**Hayes POV**

I got out of the shower and saw Kelley looking at my phone.

"Hayes who's Jess?" Kelley asked, crossing her arms.

At first I got nervous because I had dated a Jess before, but I deleted her number. Then I remembered who she was talking about.

"Jess is my cousin," I replied truthfully.

"Then why does her name have hearts around it?"

"I do that for everyone in my family," it was true, I did, even for Nash!

"Prove it," Kelley demanded.

I took my phone and texted Jess.

Me: hey my girlfriend wants to know if you really are my cousin.

She must have been on her phone because she replied right away.

Jess: yeah I am. why does she wang to know?lol

Me: idk, she thought I was cheating or something lol.

I showed Kelley the texts and she let out a sigh.

"Don't worry I would never cheat on you ever again," I said. I wrapped her in my arms and hugged her tight.

"I always feel like you are going to find someone better than me. You have so many fans that are way prettier than me and they would all date you in a heart beat," Kelley said.

"There is no one is the world that more beautiful than you. You are my world Kelley. And my world is beautiful," I kind of whispered.

I could feel Kelley smile against my chest.

"I'm in love with you," I whispered.

**Kelleys POV**

I still felt like he could find someone better than me. I knew he could.

"I'm in love with you too," I replied.

I looked up at Hayes and I got on my tippy toes to press my lips against his. He picked me up so I didn't have to reach him anymore. My hands were running through his hair, which was getting long.

We both separated and Hayes set me down.

"So what do you want to do?" I asked.

"Horror movie marathon?" Hayes suggested.

"Okay but if I have nightmares it's your fault," I laughed.

"That's okay, I'll be sleeping right next to you," Hayes smiled.

"Nope, I'm gonna make you sleep on the floor," I lied.

"But the flo-"

I cut him off, "I was kidding."

"Okay good."

(1 am)

We just finished watched the Exorcist and I almost started crying!

"Let's go to bed I'm tired," I yawned.

"Don't let the exorcist get you!" Hayes said.

"Shut up. It's your fault if I wake up screaming," I laughed.

"Goodnight beautiful," Hayes said as he kissed the top of my head.

"Goodnight asshole," I replied. I heard him laugh. I turned the other way so I wasn't facing him. He put his arms around my torso and pulled me close.

"I love you," he whispered in my ear. I pretended I was asleep. "I know your awake."

"I love you too. Now go to sleep I'm tired," I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
