I returned back from our shopping trip with bags and bags of clothes. I walked into the boy's bedroom, but they weren't there, so I headed back into the kitchen to see a note on the table. It read:

-
Ronnie,

we're at the pool on floor 2, come down :)

Nick & Ry
-

I smiled down at the note before walking into my bedroom, changing back into my bikini and throwing my hair into a ponytail before heading out of the apartment and down to floor 2. Walking into the pool area I saw all of the guys were floating around in either the pool or the spa.
"Ronnie!" Anthony called out as he saw me. I threw my towel down on one of the chairs before walking over to him and Josh, who were in the pool.
"Hey guys." I smiled, as I climbed in.
"Why do you still have your bracelet on? Don't you want to take it off?" Josh asked and I shook my head.
"Nah, it's fine." I answered back as I noticed Nick was looking at me from the hot tub. I shot him a small smile and he did so as well before I turned back to the boys, "Where are the other girls?" I asked.
"Um, we all left them notes, so they're probably on their way down." Josh explained and I nodded.

"Ronniee!! We need you over here!" Quinton called out, his arm wrapped around Noah's shoulder, who was smiling widely at me.
"I'll see you guys later." I smiled as I waded over to the other guys. "What's up?" I asked.
"We just wanted you to be over here." Quinton smiled.
"Wh..." I started but Noah cut me off.
"It's making Nick jealous. We find it pretty funny." Noah smirked and I nodded.
"Fair enough. Why do you think it's making him jealous?" I asked, and Noah motioned for me to look at him, to see he was still watching me.
"Well you've been down here for what? 10 minutes, and you haven't gone over to him. Also he's been watching you since you got in. And you should've seen his face when Q called you over." Noah explained and I nodded.
"Damn, you guys are kinda stalker-ish about him." I smirked and they laughed.
"We just like annoying people." Quinton smirked and I rolled my eyes.
"Well don't annoy me, because I will annoy you back." I warned and they laughed.
"Ooh, I'm scared." Noah laughed, I hit his arm and to apologize he gave me a hug.
"Oh, you should see Nick's face right now." Quinton laughed, making me pout slightly.
"Stop making fun of him." I whined and Noah shot me a look.
"Ooh, someone has a cruuuushhh." Noah sang, I rolled my eyes.
"No he's just a sweet guy, and you shouldn't make fun of him." I defended and they both laughed again.
"Dude she's crushing haaard." Noah laughed and Quinton nodded.
"She's crushing sooo hard." Quinton laughed as well, I pushed Noah away from me as I flipped them both off. I waded away from them as the other girls entered the pool area. I headed over to the only guys that I hadn't spoken to. I climbed out of the pool, getting into the hot tub where Ryland and Nick were hanging out.

"Hey guys." I smiled as I sat between the two of them.
"Hey Ronnie, how was shopping?" Ryland asked, wrapping his arm around my shoulder.
"Good, good, I got a heap of shit that I don't need and wasted a lot of money but it's okay." I smiled and they nodded. I looked around the pool area, noticing a 12 or 13 year old girl facing her phone towards us. "Does that not bother you guys?" I asked, motioning towards her.
"You get used to it. It's annoying when you're doing something that you don't really want out there. Like drinking or smoking, or picking up crying friends off the side of the road." Nick replied and I nodded, I noticed that Ryland was now scrolling on his phone, so I turned back to Nick. He glanced down at my wrist, reaching over to it but I pulled my hand away.
"Later." I whispered and he nodded slightly.
"Does it hurt?" He asked in a whisper and I nodded slightly.
"Yeah, especially when I was carrying my bags." I answered and he nodded.
"Let me know if I can do anything," He whispered, smiling back at me softly.
"Thanks Nicky." I smiled as I turned back to the girl, who was now standing, facing us. "She's definitely filming us." I whispered and he looked over at her.
"Yeah, probably shouldn't do something we wouldn't want on tiktokroom." He smirked and I nodded.

"I'm heading back to the room, see you guys later." Ryland said before climbing out of the hot tub, making Nick move slightly closer to me.
"That bikini looks really good on you." He whispered, a small smile growing on my face.
"Thanks." I replied, as his hand lightly held onto mine.
"So you going to tell me about your wrist now or later?" He asked as I noticed someone get in the hot tub, Cynthia. I pulled my hand away from his. "I guess that means later."
"Hey guys, sorry was I interrupting something?" She asked and I shook my head.
"No, nothing." I replied as I shifted away from Nick slightly. We chatted for about an hour before I decided to get out.

"I'm going to head back up and watch a movie or sleep or something." I said to the group that had formed around the hot tub.
"Yeah, I'll head back up two." Nick confirmed, as he followed me out of the hot tub and over to our towels. We walked back inside the building and into the elevator. He placed his hands on my towel-covered waist, pulling me into him. We arrived on our floor and I pulled away from him as I left the elevator, walking into the apartment. I moved into my bedroom, grabbing a change of clothes before walking into my bathroom and taking a shower. When I got out, I changed into some grey sweatpants and a grey sports bra before walking back into my room, climbing into bed and turning on the tv. My bedroom door opened and Nick stumbled in, he was wearing some sweatpants and a grey sweatpants, and his hair was wet again from his shower and so was sitting over his forehead.

"What's up Nicky?" I asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"Can I have a nap in here? Ry's asleep in ours and he's like..." He started but finished by spreading his arms and legs out wide.
"Yeah that's fine." I answered as he walked over to the other side of my bed, climbing in. He pulled the blanket over his shoulder so that only the top of his head was poking out. I picked up his head slightly, pulling it over to rest on my stomach as I ran my fingers through his hair. He moaned slightly as I did so, making me laugh and one of his arms wrapped around my waist. I rested my head back against my pillow, as I faded back off to sleep. When I woke up, Nick was lifting his head off my stomach, I'm guessing he had just woken up as well. I shifted my body down under the blanket more as Nick wrapped his arm back around my waist.
"You know, last night, was the first time he's ever scared me. I've been uncomfortable, I've been taken advantage of, but I've never been scared." I whispered as Nick's eyes opened slightly.
"What? He scared you? What did he do?" He asked, his hand gripping my waist slightly.
"Yeah, he was asking me why I smelled like smoke, and he was being kind of, I don't know. Like dodgy, so I said that I was leaving and that's when he grabbed my wrist, so tight and he pulled me into the bedroom. I was trapped there all night." I explained as I pulled my hand out of the bed, removing the fabric for him to look at the bruise again. I looked up at him, noticing a tattoo behind his ear. "Wait, whose Joanna? An ex girlfriend?" I asked and he smirked.
"It's my mom's name." He answered back, he pulled his arm out, showing me his other tattoos.
"Bear boy." I mocked and he laughed slightly.
"Wow you really are Josh's sister." He laughed as his hand found its way to my wrist, brushing against my bruise. "I hate Tommy. I really do." He whispered and I nodded glancing up at him again, this time his face was inches from mine, I could feel his hot breath against my cheek and his eyes were burning into mine.

He just wants to do you and dump you.
