"What are you still doing up? Everyone else is sleeping." He asked, going to sit next to her.
"Just thinking." She mumbled, laying her head on her knees and turning her head to look at him.
"About everyone leaving tomorrow?" He asked and she nodded.
"Mostly you guys. I mean who knows when the next time we'll see each other will be." She told him.
"Emerson, I promise to you that we'll see each other sooner than you think." Nate put his hand on her thigh, "I have your number and you have mine. All you gotta do is call it and I'll answer, no matter what. Come here."
He held his arms out and she moved to laying against her chest.
Nate wrapped his arms around her and kissed the top of her head as they sat in silence.

Cars were packed and everyone was saying there goodbyes.
"I'm gonna miss you, EJ." Keithie hugged the older girl, not wanting to let go at all.
Over the course if the weekend, Keithie Gaines more of a Brother-sister type bond, same with Greg.
"I'll miss you too." She told the younger boy before Greg pulled him away from her.
"I'll miss you more than him." Greg grinned.
"You got my number, text me when you want." She kisses the top of his head, then she bent down to Becky's height. "Same goes for you, lady bug. Just ask one of your brothers to call me if you wanna talk."
"Okay. I love you, Emmy." Becky grinned.
"Love you too, kid." Emerson kissed her forehead before standing up.
"You know, it's been a pretty nice Fourth of July weekend." Nate grinned down at her, the adults and kids watching them.
"C'mon son, kiss her." Lenny mumbled, "I got money on your asking her out before we get in the car."
"Have fun in Milan since you're going for the rest of Fashion Week." Emerson smiled. "But don't meet another girl. I don't like playing games."
"And replace you? Never." He started to lean in.
A honk made the two jump, "Let's go!" Roxanne yelled from inside the car. "Well miss our flight!"
"Bye." Emerson backed away.
Nate let out a sigh and got in the car with his family. Bitting her lip, Emerson turned around to walk towards Charlotte and Donna.
The others were staying until later so they could get the lake house cleaned back up.
"Uh, Emmy." Charlotte pointed behind her.
Emerson gave her a confused look, but grinned as she heard her name being called.
"Emerson!"
Turning around, she found Nate running towards her, the car parked a little and away and his family hanging out the windows.
"What the hell are you doing?" She asked him, "You're gonna miss your flight."
"I forgot something." He grinned, grabbing her face and pulled her into a kiss.
Her hand rested on his hips as their lips moved in sync, smiled on their faces.
"You drive me crazy." Nate told her once they pulled away, "But that just means I'm one hundred percent in this if you'll be my girlfriend."
"Na-,"
"Say yes, woman!" The younger teens yelled and she laughed.
"I'd love you." She pecked his lips, "But you really should go before you miss your flight. Call me when you guys land."
"No problem, babe." He grinned, kissing her one last time before running back to the car.
"Lamansoff! You own me money!" Lenny yelled, rolling his window up.
"Well, Ms. Higgins, how does it feel?" Charlotte asked
