"dude who are you always texting?" brandon looked up from his phone and to his friend.
"uh, n-no one." the boy turned his phone off and laid it down on his lap.
it wasn't the fact that it was zion's cousin or their messages, since they weren't bad. it was that he didn't really care for them to know. he thought it would be best if the boys didn't know so they wouldn't mess around with him. also so zion doesn't bug talia about it.
brandon's curly headed friend had a smirk on his face before attacking brandon for his phone. the two collapsed on the floor with a loud thud as one tried to keep their phone away from the other.
"edwin, no! get off of me!" the boy with glasses yelled at his friend as he tried to get away. four other boys had walked into the hotel room with food but soon stopped seeing what was going on.
"what the hell is going on here?" a boy with long blonde hair questioned.
the two boys on the floor paused their actions and turned their heads to the four that stood at the door. brandon was under edwin, his glasses crooked on his face and his phone in one hand in the air and the other one out on edwin.
edwin on the other hand, had one hand on gripped on the wrist which held the phone and his other one trying to push brandon's other hand. the two quickly separated from each other and recoiled themselves.
"brandon's talking to someone." edwin blurts. brandon looks at his friend and punches him in the side.
"to who?" zion asked the both of them. all the boys seemed to be interested in the topic as they all waited quietly for an answer.
"that's what i was trying to find out." edwin said speaking of their previous position. the four guys oh'ed
"why not?" Khalid asked the two.
"c-cause it's my business." brandon shoves his phone in his pocket.
"i got it!" edwin yelled.
brandon glared at edwin. he took that as que to run into the bathroom and lock the door. brandon ran straight after edwin only being caught at the bathroom door.
brandon put his hands telling his friend to knock it off and give him his phone back. none of it worked since his friend stayed in the bathroom.
"holy shit b." edwin's muffled voice gasped as he opened the bathroom door.
all five boys stared at edwin's facial expression as he was quiet. edwin dropped brandon's phone in his hand and walked past them and to the room he was sharing with they boy.
"b what did you do?" austin asked the kid. brandon shrugged his shoulders even though knowing why edwin did that.
"he must've seen some nudes." nick laughed but stopped when zion smacked him in the neck.
brandon shook his head and the five of them went to the small kitchen area in the hotel.
the hotel room consisted of two other rooms— both with one king sized bed, a small living space that had a pull out couch, and a small kitchen that had a mini fridge and counter space.
austin, nick, and khalid put down different bags, each carrying take out styrofoam cases that held each order. the boys had also went to the store to buy plastic cups so they didn't have to pay for using the hotels.
one of the boys was pouring coke into five different red solo cups. they didn't think edwin would be coming out of the room until a little later.
soon enough as the boys sat in the living room talking and eating they all went quiet once they heard a click of a door.
out came their curly headed friend who made their way to the kitchen and got his food and drink. he then sat next to nick on a love seat.
once they were done eating and tired around the time of twelve in the morning they all went to bed. brandon had just gotten done with his turn in the shower and sat down on one side of the bed.
"i didn't think you would be talking to zion's cousin." edwin spoke.
brandon turned his head to his friend who was now sitting up also. he nodded his head as he turned off the dimly lit lamp and took off his glasses.
"uh yeah."
"is that why you didn't want to show me?" edwin laughed.
"yeah. i guess i just didn't want zion saying anything, you know. it isn't really a big deal though." he shrugged before laying down.
"yeah i get it dude. it'll be secret."
