“Yesterday will forever be my favorite day,” he whispered and kissed the crown of my head.

“My favorite days will be the ones you are in.”

“Awe, you two are so disgusting,” said a black-haired girl, who was leaning against the door frame chewing on her gum with her mouth wide open.

“I would consider the way your gum is almost falling out of your mouth more disgusting,” Kayden replied before he took the wipe out of my hand and began to clean my face.

“No no, personally, find you two far more disgusting,” she replied and walked inside the room, laying down on the bed Kayden and I had slept on.

We continued to get ready, and I grabbed some fresh clothes to change into in the bathroom. Kayden followed, holding some clothes in his hand.

“It’s the second time I met some asshole here,” he growled and began to change. I quickly turned around, making him chuckle.

“Don’t worry, I don’t mind.”

“But I do, let’s start slowly, alright?”

“Whatever you want, Fleur.” He kissed the back of my head, making me turn around again to change myself, too. I lifted my head to see Kayden turned around, and I smiled, I liked that he didn’t pressure me.

We grabbed our stuff after we had changed and left.

“Have a beautiful day too!” black-haired girl called after us sarcastically, but we didn’t answer.

Kayden had left the keys on Caitlin’s bed.

“Où étais-tu?!” my cousin almost yelled in French.

“English please.” Theo asked her, but I translated for him, “Where have you been?”

My cousin tends to speak French when she gets upset, just like I enjoyed cursing in French. Being bilingual was fun.

“Don’t you translate me! You don’t have a clue how scared I was for you!” Autumn was overreacting, and she was enjoyed it because she had to hide that little grin of hers.

“Calm down Mom, we slept in Caitlin’s room last night,” Kayden scoffed beside me and handed Theo his bags.

“I hope for you that you didn’t have sex with my poor innocent cousin.”

“Autumn!” I scowled at her.

“I have to make sure, okay? I’m the eldest here, I have to at least try to act it.”

Kayden smiled at her. “I didn’t have sex with yourpoor innocent cousin, butdid other things with saidpoor innocent cousin.”

“I knew it!” she yelled like she just won the lottery or something.

I buried my face in my hands. Just then, some students who were cleaning looked up at us.

“She bet fifty dollars on you two,” Theo explained and handed Autumn the money.

“You two bet on us?” Kayden asked.

“Yes, and I won.” My cousin grinned and stuffed the money in her the pocket of the jeans.

“You two are unbelievable.”

“You can believe me because you just saw me handing her the money I just lost.”

“Metaphor,” whispered Kayden, and Theo nodded.
