"The beach?" I looked over at him, a smile playing on his full lips,"Yeah, do you not like it?"

I frowned,"Yes." He had parked to where the trunk was facing the water, grasping my hand to pull me out. I glanced at the back, seeing the comforter and pillows placed in the back of the Jeep.

"Hayes, you a'ight?" I asked, playfully shoving him. Rolling his eyes, he pulled me close by his hand. I stared up at him, biting my lip.

I felt as he gently shoved me backwards, my back pressing into the car door, our bodies flush together, "I love you." I thinned my lips, "I know that."

He leaned closer, shaking his head, "I am in love with you, baby."

I clenched my teeth, my eyes watering. "Wait, you d-?" He nodded his head, his hair brushing against my forehead. He brought his hand up, wiping away the tear with his thumb.

"I-but you can't." I shook my head, breathing unevenly. His eyebrows pulled together, searching my face with his eyes.

I squeezed my eyes shut before pushing him away. I let out a huff, staring at the water. I caught Hayes' gaze, frowning. He sighed, "I love you, Malaya. I have for awhile, I was just too oblivious to see the way you looked at me that you love me too. I hurt you, baby, but I do love you."

"I-" he cut me off, pulling me into him before pressing his lips to mine. I felt the tears fall down my cheeks as I kissed back, "I love you too." I said against his lips.

"C'mon, I want to leave." Hayes said, glancing at me with a smirk. I nodded, getting in the passengers seat, "Sorry for ruining your plans here."

He chuckled, "I liked what happened now better." I blushed, biting my lip as he drove. Hayes pulled into the Taco Bell drive thru before ordering food.

"I'm so confused." I mumbled, glancing at Hayes.

He looked at me, "What do you mean?"

I shrugged, "You just say you love me after all this time, I just don't understand it."

"There's no explanation I can give you, Malaya." he sighed, pulling back into the driveway of home. I got out, "Don't call me by my name."

"Why?" he laughed whilst following me inside. I shrugged,"I just don't like it, its weird."

"Okay, baby." he mumbled near my ear as I stopped to look at him. Blushing deeply, I covered it up with a cough.

I only got out and followed him inside. I was confused when I saw a call from my mom. I held it to my ear, "Hello?"

"Hey, dear. Are y'all having fun?" she asked. I sighed, "Why are you acting weird?"

"It's time for y'all to come home. I know its soon, but things have came up for my job and I wont be Homs for awhile and I need someone to be at the house." she explained as my frown deepened.

I nodded, "Okay, are Hayes and Nash coming back, too?"

She was quiet for minute whilst I leaned against the wall. "Mom?" I called into the phone confused, hearing shuffling in the background, "Oh sorry, and no, I believe they're staying there for a little longer."

"Okay, when do se leave?" I asked and she proceeded on, "After tomorrow. Just start packing, alright?"

I only hung up and stomped upstairs. Maya came in behind me with frown, "We have to leave without the guys. Yay."

I raked a hand through my hair and nodded, "I want them to come with us. Its borung without em." After changing into something more comfortable, I layed down on the bed.

Maya opened the door to leave, "I'll help you lack tomorrow, babe." I smiled and switched on my phone to see a text from Hayes.

I smiled and waited as I messed with my phone. After a few minutes of watching Netflix, he came in looking tired. I grinned at him as he shuffled out of his pants to pull on basketball shorts.

I scooted over to give him room so he could lay next to me. "Hey, babe." he pulled me next to him. I sighed, "I have to leave after tomorrow to go back home and y'all are staying here. I'ma miss you."

He laughed and ran a hand through his hair, "Its okay, I don't be here forever." I nodded and closed my eyes.

"Goodnight, I love you, baby girl." he mumbled in my ear and I kissed his lips, "I love you, too."
