from him.

He reached in his pocket and pulled out a joint and a lighter. I rolled my eyes "Are you serious?" I asked him.

"Shut up" he said, I glared at him, I hate when men tell me to shut my mouth. He placed the joint between his lips and covered the flame with his hand so he could light it.

He took a big puff before taking the joint from his lips, he blew the smelly mist out and handed me the joint.

"No" I shook my head.

"Why, you worried you're going to jump me again like last time" he referred to the night he took me and Reese and kept us in a hotel, we smoked a joint together then I ended up jumping him only minutes later, he ended up winning.

He smirked when he saw the sour expression on my face. I grabbed the joint from his hand and took me a big puff. I handed him the joint back, I could feel his eyes on me, he still had that annoying smirk on his face.

"Come on nuna, lighten up" he said, I squinted my eyes at him. He took another puff and slowly blew the smoke from his mouth.

I glanced at his wrist and noticed he was wearing the charm bracelet I got him. I smiled and looked down but didn't say anything.

"We could've picked a better place to stay, he said as he looked at the beautiful view before us, he seemed unamused. "What do you mean, I think it's beautiful" I said, he shrugged.

"It'd be nice if there was an ocean to look at" he replied.

"I guess you grew up on beaches?" I asked him.

"You could say that" he said, I smiled and looked out at the city lights. "You ever been to the beach before?" He asked me. I shook my head and looked down "I could never afford to" I replied.

He stared at me for a few moments but didn't say anything. "You could tell me, what it's like" I told him, trying to lighten the mood.

"Nah, I wouldn't want to rub it in your face or anything" he said sarcastically, he smiled when I glared at him. I laughed and slapped his arms "Asshole" I said.

He laughed and tried to hand me the joint again but I shook my head. "It doesn't take a lot to get me high" I laughed as I told him. He took another puff form it before putting it out and stuffing it back in his pocket.
