''I'll tell you when I see you,'' She rolls her eyes. ''Are you all pack?''

''Uh, I'm just packing pj's,'' She informs her. ''I should be done before you get here.''

''Great,'' She breathes out a small tight lip smile. ''See you in a few.'' She pulls her phone away from her ear and taps against the screen till it lit up once again. She ends the call and looks up with a sigh.

She nearly snarled at the sight of her brother continuing with the sly smirk plastered against his lips. ''Sounds like we're ready.'' He grabs onto the handle of his suitcase, extending it to make it less of a struggle of him and rolled his luggage behind him on his way out.

Devin follows him out of the house and takes a moment to lock the door behind her. Another sigh heavier than the last fell from her lips as she grasped onto her luggage, pulling down the doorstep and dragging it towards the back of the car, where Matthew waited patiently.

She left her suitcase standing beside his before proceeding her way around the car to the driver side. After unlocking the car, she heads for the back of the vehicle again and finds Matthew already stuffing his luggage inside.

Devin inhales sharply when lifting hers up and pushing it inside as far as she could until the suitcase hit the backside of the seats. The siblings step back from inside the trunk and Devin reaches up to slam it down shut.

Matthew started walking past Devin towards his side in the backseat of the car, that is, until Devin grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pulled him back. ''Cause me no trouble and whatever happens at mama's cabin stays at mama's cabin.''

His features lit up into another smirk. ''I like the sounds of that.''

Devin drops her grip from his shirt and nods her head. The two brunette's went their separate ways around the car and settled in their places. Matthew made himself comfortable in the back seat with his window rolled all the way down and his headphone plugged into his phone, playing Fruit Ninja to drown out the sounds of Devin's songs blaring from the front.

Devin had her seat belt on, her window rolled all the way down as well, simply because she enjoyed what little of the summer wind blowing in, dancing through her styled locks while wearing a pair of blue mirror reflected sunglasses.

CNCO remix that featured Little Mix song called Reggaetón Lento was playing at a decent volume on the way to Hannah's house.

''Yo solo la miré y me gustó, me pegué y la invité; bailemos, eh?'' Devin sings along with no hesitation nor a screw up. Possibly the only line in full Spanish that she didn't mess up from the start. She opened her lips, prepared to sing the next line, until the music was cut off and replaced instantly my her ringtone.

With one hand one the wheel, Devin reaches over with the other and answers her device that was held in a case attached to the car.

''Hello?'' She answers, not reading who the caller ID was.

''Hey, babe!''

Devin breaks out into a grin. ''Hey. What's up?''

''I just finished picking up the drinks, I'm on my way right now to pick up Clay.''

She scratches the inner corner on the outside of her right nostril. ''Yeah, same. I'm picking up Hannah right now.''

''Hey, so are we gonna meet up so you could lead the way, or-''
