Hello, my peeps. So these next couple of chapters are going to be in parts. I tried these type of sections before, but I think I got this one down because I've written the majority of it all ready! I know what is going to happen and when it's going to happen this time. Also, I like these next couple of chapters a lot. If you don't watch my YouTube (Misticalbabe123), then you wouldn't know that my family is mainly from Mississippi. I'm from Texas (Thank God), and honestly, I don't think I'd ever lived in Mississippi...no offense to you Mississippian people out there, I just...yeah, I'm not about Mississippi. Not to bash the state or anything, some of you guys are cool! Anyways, some of the OC's that will be introduced are based on my actual family members. It's kinda spin on how I view them.
I hope you guys enjoy these next couple of chapters. As always, I don't own any of the FSOG characters, but I do own the OC's involved!
March 2018, Spring Break part 1
"I can't wait to get to the hotel and take a good shower," Josh said stretching in his sit in the front of the SUV. The Rodriguez family, minus Jose, plus Teddy, had been driving for a whole day and some hours, getting to Hattiesburg Mississippi. They only had 4 hours left to get to their hotel, but everyone in the truck was starting to feel cramped. Camila sat up from her comfortable spot on Teddy's chest and stretched. Although he loved his girlfriend and loved when she cuddled with him; Teddy was slightly grateful because his arm was starting to getting numb. A whole ride of cuddling was starting to get exhausting. He watched her with curiosity, wondering what she was doing.
"We're only a couple hours away; we'll be there soon." Faith said looking in the rear view mirror noticing the teens were starting to wake up.
"Can we stop at a gas station, I have to pee…" Camila said in a soft voice. She rubbed her eyes slowly and sniffled softly. She looked at her mom waiting for an answer.
"Yeah, I should get more gas anyways." Faith said. Camila looked out the window watching the trees fly by. She then looked at Teddy as he sipped some of his water. She yawns softly as she watched him. Putting his water down, he looked up at her. He half smiled and stuck his tongue out. She pouts playfully. He grinned, then his opened his arm to her. She smiled and cuddled against him again. He pulled the covers that they were using them and held her close once they were both comfortable. He closed his eyes again, letting her natural scent and breathing takin him into a blissful slumber.
Around 6 in the morning, the family had stopped at a Chervon to do what they needed to. While Faith got her gas, along with William who was making friendly conversation with her, the four teens walked towards the entrance of the store.
"I was out." Derrick said as the teens walked into the fancy looking Chervon. Derrick was about the same hieght was Josh, aroun 5'8. He was light skinned and had a curly fade on his head. He wore a black shirt and sweats. He grinned goofily at, who he considered, his best friend. Josh, who had his dreads pulled into a high ponytail and wore sweats and a black shirt, laughing at his friend.
"I know, I took a picture of you." He teased and laughed harder when Derrick looked horrified.
Teddy, who was sporting Nike shorts, not minding his mechanical leg showing, a thin head ban going around the edge of his head to keep his growing bangs out his eyes, as well as a Nike shirt, grabbed Camila's hand, entwining their fingers. She young girl felt her heart flutter as she blushed.
Camila was wearing sweat capris and a short sleeved shirt. Her hair pulls into a bun. She held Teddy's hand as they followed the younger teens into the store.
"I'm gonna pee," Camila said looking up at her love, not noticing the creep truck driver who watched her hips swing as she walked by. Theo, however, saw the whole thing and glared at a trucker. The trucker smirked at Teddy, before turning away. He huffed, he didn't like that one bit. Not only was Camila under age, but the fact that he didn't care Teddy was there threw the teen off. He was creepy, and Teddy didn't trust him. Camila cocked her head and cupped his face to make him look at her. He blinked and kissed her hand.
"Did you hear me?" She asked. Teddy nodded in response.
"I should stand outside the door." He decides.
"Why?" She asked raising a brow.
"Because we're in a different stare and I don't want anything to happen to you. That trucker was weird." He said seriously. She smiled softly before grabbing his hand and walked toward the bathrooms.
"Aww, worries someone might try to snatch me?" She teased swinging their hand.
"Dude, that's so serious. You're gorgeous, young and a female. You're a kidnappers treasure." Teddy said as they walked to the back where the bathrooms were. "Human trafficking is a thing you know. These truckers could be pulling a whole female slave cargo. You never know. I refuse to let anything happen to you." Teddy stated seriously.
"I'm also fat; no one is gonna want me." She argued, brushing him off. He rolled his eyes, wondering why she was so naive.
"Where is that fat?" He asked.
