CLINTON'S POV

Tonight is our flight back to Texas and I'm not ready to leave yet. We had too much fun and memories here and I don't ever want to go anywhere else.

"Clinton here is trying to find a house," dad bragged about it with his friends. Cassie beamed at me and Wilson looked at me like I'm out of my mind. Speaking of Wilson, I haven't seen Nastasia much through this trip, but whatever. 

"You are?" My best friend said and I smirked, shrugging. Why is it a surprise that I might be getting a house? Am I that irresponsible? 

"Clinton, sweetie, you know you can stay with us as long as you want," mom said and I pressed my lips in a thin line. No. I'm not a little boy who cries to mommy whenever something happens. I'm a grown man now. 

"I need my own house mom," I said and she looked at me with curious eyes. 

"Since when did you need your own house?" She asked, popping a hand on her hip. Since I got a girlfriend. 

"What're you guys talking about?" Alex walked downstairs and poured herself a cup of orange juice.

"Your brother getting a house," mom moved her attention to her and she smirked. 

"Since I turned 18," I said.

"Really?" Mom wasn't convinced and Alex's eyes lit up.

"Oh! Cause he's with Cassandra now," she said lowly and she caught mom's attention, also Cassie's parents and dad's.

"What was that Alex?" Mom asked and she smiled sheepishly. 

"Nothing," it better be nothing! Mom looked suspicious and I avoided any eye contact.

I saw Caleb with Cassie and what is this? Is he flirting with my girlfriend? Uh I don't think so! I walked over to where they were chilling and Cassandra looked at me with a grim look on her face when she glanced at me. 

"So what're you guys up to?" I sat right beside Cassie and gave my cousin an intimidating look.

"We're just talking and chillin Clinton," he winked at her and my forehead creased. 

"Caleb." I said with warning in my tone and he grinned at me.

"What?" He acted all clueless and I glared coldly at him.

"I wouldn't mess with Clint if I were you Caleb," Wilson hung his arm around Caleb's shoulder and I smirked. Now he felt threatened and he chuckled nervously. 

"I'm just talking to Cassandra!" He exclaimed and I quirk a brow.

"Mhmmm... Then what were you talking about then?" I asked, leaning my arms on my knees.

"I'm just telling her how gorgeous she looks." He smiled smugly and I mirrored his expression.

"Does she know you're only sixteen?" I remarked and his cheeks reddened. 

"He's sixteen?" Cassie asked confused. "He said he's 19!" What? I moved my gaze to her and she had a deep frown on her face. 

"I am!" Caleb defended himself but I brushed him off. 

"No, he said he's in college and had lots of experience," I turned to my cousin with both my brows raised and he smirk.

"Does Ajax know about this?" I asked him and he just grinned at me. "Bastard!" I shoved his face and Wilson helped me beat him down. No! I'm kidding. Wilson helped me carry his body towards the pool as he tried to kick free from our grasp but too bad were way stronger and tossed him in the pool.
