I woke up thinking that I would have Archer sleeping like a log on top of me with drool smeared on my face but to my surprise, Archer wasn't there. The side that he usually sleeps on was cold and empty. I get up from bed and freshened up. I walk out of the bedroom and everyone was near the kitchen. Brie, Cam and Felix were sitting on the high stools near the kitchen island and Owen was sitting on top of the island. Archer was cooking something while everyone was just talking and laughing.
"Morning" I say and pulled myself up to sit on the marble island counter.
"Xena! You're up. Hey" Cam smiles and everyone else greets me too.
"What are you making?" I ask Archer and turn to look at his back—his bare back— which I may add is very hot. I could see his back muscles flex.
"Waffles" Archer turns and smiles.
"OH! Xena, Cam! Let's go sit in the living room?" Brie smiles and looks at us.
Cam, Brie and I all walk and sit on the sofa.
"Tell us what happened last night" Cam wiggles her eyebrows and looks at me.
"Well...we went for a walk on the beach and then we ended up sitting down on the sand when we were pretty far from the house and then Archer told me he loves me" I blush and look down at my fingers that were locked together.
"And? What'd you say" Brie asks with a big smile on her face.
"I told him I love him back of course" I laugh and look at them. My eyes then zero on Brie's neck. Which was a very very clear and prominent hickey.
I raise my eyebrows and a smirk grows on my face.
"Brie why don't you tell us what you did" I laugh
Brie looks at me in confusion before I point towards her neck. Her eye widen for a second before he cheeks become a bright red.
"Cam! Why didn't you tell me that I had a hickey" Brie rolls her eyes playfully.
"How am I supposed to know! Your hair was covering it before. I didn't notice until now. I swear" Cam raises her hands in surrender before she bursts out laughing.
Just then Owen tells us to come to the kitchen for breakfast. All three of us walk back to the kitchen and Archer gave me a plate with two waffles on it. I thank him before I walk to the fridge and get out some whipped cream that I found in there.
I put a hefty amount of cream on my waffles before I placed it on the island for some else to use it if they wanted to.
I was sitting on the counter with my legs dangling down. I start to eat my food while we all started talking about everything and anything.
Around 25 minutes later we were all done eating our food, we decided to just stay home and relax for today.
We all headed to the living room and we all decided to just talk about anything.
"Guys, I found out that Vera's parents found out about her pregnancy now since she's around 4 months in now and they're pretty mad, her moms supporting her though. And apparently her soulmate—the pedo weed guy—ended up rejecting her on Friday" Cam says as she looks up from her phone.
"Oh gosh, even though she was a real meanie. I don't think she deserves to go through all this, I feel bad" I say
Everyone nods along before we changed our mind and decided to go to the beach again today, after all today is the last day we'll be here. We have school tomorrow.
We didn't go surfing though, we just all fooled around in the ocean for a few hours before it was already 2pm. We were supposed to leave at 3 so we only had an hour left to pack up and get ready. We all scurried back into the house and went for a shower. And this time Archer beat me to the bathroom first.
"Dibs on taking a shower first!" Archer yells and runs to the bathroom like a 5 year old.
"Oh come on!" I say but he had already reached the bathroom before me.
After a few seconds he opens the bathroom door and peeks his head through. I was sitting on the bed now staring at the bathroom door.
"You want to join me?" Archer asks
"Really?" I say and stood up from the bed.
"Sike" Archer says and slams the door shut in the face, he even locked it.
"Are you serious?" I roll my eyes and walked back to the bed and went through my phone till around 20 minutes later he comes out with no towel on...once again.
"Sweet baby Jesus. PUT ON A TOWEL ARCHER" I yell as I pulled out some sweats and a cropped black ripped top.
At this point it didn't phase me. I already know he'll never stop coming out completely naked.
"Why do you have a problem with this? You do know you were born naked" Archer rolls his eyes but you could hear from his voice that he wanted to laugh.
"Yeah Yeah, whatever" I smile and close the bathroom door shut behind me and stripped out of my bathing suit which is now kind of dried.
Around 20 minutes later I was done with my shower, I changed into my clothes and I walked out the bathroom, Archer was putting things back into his suitcase and I too started packing my clothes back.
We were all set to leave so we all took our suitcases and leaded then back into the car, I looked back at the house that Archer was locking up, I could see the beach from here, the water looked relaxing and calm.
