"Come on Ximena! We have to get our shared pick of the rooms!" Keymora grinned and gripped my arms. She tugged me off the grassy sidewalk and out onto the humid air.

The apartments were two red, rectangular shaped buildings with a pool flat in the center. Two floors and about 12-15 doors per floor. There were cars and vans of the owners parked outside. Grass surrounded the outskirts.

Keymora grabbed my arm and a key card Brandon was holding, and bolted up the steps. I tripped over myself and flung myself up the steps to keep up with the tanned girl.

"I haven't seen Keymora run that fast in a long time." Nick poked fun at be me from the bottom of the steps.

"Trust me, I didn't want to run this fast either." I mumbled and readjusted my bra. Keymora giggles and looks for the number on the card.

Malu reached where we were standing and snarled, "Why are you getting so wild? The people who live here are trying to sleep."

"Lizard over here does have a point..." I pointed at the box braid girl.

"It's my first time sleeping in a motel!"

"And it's my first time not giving a fuck. Go to your room and sleep." Delilah sneered and whipped her hair behind her shoulders.

Brandon shook his head. "Don't tell me you guys are arguing again.."

"Nah, nah man." Nick, who was leaning on the railing, continued "Let them fight I was bored."

"Whatever, Im not going to watch this. It's always something new with these four."

"Fuck it, Im too tired to argue.." I mumbled and walked away. We opened the door to our room and Keymora instantly jumped onto the bed.

She quickly got off "I should've checked for bed bugs..."

She lifted up the mattress and started to check. She smiled at me and said we were all good. I smiled and lolled on the bed closest to the sliding panel.

Soon there was a knock on the door. We stopped and raised our eyebrows. Keymora got up and opened, not before grabbing a pan.

"Oh, it's just you..." she sighed and opened the door to where Zion was standing.

He hesitated before mumbling "....We need to talk"

"About what?" I crossed my arms.

"Should I leave or..."

"Yes, please." Zion begged.

"No stay." I went against him. Keymora looked between both of our eyes and sighed. She placed the pan down and took Zions key card.

"Might as well go and visit Edwin..." she grinned and closed the door.

Everything was quiet and the air got musty. I, who was still seated on my claimed bed, crossed my arms and legs. Zion slowly approached me and got down on one knee in front of me. My heart fluttered and he said two words I've been waiting to hear.

"I'm sorry..."
