Continuing the Flashback of the Florida trip...

**FLASHBACK: FLORIDA, MAY OF 1998**

"Guys, c'mon, Mom got us our rooms!" Carly yells and waves at us.

I'm still shocked at what Chris said, and it's so awkward just to leave the conversation here.

When I'm pretty sure he was about to ask me the one question, I've been wanting him to ask.

"Let's head back, and we'll check out the arcade later?"

He gulps, knowing we have this awkward moment between us.

"Y-yeah. Yeah we can do that."

I take his hand, to let him know I heard what he said and I'm not ashamed of it. I just don't know how to react.

He grabs my hand tighter, almost as if my touch calms him.

"Okay, kiddos, here's how this is going to work.."

Lisa hands us our hotel keys.

"...Carly, Shanna, and Y/n you girls will have one room."

"Mom!" Chris whines.

"What's wrong Chris?"

He knows he can't say it aloud, so he just brushes it off.

"Nothing."

"Boys, you'll be sharing a room."

She hands them their keys. Then she only had one left, which I assumed was for her and Mr.Evans.

"Okay! Up to the floor we go!" She sings, grabbing her stuff and leading the way up.

I stayed with Chris towards the back as he grabbed my duffel bag again.

He takes it to where Carly and Shanna were putting their stuff.

"So which bed is ours?" Chris jumps on one of them, crossing his hands behind his head.

"None, Chris! Get off!" Shanna yells at him.

"Get off Chris!!" Carly whines too

"Ugh. It's brutal in here." Chris makes his way off the bed and pulls me aside.

"I'm gonna go unpack but I'll be back for you? Okay?"

"Okay." I nod, and I push on my toes to kiss his cheek.

He blushes, and turns away to walk out the door.

I wave him goodbye, I know he doesn't wanna leave my side, he's almost clingy with me, but I guess he knows the limit - to not suffocate me?

"Okay, y/n here's your drawer, just put your clothes and your stuff there."

"Okay, sounds good." I say, taking out my three outfits and bathing suit and folding them nicely in this drawer.

Carly and Shanna already put their stuff away, and they're ready to walk around.

After a few minutes the girls and I were just talking sitting on one of the beds. Since the Evans fam have already been in this hotel numerous times before, Carly and Shanna were telling me fun things they've done here.
