"Here is your key card," Scott said, handing me my card. "You have the room to yourself instead of sharing it with Charlotte and Rachel. Noel might stay with you the night before the wedding though. Traditions and all."

"Thank the heavens," I replied, mentally thanking Noel in my head too. I couldn't survive sharing a room with them.

"And here's your key card," Scott said, handing Tobias a card. "You have to share a room with Julian but he won't be coming until a couple days later."

"With Julian?" He asked, frowning as he took the card.

Scott turned around, picking his bags up from the floor. "I should've asked if you were okay with it beforehand. You don't mind, do you?"

Tobias scratched his head before lifting his duffle bag. "Nah, it's fine."

Scott nodded and walked away to find Noel. I lifted my own purse and walked next to Tobias, our steps falling together in perfect harmony.

"Don't think it'll be awkward to be rooming with him once I break up with him?" I asked, keeping my voice down so nobody could hear.

Tobias shrugged and hit the elevator button a couple of times. "Sure it would be. But I guess I'll just have to stay in your room."

He winked at me as the elevators opened. I cocked an eyebrow and gave him a smirk. "I don't have any problems with that."

He hit the button to the eighth floor, right before he was about to pin me against the wall of the elevator. Somebody shouted "keep it open!" making Tobias groan, his head leaning on my shoulder blade in defeat right before he pulled away to push the door back.

Noel smiled eagerly at Tobias before stepping inside. "Thanks! I forgot my sunglasses in the bathroom, silly me, so I had to go back for them. Scott left without me though, too eager to see our room I guess."

She noticed me in the background and her smile only widened. "Reign! I didn't even see you there! You better have packed a bikini because we're going to the beach in a half a hour!"

The elevator opened again before anyone of us could respond. She enthusiastically got out of the elevator leaving me alone with Tobias, again.

"You guys are totally opposite," he said, shaking his head in shock. "How did you guys become best friends?"

I chuckled a little. "It's a long story. Maybe I'll tell you someday."

I stopped in front of my room and slide the card through the little key card slot. Tobias looked both ways before planting a tender kiss on my lips.

"I'm counting on it."

~*~

"I'm not going any deeper than this," I told Tobias, crossing my arms.

I could see his eyes linger on my chest and I pushed him back, making him fall back in the water. He gasped as he got back up from the water. He shook his head, making water sprinkle all over me. His eyes looked determined as he pushed himself out the water.

"I swear to God, if you get my hair wet-"

I couldn't finish my sentence because the next thing I knew I was being picked up, bridal style. Tobias waddled in the water, splashing it everywhere as he walked further into the ocean.

"Tobias! I'm sorry, okay? Don't drop me in the water!" I pleaded, wrapping my arms around his neck tightly.

I was okay with water as long as it wasn't in the deep ocean. The shallow water is my friend while the deep parts are my enemy. I never had good memories at the beach growing up.

"Does it seem like I'm the type of person who would use your fears against you?" He asked, smirking down at me as he continued to walk farther in the ocean. I could feel my feet touch the water now and I know it would probably reach my chest if I stood up.

"Yes," I replied, still clutching his neck tightly. "You are the type that does that."

Tobias pretended to look offended, pouting down at me. "You've wounded my heart Reign. I don't think I can live on like this."

I snorted, not believing his words for a minute. "Just put me down, please?"

In the distance I could see Noel and Scott come back. They went down to the indoor pool first, ordering cocktails and stuff. Now the whole gang was here.

"I guess I'll honor your last wishes."

Before I could ask him what the hell he meant, he released his hold on me, shocking me. I loosened my grip just seconds before and now I realized how much of a mistake that had been. I tried to shut my mouth before I landed in the water but I was too late. Salty sea water filled my mouth and nostrils, instantly cutting off my breathing.

I scrunched my eyes close, the water burning my eyes. I gasped for air, only making more water enter my mouth. A second later I felt myself being picked up and I instantly began coughing.

I felt Tobias slap my back, a little less gentler than I was used to, but it got all the water out of my system. Once I regained control of my breathing, I pushed Tobias back, wanting him to let go of me.

