"Can you pass the salt please?" Dante asks to no one in particular, but since I was the one closest to the salt I go to grab it but Cohen swats my hand away before picking up the salt and practically shoving it in Dante's hand.

We were currently having dinner, neither Cohen nor I came downstairs for lunch, I didn't go because I wasn't really hungry and Cohen didn't go because he didn't want to see Dante's face.

He really needs to stop being so childish, for fucks sake.

After a very long dinner, I quickly walk up the stairs to my room, not wanting to be anywhere near Dante. Dinner only consisted of Dante's parents and my parents conversing with each other, sometimes directing the conversation to either Cohen, Dante or I.

I decided to take a quick shower so that I could get ready for bed, I was pretty tired since I woke up super early. I grab onto my toiletries and walk to the shared bathroom we have, and turned the shower on and waited for it to get hot. Once the bathroom started to fog up with steam, I quickly stripped off my clothes and hopped into the shower, I showered for a good 25 minutes before I got out and wrapped a towel and around my body. I look at my phone that was resting on the bathroom counter and it was already 9:30.

Everyone's probably asleep.

I speed walk to my room and lock the door behind me before drying my body and putting on just a simple oversized shirt that covered me till mid-thigh. I dive into the comfy bed and roll myself up into my duvet. the cold sheets makes me sigh in satisfaction.

Maybe tomorrow I could go sunbathe.

Before I knew it sleep took over me in a flash.

My eyes flutter open and i'm met with complete darkness, I look at my phone that was placed on my side table and it was only 2am. My throat felt dry.

I need water.

I slowly slip out of my warm bed and quietly open the door to my bedroom and make my way downstairs, I head to the fridge that was in the kitchen and it didn't really have anything except for 3 bottles of water, and some left over food that was given to us for dinner. I take a bottle out of the fridge and close the fridge door shut, turning around I bump into someone, so couldn't really tell who it was because it was upper dark so I did the next best thing. I starting feeling around for their face.

I felt their face scrunch up before they pull my hands away from their face.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Dante asks.

"What the fuck are you doing up so late?" I shoot back.

"Why the fuck do you care? you're not my mom. Now if you would move out of the way, i'm trying to get a bottle of water" Dante says and from his voice I could practically see him roll his eyes.

I roll my eyes and walk away from the fridge, instead deciding to walk out to the living room, it has a sliding door that you could open to sit on the lounge chairs outside. So I did exactly that.

I open the sliding door and the pleasant chilly air meets my skin, the bright moon shining down on the calm waters of the beach. That's when I realize that I was only in a shirt. But then again, It's not like Dante could see anything, it was completely dark.

I suddenly hear the sliding door open again and Dante walks and sits on the other lounge chair.

"What are you doing?" I ask annoyed, Can't he just go back to his room? I'm trying to relax in peace.

"What are you doing?" He asks the same question to me, this time looking at me, his eyes trail down to my legs before he looks back at the ocean.

"I'm trying to relax in peace" I huff.

"Okay? and who's stopping you?" He asks, this time just looking straight ahead.

"You. You're the one stopping me, you annoy me. Go back in. I called dibs on this place first." I narrow my eyes at him. He just cracks a small smile before looking at me. The moon shines onto him, making his face look more structured.

"Dibs? seriously? How old are you, eight?" He quietly chuckles.

"Fine whatever, I'm going back up anyways" I mumble before standing up and making my way back into the living room, I then see him standing up too. Following me into the living room.

I stop in my tracks and turn to look at him and he just looks at me blankly.

"Are you not going to sit outside?" I question in confusion, my voice quiet.

"Nah, I changed my mind" He shrugs, taking a sip of his water.

The only reason I was going back to my room was because he was outside, so if he's going back inside I might as well go outside. The scenery was so breathtaking I could sit out there for hours.

I nod my head before walking back outside, I see him turn and look at me in confusion.

"Where are you going?" He questions opening the sliding door and staring at me, I ended up ignoring him and taking a seat on the lounge chairs once again.

I hear a bit of shuffling before I see him sit on the sand right beside the lounge chair I was sitting on.

"Can you fucking leave?" I grit out looking at him, my eyes accidentally trailing down his bare torso, he's only wearing sweatpants.

"Nah, I changed my mind" He shakes his head a smirk resting on his lips.

This boy...

I narrow my eyes at him but decided to completely ignore him. I swear to God if someone wakes up because of how loud he's being I'm going to beat his ass.

I was about to take a sip of my water that was in my hand but it was suddenly ripped away from me, I turn to look at Dante casually chugging down my water.

I decided to completely ignore him and got up from the lounge chair, pulling down the shirt a bit that had ridden up while I was sitting. I hear him get up as well.

Can he not try to fucking annoy me at 2 in the morning?

Now, you may be asking me. Anaïs, why don't you just go back to sleep?

I can't. Once I wake up I can't sleep again, It just doesn't work for me.

I walk into the kitchen to get another bottle of water, and I realize there was only one left. Great.

I took the bottle out the fridge and close the fridge door shut behind me. I turn around and I once again bump into Dante.

"Jesus Christ! Do you not know what personal space is?" I hiss quietly, I shove him back with both my hands and he just grips onto the hand that has the bottle of water and snatches the bottle out my hand.

"Give it back, what's your problem?" I grit out.

"Nothing, I just like annoying you" He shrugs before he starts to open the bottle of water so he could drink that one too.

"Don't" I glare at him and he just smirks, I've never wanted to slap a persons face as much as I've wanted to slap this dudes face.

I go to reach for the bottle but he just lifts it up in the air, making it impossible for me to reach it because, one, I was only wearing a shirt and if I stretch too high up my underwear would show, two, because I wouldn't be able to reach it anyways.

"Just give it, Dante" I sigh and rest my back on the fridge door before crossing my hands over my chest.

"Why don't you try get it?" He smirks.

"I can't" I simply shrug.

"Why? just reach over, it's not even that high up" He says looking at my eyes before they trail down again before he quickly looks back at my face.

"It's 2 in the fucking morning, don't fuck with me right now Dante, Just give me the bottle. I'm thirsty" I state putting my hand out.

"And if I don't want to?" He smiles, knowing fully well that he's getting on my nerves.

"I swear to God, I'll—" I grit out

"you'll what?" He cuts me off, leaning a bit closer.

"I'll punch you in the face" I say, my eyes travelling down to his lips by accident.

"I'd like to see you try" He smirks, catching me staring at his lips.

We both stare at each other, both our bodies starting to lean towards each other, He places the bottle at the counter beside the fridge without breaking eye contact with me, I could easily grab it but I was too caught up looking at him, I didn't even notice.

His hands then slide down my body, trailing from the shoulder blades all the way down before stopping at the side of my hips. Before I even knew it his lips capture mine.

Sweet baby Jesus.