Cam and Owen got into Owens car and Brie and Felix got into Felix's car, I was sitting on the hood of the car waiting for Archer, I really didn't want to leave but once again, we had school tomorrow. We even had our final exams coming up in around a month, and then after than we had uni. I never really expected my last year of high school to end like this, but I wasn't complaining. Senior year was the best year so far. Cam, Brie and I all got to find our soulmates and we got to experience things we never have before. Archer walked up to me cupped my cheek before kissing me on the forehead and telling me to get into the car.

We finally reached home, Brie, Felix, Cam and Owen all ended up splitting up cause they were heading to their own homes.
Dad wasn't home, he texted me and told me that he went to work cause he had lots to do.
"I don't want to go to school tomorrow" I pout as I open the door to the house, Archer following behind me. I had invited him if for some time.
"Honestly neither do I" Archer shrugs and plops himself down on the couch. He opens his arms for me and I sit between his legs, my back pressed against his chest. He leans forward and gives me a kiss on my neck.
"Apollo! Where's Apollo?" I ask and call for him, but there was no response, so I did the next best thing. I called dad.
After the second ring he picks up the phone.
"Hello? Hi sweetie! You're home. How was your trip?" My dad asks me
"Hi dad, it was amazing I had lots of fun, but Um...where's Apollo? He isn't in the house" I ask him, I started to get a bit nervous. Did someone rob our house and take my baby? Oh gosh please no.
"Oh, I've been taking him to work with me, I didn't want to see him all alone at home. He's been enjoying working at the office" I could hear my dad from through the phone.
"Oh thank god, I thought someone stole him" I sigh a breath of relief and place my hand on my chest.
"Woops, didn't mean to scare you. I'll be back him in around 2 hours" my dad says as he laughs
"Alright, bye love you" I smile and end the phone.
"Where's Apollo?" Archer asks
"My dad takes him to work cause he doesn't want to leave Apollo alone" I laugh.
We sat in comfortable silence, Archer was holding my hand and he drew circles at the back of my hand with his finger.
"Can you imagine that we're technically almost done with high school?" Archer says playing with my fingers.
"On that note do you know where you're going for uni?" I ask him turning my head to look at him.
"Yeah I haven't really told anyone this but I applied to Yale and I got in, I just need to now score higher than my predicted grades" Archer says and looks at me.
"Wait. Are you serious? Oh my god, I'm so happy for you!" I turn to look at him and give him a small peck on the lip.
"Wanna watch something?" Archer smiles at me and his dimples popping through.
"Yeah, but let's go to my room instead, I don't like sitting on the couch" I say as I took up and started to walk up the long stairs.
Archer was walking behind me with his hands on my waist till we entered my room. I shut the door behind me before I turned my tv on, we both then got into bed. We ended up watching Moana. I couldn't help but stare at Archer, he was lip syncing most of the songs unconsciously during the movie, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Archer turns to me and looks at me in confusion, a small smile on his face.
"How many times have you watched this movie?" I question, a laugh bubbling through.
"I've never watch it before" Archer shrugs and pauses the movie.
"Lies. You're unconsciously lip syncing the songs" I boop his nose.
"Alright fine. I've watch it maybe three times? I don't know, I don't remember. It's just such a nice movie" Archer stares at me, I instantly got lost into his beautiful pale green eyes. They were so mesmerising, I saw him glance down at my lips before he looked back at my eyes again.
Slowly, but surely, he presses his lips to mine. It's soft and gentle and chaste, I felt sparks—and as cliché this must sound— it felt like fireworks erupting in my tummy, a wave of warmth that fills me up, the warmth of Archers lips on me rushing to every corner of his body.
And before we knew it things led to other stuff.

It was currently 7:30 dad came home right now with Apollo in his hands.
"Hi buddy" I coo and pat the bed, he waddled over to me and rests his head on my lap.
"Oh shit, it's getting late. My dads probably wondering where I am. I'll see you in school tomorrow" Archer smiles and kisses my forehead and nose. I wave goodbye at him before he left my room. I heard his car start up before I heard him back out and drive off.
I walk down the stairs, Apollo right behind me. Dad had ordered pizza for us.
We both sat on the unnecessarily big dinning table and we talked about anything and everything, I told him about how the trip was and how much fun I had and he told me about what he did at work.
Before I knew it, it was already 9, so I decided to go to bed. I say goodnight to my dad before I carry Apollo up the stairs and into my room. I got ready for bed and changed into more comfortable clothes before I got under my duvet. I snuggled Apollo close to me and before I knew it I was sleeping like a baby.
