I love every single person in this apartment and out of it for the support they've been showing Olivia and I the past few months.

But the one who honestly impresses me the most, is Ben.

Ben is the one who has never gotten on my case about what the hell I was doing since this whole relationship started.

When I went MIA for a few hours with Ol, he never asked what I was doing.

When everything happened the night of Connor's party, all he asked is why I didn't tell him, and then told me that I know I can talk to him, and to sleep, relax, and talk to Con about it.

The look on his face when he found out about Parker, or him putting Olivia in her place when I needed her to talk to me about it.

And I know they all felt the same way as him, and they know I know it. But Ben, he is the ONLY person that told me that if I ever want to talk about it or need to, that he's there.

Let's just, give Ben some claps for growing up more than any of us this year.

After the Parker feels, we all sat down, planned out our weekend, finished this very refreshing beer that I think all of us needed.

"So, guys are going to get food. Girls are staying here to just relax. Valentines is tomorrow, and the show is Saturday. DO we know who is taking the spare room yet?" Connor looked at everyone.

"Well, surely not I." Josh shook his head. "I don't think I ever want to leave this chair."

"Well, we know where you're sleeping when you visit." Olivia let out a small laugh.

"Ben and Tory can have it." Ryan nodded.

"Really, that easy?" I gave him a look.

"Yeah. We uh, we're not." He sighed. "We have no need for a private bed room."

"What's going on?" Ben raised his eyebrows.

"Nothing." Abby shook her head. "We just, we agreed that for now, until we get back to a more stable place that we're gonna, sleep separately. Not in the same bed, no sex. Just-"

"Getting to where she feels comfortable again." Ryan leaned back and put his arm around here. "Which, I am perfectly OK with." He pursed his lips.

"You're damn right you are." She looked up at him.

I choked back a laugh, and Olivia back handed me in the chest.

"Ow." I whispered.

"Well, Ab, you can sleep in the room with Tory, I can sleep out here." Ben nodded.

Tory just looked at him.

"No." Abby cleared her throat. "No no, that's OK. You should sleep with Tory this weekend." She nodded.

"It's not a big-"

"No!" Olivia and Sienna yelled.

To the point where I jumped might I add.

"Lets uh." Olivia cleared her throat. "Lets go settle in." She got off my lap.

"Ryan and I will get the TV put up out here for you." Josh nodded.

"And, I'm gonna wreck Connors bed while he sets his up." Sienna smiled.

"Bitch." He looked at her.

"I'm gonna get the bathroom out here set up." Abby nodded.

"And, I guess I'm just gonna do whatever I'm told?" I looked up at Olivia.

She smiled and nodded. "Good boy."

"Yeah, you try to carry any of those big ass boxes in to that room I'm breaking your fucking ankles."

She raised her eyebrows, walked over to the window by the kitchen, dead lifted the book shelf box, and walked down the hall.

I just looked at Connor.

"OK, you've known her for 14 years now, does that surprise you?" He shook his head.

I pursed my lips. "This is my life. I'm the pit bull, she's the Chihuahua." I nodded.

"That's how it should be." Sienna laughed.

"No." I shook my head. "The chihuahua is the one in charge. Have you ever seen a determined chihuahua? They don't stop for shit. She wears the pants." I sighed.

I got up, grabbed the TV and the night stands, and walked down the hall to our room.

I kicked the door open lightly, and set the boxes on the floor. "You make your point?"

"Did I carry it." She smiled.

"Yes, you did. But please, let me bring the stuff in. I will put it together, and you can put it wherever you want. But, we're not doing it today. We'll do it tomorrow, today we just relax. I'll go get food with the guys, and you can plot with the girls on getting Tory to sleep with Ben as if I can't read every girl in this place like a book." I plopped down on our bed.

She pursed her lips and crawled on the bed. "About that."

"Oh no." I laid back as she climbed on top of me.

She took my hands and put them straight on her ass. "I need a favor."

"How do you expect me to say no with my hands full of this ass." I slapped one cheek then grabbed both.

"That's the point." She leaned down and kissed me.

I groaned. "Cheap. What is the favor?"

"Figure out why Ben keeps shutting Tory down when she tries to have sex."

I raised my eyebrows and just looked up at her. "Huh?"

"Every time she and Ben get to third base, he shuts it down before it can go further." She nodded.

"Ben." I nodded. "Ben is the one shutting it down?"

"Yup."

I sighed. "I will figure it out. We already gotta talk to Josh, but we can talk to Ben."

