JUNE'S P.O.V.:

My aunt and uncle assumed that Tristan and I were going out so I had to pull them aside to explain everything that had happened in the previous 24 hours.

24 hours.

I had spent so much time with Tris.

No, actually it was more like 30 hours. Wow dude.

"Look at all my Ninjago guys!" Thomas, my five-year-old cousin said to Tris, pulling him to the ground. I chuckled as Tom pushed Lego figures into his hands, "You can be him and I'll be the goodies."

I left the boys to it and went to the kitchen to help my grandma with whatever.

She instructed me to lay the table, so I did.

I had to move Tom's Lego to the side a bit to make room for extra chairs which earned me some disapproving grunts form him and Tristan. As I walked away I stuck my tongue out at them.

"June, you should make Tris live here," Harry told me, "Thomas always wants my attention. The freedom tastes good."

~*~

We had a rather late lunch as after I finished the table we had to wait another hour at least before we could eat.

I joined Thomas and together we completely annihilated Tristan's battle ship.

Apparently my uncle Mark had promised Tom that he would take him to the pier after lunch. I wanted to go as well as I hadn't been in quite a while.

The four of us piled into Mark's small car; Tristan in the front and I was stuck with a very chatty Tom in the back.

"Daddy! You promised bumper cars!" Tom whined and after five minutes he got his wish.

"June, you wanna go with me?" Tris asked me.

"Oh, hell no. You're going down." I walked over to a galaxy themed bumper car, got in by myself and just left him standing there.

As Tom was too small he had to go with his dad which annoyed him as he wanted to "bump" him.

"Hey June!" I heard from somewhere behind me, followed by another car hitting mine's "butt". I turned around, saw Tris and hit the gas pedal.

After a while I wounded up behind Tristan's car and returned the favour; hitting him multiple times until I got hit myself. Mark had taken over the steering wheel from Tom and now all the boys had teamed up against me.

How wonderful.

Ten minutes later our cars stopped working which indicated the end of our session; in total the guys had hit me more than I got them, even though I got some pretty good bumps in there.

Tom ran up to me, "We hit you! We bumped your car's butt!" I fake pouted, which made him laugh even more.

Tristan then wrapped an arm around my shoulders, "Hey, sorry about that."

"Why?" I asked, "That was fun."

Suddenly I was very aware that Tristan was still touching me.

He removed it though when Mark told us that they were heading inside to play on the machines.

Luckily I had brought my wallet with me, but there was only like five pounds in it. I decided to split it with Tris.

Tom and I practically ran for the air hockey table, but there was a note on it, saying it was defect.

Instead I turned to the two pence machines and blew a whole pound without winning a thing. Well, technically I won more coins, but then I used those too.

"I'm back!" Tristan suddenly stood behind me, chuckling slightly.

To be honest, I hadn't noticed he had left.

"Do you think your grandma will like this as a 'thank you'-present?"

I turned around and saw that Tris was holding a very fluffy and not so small, brown bear.

"Not really, but I will." I said.

Tristan handed it over to me, smiling.

I then hugged him, fiercely, "Thank you."

"It was actually your money, remember?" he said, hugging me back, "But you're welcome anyway."

We found Mark and Tom playing some Batman game which Tom was failing at, but he kept claiming he rocked. When Mark got to the point where he was refusing to buy another round Tom was on the verge of throwing a tantrum, so he was taken outside for a time-out.

Five minutes later Mark announced that we were going to the other pier to check the air hockey table before heading home.

Luckily, that one was working  and we played several rounds. I let Tom win with one point, Tris and I drew and the first round I beat Mark with five points which here fused to accept so we did another round and he beat me with two.

The sun had started to set when we got back to the car.

Author's Note:

This chapter is quite a bit shorter than usual, but I did warn you guys.

Honestly, I'm not sure if you're a huge fan of me including June's family, I just think it makes it a bit more realistic, but I can turn it down a notch maybe.

Anyway, please tell me if you liked this by voting or leaving a comment if you're feeling nice.

XOXO Nina
