"Mhm." I mumbled as we walked briskly through the airport, the iPhone pressed against my ear. "Yeah. If you need me, call Johann."

"I will and Y/n be persistent." I furrowed my eyebrows as we reached the terminal. "If something you don't like happens, don't run from it. Just face it."

"You should know by now that I don't run from things. Well... most things." I chuckled out, handing our tickets to the lady before walking across the ramp. "As for you, have loads of fun. It's Miami and you're home. Take advantage of that." I then whispered softly to Rosie as she started to fidget in my arms from her sleep.

"You want me to get white girl wasted?" I chuckled, my head shaking lightly.

"Do whatever you want, it's your trip. And it's not me you gotta worry about, it's your lover Richard." We found our seats, directly next to the engine. "Shit, I forgot how much I hated flying." I huffed out before handing Rosie to Johann so I could put our suitcases into the compartment.

"You'll be fine. Have a safe flight, I love you."

I froze for a second with the bag above my head, my shoulder holding the phone to my ear. "I- thank you, bye now." I quickly hung up and handed Johann his phone, pushing our bags in.

"What was that about?" He questioned, taking my seat by the window.

"Nothing." I mumbled and leaned over to put Rosie into the middle seat. She was still sleeping, considering how early it was, so I pulled the blanket over her small frame then got myself comfortable in the seats I haven't ridden in what felt like a lifetime.

"So, ground rules." I stated once I made sure we were all buckled up.

"Right." He muttered and turned to me slightly. "Hit me with em boss."

I chuckled with my head shaking. "First, school. You're enrolled for the summer so take it seriously. Second, California is not like home, no running off at midnight without letting me know, alright?" He nodded. "Third, always stay in contact with me."

"But how? Phones are the devil to you." Sighing, I dug in my jacket pocket and pulled out a brand new phone. "Samsung? Pussy."

I slapped the back of his head when some old lady in the front turned around to look at us. "Sorry." I mumbled and she scowled turning back. "Another thing. You're not considered to be of age out there so cursing and your very bright personality will get frowned upon."

He furrowed his eyebrows with a scowl. "Does it look like I care what they think?" I cocked an eyebrows at him and he huffed in realization. "Right. You do because apparently you're someone special to them."

"Not anymore." I mumbled, clicking my seatbelt on when the sign flashed. "Reiterate my rules, Johann."

"Okay." He cleared his throat and nodded. "No fun, no fun, no fun with contact, and more no fun." He rolled his head to me and gave me a cheeky smile. I rolled my eyes and smacked his head again. "I got them mom. I'm not completely stupid- hello beautiful."

I covered my face when a stewardess walked up, offering us drinks. I really hoped this trip didn't turn to shit.

After a good fifteen minutes of everyone getting settled in their seats, I pulled out my phone and went to the apps I haven't used in forever. Instagram first.

I typed in her account and smiled when I saw the first picture that popped up.