"Love you." She kissed me again. "So much."

"I love you more." I smiled. "You gonna tell me what we're doing tomorrow since you planned the whole date?"

You planned Christmas." She shrugged.

"I know." I nodded.

"Well, after we're done unpacking and building shit-"

"I am building shit." I glared at her.

"You and I, are going to go find a supermarket."

"For? We can't leave groceries here for 6 months baby." I shook my head.

"Well one, to find one that I like for when we get here. And two, I am going to let you pick out whatever you want for dinner, and I am going to cook you a nice, candle lit romantic dinner in our brand new kitchen."

"OOO, and what's so special about that when I can have that whenever?" I raised my eyebrows.

"Because tomorrow, I am going to be extra special nice to you, do whatever you ask, not complain while we have a fast marathon in bed, and while I'm cooking dinner." She reached down over the side of her bed and pulled out a small white apron with red hearts. "I'm going to be wearing this, and the sparkly red heels in my bag." She nodded.

"You're cooking me dinner all dressed up fancy?" I pouted.

She shook her head. "Just, the apron and heels." She smiled.

My jaw dropped. "Just the apron and heels?"

She nodded.

"Nothing else. No panties?"

"Nope." She smiled.

"And, now I need to get out of this bed because I have to go with a bunch of dudes, which is going to be hard while I'm thinking about bending you over the counter tomorrow and eating you out from behind."

"I mean." She rolled off me to her stomach and arched her back with her butt in the air. "Just, really quick?"

I pursed my lips. "You'll do whatever I ask tomorrow?"

She nodded.

I rolled out of bed, smirked, and locked the door. "OK then." I nodded.

I got back on the bed behind her, tucked my fingers in to the hem of her leggings, and pulled them and her panties down to her knees. "Does that mean I can do anything I want to you?" I flipped her to her back and pulled them the rest of the way off.

She smiled and nodded.

"Do you trust me?" I spread her thighs and laid on my stomach.

"Yes."

"Then focus on my mouth and don't move." I smiled up at her and went to work.

Kissing, licking, sucking, pumping 2 fingers in and out, getting her worked up to the point where I could gently, work my pinky in to her-

"Oh." She flinched. "That is uh." She cleared her throat. "That's my ass Mason."

"I know it is." I groaned against her skin. "Focus on my tongue." I licked her from bottom to top. "Breathe and relax." I started slowly working my pinky with my fingers.

"Oh wow." She let out with a shaky moan.

"Good?" I looked up at her.

"A little." She nodded.

"I'll take my time and make it feel better tomorrow. I promise. But for now, get you used to the feeling." I pulled away slightly and spit down on my pinky.

"Fuck." She let out with a deep breath.

I reached up and put a hand over her mouth. "But we're not here alone. Right now though, you're gonna come before I leave." I smirked and started moving faster.

All my movements.

And within a minute, she was screaming in to my hand, and coming all over my mouth.

"Fuck." She covered her face when I crawled back up her body.

"I intend to." I nodded. "But right now, I have to go." I leaned down and kissed her.

"Cheese cake." She nodded.

I smiled. "I will bring you back cheese cake. And tomorrow, we have one more thing to buy aside from food."

"What?" She scrunched her face.

"Lube." I wiggled my eyebrows. "I get to do whatever I want to you. And I, want this." I rubbed a finger between her ass cheeks. "I'm damn determined to be the first something. That, is mine." I rolled off her and got out of bed. "What kind of cheese cake." I reached in my back and pulled out a beanie.

"Cherry." She smiled.

"You got is shit brick." I smiled and opened the door.

Abby, Sienna and Tory were all standing in the hall looking around at the walls.

"Don't act as if you aren't going to talk about it." I put my arm around Tory. "And you, if I do this for you you do my math homework next week." I nodded.

"You got it bubs." She smiled.

"Dirty girl." I shook my head.

"She wasn't the one who just had a finger in her ass." Sienna smiled as she closed the door.

Pretty much kicking me out of my own bedroom.

I walked down the hall to the living room to all the guys looking at me.

"Are we going to eat, or not?" I raised my eyebrows.

"I don't know. Did I just hear my girlfriend say something about a finger?" Connor crossed his arms.

I pursed my lips. "If I say no, can I keep the finger?"

"Probably not." He shook his head.

I nodded. "Then, I just put a finger in your sisters ass." I smiled.

His face went completely flat.

