While Archer is in the shower I dig through my bag to find some pajamas for me to wear once I'm out of my shower.

I play a couple of games on my phone waiting for Archer to get done with his shower.

He walks out into the room in only a pair of sweet pants and a towel rubbing through his hair.

I really try. I really do. But I fail miserably my eyes fall down to his perfect chiseled body.

I quickly snap my eyes off his 6 pack and pick up my cloths from the bed.

"Now don't open the door unless you look through the peep hole first and you know who it is." I repeat back to him with my hand on my hip.

He narrows his eyes at me but I laugh and shut the door to the bathroom.

I turn the water on for it to get hot while brushing my teeth.

Once I'm in the shower I let the warm water soothe my muscles and let me relax.

While I relax with the water beating down on me I finally make up my mind.

I'm going to have fun on this trip.

No more ignoring somebody, or making my life even more miserable because of something that has happened a long time ago.

Just don't get to attached again.

Once I'm dressed in my pajamas I wash my face and head out into the bedroom.

Archer is on the bed with his phones in his hand watching some video.

I plug my phone up and flop down on the bed turning the tv on trying to find something good to watch.

I find scary movie 2 pulling my blanket out of my backpack and not Carrying if he sees.

I lay on my side laughing at the funny parts while seeing archer watching me more than the movie.

I soon get tired and my eyes starts to close.

I fill the covers get pulled up to my shoulders and the tv gets shut off.

I hear sheets rustling and then a hand brush against my check. "Good night baby girl." Archer whispers will a kiss to the top of my head.

I snuggle deeper into the my blanket and fall into a deep sleep.

***************

I wake up to the feeling of being watched. I scrunched up my nose and tighten my eyes trying to go back to sleep but the feeling wasn't going away.

I flutter my eyes open slowly trying to wake up.

I felt a brush of a finger to my face and immediately snap my eyes open jumping off the bed.

the covers catch on my food and make me face plant the floor.

I groan rolling over trying to regulate my breathing and remember were I am before a panic attack happens.

"You ok?" I hear I look up to see Archer hanging half on the bed half off.

"Yeah, just forgot were I was." I say getting up and grabbing the cover to put it back on the bed.

I put it back over top of him and get back under the covers myself.

I see my blanket on my pillow so I leave it there and just lay my head on it.

We lay in silence.

"Why were you watching me sleep?" I mumble with my eyes close.

He doesn't reply so I'm guessing he went back to sleep.

I dose off until I here clothes rustling.

Opening my eyes i see Archer standing over top of his suitcase In only his boxers.

My eyes go wide and can't help when they land on his perfect ass.

NO, he's your dads best friend.

He turns around and I quickly snap my eyes shut. I stretch out and groan acting like I just woke up.

I don't look over at him to see what he's doing I just turn on my other side to look at my phone.

I see a missed call from my mom.

I call her back and put the phone to my ear.

"Hello."

"Hey, you called me?"

"Yeah, we are leaving in 1 hour so get dressed and be ready."

"Ok mom love you"

"Love you too honey."

I place the phone back on the table and finally look at Archer. He has his cloths on and is staring at me.

"Can I help you." I grunt as I get out the bed and walk over to my suitcase.

"Yeah actually I left my cologne at home. Can I use yours.

I clench my jaw and breath a deep breath.

"Sure" I gritted out picking up some black shorts with a white t-shirt.

I head to the bathroom to get dressed. I brush my teeth and wash my face before using the bathroom.

I hear a knock on the bathroom door.

"What?" I snap

"I have to brush my teeth." Archer says on the other side.

I flush the commode and open the door. I don't look at him but I smell that he already sprayed the cologne on.

He pushes through and makes it to the sink while I use the mirror to put up my hair once I'm done I walk out and spray my self with the cologne.

I just get done putting my shoes on when there is knocking at our door.

"Peephole." I hear Archer say and I laugh quietly.

I do as ask and us the peephole to only see my mother and father on the other side dressed and read for our 4 mile walk.

I let them in and wait for archer to finish washing his face.

Once he's done we leave and head to get some breakfast.

When we are done we drive to the trail and I say a silent prayer that I won't die today.

Everybody gets out the car while I get my backpack off the floor board.

We lock the door and I see Archer looking at me like I have grown two heads.

"You seriously brought your bag?" He asks

"Yeah, just the things you might need. Water, blanket, some granola bars, first aid kit and some girl stuff." I reply

"Why do you need all of that?" He ask as we start our walk.

I laugh

He might be my dads best friend but I guess he has never been on a hike with him.

"You'll see." I say in between giggles.
