(The next morning, everyone started to wake up in the living room. Nat and Allie had made it back inside last night and laid near their friends. Nat was in his spot on the couch, laying down, sound asleep on his stomach. He was the only one who hadn't started moving. Everyone else sits up, stretching, yawning, and groaning.)
Danny: Holy shit.. *touches his head* What time is it?
Malia: *looks at her phone, yawning* 12 pm.
David: Damn..! It's already the afternoon?.?
Malia: *nods, stretching*
Thomas: Shit. What a night. *rubs his head*
Copper: *chuckles* An epic night.
Danny: Without a doubt, Coop. *chuckles*
Kristina: Shit. How much did we drink last night? *rubbing her head*
Tara: We were pretty fucked up.
Cooper: Coffee, anyone?
Everyone: Yes, please.
Cooper: *chuckles, gets up, and goes to make coffee*
Kade: What's on the agenda for today?
Danny: Hockey, remember?
Kade: Oh yeah.! Ok.
Kristina: Hockey?
Danny: Yeah. Hockey is our shit. *chuckles* You girls can come if you want.
Kristina: Why not? *chuckles* I'm not doin' shit today.
Tara: I'm down.
The Girls: Yeah.
Brionna: Sounds like you guys have the whole weekend planned out.
Danny: We do. *chuckles*
Shelby: Do you guys have this penthouse all weekend?
Danny: Yeah. Again, you guys are welcome to chill with us. By the way, there's like 8 showers in here. So, you guys can get freshened up whenever.
Sienna: Sweet
Qaasim: *rubbing his head* Damn. Cooper, let's make that coffee quick. I think I'm slowly dying.
Everyone: *laughs*
(Cooper gets the coffee made and pours everyone a cup.)
Danny: We plan on heading out for hockey, within the next hour.
Kristina: What about.. *points to Nat and chuckles* The baby is in a coma.
David: Is he still fuckin' sleep?
Malia: He was probably up most of the night. Probably in the pool. You guys know he's nocturnal. Leave him alone. Let him sleep for a little bit longer.
David: Alright.
(Nat moans in his sleep and turns to lay on his side, still sleeping. Allie notices something massive bulging from his grey cotton shorts and immediately does a spit take, then immediately starts coughing, choking a bit.)
Kristina: Are you ok?.? *patting her back*
Allie: *nods, still coughing, still staring at the massive bulge from Nat's shorts, in total shock*
Kristina: Went down the wrong pipe? *still patting Allie's back*
Allie: *nods again, still staring at Nat's shorts*
(The massive bulge in Nat's shorts moves and rises a bit more, as he starts moving again, turning to lay on his back. Allie's eyes go even wider and her heart rate increases rapidly. She even begins sweating a bit, and immediately gets red in the face.)
Allie: Excuse me!.! *jumps up and immediately runs to the bathroom*
Danny: Is she alright?.?
Kristina: I don't know. I'm gonna go check. *gets up and runs to check on Allie*
Malia: O.k? That was fucking weird. *shakes her head, squinting, and sips her coffee*
(Allie had remained in the bathroom for a while, to relieve herself. When she finally came back out, Nat was awake. He was downing a bottle of water. Everyone gets moving and they clean up, take showers, and get dressed for the day. They leave the hotel and head to the ice rink. Everyone goes inside and the guys get ice skates, hockey sticks, pads, helmets, and sweatshirts. The girls sit in the stands to watch. The guys have a good ass time playing rounds of hockey, and the girls enjoy watching. After a few hours, they left the ice rink to get something to eat at Outback Steakhouse. After they eat, they go back to the hotel and the guys train the girls in beer pong, while they all enjoyed drinks again. Eventually, they had crashed asleep in the living room again, while watching scary movies. Sunday morning, they woke up, checked out of the hotel, and went out to breakfast together. They're at IHOP.)
Kristina: This weekend was killer. You guys are awesome.
The Girls: Yeah!
Malia: Well I could've told you guys that.
Kristina and Her Friends: *laugh*
Danny: *chuckles* Well, thanks, girls. We're glad you enjoyed our company. We were happy to have you.
Brionna: What are you guys up to today?
Danny: Well, most of us have some errands to knock out. But, if you guys aren't doing anything later, we're all gonna go out on the water, on Nat's boat, to watch the supermoon. Have some beers, play some music, do some fishing.
Malia: And some surfing. *grins at Nat*
Nat: *smiles his cute, shy smile, and fist bumps Malia*
Danny: That, too. *chuckles*
Tara: I totally forgot the supermoon was tonight! That'd be awesome to watch it, out on the ocean!
Danny: I'm sure Natty Boy wouldn't mind you guys coming.
