Spring Break Romance by Cassie Parker (bts book recommendations .txt) 📕

thirty-five minutes. After I'm done I move the laundry baskets and bathroom trash can back to where they were and I head to the kitchen for a glass of ice water still thinking about where I've seen Mark. I have to figure it out or it's going to drive me up the wall.
I walk into the kitchen and get my water and as I'm heading out I run right smack into Mathias. My water was in front of me so we were both splashed with it but since it tilted his way he got hit with most of the water. He steps back and slaps his left hand over his heart. His mouth is slightly open with that shocked expression except his is fake. I roll my eyes.
"What could have I had done to deserve that?" He used the face a voice a girl might use if she was going to fake cry.
"I don't know. Maybe for being in the same space as me." I said sarcastically. He gasps a fake gasp then keeps taking steps backwards as if I was shoving him. His hand was still over his heart and he still had the fake shock expression on his face. He overstepped and hit the couch and flew over it. I couldn't help it but I started to laugh. Mathias pops up on the front side of the couch. I'm still laughing. He steps forward and I just smile He walks to the part of the couch where he flipped over it and points at the water on his shirt as if to ask if that was what I was laughing about. I shake my head no. He points at the couch and I nod my head yes.
He walks closer to me and I don't step back. He takes his shirt off and I shove my hands over my eyes. "Are you trying to blind me for life." His feet stopped making noise so I knew he stopped for a second to think about it then I hear him moving towards me. Once he's close enough to where I can feel his body heat he answers.
"Maybe but in order for me to do that your eyes can't be covered." When he moves to remove my hands from my eyes I get down to the floor and slide under him. I uncover my eyes and jump up behind him. I don't give him time to react. I jump onto his back and cover his eyes with my hands. He moves his hands to cover mine. "What the hell just happened."
I shrug. "Mike taught me how to do that." I move my hands down to his neck and he puts his hands on my thighs to where he can spin me around. He spins me around so that I'm on his front side. He pushes my back against the fridge. "Now what do you plan on doing?" I don't know why I asked that. For his answer he kisses me.
"That's what I am going to do." I drop my legs and his hands move up to my back. "So what do you plan on doing since I did that?" I kissed him and I could tell he was surprised.
"That's what I'm going to do." I walk away and when I get to the door I give him a little wave. I walk to my bedroom.
I make sure that all my homework is finished and since it is confirmed that I did all my homework I decide that I can read. I pull out the book that I've been dying to read; Strange Angels. I have just opened the book when Mark walks in. He hadn't even knocked. What an ass.
"Turn around, walk out the door, shut it, then knock." He knocked. "Go away." He opens the door anyway.
"You told me to knock, I did.And you told me to go away. What the hell?"
"Not a good first impression." I shrug.
"I have a question for you?" Well that doesn't sound good but I decide to get it over with. I motion for him to ask. "Do you wanna hang out alone sometime?"
"Um...No. I don't like you."
"That's funny because I recall you and Mathias hanging out alone." Crap; how is that funny? I don't get to ask because he walks out. He's plain creepy. He gives you that feeling where you want to hide a butcher's knife under your pillow because you're afraid he's going to try to hurt you.
I open my book and read it from cover to cover in about four hours. It didn't take me long because it wasn't too long and it didn't have to small of print. Then the book wasn't hard to comprehend. I put the book on the bookshelf and headed downstairs. I hear voices in the kitchen so that is where I go. Mathias and Mark are in a heated argument and Mike is on the side lines trying to figure out what they are talking about.
"Mike. Can I talk to you." He glanced back at the guys then walks over to me.
"Yeah, sure. What do you want to talk to me about?" I grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the bathroom. His features went from curious to concerned. "What's going on?"
"Mark gives me the creeps."
"What does he do that gives you the creeps?" His face was still concerned but curiousness has entered it too.
"That's just it. It's not just what he does. It's the way he acts and talks. I get a bad feeling from him and to be honest he ind of scares me. Plus he looks familiar but I don't remember meeting him anywhere."
