Arianna's POV

I woke up the next day at the sound of my phone ringing. I groaned and rolled closer to my night table. I took my phone and looked at the caller ID: Aunt Claire. I answered and put my phone in my ear.

"Hello?" I said in a sleepy voice.

"Wake up sunshine."

"It's just 10 in the morning Aunt C."

"And that's a normal time to wake up, hun."

"Well, why'd you call?"

"I was wondering when you were gonna stop by."

"Wait up. Let me ask Nico. He drives." I said. I shook Nico awake, but he just groaned. "Wake up sleepy head. Your snatching more than half of the blanket and I gotta ask you something."

"Arianna, are you in bed next to a guy?!" Aunt Claire asked.

''Uhmm. Yes? Is that a problem?"

"You're asking if that's a problem?! Of course it is! Your in bed next to a guy!" A deep voice said. Aaron.

"I don't see why you care, Aaron. And it's really not what you think. We didn't want to spend money for another room." I said. Nico sat up as soon as he heard me mention Aaron's name. 

"Put it on speaker." Nico mouthed.

I did just as Aaron said, "Make him sleep in the couch."

"I don't see why make a big deal out of it. It's not like he's gonna do something to me. Or get me to do something I don't wanna do."

I heard him groan. "But still!"

"Still what? You know what, just tell Claire I'll be there in an hour and that I can't stay for long. Bye." I quickly hung up and threw my phone at my night table. I laid back down and covered my face with the comforter while groaning in annoyance.

"He's one annoying ass."

"Tell me about it. You think we could stop by at their house for a while. I need to give them the gift from mom."

"Sure. We have 3 hours left so you can stay there for an hour or 2."

"Actually, I was planning to go to the mall for an hour so that I can look for a gift for your dad. Besides, I do not wanna be anywhere near that asshole in forever."

"You don't have to, you know?"

"I know, but I insist. I mean, he let us stay here and he invited me to his party. It's the least I can do."

"If you say so. Go get ready then."

I got up and took a shower. I put on a simple outfit. Jean shorts, a red baggy top that says "Haters Can Hate", and a pair of red convers. I stepped outside and saw Nico laying down on the sofa, T.V. turned to a sports channel. I rolled my eyes. Boys will always be boys. I flopped down at his stomach, making him groan.

"Your turn."

"Alright! Just get your fat ass off me!"

"Hey! My ass is not fat! It's the nicest ass you've ever stared at!"

"True."

"Ah! So you admit looking at my ass!"

"Arianna, that's what guys do." he said, sitting up, making me slide down to his manly parts.

"This position is so wrong in so many ways.I'm just gonna sit at the floor." I said, awkwardly sitting at the floor.

He laughed and stood up, making his way to the bathroom. I took out the gifts my mom sent me from my suitcase just as Nico walked out the bathroom dressed in jeans, red vans, and red shirt.