Nat: *shrugs, with his shy smile*
Danny: That means he doesn't mind. *chuckles*
Tara: Awesome!
Kristina: You have a boat?.?
Nat: *just nods, with a shy smile*
Porscha: Kinda makes sense, considering who your family is.. What's it like having parents like that?
Nat: *shrugs* I mean, they're the same as any other parents. They just have good careers.
Porscha: Well, yeah. You're right. I'm sorry.
Nat: It's ok. And, by the way, they're not the ones who bought my boat. I did. It was a present to me, from me.
Porscha: Oh.
Brionna: How in the hell did you- -?
Nat: It's just this little side hustle, type thing. *shrugs* It's boring nerd stuff.
Brionna: No, no. I wanna hear about it.
Tara: I definitely do. Your 3 majors are awesome.
Nat: *shy chuckle* Thanks.
Tara: What is it you do?
Nat: Um.. I make a lot of interesting tech. And..it gets a lot of interesting buyers.
Tara: Holy shit. So, you're like a underground, private contractor?
Nat: *nods*
Tara: That is so boss!
Nat: *chuckles shyly and blushes a bit* Yeah, I'm definitely underground. Some of the stuff I make isn't exactly legal.
Tara: Oh, that's even more badass.
Nat: *chuckles and sips his orange juice*
Brionna: That's definitely not boring.
Nat: *chuckles again* But, yeah. You guys are more than welcome to hang with us on the boat.
Kristina: I'm pretty sure we'll be there.
Danny: Cool. Lookin' forward to it.
(They finish up breakfast and everyone leaves. The Guys head off to do their errands. Nat had to go to his lab, at the school. He's sitting at his workstation, on his laptop, when he gets an email from Allie.)
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Hey, you there?
ExperienceAndBeer21: Yeah. What's up?
ArticulateAndBlushing22: You busy right now?
ExperienceAndBeer21: Kinda, sorta. I'm at the lab, taking care of some things. Why?
ArticulateAndBlushing22: I was hoping I could see you.
ExperienceAndBeer21: Didn't we just have breakfast this morning? Lol.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Lol, I meant just the two of us. I know we just had breakfast this morning, but that was with everyone there.
ExperienceAndBeer21: Lol. Sorry, but I don't think we're gonna get any one-on-one time today. We're pretty busy with the lab. But, I'll see you tonight, if you're gonna be with your friends on Poseidon.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: I'll be there. And :( I really wanted to hang out.
ExperienceAndBeer21: I know. I'm sorry. Also, I'm gonna be gone next week, so don't be lookin' for me.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: What? Why?
ExperienceAndBeer21: I'm sorry, but I have a conference to go to, in northern California. I can't miss it.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: *bunch of sad face emojis*
ExperienceAndBeer21: I'm sorry. Don't be sad. You'll be alright.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: *pouty emoji* No I won't be. I hate not seeing you!
ExperienceAndBeer21: Think of it this way. Maybe you and Kristina can have a bonding week. She really misses hanging out with you, Allie. Since I won't be around to distract you, now you can sweeten things up between you guys.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: I guess you're right.
ExperienceAndBeer21: Yeah. Just find something to do with her. We'll hang out again soon. I have to go. See you later.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Wait..!
ExperienceAndBeer21: What's wrong?
ArticulateAndBlushing22: I can't stop thinking about Friday night…
ExperienceAndBeer21: ...Neither can I. But, unfortunately, there's no time to talk about it right now. I really have to go.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Ok.. See you later.
ExperienceAndBeer21: See you later.
(Allie closes her laptop and collapses on her bed feeling frustrated. Later, that night, Nat and his friends met up with Kristina and the girls. They all board his boat, and he takes off. He goes out a few miles, before he finally stops the boat. He let's his anchor down and Qaasim turns on some music. They do some fishing and the guys helped Allie and her friends catch a few. They drink, talk, do some swimming, and Malia, and the guys did some surfing. When the supermoon was finally in the sky, they just drank beers, stared at the moon, and talked amongst each other. They even took a few pictures together. Nat and Allie didn't get any close time with each other, but they did look at each other a lot, throughout the night. After a few hours, Nat drove his boat back to shore, and everyone went home. The next day, Nat left out of town, to go to his conference. While he was gone, Allie missed him like crazy, but she went on ahead and took his advice, and spent time with Kristina. Things got better between them, however Kristina was still a little worried about her. Nat returned to Miami, after a week had passed, but Allie didn't know he was back yet. When he did get back, it was right on time for Kade's birthday party. Kade's birthday is on Halloween, so he was having a Halloween bash, at a large cabin house, in the woods. Everyone dressed in costumes. Allie went as Catwoman and her costume was super sexy. Nat, of course, went as Batman, and his costume was super awesome. Although, Allie didn't know Nat was dressed as batman, until he scared her while she was out on the balcony, looking up at the sky. Nat had climbed on the roof and used a rope to hang upside down, and creep down to Allie. He was hanging like Spider-Man. Allie had screamed when he popped down in front of her face. Nat laughed. When Allie recognized his laugh, she asked if it was him, and Nat replied with "I am Batman" in his best Christian Bale voice. Allie giggles and laughs, and goes to hug his face. After a minute, she pulls away, and holds his face in her hands. They gaze at each other through their masks..)