"Have you seen my thighs?"
"Yes, and quite frankly, someone would kidnap you because of that. They're attached to your ass with is quite magnificent. Now take your time and pee. I gotta go too...do you have your phone?" He asked. Once they got to the bathrooms.
"Yes, Dad." She rolled her eyes. He frowned and cupped her face. She looked up and blushed at the sincerity and love he held in his blue grey eyes.
"I just don't want anything bad to happen to you ok?" He said. "I don't know what I'd do if something like that happened." She looked at him and smiled.
"I love you." She said cutely. He smiled and pecked her lips before watching her go into the bathroom before he went to pee fast. While in the bathroom, he took the time to appreciate the fact that it was sparkling clean. It smelt like apple cinnamon, instead of pee and poop.
After washing his hands, he came out and stood by the girl's bathroom. He looked at his phone and texted in the family group chat: Anastasia, Christian, Phoebe, and Cameron, that they were at a gas station. He didn't expect a reply, so he put his phone back in his pocket. He looked up when he heard foot steps walking he was. He frowned at the Creepy Trucker who came into the hall. He frowned seeing Teddy as well, he rubbed his beard and walked passed teddy to the men's bathroom. Teddy glared, but then relaxed with Camila came out smiling softly. She felt refreshed and happy. She giggled and hugged him.
"My knight in shinning in Nike gear." She teased making him laugh softly. He held her hand walking out the hall, wanting to get away from the bathrooms. They walk to the snack aisle.
"I want hot Cheetos with lime." She said looking at the chips. Teddy took the time to record her on Snapchat.
"Baby?" He said making her look then pout.
"Teddy, why you gotta do me like this man? I look like a whole pumpkin."
"You're my pumpkin." He grinned at her, making her giggle.
"You flirt." She said grabbing the chips.
"You Beauty." He countered making her blush and ignore him. He laughed putting his phone up. She walks away to go to the drinks, only to bump into the truck driver.
"Oh sorry." She said backing up.
"No problem pretty lady." He said looking at her. Teddy glared and walked behind her. The truck driver scowled.
"Might want to keep your watch dog on a longer leash." He grumbled before walking away. Teddy glared and huffed before embracing Camila as she walked to the drinks. Unfazed, She grabbed a Vanilla Coke and stood.
"Teddy…" She said when his grip tightens on her.
"Babe was creepy." He said in her ear, before letting her go gently.
"I know but still…" she sighed and turned to look up at him. He looked around seeming upset. "Baby," she stepped closer to him. He looked at her. "Let's get you something to eat so we can cuddle again." She said with a smile. He half smiled and nodded. He grabbed a smart water, then the couple made their way to the register.
"Ooo, we should get a scratch off ticket." She said looking in the clear case. Teddy chuckled.
"I've never played." He said. "Get one." He said smiling. They decided to get two $2 versions.
"Can we return these to any store?" He asked the cashier.
"Yeah! As long as they sell it," The cashier said with a smile as she rang up their other things. "That will be $7.50"
"Let's see if we can check in." Faith said as they pulled up to the Courtyard by Marriot. Their hotel looked fancy, with pillars and nicely trimmed bushes.
"Do you think they have a pool?" Camila asked still leaning against Teddy.
"Hopefully." He said looking around. He noticed Williams SUV behind them. He was suddenly happy Christian had told William to come. If he couldn't get to Camila, if that man had tried something, William would have. Sighing, Teddy realized how much that Truck driver bothered him. It was the way he looked at Camila made his good mood vanished. It was like he was checking her out, but not in a normal "oh she's cute" way, but in a way that made his skin crawl. It was like he was trying to find an opportunity to get her alone. Teddy pulled her closer, closing his eyes, swallowing the lump that formed in his throat. Camila smiled at him holding her and cuddled into his chest more.
"Your arms isnt tired. You two have been laying on each other this whole ride." Derick said looking over the middle seat where Camila and Teddy sat.
"I'm fine," Teddy said, clearing his throat, as Camila looked up at him hoping she wasn't crushing him.
"You know they are gonna be looking at you two crazy. We're in the south, plantations south." Derrick said making Camila frown. Josh looked back to listen to them.
"I don't care what people have to say about us. If they have a problem they can trip." She said cuddling more into Teddy.
"All the way down the stairs," Teddy added as Faith came back.
"Check in isn't until noon, we got an hour to kill. Want ihop?" She asked she looked at her kids.
"Sure." Camila said.
"Hi, welcome to IHop, for 6?" The Hostess asked looking at the family, including William.