"Oh come on Reign," I heard him say, his voice full of humor. "I'm sorry baby."

"Leave me alone Tobias," I upbraided in a chiding tone, walking back to shore.

"I can't do that," he mused, swimming next to me. I could see his hair float on the clear Aqua water.

"Yes you can and you will," I replied, glaring down at him.

I heard him sigh before he turned on his back, so that he was floating. "I really am sorry. I just thought you needed to loosen up after the week you just had."

I stopped walking and bit my lip. I looked down at him and he was looking back at me seriously. I knew he was telling the truth but it still didn't mean it was okay for him to dunk me in the water. Instead I walked back to him, my hands outlining his abs. 

He looked down at my hand I could see his chest rise quickly by my touch. Before he could look back at me I plunged his head in the water, catching him off guard. The face he made before he went under water was priceless. I let out a deep giggle as he rose from the water. His hair was plastered on his face as he pushed it back. He gave me a cheeky grin as he stared back at me.

"Are we even now?" He asked, swimming towards me. I felt his body slide under mines before he resurfaced. I shuddered from the feeling as he stared at me intensely.

"My room, now," I uttered. He knew what I meant. I could tell by the way he was gazing at me, his eyes filled lust.

"Yes ma'am."

A small smile tugged on my lips as I swam back to shore. Noel was too engrossed into a conversation with Rachel to notice me. I managed to pass by her but not Scott on the other hand.

"Where are you guys going?" Scott asked, pulling his sunglasses down. I looked back at Tobias who was drying himself with a towel, inches away from me.

"Umm-"

"About to get lunch," he proclaimed calmly. "We've been out here for awhile."

"Great, I'm starving," Scott replied, getting up from his lounge chair.

"You guys are about to eat?" I heard Rachel ask, just as we were about to leave.

"No," I replied as the same time Scott said "yes."

I let out a little groan which Tobias heard and I could see his lips twitch into a smirk.

"Thanks, Scott," Rachel said, emphasizing Scott's name. Apparently everybody was starving now and they thought it was a great time to join us.

We began walking back to the hotel, everybody walking in front of Tobias and I. I pulled my sheer dress over my body, scowling at everybody in front of us. I felt Tobias hand rest on my hip and his lips leave a small kiss under my ear.

"Patience sweetheart."

Patience my ass. I wanted him and I wanted him now. As we walked into the hotel, I pulled Tobias behind, and led him into the bathroom. I checked around to see if anybody was in there before locking the door behind us.

"Someone's eager, aren't they?" Tobias asked, smirking down at me.

Water droplets from his damp hair were falling onto his tanned, toned chest. His abs were more defined as he wore his swimming trunks that were hanging dangerously low may I add. I licked my lips hungrily. He was beautiful and he was mines.

My hand were around his neck as I kissed him passionately, my body greedy to be connected to his own. I heard him moan as I bit his bottom lip, making me more eager to continue this. Tobias picked me up swiftly and I wrapped my legs around his waist, enjoying the adrenaline flowing through my veins. His lips explored my neck and I felt my back arch from pleasure.

"Tobias," I moaned, enjoying the feeling he was giving me. My words only encouraged him and I felt my body hit the powder table roughly.

"This is a bad idea," he breathed, his eyes never leaving my face.

"Well haven't you heard? Bad choices make great stories," I replied, my chest rising quickly. His eyes glanced down to my chest and I heard him curse fuck it before he buried himself in me.

~*~

"Where were you two?" Rachel asked, eyeing Tobias and I as we entered the restaurant. I ignored her and sat next to Scott and I felt Tobias sit next to me. Everybody was too into their conversation to even pay attention to us. Perfect; I didn't need them asking questions in why we were fifteen minutes late.

"Did you hear me?" Rachel angrily importuned, glaring at me. "I said where were you guys?"

"Rachel, honey," I calmly replied, flipping open my menu so that I didn't have to see her ridiculous face. "Stop whining and eat your salad."

Rachel's face turned scarlet red as Tobias chuckled not so silently next to me. She glared at the two of us before scuffing and look down at her own menu.

