"bubba... wake up." i softly shook sam awake.

as soon as i began driving us the rest of the way to our hotel, my baby passed out in the passenger seat. i don't know why she was so tired though, from what i know she's been well rested.

"sam, we're hereee." i dragged enthusiastically, hoping to trigger a reaction, which somewhat worked.

said girl sat up a bit, groaning softly, "we are?"

"yes, you fell asleep the rest of the way." i informed, pulling a piece of lint from her hair.

that seemed to make her more aware of reality because she sat up quickly, looking around the hotel and it's surroundings. i will admit, it was a pretty nice one for the price we paid, and i was excited to spend several days with her in it. maybe we can even-

"what floor we on?" she asked, staring up at the fifteen story building.

"the 11th," i smiled at her, "i know it's your favorite number."

"the 11th?! that's a high ass floor lani." camille exclaimed from the backseat, leaning up between the console. her previous spot next to asia now vacant, which made them scrunch their face.

"oh please, it's not that high up. you won't even be thinking about that once you see the rooms." i rolled my eyes, taking the key out of the ignition.

sam and asia quietly got out to get some of our things out the trunk. camille and i soon joined them, making our way up to the hotel entrance.

the hotel had one of those revolving doors, so we all got in our little sector to enter. it let us out and i led us to the check in/check out desk. since i booked the rooms under my name, i was the one to speak to the receptionist.

he gave us our room number and two keys, along with one of those luggage carrier things to take our stuff up. we loaded it one by one and finally headed up to the actual room.

i handed camille and asia their key before opening the door. like i said, the hotel was hella nice on the inside, it honestly looked even better than the pictures. there was a mini kitchen with black appliances and white countertops. the living room space had a white couch with black pillows and a throw blanket. the closets were big and so was the bathroom.

the bedroom was huge, with two queen sized beds sitting in the middle of it and a balcony. there wasn't too much furniture squeezed in so it was spacious.

"lani i have no idea how you got this room, but i'm not gonna question it." asia expressed with a chuckle.

i shook my head, "i couldn't tell you asia. the price wasn't too bad either, i guess i just got luck—"

sam pulled me into a hug mid-sentence, kissing me all over my face.

"chill out," i said, giggling. she gave in to my wishes and stopped, but not before pecking my forehead sweetly.

"alright! i planned for us to go get some food not too long after we arrived, maybe go walk around a mall or something too if y'all want." i checked the time and it was around 1pm, "we got here around the time i estimated, so y'all wanna do that?"

everyone nodded.

"okay. we can all freshen up and get dressed, then we'll head to this taco place i found."

"ouu tacos, i love tacos!" camille yelled from the bathroom. we laughed at her and all dispersed into different sections of the room to get ready.

sam and asia were deep in their suitcases finding outfits. i grabbed my toiletry and makeup back, joining camille in the bathroom. there were two sinks so we both could get ready at the same time. she had already washed her face and was starting on her makeup. i pulled out my skincare products and got started on the former.

"oh shit! i left my setting powder back at home." camille sighed, rummaging through her makeup bag.

"wait a minute, i think i brought mine—" i pulled it out of my bag, "here, you can use it. i don't even think i'm doing a full face tonight." i shrugged.

"thank god, i can't be out here looking oily." she grabbed it from me and i smirked.

"i know, you gotta look good for your boo."

camille nudged my shoulder, "lower your voice, whore."

"only for you." i winked at her and she rolled her eyes.

"anyways, that is not my boo, she don't even like me like that." i gave her a straight face.

"are you serious right now? they definitely like you, and she made it even more clear at the gas station when she threw that man's number away." i explained, shaking my head at her naivety.

"that don't mean they like me, she probably just thought he was a creep." camille shrugged.

"okay, keep telling yourself that girly." i laughed, grabbing my lipliner and lipgloss.

i will probably just put on some lashes and be done, i don't feel like doing my whole face.

"speaking of liking people, it's very apparent that you and sam are in love, it's really sick." she fake gagged.

"stop being a hater, that'll be you and asia soon." i grinned and turned towards the door, "bubs!"

i heard footsteps and sam's head soon peeked in the crack of the door, "yes?"

"can you bring me my pink and white outfit, please?" i asked, applying duo glue to my lashes.