Nat: You know Batman had a thing for Catwoman, right? *cute grin*
Allie: *giggles and nods* Mhmm.
Nat: So, that means you totally wore this costume on purpose. *cute grin*
Allie: *giggles and nods again* Mhmm.
Nat: And you intentionally bought it that sexy, knowing that such things excite me. *cute grin*
Allie: *giggles and nods again* Mhmm.
Nat: *chuckles* Also, I am aware that I am Batman, hanging like Spider-Man.
Allie: *giggles, laughs, and nods* Mhmm.
Nat: *chuckles, with a cute grin* And.. From the way you're still looking at me.. We're totally about to kiss again, aren't we?
Allie: *giggles and nods* Mhmm.
(Allie leans in holding his face, and presses her lips against his. Nat slowly kisses back. She follows his pace, kissing him nice and slow. Soon, they're making out romantically. Later on, after the party, Nat is laying in his bed at home, scrolling through his phone, when he gets an email from Allie.)
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Hey, Batman.
ExperienceAndBeer21: Catwoman. Always a pleasure. Up and out in the night, are we?
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Lol. Just up. What about you?
ExperienceAndBeer21: Up as well. Can't yet sleep. What has your mind so active?
ArticulateAndBlushing22: I'm sure you have an idea.
ExperienceAndBeer21: Thinkin' about the party?
ArticulateAndBlushing22: I'm thinking about us at the party.
ExperienceAndBeer21: Lol That's more specific.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Can I see you tomorrow?
ExperienceAndBeer21: Umm…. Actually.. Don't get upset, but..
ArticulateAndBlushing22: But what? *suspicious emoji*
ExperienceAndBeer21: I have to go out of town again.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: What? Again? Why? You just got back! :(
ExperienceAndBeer21: I know. But it's my brother's birthday and we always celebrate for a week, somewhere. He chose to celebrate in The Maldives.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: So, you're gonna be gone for another week?
ExperienceAndBeer21: Yeah. And I have to leave tomorrow. I'm sorry.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: *bunch of sad face emojis*
ExperienceAndBeer21: Don't be sad. Come on. You'll barely notice I'm gone.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: I will definitely notice that you are gone! *pouty emoji*
ExperienceAndBeer21: Lol stop pouting. You'll barely be thinkin' about little ol' me.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Ok, first of all, you are nowhere near little. Second, I am ALWAYS thinking about you!
ExperienceAndBeer21: Lol. Ok. Jeez.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: I swear, you should totally owe me!
ExperienceAndBeer21: Lol. If it will make you feel better, fine. How about…we do a movie day, when I come back? At my dorm.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: What about Dylan?
ExperienceAndBeer21: Dylan will actually be going out of town, when I come back. We talked about each other's schedules, so that our dorm wouldn't be totally abandoned.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Ok then. It's a date :)
ExperienceAndBeer21: Ok then :) What kind of movies would you wanna watch?
ArticulateAndBlushing22: We could do..something scary or syfy.
ExperienceAndBeer21: I have a few titles in mind. Meanwhile, did you and Kristina hang out?
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Yes sir. We did. And I think it really helped. Thank you for the advice.
ExperienceAndBeer21: No problem. You guys really love each other. It should stay that way. No matter what you guys go through.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: You're totally right. And I do love her. Even if I have a funny way of showing it sometimes.
ExperienceAndBeer21: As long as she knows that, it's cool.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: I'm gonna be completely straightforward with you. Your wisdom and intelligence seriously turns me on.
ExperienceAndBeer21: Lmao. Thank you. That was seriously straightforward. It actually rattled me a bit. I wasn't ready for it.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Lmao. I'm sorry. I just really needed to get that off my chest.
ExperienceAndBeer21: Lol understandable. Still though, go easy on me. I'm still a shy guy.
ArticulateAndBlushing22: Lol. I know and I still love that about you.
ExperienceAndBeer21: *shy emoji*
ArticulateAndBlushing22: *love emoji*
(They continue talking, until they had fallen asleep..)