"Are we ready to order?" A waiter asked, looking around the table. Everybody nodded and he took out his notepad, taking everybody's order.

"And for you sir?" He questioned, looked down at Tobias. He sat up straighter and I felt his hand rest on my thigh. I looked down, thinking it was a mistake but he kept it there comfortably.

"I'll get the smoked salmon with brown rice," he told him, before leaning back in his seat.

"And you Miss?" He asked, looking at me.

"The Mac & Cheese balls," I told him. I could see Tobias smile at my amateur order and I rolled my eyes at him. "Can you also bring out a nice glass of red wine? Nothing after the '80s."

"Got it," he replied, writing away on his notepad quickly. "I should be back soon. Feel free to munch on the bread and salad as you wait."

I looked over to Rachel who was glaring at the salad bowl and I couldn't help but giggle.

"Scott, I'm sorry but tonight Noel is ours," I told him as the table quieted down. Noel looked at me alarmed but I just winked back at her. "It's your bachelorette party!"

"Oh lord," she replied, covering her face from embarrassment. "With you in charged it's probably going to end up like Think Like A Man Too."

Scott, Noel, and I interrupted in laughter while everybody looked at us in confusion. This only made us laugh harder. Of course they wouldn't get a black movie reference.

"I guess we have to go out for your bachelor party," Ethan said, sipping his beer. The waiter returned with my wine and I have him a gracious smile.

Scott shook his head and picked with his napkin. "I'm not into all that."

"Come on man," Tobias spoke, moving his hand away from my thigh as he leaned into the table. Where his hand once rested now felt cold. "It's your last night before you're tied down forever to one person."

"Hey!" Noel exclaimed, chucking a piece of bread at him. "Don't encourage him Tobias. I know your type."

"Oh really?" He asked, leaning back in his seat. "And what type is that?"

He grabbed his own beer and brought it to his lips. He took a long swing from it and stared at Noel for her answer.

"The I'm too cool to commit to a serious relationship," she replied, not beating around the bush. "I bet you never even had a relationship that lasted longer than a month."

Tobias chuckled as he rested his hand back on my thigh. I instantly felt a surge of intensity.

"I guess you won't believe me when I say I'm currently in a relationship. We've been together for about two months now," he defended, not once glancing at me.

Noel furrowed her eyebrows together and pressed her lips into a straight line. "How come I never met her?"

"I'm going to say this the nicest way possible, but you aren't the type of person I would come running to as soon as I get in a relationship. I mean I didn't even know you existed until a couple of months ago."

I could see this was going to escalade soon as Noel leaned forward. Scott caught on too because soon he grabbed her hand, distracting her. I removed Tobias's hand from my thigh as I glared at him, wondering where this was coming from.

"What?" He remarked, taking another sip from his beer. "She attacked me first!"

"We're here for her wedding-"

"And Scott's," he interrupted, pointing at him with his beer.

"You were coming after her though, not Scott. Should I remind you that she's my best friend? Girls are very protective of their best friends."

"So I've learned," Tobias retorted, rolled his eyes. He leaned his head back from boredom. "I'm sorry, okay? It won't happen again."

"Don't apologize to me," I replied wryly, leaning away from my seat as the waiter brought my food. "Apologize to her."

"I'm sure she knows-"

"Tobias," I said in a threatening manner. He had a mini eye staring contest with me before he started blinking repeatedly.

"Fine, have it your way," he replied.

He tried to be angry at me, but as I redirected my attention to my plate I could see him smiling at me from the corner of my eye.

Aww cuteness overload :)
What was your guy's favorite part about this chapter?

Q&A Part II:
Reign:
How happy are you now that you can be with Tobias?
Honestly it already feels like it's official. We've been doing everything a normal couple does so I would say it feels pretty amazing.

Will you and Tobias move in soon?
Looking back to last weeks events, I feel like we're already halfway there.

How are you going to let things go with Julian?
This has been such a big issue in my life lately I don't think I could sugar coat it. I'm just going to have to tell him straight up that I can't be in a relationship anymore. It's going to be hard on me, but every time how I think it affects my relationship with Tobias I know it has to be done.

