Chapter 21 ~ Friends

Jacob P.O.V

I roll over in the soft sheets, inhaling the smell of the hotel mixed with the sweet faint scent of Riley Dean.

I peer my eyes open to look at her, only she isn't there. It is just me in this huge round bed. I go to reach over to my phone on the table beside the bed and there is a small folded note on top of it.

'Be back soon
-Riley xoxo'

I put the note aside with a sigh and pick up my phone to read the time. 9:01am.

Typical Rye, leaving before I wake up.

I put my phone back down and sit up in bed, rubbing my tired eyes. Sleep was minimal last night. Neither of us could sleep for the most part, the nightmares being to horrific to bear. Just as I am about to get out of bed and have a shower, my phone vibrates on the table.

"Hello?" I answer it without checking who was calling.

"You son of a bitch."

I sigh. "Hey Chase."

"Where the hell are you?"

"Uhhhhm," I screw up my face, "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

"Dude if you are doing 'it' with Riley right now please hang up on me. Hats off to you and all, but we gotta have boundaries."

"Firstly," I say. "Ew. I would not answer the phone if that was the case. Secondly, is sex all you think about? Cause you need to get a life."

"I have one, and it is full of sex. But back to the actual topic of discussion here, where the hell are you?"

"Vegas."

"Har-har, you're hilarious." He says sarcastically.

"Chase, I'm serious. Me and Riley caught a flight late last night and landed early this morning. I just woke up in the hotel room."

"Prove it." He replies unconvinced.

"Wait one second then."

I switch to the camera on my phone and take a selfie holding the plane ticket from my bedside table. I send it in a text to Chase then return to the call.

"There." I nod to myself.

There is silence while Chase checks the message.

"You are actually in Vegas. I can't believe you."

"Neither can I really. It was Riley's idea."

"Well no shit. You haven't got an adventurous bone in your body."

"Can't argue with that." I admit.

"How did you sneak past me and America? She was sleeping on the couch and you have to go past my room."

"You are the deepest sleeper I know and we just crept past Mare."

"How long are you staying there?"

"A few days I guess. Just until everything dies down back there."

"I can't say I blame you."

"Keep me posted, alright mate?"
