Sorry it took so long. I got my wisdom teeth out before Christmas, and I was too jacked up from all the meds. But, Merry late Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or whatever. Have an awesome New Year guys.

"Jared, I don't see why you can't go to Hawaii with us," I groaned,
"Em, look, I want to, but I have to visit my dad. And I miss home." Jared pleaded,
"This isn't fair," I said, hoping my deluxe pout would work.
"C'mon babe, you know that the pouts always get me."
"Maybe I want you to come with me."
"Emma, no. I have to go,"
"I love you, but I really don't like you right now."
"Emma, don't be like that. I'll be in Hawaii, cuddling with you by Christmas."
"You better be." I said, kissing him goodbye.
December 23
I paced the floor of our suite.
"Jessie, where is he?" I asked,
"Jared is flying to California right now."
"Okay, it's just he said he'd be here by Christmas. That's in two days."
"Go outside Emma, enjoy the beach." Jessie told me,
I set up a spot on the beach, next to Luke, who was tanning with Ravi.
"Luke, why are you tanning with a shirt on?"
"Emma, poor Emma, I don't want Ravi to feel bad about his scrawny-ness."
"Not a word." Ravi said, pushing up his sunglasses.
"Hey beautiful lady, I'm Joey." A dorky guy said walking up to us.
"I have a boyfriend," I said, not really caring.
"Joey, stop making yourself look like an idiot! She has a boyfriend!" Another guy said, this one was around Ravi and Luke's age.
"Shut up Parker," Joey said, causing his voice to crack.
Jared is da bae: flying into hawaii rn. miss u beautiful
Em: miss u too. some guy is flirting with me
Jared is da bae: can i kill him
Jared is da bae: pleeeeeeeeeeease
Em: ill think about it
Jared is da bae: coolio
Jared is da bae: taking off see u in an hour
"Yes!" I yelled out,
"You'll go out with me?" Joey asked,
"No, Jared's an hour away."
"Cool, we'll get an Uber." Ravi said,
"Oh my God, I love getting Ubers. It's so much funner than flying the helicopter." Luke said, practically bouncing.
"You guys have a helicopter?" Parker asked,
"Yeah, don't you?" Luke asked,
"No, we're uh normal." Joey said,
"Ravi, Luke, and Emma Ross, our little sister Zuri is probably begging our nanny to get something." Ravi introduced us,
"What's next, a butler?" Parker asked,
"Yeah, Bertram, he's in the spa with Mrs. Kipling." Luke answered,
"They share a love of eating and being lazy."
Ravi got his phone out, and got us an Uber.
"It'll be here in like 10 minutes." Luke said, looking over at Ravi's phone.
"Can we come?" Parker asked, "Please Joey?"
"Alright, I guess scoping out the competition isn't too bad."
We got into the Uber, but it was filled with awkward silence.
Once we got to the airport, I saw Jared holding up a white sign that said: EMMA ROSS, THE LOVE OF MY LIFE.
I ran up to him and he pulled me in for a kiss.
"I missed you." I sighed,
"Bet I missed you more." Jared said, wrapping his arms around me.
"Your muscles feel more muscley. What did I tell you about stress working out?"
"But, my dad was all like you need to focus, and baseball is a distraction."
"You're hot either way, but soft muscley Jared is hotter."
"I'll be sure to eat extra cookies then."
"So, this is the other man." Joey said walking up to us.
"Please don't start this." I pleaded,
"More of a man than you." Jared snorted,
"Whoa, you're the Jared Prescott."
"I'm famous?"
"You're a three time Little League World Series champ, you're one of the greatest high school players like ever." Parker rambled,
"Okay there Parker, no need to go to the dark side." Joey said, while Jared took a baseball and one of his hats out of his duffle bag.
Jared signed the hat and ball and handed them to Parker.
"The hat's a little sweaty but, um here you go." Jared said, placing the hat on Parker's head.
"Dude, you are so freakin' cool." Parker said, kind of hugging Jared.
"We live with the guy and he hasn't given us anything that cool." Luke whined,
"Yeah, I give Ravi Swag Lessons, Luke you have girls begging to go out with you, and I'm Zuri's spokesperson." Jared protested,
"She fired me for you?" Luke asked,
"You have to admit, with the freckles and the baby blues we'd make a good team. But Zuri said, I appealed to like everyone."
"Speaking of Zuri, you should do the whole pay Zuri thing." I suggested,
"Do I have to?" Jared groaned,
"It makes me laugh." I smiled,
"You should pay Zuri Ross, because it makes me happy. Zuri is the awesomest, she takes checks, cards and cash, food, but not homework." Jared sang, and did a stupid dance along with it.
"It's pretty funny." Joey said in between laughs.
"What's weird is, you still look hot, no matter how stupid it is." I pointed out,
"So, Ms. Ross, I've got us some pretty sweet reservations, at a pretty awesome restaurant." Jared said, offering me his hand.
"Mr. Prescott, that sounds pretty fun, I'd love to go." I said, playing along.
"I'll pick you up at 6 Mrs. Prescott," Jared laughed, pecking my lips.
"I've gotta crash that dinner," Joey muttered, or he thought he did.
"Or you don't, because, I want to have a romantic dinner with my beautiful girlfriend." Jared suggested sarcastically,
Once we got out of the airport, a guy was playing the ukulele and it sounded beautiful.
"Emma Ross, may I have this dance." Jared said,
"Of course," I answered,
Jared twirled me, and we kind of slow danced.
Surprisingly, Jared wasn't a bad dancer. He wasn't the best, but at the same time, not too bad.
Joey cleared his throat,"Can we, um, you know, like get back to the resort?"
Jared shot him a look, dipped me, and we started back towards the Uber.
"You're really cute when you're jealous." I state, while Jared and I are on the couch watching Four Christmases.
"Jealous of what? I'm not jealous," Jared snorted,
"Of Joey flirting with me. It's kind of adorable. Your eyes get all icy and-" I start,
"Em, babe, why would I be jealous?" Jared asked,
"Jared, don't deny it." I said, my voice becoming serious.
"Fine, I'm kinda jealous. But, it's 'cause, you're gonna find a guy who's better than me. Smarter than me, better looking, sweeter, or something. And you'll leave me for that guy."
"I'm yours. Forever," I said, kissing his lips.
At first, he was kissing sort of stiffly, but then melted into the kiss.
Jared laid back to get comfortable, and wrapped his arms around me.
"I love you," Jared whispered.
"Love you too, J."
