The boys are shocked, to say the least. A couple seem concerned, but Gabriel eases their worries by saying it was just time for a change, that he didn't want to have the same hairstyle for the rest of his life, and wanted to experiment while he was still young.

"You probably couldn't handle the long hair anymore. That was it, wasn't it?" Luke jests.

"No, not at all actually. I was just sick of looking like a homeless man," Meanie quips, getting a jab at his best friend. And like the mature boy that he is, Luke flips Gabriel off.

"Besides, Sang thinks it's sexy. Don't you, Trouble?" he croons.

I nod emphatically. "So sexy. It works with the whole masculine, but creative image he carries." I meet Gabriel's eyes as he smirks, losing my breath a little. "So...much...man," I mutter absentmindedly. He chuckles.

"Okay, Cupcake!" Luke breaks me out of my reverie. "Why don't we let these three loons get their massages, and the three of us will get ourselves into trouble. Whaddya say?"

"Oy! She is trouble. No need to go fucking find it," Gabriel protested.

Owen speaks up, "While you were getting your massages, Sean and I wandered around and we found a nice little bookstore. Why don't you go check it out? Find something for the road or the trip," he suggests.

Ooh! A bookstore? "That sounds wonderful! Luke, Victor! Let's go look."

We start to walk away but I turn around and grab Gabriel's attention. I notice the three boys hadn't moved an inch, and catching them unexpectedly, I saw that they had been watching my behind. I grin to myself; dirty boys. Sean and Owen have no shame as they smirk, meanwhile Meanie looks contrite.

"Meanie? Can I get a picture of you with your new hair?"

He wipes the sheepish look from his face and says, "Fuck, of course!" He poses a little as I snap a couple photos with my phone. "Okay, let's get one together, now." He takes my phone from my hand and squishes our cheeks together, positioning the camera. He snaps one, then shifts and takes another one as he quickly licks my temple.

"Eeee!" I squeal. "Meanie!" I laugh. I don't think my makeup tastes that good, I giggle to myself.

"Watch it, Pookie," Sean warns.

Gabriel chuckles. "Just don't send those pictures to anyone yet. I want to see their reactions." He winks. "Have fun, Trouble. Find a good book." I say I will and we part ways.

I go to my photos and choose one of Gabriel's new pictures to make his contact photo. I decide on one of just him.

When the image is set, I open the messaging app and text Nathan:

Sang: Is your bedding okay? I'm sorry about that. : (

I get a reply almost instantly.

Nathan: It's been taken care of, Peanut. Don't worry about it.

Sang: Okay. I just wanted to make sure.

Nathan: My bedding is fine : ) xo

Sang: Love you xo

Nathan: Back atcha ; )

I put my phone away and grabbed my boys' hands.

"Where is this bookshop?" I ask. I'm not sure I heard Owen say.
