BITTER HONEY !

Emilia Easton finally makes it downstairs where she is quick to spot Ollie and Kimi waiting near the entrance to the lobby. She heads there way and once she is spotted by Ollie, he sends a small wave in her direction. Feeling a bit like a burden, Emilia quickens her walking speed, so that she meets up with the duo a bit faster.

Eventually, Emilia makes it across the hotel lobby which seems to stretch on forever. Kimi laughs at her attempts to reach them faster, which Emilia responds to with a quick show of her middle finger. Ollie laughs at the two of them before reaching for Emilia once she reaches them.

Wrapping his arms around the blonde girl tightly, "Morning, Milia."

Emilia, who is startled by the unexpected hug, sends Kimi a look, which he reciprocates knowing the girl isn't much of a hugger with unknown individuals.

"Good morning," the girl stutters out, returning the hug in an awkward fashion.

Ollie notices the girl's slight discomfort and swiftly lets go with a sheepish look on his face, the boy mutters an apology. The girl is quick to reassure him that it was alright, just unexpected.

Kimi laughs, but covers it with a cough, "So, breakfast? Please, I'm like starving."

"When aren't you hungry?" Emilia asks.

"Haha, oh my god, you're so funny," the younger boy remarks sarcastically.

"Alright you two, let's go before you chop off each other's heads," Ollie intervenes.

"He's just hangry," the blonde jokes.

Kimi starts walking away towards the car at this point, "He needs food in his little baby tummy," the blonde continues earning a glare from the younger boy and a laugh from the older.

The girl follows after Kimi, looking back at Ollie, "C'mon before the baby throws a tantrum."

Ollie laughs while following the pair. As the trio approach the valet, who has pulled up the car, the blonde girl shouts out a claim to the front passenger seat. She draws a groan out of Kimi as he moves to sit in the back seat of the car. Emilia giggles as she sits in the passenger seat of the vehicle. Ollie smiles at the girl as he gets into the driver's seat, though Emilia does not see.

Ollie plugs his phone into the car to activate the carplay, he makes sure it is working before unlocking and handing his phone to the girl in the passenger seat.

"Find somewhere for breakfast, and put any music you want on," Ollie says.

"Aye, aye Captain," the blonde jokingly responds.

Kimi watches the interaction from the backseat with an odd look on his face. In the couple of months, he has come to befriend Ollie, he's come to know that the boy doesn't hand his phone off to anyone, except maybe Paul. Yet, here he was handing it off to Emi only one day into knowing her. If Kimi didn't know any better, he'd say Ollie has got a bit of a crush, maybe just an infatuation currently since they've only known each other a day.
