Shadae Ortiz POV
(That picture is of Alex)
I legit spring out of bed and head straight for the bathroom. I take a quick piss and brush my teeth, then I started to hum Carry On My Wayward Son. I slip on a pair of workout shorts, a comfortable sports bra, and a plain white muscle tee, then slide on my Nike slides. I go downstairs and begin to make breakfast. One egg to scramble, a piece of turkey bacon, a carrot & spinach smoothie- that I had made the previous night- with a hint of orange juice, and a bowl of granola with some vanilla flavored almond milk. I gobble it all down and go back up to my room to put on some Nike running shoes to go for a jog.
"Where are you going Ma?" A groggy Derek asks me me right before I step out the door.
"On a jog. I'll be back," I reply, unlocking the door.
"But Cutie, it's only eight-oh-five. Why so early?" He presses me.
"Back in New York it is like eleven-oh-five. Longest I'll be is forty-five minutes. Promise," I smile putting one foot out the door.
"I'll miss you!" Derek calls after me as I shut the door.

I get back to the house around nine o'clock. Halfway through the jog, I had removed my shirt and kept it around my neck. My chest is damp and shiny from sweat.
"Derek! Swazz!" I shout, walking through the living room.
"Kitchen!" John yells back at me.
I walk in and see Skate, a new person, and a kid who looks at least eighteen.
"Oh, shit! Yo, I am sorry. I didn't know you would be here," I apologize putting my shirt back on.
"Uh, you could keep that off you know," The kid smirks at me.
"Hayes! I'm sorry for my little brother. Hi I'm Nash! And that's obviously my little perv of brother Hayes," Nash explains.
"Hey! I am not so little, you know what I mean," Hayes winks at me.
"In fact you are hun. I'm nineteen," I tease.
"And I already have dibs," Derek jokes appearing behind me.
"No, you don't," Swazz and I say in unison.
"Derek keep her she has nice boobs," Hayes eyes me.
"You can totally smack him if you want," Nash tells me.
I nod and reach into the fridge, to grab a bottle of water.
"Oh damn and nice ass!"Hayes exclaims, and I hear a smack. "Ow! Nash fuck! I was kidding!" I get a bottle of water. Right before I leave the kitchen, I kiss Hayes on his cheek. Hayes melts in his seat in an instant. I go upstairs and start my shower, I put my bottle on my desk and find a pair of short shorts, and another white shirt.
I step out the bath tub, and dry off. As I put on my clothes, I hear my room door open.
"Who's there?!" I shout putting my shirt over my head. And no response comes, I quickly put on my jeans and get out of the bathroom.
"Hey baby!" A masculine voice says. I turn and see Alex.
Alex was the guy I was currently talking to, but nothing super serious it was like a small fling.
"Hi, babe," I say kissing him, while drying the end of my hair with a towel.
"Heard Derek likes you," Alex growls closely to my ear.
