Baylen purposely parked further down the hotel parking lot as a means to teach Peyton a lesson. She glared at him while groaning. "Maybe you should've worn more comfortable shoes." He teased. Kyle and Lucas hopped out of the car first, laughing at what Baylen said.
Peyton got out of the car, her foot grew sore as soon as she put pressure on it. She let out a wince as she walked with Baylen to the doors. She had to take several breaks while walking making the two of them fall far behind, but Baylen stayed with her the whole time. Even when he teased her each time she stopped, he waited so they could continue walking together.
Eventually they made it to the elevator, meanwhile their whole group had already made it up to their rooms. They stood inside of the elevator, clicking the 3rd floor button. "I need to take these off." The girl huffed, grabbing onto Baylen's arm as she slipped the heels off her feet. She held onto the shoes, her feet still sore. "I'm so excited to get to the room so I can let my feet rest." Peyton exaggerated.
Baylen smirked, "how bad do your feet hurt on a scale from 1 to 10?" He asked, his head cocked to the side.
"Hmm, I'd say 10." She joked. Before she could ask why, he picked her up. She yelped while wrapping her arms around his neck as he carried her like a princess. "Baylen!"
"What?! You said 10!" He laughed. "I'll put you down if you really want me to!"
"No, no! My feet hurt." She pouted. He was really warm, his smell was all she could inhale. He smelt like the smoke from a bonfire. He carried her like that all the way to their hotel room. He would pretend like he was about drop her occasionally causing her to yelp and grip onto him harder.
The two of them entered the hotel room, both laughing over how ridiculous Peyton's screams sounded. He ran to the bedroom and threw her onto their queen sized bed. She let out a loud laugh, watching as his smile grew. He then turned away and headed to the bathroom.
She sat back up watching as he shut the door. She frowned a bit, her heart slowly sinking. She got up and grabbed some pajamas for her to change into. She grabbed grey plaid pajama pants and a pink Juul isnt Cuul t-shirt.
She hopped back onto the bed and pulled out his phone. Baylen came back out, shirtless while brushing his teeth. She could see him in her peripheral vision, but she didn't take her eyes off the phone screen. Her cheeks flushed a bright red, this was the second time she had seen him shirtless in one day.
"So," He spoke up. She looked over at him, trying her hardest not to glance down at his chest. She ran her fingers through her hair. "Peej and Alissa...?" She could barely make out what Baylen was saying due to the toothbrush in his mouth.
"What about them?" Peyton turned her phone off, her eyebrows furrowing.
He went back and spit the paste into the sink. "Are they dating now? They were more touchy tonight." He chuckled, continuing to brush his teeth.
She laughed, "well, they kissed! She told me in the car."
He let out a hum, quickly turning back around to the sink and spitting out his toothpaste in shock. "Are you serious?!" A smile grew on his face. "Your fucking plan worked?!" He laughed. "Holy shit!"
She couldn't help but laugh once more. "Yeah, I know! I couldn't believe it. Neither could Lake and Dizzy."
"Speaking of Lake, how's her and that one girl?" He put the toothbrush away before hopping into the bed next to her.
Peyton huffed, "well...I think they're constantly texting. I haven't really asked. She would tease me if I said anything." She rolled her eyes while giggling.
Baylen tilted his head, "why not?" He asked while knitting his eyebrows together.
"Well," she hesitantly answered. She couldn't quite form the words in her mouth. "She... uh." She ran her fingers through her hair again while he stared at her. "She thinks we're like... together."
He smiled while laughing a bit. "Of course she does." He muttered causing her eyebrows to furrow. "I mean do you see the edits on TikTok?" He asked.
She obviously did, but how did he see them? "You see edits on your for you page?" She laughed a bit. "That's crazy." She looked away while anxiously giggling.
He rolled his eyes, "yeah because Lake is the one reposting them." She then looked back at him. They were close. So close she could feel the warmth of his body. Silence loomed the air, her heart pounded in her ear. "Peyton?" He leaned a bit forward.
"Yeah?" She smiled. This was it. This was the moment. It was about to happen.
He licked his lips, opening his mouth to speak. He looked away, focusing his eyes on someone else. "I... uh. I'll be right back, okay?" He stuttered hard. He got up from the bed and threw on a t-shirt before leaving the room.
She frowned now knowing there wouldn't be a confession anytime soon. She let out a sigh as she slouched her shoulders. Her head leaned against the bed backboard while frowning.
She texted Lake and Alissa, seeing what she should do about this.
Me I thought Baylen was about to confess but he hasn't now idk what to do...
Lake He was going to I just know it
Alissa The way he was looking at you tonight... girlll you have to say something
Lake YES U NEED TO!! PLEASEEEEE
A grin grew on her face slowly. She couldn't help but giggle a bit, now wondering what she could do. The friendship bracelet, feeling of his arm around her, the way he carried her to their room. Everything was falling into place. She needed to do something.
