So his bitch asswasup to no good. And if he was fucking with Enzo that could only mean one thing...teenage girls.

I stood in front of the open balcony door, the night air brushing over my skin.
When the key turned in the lock, my heart jumped. Ocean walked in, his clean, addictive scent filling the air.
“Hey, you,” he whispered.
“Hey,” I replied, voice soft, trying not to show how much relief had flooded me the second I saw him.
He dropped his keys in the bowl by the door and came over, wrapping his arms around me. “You good?”
“Yeah. What about you?”
“I’m cool.”
“You sure? You seem...a little off, and rightfully so. I know it had to be scary finding out something was wrong with Ol’ School.”
“Yeah, it was. But that quickly got replaced with some other shit when I got there and found his son there.”
I frowned slightly. “His son? What was he?—”
“My thoughts exactly.”
“How did he even know something had happened? Did Ol’ School call him?”
“No. Apparently, he had his number in the emergency contact section in his phone. When the paramedics arrived, they called him.”
“Oh.” I nodded. “Well, please tell me you two didn’t come to blows in that man’s living room.”
“Nah, but we came damn close. I kept my cool. I just made sure he knows not to bring his ass around no more.”
“And how did he take that?”
“Like the bitch that he is.” Ocean kissed my forehead, forcing a grin to spread across my face.
Trying to make things lighter, I changed the subject. “You know, I was thinking...we need to get away. Just for a couple of days.”
He gave me a slow, assessing look. “I know the perfect place.”
I raised my eyebrows. “Oh really? Where?”
He pulled out his phone, tapping on the screen quickly. “Shade’s cabin. It’s two hours outside of the city.”
“I didn’t know he had a cabin. Y’all just have cribs everywhere, huh?”
Ocean shrugged. “We like having a change in scenery.”
“I can tell.” I giggled.
“Alright, it’s all set. He said we could have it for a as long as we needed it. No interruptions. Full privacy. He’s going to make sure it’s ready for us.”
My heart fluttered. A cabin sounded perfect. Cozy, tucked away, and completely secluded.
Within the hour, Ocean and I were on the road. The anticipation between us was intense. We didn’t talk much, just the occasional laugh or comment about how beautiful the night looked.
