⚫Riley's P.O.V.⚫
Seth led me down the stairs and out to the kitchen, where Jess and Lily were sitting.
"See, they both don't have shirts on," Lily told her mom.
I looked down at myself. I had forgotten that I had taken my shirt off. I didn't forget that Seth took his off though, I was too busy ogling.
"Seth," Jess scolded. "I told you to put a goddamn shirt on."
"But it's so warm, and we were packing," he haggled. "And Lily's room is really warm."
"Lily's room?" Jess questioned.
"Yeah, we finished mine and yours and we're almost done with Lily's. All we have to do is pack up the bathroom up there and the upstairs is good."

"Can I come watch?"
"I guess so," he laughed. "I bet you'll be bored, you don't seem very sportsy."
"I won't be bored at all," I said, masking a grin.