"You haven't that I know of." Mike looked like he was ready for a fight. "Okay. Here is what I'll do." I nod and he goes on. "I just met the guy a couple of months ago so I don't see a reason not to trust your instincts. I'll tell Mark that I'll rent him a hotel room that way he can have girls over. But I'll be keeping a watch on him since I'm the one paying for the room. Sound good?"
"Yeah. He gives me the willy nillys." We walk out of the bathroom and the guys are still having thier little discussion. Mike breaks them up.
"Hey Mark I'm going to pay for you a hotel room that way you can have girls over. All free of expense for you." Mark looks over at me.
"It's because of her isn't it?"
"Oh yeah. Because being a creep and perv isn't enough." Mathias says. Anyone could tell that he wants to punch the hell out of Mark.
"Oh you can't say that buddy..." Thank goodness he didn't get to finish that last bit because Mike shut him up.
"Stop it the both of you. No, Mark, it is not because of Gloria. It's just more comfortable if I got you a hotel room. Pack your things and I'll check you in." Mark and Mike go to Mark's room to pack.They are done in less than fifteen minutes and on their way to the hotel. When they left Mathias walked over to me.
"I have a feeling Mark was right. You got it to where he'd leave didn't you?"
"Yep and I'm glad I did. Now I'm going to go fall asleep to movies on the couch." Mathias follows me. We sit on the couch and I put and pillow on Mathias's legs and I lye my head down on it. Before the movie is over I fall asleep and I'm sure that Mathias did to later on.
I get woken up in the middle of the night by the door slamming. Mike walks into the living room. He doesn't even seem to care how or where I was laying down at. I sit up and sit down so that there is enough room for him. "What took so long?"
"OH he had to have the perfect hotel then he had to have to perfect hotel room. Then he had to have a certain number of pillows and blankets. He also had to have a perfect amount of towels and washcloths." He was about to go on but I stopped him.
"Go to be Mike." I pointed at his bedroom. He stands up but as he's walking away he turns back around.
"And before I lose the nerve...keep the whole make out and flirt sessions quieter. " My mouth drops and he laughs then heads for bed. Well apparently that wasn't hidden too well. I fall right back to sleep and dream about family dinners from when my dad was still alive.
Fifth Day of Spring Break

I wake up to someone shaking me. It's Mike. "Your favorite singer is on T.V." Of course I jump up because my favorite singer is Hunter Hayes. Mathias who had not been awake is jolted awake by me jumping up. Mike laughs. "Hunter Hayes is her number one favorite singer and she watches anything she can about him and she has every song that has been released to the public."
Mathias looks over at me. "Obsessed much?" I glared at him and turned the T.V. up. It was a music video of his; "Wanted". I watch the video all the way though then go into the kitchen. I cook scrambled eggs and we all eat.
"I forgot how well you can cook." Mike loves it when I cook. I picked it up from my dad.
"Well if you'd wait until I cooked then you'd be able to eat it." He sticks his tounge out at me. When he puts on his "I'm going to get you good" smile I jump up and start the dishes.
"Hey Mathias, How good are those eggs?" His grin is still in place. I roll my eyes.
"Good. How's your new brain?"
"Fine except it's a bit smarter than my old one."
"Is that so?" Mike nods, smiles, then puts his plate in the dish water. It's my turn to stick my tongue out at him.
I finish up the dishes in silence because Mathias ran off to take a shower. I go to my bedroom and grab a pair of bright pink sweat pants and a white tank top. I wait for the bathroom door to open and shut and for footsteps to go down the hallway. Once I hear these things I head to the bathroom to take my shower. My shower and afterwards process took about forty minutes and the entire time I still couldn't figure out where I'd seen Mark.
When I walk out of the bathroom and to my bedroom I find Mathias in it looking through my movies and Cd's.
"What are you doing?" I ask him putting my brush on the night stand next to m bed.
"Trying to figure you out." He said it simply but the way he looked at me when he said it told me that it was my turn to show him how my days went. The
