After a week exploring Tennessee with a flirtatious taxi driver, we were finally flying home. Emily took the window seat and I sat by the isle. Stephanie sat between us, "You are going to get to meet Sandy!" Stephanie told her sister excitedly, "Hopefully Joven took care of her."  She turned her head slowly to look at me.

"He did," I said with a laugh, "He's been checking in. Sandy is fine."

"Is he picking us up at the airport?" She asked me and I nodded. I fell asleep a few minutes later and slept for the entire flight. Stephanie woke me up as everyone was exiting the plane. I glanced up at the clock to see that it was three o'clock in the morning. We grabbed our carry-on and followed the crowd out of the plane. We moved through the crowded airport towards the baggage claim and found our suit cases. Once we were sure that we had the right luggage we moved towards the exit. I glanced down at my phone to see that Joven was waiting in the parking lot.

I avoided making eye contact with anyone who looked like they would be a fan of Smosh Games and soon made it out of the airport without being recognized. Joven was waiting by the exit doors, "Hey!" He said excitedly, "I missed y'all!" He hugged Steph and paused when he saw Emily, "Hi." He said awkwardly and they shook hands.

"This is my little sister Emily," Stephanie told him.

"Y'all look really similar." He told me with a light laugh as we began moving towards his car, "My name is Josh, but all of my friends calls me Joven. I'm Wes' roommate." He told her, "It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too." She said quietly and I saw Stephanie take her hand. She whispered something in her ear as we moved closer to Joven's car.

Joven and I packed the luggage in the trunk before getting in the car, "Since its late y'all can stay at our place if you'd like." Joven said, "Sandy is still there probably peeing on the sofa."

Stephanie lightly laughed and I glanced into the review mirror to see her, "Thanks for watching her." She told him, "I really appreciate it."

"Anytime, she is adorable," he said with a smile as he drove through the darkness towards our apartment complex, "Are y'all glad to be home?"

"Very." Stephanie said, "I think I'm done with Tennessee for a long time."

We got to the apartment and unloaded all of the luggage. We dragged all of our bags up the million stairs and into our apartment, "Why don't you use the elevator? Is it broken?" Emily asked as we all struggled up the steps.

"We just got into the bad habit of using the stairs," Joven said as he rolled Emily's new suitcase up the stairs for her.

When we got upstairs Sandy came running to the door barking, "It's possible that or apartment doesn't allow pets." Joven said to Stephanie with a light laugh as we walked inside, "I've been trying to teach her how to stay quiet while she is here, but she likes to bark."

He shut the door and I turned on the light, "You two can sleep in my bed and I'll stay in Joven's room for tonight." I said as I locked the door behind me. Emily and Stephanie were distracted by Sandy, "I'm going to bed." I said and moved behind Steph to get to my room. I grabbed a different shirt, then moved into Joven's room to change.

I heard footsteps come in and shut the door as I pulled another shirt over my head, "Joven don't make this weird." I said, turning around to see Stephanie standing in front of the closed door, "Oh, hi."

"Thank you for bringing me to Tennessee," she said to me and I smiled as she slowly moved towards me. My heart leaped in my chest, "Thank you for helping me save my sister."

"Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life," I said to her and reached for her hands, "You look lovely tonight." I said with a shy smile.

She began to blush and ran her hand through her tangled blond hair. She hugged me, "Thank you, Wesley." She looked up at me as she rested her head on my chest and I pressed my lips against hers.

"I'll see you in the morning, Princess." I said as she moved away from me and exited my room, "Goodnight."

She smiled at me, repeated the phrase, then walked out of my room. I watched her leave, then fell onto Joven's bed to go to sleep.