"Yes." Faith said.
"So did you go to college?" Josh asked William as the group followed the hostess.
"Yeah, at first I was majoring in Design, but then I changed to Criminal Justice." He said as he pulled out a chair for Faith. She thanked him as Teddy did the same for Camila. She blushed and thanked Teddy with a kiss on his cheek when he said next to her.
"Chicks really do like stuff like that." Derrick said noticing Faiths smile and Camila's blush.
"Of course. There is nothing like being chivalrous." Teddy said. "Being a gentleman is like, so important when trying to get a girl."
"I'll remember that." Derrick grinned making Teddy chuckle.
"Hi, I'm Vivienne. What can I start Y'all off to drink with today?" A woman who had her blonde hair pulled into a high ponytail said. Her blue eyes scanned her table, as she gave a friendly smile.
"Can I have a coffee." Faith said.
"Same." William and Teddy said.
"I'll have an apple juice please." Camila said looking up at the women that seemed to be maybe six years older than herself.
"Of course, and for you two?" She asked Josh and Derrick.
"Can I have a Sprite." Derrick said.
"Is Sierra Mist ok?" She asked. Derrick made a face making Vivienne laugh.
"Uh, can I just have an orange juice instead."
"Of course, and you sir?"
"Can I have a sweet tea?"
"Of course..." she wrote their drink orders down. Then looked up. "Any appetizers?" She asked.
"No, we're fine." Faith said. When everyone shakes their head.
"Ok, I'll be right back with the drinks." She said before walking away.
"I want to major in Criminal Justice. Do you think Mr. Grey will let me do a ride along with you?" Josh asked William. William looked thoughtful.
"It's possible. I don't see why not. What is it that you want to do?" William asked, seeming very interested in the boy.
"I want to be a police or guard like you." Josh said.
"Do you carry a gun?" Derrick asked softly.
"Yes, after an incident that happened 18 years ago, Taylor requires us too." Teddy perked up.
"What happened 18 years ago?" He asked.
"Uh... if they didn't tell you, I'm not sure if I should..." William cringed, regretting opening his mouth.
"Cmon, I won't tell." Teddy said smiling. William debated telling Teddy that his mother almost died protecting his Aunt Mia, but thankfully Vivienne brought over the drinks.
"Were you ready to order?" She asked once all the drinks and straws were passed out.
"Oh, we were so busy talking we didn't even look at the menu." Faith said.
"Well take your time." Vivienne giggled and walked away.
Teddy looked at the menu, not worried about the topic anymore.
Teddy helped carry the bags into the hotel room. He placed them on the floor next to the couch, then sat on the couch. He sighed softly, debating if he should get his own room. He looked around at how small the room was when all their bags basically took up half the room. Or he could upgrade them to a suite. He didn't mind paying the difference. He watched everyone thinking. Faith came out the bathroom and noticed him.
"You ok Theo?" Faith asked noticing him quiet and not by her daughter who was plugging up her phone to the charger.
"I was just thinking if we could get an upgraded room. I wouldn't mind paying the difference." He stated.
"I couldn't let you do that. That's your money." She said with hesitation.
"But we're so cramped in here. I could at least try." He said standing up. The two youngest boys watched as Camila stood too.
"Want me to go with you?" Camila asked smiling.
"If you want to." He said he held his hand out for her to grab. She took it without hesitation and smiled up at him.
"If it's too much then this is fine." Faith said. Teddy nodded half smiling. He opened the door for Camila, and they walked out to the elevator.
"Bidi bidi bom bom." Camila sang softly in Spanish to herself as they waited for the elevator. Teddy hugged her from behind and kissed her cheek as she sang.
"Me canta asi, asi." Camila giggled then stepped in threw the doors of the elevator door. She cupped his face and pulled him toward her in the corner. The elevator closed as she put her arms around his neck. "You're so handsome." She said as she checked him out. She the bit her bottom lip at his smirk.
"Are you trying to butter me up?" He leaned closer to her. She smiled flirtishly.
"Maybe." She licked her lips as he chuckled leaning down more to kiss her. Since she wasn't wearing any makeup, he could feel how soft her lips really were. The elevator dinged making the two blush and pull away from each other. Teddy offered the blushing girl his hand, and she took it again.
Walking out the elevator, the two headed towards the lobby where a computer lap, a bar, and the breakfast area was. As well as the check-in desk.
"Hi, how can I help you?" A women with orange hair said to Teddy as he and Camila approached the front desk.
