Gabi's POV
"DIEGO! GABI! OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR!" Is what I wake up to the next morning.

"Holy shit! I'm coming!" Diego yells back stretching a little before getting out of bed, I follow him into the main part of the room and he opens the door revealing Stat and Fu.

"What the fuck guys?" Diego asks.

"What the fuck us? What the fuck you? We've been knocking and calling for you guys for like the past 10 minutes. We probably looked like idiots or like we were trying to kill you. Get up. We're going to the beach." Fu says.

"Your kidding right. Y'all woke us up to go to the beach? Y'all couldn't give us like another hour?" Diego asks.

"Diego, it's like 12:30 get your lazy asses dressed and downstairs in like 20 minutes." Stat says.

"Fuck whatever. Okay." Diego says before they exchange goodbyes and Diego shuts the door.

"I'm sorry baby." Diego says looking over at me.

"It's okay. I'm excited to go to the beach. Especially since I haven't been once since living in LA cause you and Ethan both hate it." I say with a small smile.

"C'mon get your cute butt in a bathing suit and let's go." Diego says smiling.

"Get your butt in some sweatpants because you don't own a pair of shorts." I say laughing and Diego rolls his eyes but laughs with me.

"Stop making fun of me." Diego pouts and I give him a quick kiss.

"Your adorable." I mumble against his lips before pulling away but he pulls me closer to him and connects our lips again.

"C'mon we gotta get ready before Stat and Fu come up here again." I say pulling away from his lips.

He kisses my forehead softly before releasing me from his grip. I go through my suitcase and decide on a bikini that I figured Diego might appreciate.

I go into the bathroom and slip it on along with one of Diego's shirts and a pair of jean shorts and black flip flops and a pair of sunglasses.

(That's the bathing suit she's wearing ^)

Once I'm done I slip outta the bathroom and grab a bag and put two towels and sunscreen and my headphones in it. I look behind me and see Diego wearing a hoodie, sweatpants, a beanie and sneakers.

"Your kidding right?" I ask looking at him and he just looks down confused.

"D we're going to a beach, not Antarctica!" I say giggling.

"Why do you always wear such big and baggie clothing?" I ask him and he just frowns a little but shakes his head and says no reason.

"I know you're lying to me. Just tell me." I say walking over to him and cupping his beautiful face in my hands.

"I'm self conscious of my body. I'm so tiny and skinny. I hate it. It's embarrassing." He mumbles avoiding eye contact.

"Baby your fucking perfect. You might not be the strongest guy I know but most definitely the best looking I don't care that your a little skinny it doesn't change anything. There's millions of other people in the world that feel the same way as me. I love you for who you are. And your fucking arm muscles make my knees weak. And don't worry seeing you shirtless makes my mouth water a little." I say with a wink at the end causing him to chuckle.

"Thanks babygirl. I love you so much." He says and I smile and he leans in and kisses me softly but we both pull away smiling.

"C'mon let's go before someone comes up here pounding on the door again." I say.

"Wait imma go check on my momma. You can come with." Diego says and I smile, I love how close him and his mom are.

I nod my head and he grabs my hand and intertwines our fingers. I grab my bag and my phone as we walk out the door. He leads the way to him moms room. His mom texted him her room number last night. He knocks on the door a few times before it opens revealing his mom in a sundress and flip flops with a smile on her face like always.

"Diego! Gabi!" Candy says and D and I both smile.

"Hi momma you finna come to the beach with us?" Diego asks.

"Finna?" Candy asks confused and Diego chuckles.

"It means like going to." Diego explains to his confused mom making me giggle a little.

"You really couldn't have just said going?" Candy asks.

"Mom that's beside the point. Are you coming or not?" Diego asks attitude evident in his voice.

"Diego. Don't give your mom attitude." I say slapping him lightly with my hand that isn't intertwined with his.

"Ow, why you gotta be on her side. Your my girlfriend." Diego complains holding his shoulder that I barely hit.

"Diego face the fact that all of your friends that meet me instantly like me more than you." Candy says and I give her a high five.

"Really mom?" Diego whines like a little kid.

"I'm just kidding hunny. Well kind of and to answer your question. Yes I'm coming to the beach. So let's go downstairs." Candy says and I giggle a little at her sly diss.

"Stop laughing at me." Diego whines while Candy goes to grab her stuff.

"Here you big baby." I say before kissing his nose.

"You missed." Diego says but I look at him confused.

He leans in and quickly and softly kisses my lips before Candy walks back over.

"Okay, I'm ready." Candy says and we walk to the elevator.
