My phone lights up on my nightstand and I glare at the blue light painting the ceiling. So much for sleeping. I throw my hand out to the side and answer.

"Hello?" I start.

"Pretty Boy! You picked up!" She sounds giddy but I sit bolt upright anyways.

"Kayla? It's the middle of the night. You good?"

"Oh I'm great. Are the boys with you?"

"No, it's the middle of the night. I was trying to sleep."

"Well you aren't going to be sorry about that."

"What?"

"We're going skinny dipping."

"Sorry what?"

"I can go. And who knows when this will happen again, so we are going."

"Did you get permission or something?" I ask cautiously, thinking of her foster father's hands.

"Heck no. I've got an open window."

"Are you calling me from the roof?"

"No, I'm calling you from inside my room. It's a metaphorical window of freedom and spunk."

"Freedom and spunk?"

"Yep."

"Are you sure you're alright?"

"I'm great, just go wake up the boys."

I sigh and drag a hand down my face. "Alright fine, just let me put on pants first."

"Leave 'em off!" I instantly start choking. "We're going skinny dipping!" I recover enough to pull the phone away from the side of my face and switch it to speaker. Then I drop it onto my bed and walk over to the closet. I pick up the jeans I wore today from the floor and grab a random shirt too. "Thank you universe, it's waterproof," comes Kayla's voice from my phone. I smile and shake my head at her, even though she can't see me and tug on both articles of clothing. "Pretty Boy?"

"Yeah?"

"Eyeliner or no?"

"Don't ask me I wouldn't know."

"Well I might look like a crack whore by morning. So... worth it." I chuckle and scoop the phone off of the bed.

"I'm going to find everyone else."

"Mmkay." I head into the hall and walk across the way to bang mercilessly on Bash and Ryder's door.

"We're going out lets go!" Something hits the door from the other side. At least someone is awake.

"Tell them what we are doing, Pretty Boy! It's the best part." I sigh and relent.

"We're going skinny dipping with Kayla!" I holler, pounding on the wood once more. The door in front of me swings open in less than four seconds. Bash stands there, shirtless and crazed. I blink at him and lower my fist which still hovers in front of his face.

"What?" he says.

"Skinny Dipping!" Kayla screams from the other end of the line.

"Holy shit. Ryder get up. Get up now," Bash states as he turns around and closes the door in my face. Kayla starts laughing maniacally. I just sigh and walk the few steps to Jax and Dominic's room. I raise my fist to pound their door too but Jax opens it before I get the chance.

"I heard you! I heard you! Let me brush my teeth!" He stumbles out of the door, tugging his socks on as he goes. I stand back and let him through. Then I poke my head in to find Dominic. The room is empty.