"What, losing the finger anyway, might as well be honest." I shrugged.

Ben, Ryan and Josh all choked back a laugh.

"Maybe moving in together was a mistake." Connor nodded.

"To late now." I smirked.

We headed out and searched for somewhere to eat, and we found a cute little diner about a 10 minute walk away.

They have half pound burgers, so I am a very happy boy.

Although she only asked for cheese cake, I got Ol a burger too.

We got our food, and I have a feeling I'm coming here often when we get here at the end of the summer.

But now, to the talks.

Ryan, looked at Ben, Connor and I and we all nodded.

He cleared his throat. "J we need to talk."

"OK?" He gave him a look.

"We're only talking to you about this because we love you and just, want you to hear us out." I nodded.

"Oh no. It's about a dude." He groaned.

"It is about a dude." Connor nodded.

"Uh, you were still processing the Holden stuff, so I didn't want to tell you then, but Nico asked about you a few days before the talent show." Ryan nodded.

"OK, Nico knows me he can ask me anything." He shook his head.

"J it was about you and Cody." He pursed his lips.

"Nico doesn't know about Cody."

"He does J." I nodded. "I guess Nico, started noticing Cody being distant, and he asked what was wrong, and Cody exploded at their dinner table."

"Cody came out Josh." Ben nodded. "And apparently when he did, he told his family that he screwed things up with one of the best people he's ever met because he was scared that they wouldn't love him."

"I don't want to hear this." He shook his head.

"But you need to dude. Because when you and Holden broke up, you were fine. But when Cody ended things, it's like your life got put on pause." Connor nodded. "You cared about him. He risked his family hating him because he misses you. Don't you think that's worth talking to him about?"

"No. Because I have nothing to say to him."

"Josh-"

He cut off Ryan and looked at him. "He hurt me. To the point where these two ate cinnabon, and made me look in a mirror and repeat them."

"He hurt himself too." I nodded. "J not everyone has a family like yours. He was scared. He was confused. You of all people know how that feels. To the point where you and my girlfriend went down on each other because you were so confused. And you just told your family 2 years ago. You were terrified."

"I've been in Nico's spot dude. Where I would do anything for you to be happy. He asked us to talk to you. And whether you want to admit it or not, you were happy with Cody. Imagine how much happier you'll be actually in the open with him. Going on dates." Ryan shook his head. "I know he hurt you. But do you really think I would be sitting here, asking you to hear him out if I thought he would do it again?"

He took a deep breath. "We're gonna leave it at I'll think about it and that's the last I want to hear about it."

"That's good enough." Ben nodded.

"And now to you." I looked at Ben. "What the hell is going on with you?"

"What do you mean?" He shook his head.

"You three. What are the 3 things Ben loves most in the world?" I leaned back and crossed my arms.

"Boobs." Josh nodded.

"Beer." Connor laughed.

"Sex. Pretty sure Ben likes sex more than all of us." Ryan nodded.

"So, does it really make sense that Ben, keep shutting Tory down for sex?" I raised my eyebrows.

"What?" They all looked at him.

"How would you know that." He scrunched his face.

"How do I know everything."

"Which means she told the girls." He nodded.

"B what the fuck is wrong with you." Connor shook his head.

"It's different OK?"

"How?" Ryan gave him a look.

"Because it is. Tory is a virgin. And, I love her. OK? Her first time needs to be perfect. With someone who actually deserves her."

"B you do." I nodded. "Have you noticed you're the one with the most stable relationship that didn't start with a fucktastrophy?"

"With you and Tor, there was no secrets, no abusive ex-boyfriends, no cheating. Ben everything about you and Tory's relationship, from beginning to now, is how it supposed to be done. You're doing everything right. You slowed in to things, you made her comfortable, you've put us in our place. Ben if anyone at this table deserves their girlfriend, it's you." Connor nodded.

"If she's trying, she wants it to happen." Ryan nodded. "Tory wouldn't take something like that lightly. You know that. If you want it to be perfect, make it that way. Follow her lead."

"Stop being scared of fucking up too. We have all fucked up." I nodded.

"Him the most." Ryan and Connor pointed at me.

I pursed my lips and nodded. "My girlfriend, has a ring on her finger, we're moving in together, and we're very happily in love. You." I looked at Connor. "You wont tell your girlfriend you love her. And you." I looked at Ryan. "Yours wont even touch you. Don't fucking play with me."

They all just looked at me, then looked down.

"Yeah, that's what I thought."
