Tension

Asia's POV

I got a few texts from Sydney earlier while I was out with Santiago, informing me about how Chris was basically asking for me and how he wanted Sydney to let him know when we had made it back.

Around the time we made it back to the hotel, it was a quarter till 10 and I was so ready to hit the hay.

Santiago on the other hand, seemed fully energetic.

I questioned myself to how he could still have energy like this after all the activities and walking we did.

I mean of course we went to Starbucks, but soon afterwards he suggested we spend more time together and do a little bit more.

Me being the sweetheart I am, I never once declined so we walked and visited almost every novelty shop to buy things for our families when we go back and even watched a couple street performers.

I don't know why, but now getting to know Santiago, he's not that bad of a person, although he does give out awkward vibes time to time.

When we made it up on the floor where our rooms were, I tried to hurry and tell him goodnight but he kept begging me to hang out with him for one more hour.

Since I felt I didn't want to be bored just yet and Santiago wasn't that bad of a play-mate, I invited him into my hotel room.

"Woah." Santiago looked around my hotel room with an astonished look on his face. His head turned in almost every direction to observe this hotel-suite of a room I had.

"Why can't everyone else's room look like this and have a pool? Wait...." He paused and turned back to look at me with wide eyes.

"Yo, you got a fucking pool too?!?" He practically yelled-whispered. I chuckled at him.

"Yesss, I have a fucking pool too." I yelled-whispered back at him.

"Man that's mad cool." He spoke clearly in his soft New York accent.

"So can I take a dip or what?" He asked pointing his thumb towards the balcony where the pool was at.

"Pshh. You gon be taking a dip tomorrow when we all go to that water park." Besides that excuse, I really wasn't in the mood for swimming. My feet felt like they had blisters on top of blisters right now.

He took a quick,deep sigh "You right." He put his head down and started playing with his fingers, looking just like a bad little kid who just got his hands popped for sneaking cookies out of the cookie jar.

"Oh, what's the long face for?" I ask him, really wanting to know.

He didn't speak for about 10 seconds until he looked at me with an unreadable expression and spoke monotonous, "Nothing, Asia."

"I hope you ain't really think yo ass was gon go swimming right now." I looked at him unbelievably because he was acting childish, pouting and shit.

"Like Rosa Parks said, Nah." He smirked and sat on the edge of my bed.

"Oh, so you think you got jokes?" I asked with one eyebrow raised.

He shrugged, "Meh."

"You're so aggy." I playfully rolled my eyes at him and went over to the mini fridge to get me a bottle of Fiji water.

While in the midst of drinking, I feel my left butt cheek vibrating. I grab my phone out of my back pocket and read the message Syd just sent me.

Sister 🖤 ~ "Chris wants to see you sis. We finna come in like 3 minutes so y'all bet not be doing no freaky shii 👀"

I smack my lips quietly and shake my head before replying back.
