Don't Look Back

The 3rd Day of Christmas

Sutton woke up to the sun peeking through the crack of the thick curtains. She yawned and got out of bed. She looked over at Rowan, who was sleeping peacefully.

Sutton tiptoed to her bag and got out her outfit for the day. A pair of baggy joggers and a loose sweater made their way to the bathroom in her hands. She slipped them on and started Dutch braiding her hair into two sections.

"Hey, already dressed?" Rowan rubbed her eyes as she stood in the open doorway.

"Hey sleepy head," Sutton replied, finishing her second braid.

"Well," Rowan said, smiling at Sutton.

"Well, what are the plans today? You just gonna sleep?" Sutton laughed.

"I'm not going to sleep, gotta spend what time I have with you to the fullest. The boys will probably steal you away soon. But today's plans are watching movies and maybe going to the hotel pool," Rowan got her clothes and switched places with Sutton as she changed.

"I doubt the boys will steal me away, this is the first time in months since I've hung with them and they already put me off on you," Sutton answered, looking at her fingers at she toyed with one of her cuticles.

"They didn't put you off on me, I asked for you," Rowan said, throwing her hair into a ponytail.

"Oh, why?" Sutton asked, leaning against the frame of the door as Rowan pulled out pieces of her ponytail for a messy look.

"Because in your videos you seem really cool," Rowan shrugged her shoulders.

Rowan followed Sutton back into the room and plopped on her bed. Sutton grabbed the remote and sat beside her, turning the tv on.

"So movies first?" Sutton looked over at Rowan. Rowan nodded and the two began to watch FreeForm's movies.

Awhile later, Sutton got up from the bed, her stomach growling. Rowan sat up along with her, rubbing her own stomach.

"Lunchtime," Rowan laughed. The girls slid off the bed, not bothering to grab shoes as they went out of the room. They headed to the elevator to go to the small restaurant in the hotel.

Sutton picked out a hotdog with fries and Rowan chose a fruit smoothie. The two sat in silence as they ate, waiting for the other one to speak first. Sutton finished her meal and threw away the trash, Rowan following her back up to the room with her smoothie.

"So swimming time?" Rowan asked as she shut the door.

"Yeah, let me change." Sutton walked into the bathroom with a pile of clothes.

Rowan changed in the main part of the room and was sitting on the bed, ready to go. Sutton walked out and both stopped and stared at each other. Rowan was wearing a white bikini with a loose knit cover up and jean shorts with flip flops, showing off her tanned skin. Sutton displayed her pale skin with a black bikini with boy shorts and a see-through dress cover up with skimpy sandals.

"Well, lets go," Rowan smiled as Sutton spoke up first, breaking the silence.