"oh you wearin' that? hell yeah." she quickly went off to get it as i chuckled. camille was almost done getting ready as well.

"so, have you and sam did the nasty yet?" she asked casually, but intentionally lowered her voice.

"umm, we were close about a week ago, but i stopped her. it's not that i don't want to, i just wanna do it when i'm not in my head so much." i explained, a little bit embarrassed.

"girl don't be ashamed, you'll be ready when you're ready. i'm sure sam is fine with it, and if she not i will beat her ass, just say the word."

"beat who ass?" sam came in the bathroom, handing me my clothes.

"none of your business, get outtt." i dragged, playfully pushing her out.

"y'all finna change in here together?" she raised her eyebrows.

"yes, is that a problem?" i countered genuinely.

"no not at all, camille keep yo' hands off her."

"i'll try, but she just so sexy-" i clamped my hand over camille's mouth.

"she says of course, now get out." i stated, plastering a grin on my face.

sam left with a suspicious look on her face, and we finally were able to get dressed. i had on some light pink straight leg pants with the white skeleton print on the back, along with a small top that had a low neckline. i put my honey blonde faux locs in a high ponytail and pulled two out in the front. the only thing left to do was put on my shoes and get my purse.

camille stood next to me, dressed in a lavender midi dress that complimented her dark skin. her white thong heels were in her hand, and her hair was straightened to the bone.

"millie you look so fuckin good oh my god!" i grabbed her hand and spun her around. "and the body is givinggg, wow, asia finna drool." i could see her grin a little bit at my comment.

"bitch you talking 'bout me look at youuu, fine ass," and she smacked my butt.

"aht aht! y'all gotta come out." i heard sam yell from the room, assuming she heard us. we giggled and put our things back in our bags so the bathroom wouldn't get junky.

i opened the door so camille could go out first and i followed after her. sam was standing by our bed and she looked good as hell. her outfit was simple but the color combination of orange and cream looked so good on her. and the bandana and shades really did it for me.

i would've took longer to analyze her but the look she was giving me made my eyes wander.

i walked over to her nervously, feeling my stomach flutter. she just makes me nervous, in a good way of course.

"you look so damn good," she rasped, wrapping her arms around my waist.

i hid my face in her chest, "stopppp."

"stop? i ain't even did nothin' yet." she laughed. i looked up at her, not even trying to hide my smile.

"you lookin' at me like you wanna eat me." i stated. sam leaned down so she could speak in my ear, since asia and camille were literally across the room.

"maybe i do, would you let me?" she whispered, intertwining our hands.

the answer was yes, but i didn't necessarily know how to tell her that.

"so, how far is the taco place lani?" asia asked, saving me from having to answer the previous question.

i turned myself around in sam's arms, but she stayed wrapped around me, which i didn't mind at all.

"it's actually just down the street, and walking distance from the mall so we won't even need to drive much." i replied.

they nodded, "alright, y'all ready?"

"yeah," sam moved us toward the door and handed me my purse, "here."

i pecked her cheek as a thank you, which left a lip gloss stain on her face, but she couldn't seem to care less.

we made our way out of the room and back down the elevator together. sam wanted to drive so i sat in the passenger seat while asia and camille took the back. i could hear them giggling and talking, which was making my heart warm.

the taco place was not even ten minutes away so we got there in no time. across the street from it was an abc store that sam obviously noticed.

"y'all wanna stop at the abc store later?" she asked.

i shrugged, being that i didn't really like liquor like that. i did like making drink mixes with juice though, so it was whatever.

"hell yeah, i ain't had no tequila in awhile." camille replied.

now don't get me wrong, the girl had straight a's and was this close to becoming valedictorian, but she also went out and had her own fun from time to time.

"i'm down, you drink like that sam?" asia asked.

"not really, but it's my birthday so why not?" she shrugged.

"i know that's right, and lani you better turn up with us." camille commented, smirking at me through the rear view mirror.

"i don't know about that, but if we can get some blunts i'll definitely go up." i said because i would much rather be high than drunk.

"i can arrange that, you gon' let me get you lit?" sam asked, glancing over at me.

"of course, it's your birthday. whateva' you wanna do i'm wit it." i replied, giving a closed mouth grin. she sighed happily and shook her head at me.

"what?" i asked.

"nothin', i just love you."

"i love you too, now let's have fun." i smiled.