Besides the fact that she's so into Tobias, why do you dislike Rachel?
I was actually okay with Rachel before all this. She wasn't as annoying as Charlotte so I could deal with her. However recently it's like she's purposely trying to mess with me. 

Tobias
I love you!
*looks away in discomfort*

How can you be so calm about Reign and Julian?
I've been with Reign almost everyday. I would know if anything real is going on between them. There's no need to get mad over something that doesn't exist.

After Reign breaks up with up with Julian are you going to ask her to move in? Because you said something like that a while back.
I have a feeling she wouldn't want to move into my apartment.. But I wouldn't mind finding a new apartment, or even a house, for the two of us.

How can you be so calm about your future with the type of past that you have?
I read a quote that changed my entire outlook on life. It goes like this: a wise man sat in the audience and cracked a joke. Everybody laughs like crazy. After a moment, he cracked the same joke again. This time, less people laughed. He cracked the same joke again and again. When there is no laughter in the crowd, he smiled and said: "You can't laugh at the same joke again and again, but why do you keep crying over the same thing over and over again?"
It just got me thinking.. And now I don't ever think about my past.

Tobias is bae tho but, would you want to have kids?
Thank you, I guess..? It's one of those things where I don't know because I've never experienced something like it. Being in a relationship alone is something new to me. But being a father? I can't even think about that right now.

Would you ever consider getting married to Reign?
I never thought about tying myself down. If you're in a healthy relationship, why do you need to settle on a title has a husband or wife? That always confused me about people.

Julian
Have you noticed any changes in Reign lately?
No, she seemed fine to me, except for the last time I saw her when she was sick. She probably hates me for not checking up on her in person. *shakes head in shame*

Noel
What can we expect for the wedding?
*squeals* well you know it's a Christmas wedding so we'll have a big Christmas tree filled with ornaments and candy canes and stuff. The actual wedding is by the beach but the reception would be inside the hotel :)

I know it's a destination wedding, but what theme is your wedding?
Christmas themed! My bridesmaids are going to wear a navy blue sparkling dress while the groomsmen are wearing red bow ties. It's going to be so cute!!

Scott
Are you happy to be getting your destination wedding?
Yes! I'm so glad to get away from the snowy New York setting.

Are you sure Noel is the one?
I've known since I've set eyes on her.

When do you and Noel plan on having kids?
As soon as we start our own careers, just so that we're established and such.

Rachel
Seriously, can you stop being such a slut?
Excuse me? I don't even know you that's pretty rude to say.

Why you such a thot tho?
Why are you so interested in my life? *shakes head* fans everywhere.

Do you notice anything going on between Tobias and Reign?
To be honest I think Reign is a bit jealous of me since Tobias seems so into me. I mean she has Julian I don't know why she wants more attention. It's obvious that she's competing against me for Tobias's affection. It sad honestly, she should just give up.

Me! (starbucksaddict)
What made you want to write an interracial story?
All the stories I've seen were either all the same or it had a really great plot but they never wrote more than a couple of chapters or the grammar was terrible. I don't want to discredit anybody's work or anything, but all the main BWWM stories I've seen are about a rich Caucasian man who's a billionaire or owns his own company or is about to... It just doesn't seem real to me. I don't know, I just wanted something different, I wanted to write a story I wanted to read myself. I wanted to make a story that people would relate to in a way, something believable. I also wanted to create a character who was a boxer so that's how Tobias came into play. Before I wrote this story I was obsessed with the characters I've chose to play Reign and Tobias (Jasmine Tookes and Tobias Sorensen). They're just so cute! I love their relationship lol.

How do you write your story's so fast?
Do you mean chapters? I've never finished a book before lol but I have a feeling Forbidden Love will be my first. But I finish my chapters so fast by reading your guy's comments! I'm not just saying this either lol. Your guy's comment inspire me to write. Also, I look at pictures of Jasmine and Tobias. Sometimes  I even just watch their snap stories which inspires me to continue
