It was the first day of Christmas Break. I smelled breakfast, causing me to jump out of bed and come into the kitchen. My mom had her favorite R&B Christmas music playing and the twins were mocking being silly dancing with her, or trying to.

"Good morning son." she smiled.

"Good Morning RoRo" Riley yelled.

Raven grabbed my leg and squeezed it.

"We have some pancakes, eggs, sausage and grits." she said.

"Hmm, choices... I like this." I went to make my plate, and sat down.

"So... I figured why change traditions and go to our usual Christmas get away?" she asked.

"What if we run into dad?" I asked.

"So be it, it will be fun for me, you and the girls to escape."

"Agreed."

I managed to make it through the last week without running into Jazzy or Zane, ignored all of their calls and text messages. Right now I just need some space and going to Mountain Valley Springs is exactly what I needed. Even if I was just there.

......

"The smell of pine and mountains does a soul good." mom said.

Walking into the lobby was something out of a lifetime Christmas movie.

My mom went to check us in, I waited with my little sisters.

"I knew i could sense you near."

The sound of his voice made me melt into a puddle basically.

"Gabriel Martinez, the one and only."

Gabriel stands there with his towel on his shoulder, his hair a lot longer than his usual short cut, his intense dark eyes.

"Happy Belated Birthday papi."he said.

I smiled as he pulled me in for a hug.

"Our usual spot." he whispered in my ear.

"See you then."

So my family always traveled to Mountain Valley Springs during Christmas break and about 3 years ago I met Gabriel, we hit it off and he was my first kiss.

We got our room, and headed to unpack. The twins were eager to get in the pool.

"Swimmy, Swimmy." Riley screamed.

"Mom I can handle the girls, you get some rest." I said.

My mom wasn't paying me any attention, I called her name again. "Sorry Love have fun." she said.

She went into the bathroom, raising my right eyebrow.

......

When the twins reached the pool, they must of activated their twin powers and decided to take out their innocent older brother.

"Riley, Raven... WAIT!" I yelled.

"Sorry Ro Ro" Riley said.

I got up and immediately scooped them up heading to the kiddie pool.

"Daddy!" "Daddy!"

We looked on the other side, there he was dad... in the pool with the other woman, and that other kid.

He looked like a deer in the headlights. He smiled and started to swim our way, I moved quickly as I jumped out the pool, taking the twins with me.

"Kids" he said.

The feeling I get in my stomach is another type of disgust.

"Rowan, son... you are 17, Happy Belated Birthday." he said.

" I'm going to feed the twins, have fun." Without making eye contact I headed back to the room and somehow explain to my mother about her ex husband here with his new family.

When I got to the room, she was wearing a tight dress, her hair was done and she was putting on lipstick.

"There you are, I am going to need you to watch the girls... I have a date." she said.

"What am I a babysitter?" But I must admit it is nice to see my mom getting herself dressed to go out.

"Sorry mom, I just had plans later on."

"I won't be out long." she gave me an air kiss and headed out the room.

"Pizza for dinner?" Raven asked.

I got down on my knees and looked my disappointed sisters in their big brown eyes "Pizza it is, and we will find a movie to watch."

I somehow got the girls to get in the tub, they were having fun splashing and screaming they didn't notice when I slipped out to go get the pizza in the lobby. I noticed the fancy restruant doors open, thats usually where my mom and dad went to eat for date night. we always had a family breakfast the next morning with the Martinez family. I somehow caught my mom smiling, sipping on her wine and when I got closer she was sitting across from.... PRINCIPAL SMITH!?

"Pizza for Rowan!"

When I snapped out of spying on my mom, I went to go pay for the pizza and my dad already sent the pizza man on his way.

"Son, it's the least I can do." he said.

"You, don't have to DO anything for me... you have your own responsibilities."

"I am still your father!" he yelled.

"And thats what hurts the most, is that you are still my father." I walked away hoping that the words left a burn.

....

The twins were passed out, bathed and bellies full of pizza. My mom walked in smiling.

"Thank you son." she hugged me and kissed me on my forehead. I wasn't mad anymore, maybe just weirded out by the fact that she might be dating my principal.

I looked at my phone.

Gabriel : On My Way, See You There.

My heart fluttered. I went to take a quick a shower.

..........

Something about the steam room after hours was sneaky, exciting and fun.

His hand were on my head guiding me up and down... his head tossed back as he moaned in pleasure, the empty steam room filled with slurping and loud sucking noises and Gabriel was finally at his ends, his muscles tightened up and he released.

"FUCK" he cried.

We stood up, he was breathing heavily, he was smiling. "You get better every year."

"But, you never text me" Gabriel shrugged, "I'm busy papi, senior year and im looking into colleges and such. "

"I'm sorry, I understand." I guess. I couldn't help myself but guide my finger down his chest and well defined abs. He leaned forward and kissed me. "Happy Belated Birthday"

"You remembered?" I asked.

"I do have social media, I might not post my every move, BUT I see things."

"You have one coming up, the big eighteen."

"Legal baby." Gabriel said while flexing.

"Lets go to the lobby and talk." he added.
