❀Courtney's P.O.V❀

"Mom, it's just a short road trip. All the guys are going."

"Julian, listen to your mother." Blake speaks up as he walks into the kitchen to grab a banana, "I'm not gay." He adds as he holds it up.

I laugh from my spot on the couch and Emily lifts the bowl of popcorn as Blake grabs a handful.

"What are you girls watching?"

He takes a seat beside me and I move over a little to give him more space.

"The Notebook."

"Oh god, I've watched this over a thousand times with your mother."

"Aww, goals." My mom coos as she sits on the other couch, her own bowl of popcorn on her lap.

"Mom, I will only be gone for a week! It's summer!"

"Can I trust that you won't do anything that you're not supposed to?" Nichole questions, making Emily snort.

"He can't keep down alcohol even if it's just a sip and he's head over heels for Alexa, so yes she can."

"Mom, when have I ever done anything to lose your trust?"

Nichole stays quiet for a moment before she lets out a defeated sigh, "Alright, but I want you back home no more than a week later, got it?"

"Thank you, sweet-precious-beautiful mother!"

I look back to see him giving her a big kiss on the cheek and she laughs.

"Oh, to be young."

"Tell me about it." Blake speaks up, "Now you don't let me bang you like before."

"Blake!"

"Aw gross!" Emily complains, cupping her ears while my mom and I laugh out loud.

"Dad, that's very disturbing." Julian says, shaking his head as he climbs up the stairs.

"As if you guys haven't done anything of that sort."

My cheeks instantly flush and Emily acts as if she didn't hear anything as she stuffs her mouth with popcorn.

"Actually, believe it or not, I'm still a virgin." Julian replies proudly.

"I believe you." Blake says.

"Wait, what's that supposed to mean?!"

"You ready to go?" Alex asks as he walks in and Julian nods his head.

"Yeah, I just packed one of my backpacks."

I wave at him when he passes by the couch and he smiles as he walks over to me, leaning down to kiss my lips.

"Aww, you two lovebirds." Emily coos, petting Lucy's golden fur.

"Damien, get in here!" Alex calls out and moments later, he walks in grinning from ear to ear.