"Hi, we're in room 410, I was wondering if there were any suites or something available to hold six people." Camila let go of his hand, making him watch, as she went to look at the coffee bar. Teddy, then, leaned on the desk as the ginger, ironically named Ginger, looked on her computer. Teddy looked around and looked at Camila who was looking at the cereal options. He shook his head with a half smile.
"Would you like the room for the same five nights?" She asked making him look at her.
"Yes please." He said.
"Ok, we have a master suite that has a full kitchen, minus stove, two queens a sofa bed and two bathrooms...is that something you'd like?" She looked up at him with suggestive eyes. She bats her eyes at him. He cleared his throat wondering why a grown woman was hitting on him.
"Uh, the room. Yes. I'll pay whatever the difference is." He said standing up straight.
"Ok, that's $437.45," she said. He gave her his credit card.
"Theodore Grey. That name sounds familiar." She said reading the card. "Cute name." She giggled.
"Thank you. I was named after my grandfather." He stated, being polite.
"Oh, that's thoughtful of your parents." She grinned flirtishly as she handed the card back. "Just sign these forms, and I'll get your receipt." She said. Teddy took the pen from her hand and read over the contract, before signing. He put the pen down, and she went to the copy machine, as Camila walked over and grabbed his hand. He entwined their fingers, and he brought her hand up to kiss it.
"Everything ok?" She asked.
"Yup, we got the room." He said gently. She smiled up at him.
"You are something else."
"You think your mom will let us sleep together?" Teddy teased, although was kind of hopeful.
"Not on your life." Camila laughed as Ginger returned. She frowned seeing Camila but smiled at Teddy again.
"Ok, y'all will be on the top floor in room 720."
"Thank you, ma'am. I'll bring the other keys." He said taking the new keys and the receipt. "Oh yeah, do you have a pool and gym?" He asked.
"Yes, it's down this hall," she said pointing to her right.
"Thank you." He nodded. "Let's go love." He said to Camila who smiled and followed him.
"Wow!" William said walking into the much bigger room. It was nicely designed with earthy colors: Black marble, tan and beige wood and blues. The beds had a beautiful blue comforter while the wood was a beautiful dark oak color.
"Wow indeed." Faith said. Camila giggled and walked in smiling brightly.
"Remind me to let Teddy pick all the rooms." His girlfriend said as he sat on the couch. This time happy to take off his leg and relax. He rubbed it gently getting the blood flowing.
"It's much better in here." Teddy said sitting back watching everyone buzz around. Camila, putting her phone on the charger and setting her side of the bed up, as the boys plugged the PlayStation up.
After unpacking, or at least fixing everything they wanted to set, they started relaxing. Faith decided to take a quick nap.
After getting into sleeping clothes, Teddy pulled out the bed that was inside of the couch, deciding to take a nap as well. The younger boys closed the curtains and were playing their game silently. Teddy grabbed his phone and texted his parents, then got on social media, lazily strolling. Coming out the bathroom in shorts and a big shirt, Camila took off her shoes and climbed into the bed with him. He looked at her from his phone.
"I'm sure it will be ok if I took a nap with you." She said softly. He half smiled and opened the covers for her. She cuddled into his chest and closed her eyes. Teddy put his phone down and pulled the covers more around them, then touched his foot to hers.
"Your foot is cold." She giggled.
"I know, that's why I'm trying to warm it up." He said rubbing feet with her. She giggled again, then relaxed cuddling him. He yawned and closed his eyes. Although, he felt like he had to open them just a couple seconds later, though it had been 2 and a half hours. He opened his eyes slightly to see Camila sitting up and stretching. Before she could stand he grabbed her wrist, making her look back at him.
"What's wrong?" He asked tiredly watching his girlfriend.
"I gotta pee." She said. He nodded, letting her hand go and relaxed again. He closed his eyes and sighed; He missed her warmth and knew he wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep until she came back. So he grabbed his phone. He looked at Twitter than Facebook. He looked up from his phone to look at Derrick and Josh who were knocked out too. He peered at the bathroom when he heard the toilet flush and the water running.
Walking out of the fancy bathroom, Camila laid back down with Teddy and curled to his chest. She looked up at him and kissed his lips before they both shifted until they were both comfortable and warm.
Teddy awakened again when Camila kissed his lips. He kissed her back but opened his eyes. She smiled at him.
"Wake up; we're going to my aunt's house." She said standing over him. She was dressed in overalls and a white shirt.
"Ok," he sat up and stretched. She giggled and ran her fingers in his messy hair. The corner of his mouth went upwards as he enjoyed the feeling.
