Spring Break: Day One

"I got this icebox where my heart used to be!" I sang at the top of my lungs. I was piled in a truck Pozzi rented with him, Ethan, Alyssa, Yasmin, and Donny. We had touched down in Florida an hour before and were on the way to a hotel for our spring break vacation.

"I'm so cold, I'm so cold, I'm so cold!" Alyssa, Donny, and Ethan belted out the supporting vocals. Yasmin was recording us and Pozzi was nodding his head to the beat while he drove.

Halfway through the song, I looked out of the window. We were finally arriving at the hotel we'd be staying in for five days.

"We have arrived!" Pozzi called out and turned the music off. Everybody was all smiles when we pulled up in front of the inn. "Letting y'all off here. I'm gonna park after you have all of the bags and I'll meet you inside."

"Alright," Ethan said and opened his car door. I hopped out along with him and pulled my seat up to let Alyssa and Yasmin out of the back. Donny got out of the passenger's seat and we all grabbed our bags out of the trunk. Ethan closed the trunk and waved Pozzi off.

We all walked into the hotel and up to the front desk. Our room keys got assigned pretty quickly. Alyssa and Yasmin shared a room, Ethan and I shared one, and Pozzi and Donny had their own rooms. Pozzi ran inside a few minutes later and checked in right after us.

"So, what's first?" Yasmin asked.

"Food, I hope," I said. We'd hadn't eaten since we got off of the plane, which was a couple of hours before, and I was starving again.

"Food sounds fan-fucking-tastic," Donny agreed.

"They have a restaurant on this floor," Pozzi informed us, making me happy as hell, "How about we get our luggage settled and come back down here in 20?"

"Bet," Alyssa nodded. We grabbed said luggage and found the elevator. It was huge so we all managed to fit in there. All of our rooms were on the same floor, which was pretty convenient. Ethan and I had room '308', so we stopped at that one. Donny groaned and stopped at the door next to ours.

"Great, I guess I have to hear Ethan moan in his sleep for the next four days," he said with his nose scrunched. Ethan mocked his facial expression and unlocked our door. I giggled to myself and followed him into our room.

The first thing I noticed when I shut the door behind us was the big ass bed in the center of the room. It looked comfy as fuck. Ethan set our things aside and I faceplanted onto the bed. I sighed happily and snuggled into the soft comforter.

Ethan chuckled and he plopped next to me on the bed, "You like?"

"I love," I mumbled into the covers and turned my head to look at him.

"Good," he smiled and leaned down to kiss my cheek.

I sat up next to him and wrapped my arms around his neck, "I love you."

His smile grew, "I love you too."

It'd been a few hours since we'd eaten and the squad was chilling in Pozzi's room.

"We should've brought some fuckin' weed cookies or something," Donny whined.

"I brought my pen," Ethan shrugged.

Donny's eyes lit up, "Bro, yes! Where is it?"

"Jesus, there's gotta be something else we can do besides smoke. We're at a big ass hotel in Florida," Alyssa said rolling her eyes.

"Isn't there a pool here?" I asked and Pozzi nodded.

"Good idea. We can go to the pool- Wait, no, I think it's closed," Pozzi sighed at the end.

"We could sneak in," Donny suggested.

"What if we get caught?" Alyssa sighed.

Yasmin cocked a brow, "So what? That just makes it more fun."

"Hmph, Badass Yasmin? I like," I smirked. No one had any disagreements. "It's settled; we're goin' late night swimming."

_

"Shh!"

"You're stepping on my toe!"

"Stop, it!"

"Get your elbow off my tit!"

"Guys, be quiet!"

I guess you could say we were doing a terrible job at sneaking into the pool. It'd been easy up until we had to pass by a security guard. All six of us had to basically squeeze through this little ass walkway in the back of the pool area to get inside. I was the last one in and I closed the door behind us.

"Coast is clear!" I called out.

Pozzi ran toward the pool, "CANNONBALL!" He jumped in and a huge splash erupted from the pool, drenching poor Alyssa.

"You're SO dead!" she yelled and jumped in too. Yasmin and Donny joined her and they started having a splash war.

Ethan and I shared mischievous looks and bolted to jump into the pool. The splashing got more aggressive and Pozzi surrendered. I didn't even notice that Yasmin had gotten out of the water until pool noodles started flying at us. I grabbed one and hit Ethan with it before pulling myself out of the water.

"Oh, no you don't!" He followed behind me. He got out of the pool too and threw me over his shoulder.

I tried to wiggle out of his grasp, "PUT ME DOWN!"

"Apologize!" he demanded and inched closer to the edge of the pool.

"I'm NOT sorry! Oh shit-" I barely got my statement out before I was yeeted back into the water. When I resurfaced, Ethan was squatting at the edge, laughing.

"Y'know, this is sorta like when we first met," he chuckled. I squinted at him and grabbed his wrist, pulling him back in. He popped back up from under the water and pushed his hair out of his face.

"Yep, and this is how it should've gone the first time, Brace-Face," I stuck my tongue out and swam away with him hot on my trail.

After swimming for a bit longer, everyone slowly headed back to their rooms. I was pretty cold, but I didn't want to leave the pool yet. I was having so much fun.

"Babe, you're shivering," Ethan said and rubbed my arms to warm me, "You sure you don't want to go shower and lie down?"

"Can we get in the hot tub first?" I asked with a small pout.

"Sure we can. Come on," We got out of the water and walked over to the hot tub. It was extra hot considering we'd just been in that cold-ass pool water, so we eased our way in. As soon as we were all the way in, I let out a relieved sigh. Ethan rubbed my arms again.

"I'm warm now, it's ok baby," I smiled and pecked his lips. His ocean eyes stared into mine and he licked his lips slightly. I started tingling... down below. It was a sensation I hadn't felt that strongly in so long.

I smashed my lips back onto his and wrapped my arms around his neck. We'd moved up to having little make-out sessions over those past two weeks, but something stirred in me at that moment. Something that made me crave more.

I pulled my lips away and wrapped my legs around his torso, "Can we go shower now?"
