"Rise and shine, babe!"

"Ok honey, but I don't think Marisol is going to like you calling me that."

"Shut up Jake."

Katie opened her eyes and listened to their conversation. The blankets above her shuffled and she turned to see Jake sitting up. She smiled at the memory…

The two of them slowly opened the door to their room, hoping Mo and Marisol were sleeping. The lights were off and a faint snoring could be heard. They quickly changed into their pajamas and realized that Mo and Marisol occupied one bed.

"Uh, I can take the floor…" Jake started to move.

"Don't," Katie grabbed his hand, "Please."

He hesitated, "Are you sure?"

She just moved towards the bed and brought him along. They got settled and kept close, never letting go.

Marisol noticed Katie, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Mare," she replied back.

"So did you two…" Mo lifted his eyebrows repeatedly.

"No, no," Jake got up, "But we know you two left the party pretty early…"

The couple just looked at each other and smiled, earning a groan from both Jake and Katie. They spent a few minutes lounging around the hotel room until they decided it was time for lunch. They chose a diner across the street, going for something cheap.

"Are you sure you don't want to come with us to Los Angeles?" Mo asked Jake.

His best friend shook his head, "I'll let you and Marisol have some alone time."

"I can't believe we leave tomorrow," Marisol looked sad, "This vacation went by too fast."

Katie nodded, "Thanks for visiting me, you guys."

"We'll be back again," Mo said, "This place is great."

"Who knows," Jake looked at her, "Maybe I'll come here for school like you suggested."

"I'd really like that," Katie couldn't hide her excitement.

Lunch continued on with light conversation as they reminisced on the past couple of days, the plans Mo and Marisol had in Los Angeles, the tasks Jake had to complete, and an email from Katie's supervisor asking her to come back to work. They were at the diner for almost two hours until they decided to explore the street and buy last minute souvenirs.

After a few more hours exploring, the four of them headed back to the hotel so Mo and Marisol could pack. Jake left the room to arrange his flight plans with his dad since he was leaving tomorrow. Katie decided to make a phone call of her own and spent the next hour talking to Maya. Both she and Jake found themselves in the lobby after their conversations.

"Would you really be ok with me coming here next year?" Jake asked.

"Of course," she answered quickly.

There was a silence that followed them and they watched people walking in an out of the lobby.

"I miss you."

"I'm sorry."

He gave her a look, "What?"

"About Vegas, about the way I treated you," Katie started to speak fast, "I know it happened months ago but sometimes I'm just reminded of what happened between us and how it's my fault and I feel guilty all over again. I got so caught up on the money that I ended up losing someone that meant more to me than any of that –"

"Katie, it's ok," Jake enveloped her into a hug, "It's ok… We're ok."

She tried to calm her breathing, "We are?"

He nodded above her head, "If we weren't, I wouldn't have come on this trip."

Jake grabbed her chin, "I've missed you… More than a friend should."

"I've missed you too," she breathed out.

He brought Katie's face closer to his and kissed her tentatively. She didn't hesitate in responding back as her hands moved to his shoulders. They remained lip locked for a few minutes, letting themselves enjoy the sweetness of the kiss.

"Ugh, and you thought we were annoying," Marisol's voice interrupted them.

They pulled away and were met with the smiling faces of Marisol and Mo. Katie and Jake remained frozen in their spots, unsure of what to say to each other.

Marisol playfully rolled her eyes and grabbed her best friend, "Come on, we have one evening left in San Francisco. Let's make it a good one."

As Katie got up from her seat, she felt Jake grab her hand and follow her.

"Do you" – kiss – "really" – kiss – "to go?" Katie pouted.

Jake laughed into her lips, "Afraid so" – kiss – "But I'll be back" – kiss – "Soon."

"Not soon enough," she mumbled, "I guess I'll keep busy with school."

"That's my girl," he said.

She grabbed his hand, "Let me know when your plane takes off?"

He nodded, "We'll Skype as soon as I get home."

They shared another kiss as he let go of her hand and started to walk towards the line. There was a feeling of doubt that suddenly took over Katie. She tried to hide it and kept her eyes on Jake. As he continued to move, she took some deep breaths.

It's going to be ok. If he looks back, then you'll know it's worth it.

The attendant looked over Jake's documents and nodded. He continued to walk and Katie clutched on to her bag. Slowly, he turned around and smiled. It was a smile reserved for her – it was small, nervous, and barely showed his teeth but his eyes examined her.

Suddenly, all of Katie's worries disappeared and she smiled back.
