The Trip Through Love

July and Jacob

When everyone else left the room, July and Jacob definitely didn't go to sleep. Infact, they did (almost) everything besides sleeping. After Jacob said, "Sleep is for the weak," the two had a competition to see who would go to bed first, since they were the most competitive of the bunch.

They did everything they could, from somehow making a blanket fort to playing 'The Floor is Lava' and Jenga they found in the closet. Luckily, they didn't bother the neighbors, nor did Palak catch them. They acted as if they were little kids on a sugar high based on the amount of things they did in the hotel room. Finally, when they tired themselves, they sat on the blankets they used to make the fort. Neither of the two were going to back down from the challenge.

To keep herself busy, July pulled out two facemasks, Jacob kept thinking about the road trip and what he felt with July. That's not what "just friends" feel with each other, is it? Just then he felt something cold and wet touch his face.

"AH!" he screamed.

July giggled. "Relax, it's just a face mask."

Jacob relaxed for a second, before sitting up. "A facemask? Only pussies do that shit."

July pouted. "Well, I'm doing it. Do it with me, maybe?"

Jacob looked at her for a second before sighing, "Fine." He let July put the face mask on him, but as he lay down, his eyelids felt heavy, and slowly closed.

July started the 15 minute timer and climbed into bed. While she was waiting, she went on Snapchat and took a picture of sleeping Jacob and sent it to Violet and Palak. No doubt they were probably sleeping, but they would be able to blackmail him with the picture later. She giggled at his snoring face and thought he looked kinda cute. She caught up on a few Webtoons too before the timer went off. She peeled the mask off and threw it away before peeling Jacob's off too. She saw his glowing face and massaged the rest of the essence into his face.

"I can't believe I'm doing this for you," she whispered, and aggressively rubbed his face. Then she turned off the light and snuggled deep into the sheets, facing Jacob's shining face. At 2:30 am, both were in deep sleep, but there was another small, surprising detail. Both were spooning each other as if they were lovers, and had been for a while.
