Pippa's POV
We get all of the blankets and pillows out (besides those the guys are using for their fort) and put them in the living room. We decide to get comfortable after we get ready for bed, so I head back to lin's and my room. I change quickly and sit on the bed, scrolling through my messages from the rest of the cast.

Includes: Pippa, Lin, Jasmine, Renee, Ant, Oak, Daveed, Chris, Jonathan, Leslie

Leslie: hehe 😈
Pippa: get off ur phone Lin
Lin: ehhhhh
Pippa: I'm waiting

I quickly turn off my phone and toss it onto the bed. Then I go into the bathroom and open the shower door, only to find Lin sitting on the floor with his legs crossed still texting the guys. He looks up and gives a small smile.

"This is mine," I say, snatching his device from his hands. He grabs for it but I keep it out of reach.

"Phillipa! Please???"

"Why? What do you need it for? Aren't you FaceTiming them with ant's phone anyway? Where is he, anyway?" I say. "One, it is rude to leave your guest waiting for you, especially if you can help it. Also, I want to catch up with my friends and, no offense, I can't do that when I am babysitting you. I'm my tryna be mean, but come on. You haven't had a guys night in a while and I haven't had a girls night in a while." He looks sideways. "Lin, look at me," I say softly. I kneel down in front of him and put my hand on his arm. "Come on, go chill with Ant. Please?"

"Yeah, yeah I'll go do that." He turns to leave but looks back and hugs me. "I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"Annoying you."

"hehh... It happens. Don't worry about it, it's not that big of a deal."

"Yeah but.. it's not gonna change anything, right?" I realize that is really the first and only time I have gotten annoyed at him.

"no, of course not!" I rest my head on his shoulder and sigh. "It wasn't even really a disagreement, and we are good now." His body instantly relaxes. "Is that such a relief? Did you really think I would, or could, for that matter, stay mad at you?"

"Well, I don't know. I am happy to know we're still on good terms though."

"Never better," I say pecking him on the cheek before breaking the hug. "Alright, let's go."

"Wait, Pip," he says, pulling my arm back. He rests his forehead against mine and holds my hands. "I love you pippa."

"I love you too lin. Thanks for reacting be way you did over Leslie, even though we both knew he was joking. Now come on, they're gonna think we died or something." He laughs and we speed walk out into the common area of our apartment. Turns out we weren't really missed cuz they're all on their phones.

"There you two are, what were you doing?"

"Nothing," Lin and I say both at the same time, rather quickly.

"Oh really.. hm." renee does her little grunt that shows that she doesn't believe us one bit. I roll my eyes and laugh it off.

"Alright you guys, let's do this," I say. "We have blankets, pillows, and the couch if we get uncomfortable. It pulls out, by the way."

"Do you wanna just layer blankets on the ground and call it a night?" Jasmine suggests, yawning.

"Yeah, let's do that." Renee and I say as we follow suit.

Lin's POV
"Perfect," I say as we add the final touch to our fort. In actuality, it's not really a fort because there is no roof, but chairs and blankets draped in he sides of the chairs create walls so I guess you could call it a trench. Maybe.. more of... a circular trench.

"It looks awesome man. Do you wanna FaceTime the guys now? they've been waiting for quite some time," Anthony says as we lounge like kings in our new house.

"Yeah," I say. He opens his phone and calls Chris. It takes a while to load and then we see an image of 5 guys huddled around the tiny screen.

"Yo wassup man? How's it chillin in London?" Chris says.

"Ya know it's pretty good. We are havin a guys night, the girls are havin a girls night, things are great."

"That's awesome! Tell them I send them my love," Leslie says.

I lean my head back and scream: "the guys send their love!!!!"

"The eardrums though, have mercy," Daveed laughs and shakes his head.

"We send our love as well," Renee shouts back.

Pippa's POV
"Okay. I'm soo (😜 soo.. get it?? Get it?? Haha) excited for tonight!! We haven't talked in such a long time and we can actually chill and stuff. AHH I'm so exited," I squeal.

"Yeahhhh so. How do you want to start?" Jasmine asks. She sits up and leans against the couch, crossing her legs and getting a pillow to hug.

"I think we should play a game," Renee says proudly.

Oh no I think. "What game, ren?"

"Truth or dare," she replies with a grin.

Hey y'all!!! Okay. We back. I said this chapter would be up and I edited and yeah!!

Thank you SOOO much for 6 thousand views. I literally cannot be more appreciative of all you guys who read my stories and care about my writing. It honestly makes me so happy that this story has been growing! 😆😁😁
