Third Person's POV 

"Hey, can I take a seat?"

Jake peered up from his book, coming face to face with a girl holding two cups of iced lattes and her sunglasses about to slide off her head. He had to admit, its only been a day in this new city and he has yet to know anyone more than the little nicknames he mentally gave each of them.



This one was miss sassy.



"Um, so... I got this latte for you?" sassy shyly hands over one cup with 'LV' written on its side. Which he noticed, had to be her initials.

"Thanks." He responds, giving a tight smile as he reached over taking a sip from the cup she was holding. Leaving her to freeze in her seat and recovering once he let go.

"So..." He begins, folding down his laptop screen to look at her clearer. "What's the coffee for?"

"I just wanted to apologise for being a bitch over breakfast today."



After a long tiring tour the previous day, the team decided to call it an early night. Being landed at noon, the tour guide did take them around to their office for the next two weeks and a little bit around the town for them to get used to. They had taken time to meet each staff they had to work with, including the driver and the house keepers of the hostel they stayed in.

Grocery was done right after lunch, with nothing left to do, everyone decided on having a nap before meeting once again in one of their rooms for a bonding session, consisting of a few beers they snuck in and little card games. It was Raegan's idea of course, to have such ice breakers. They had to work together for two weeks after all.

A dozen bottles of beer, three cups of noodles and five rounds of their Uno game later, Shane suggested they have a round of truths instead of dares. No one said they were easily offended, anyone could ask anything. Even if it was personal.


"Have you ever been in a serious relationship?" Raegan asks, as her spinning bottle stopped, pointing between the pair of twins sitting on the bed right opposite theirs.

Shane passed around chips, with accusing eyes as the twins gazed hesitantly at Lana who was leaning against Kristina's shoulder, attempting to stay awake.

"What?"

"Um, I actually dated her boyfriend..." one of them mumbles almost inaudibly, clinging onto the other and avoiding the girl's eyes.

Shane knew exactly what she was talking about, Rae tried to keep an unreadable expression while Lana pressed her lips into a thin line to force a smile, hoping no one would read into it as much.

"You dated Chase?" Karina, one who completed Rae and Lana's trio questioned, fluffing up a pillow just beside the twins.

"Yes."

"Um, it was for a short while, I promise. Cleo tried to throw him off but" Sky, defends her twin, looking wearily back at Lana and her twin.

"Its fine Sky, don't worry." Karina cuts her off as silence filled the room.

"It's a long story, we're... not exactly in talking terms right now." Lana adds, picking up the bottle to take a spin, "I guess everyone dated the same guy here?"
