"how dare you look through my things," i laugh as i continue to tackle him down to the bed. he continues to keep on laughing. since he wouldn't let go of my diary, i got on top of him, which makes him stiff for a second, before he continues to laugh.

"i was bored!" he screeches, before he finally drops the book. "you can't blame me!"

"you can't just go through my things caleb!" i playfully slap him. in that awkward position, i try to get off. but, he grabs my hand and directed me to just stay there.

"did you forget?" he frowns

"forget what?" i asked, as i feel a bit awkward but comfortable.

"you are- you know what? get off of me," he playfully pushes me off.

"of course i'll never forget your little romantic gesture," i giggle, as i sneak in a little kiss on his lips.

"what are we doing tomorrow?" he questions, before settling into the bed.

"iris put me in charge of preparing the centerpieces and whatever will be used in decoration," i shrugged.

"i would like to ask you one thing though," he smirks as he places his hands on my waist

"and what is that?" i ask

"where's that tattoo?" he snickers. "you're such a rebel."

"shut up," i get off of him. "says the person with more tattoos than me."

after a little conversating, zion eventually fell asleep. i stayed up late, but during that time, someone decides to facetime me at a questionable time. but, i needed a little break from staring at the screen filled with words and statistics.

"why are you up so early?" i rub my eyes.

"girlie, after what happened, i can't sleep no more," diana replies. "you're the one that's up at three in the morning."

"i'm gonna sleep in today," i throw up a peace sign before i yawned once more. as i said that, nick appears in the screen.

"let's get to the case. where is my best friend?" he puts his face close-up to the camera, which startled.

"lils, can you lower that down?" zion grumbles before he turns to his side. i turn around to shush him and put on some earphones to the computer.

"liliana, i know you are hiding a boy in your place," diana says. "how would you like it if i told your mom about this?"

"that was zion right there!" nick yells, which makes me screech from the loud noise. i immediately shut my mouth.

"that was not him. i have no idea where zion is, what exactly happened?" i asked, as i try to really hide the fact he is here. on my bed. sleeping.

"well, he just disappeared. he said he was gonna go "visit family," but they said he went somewhere else," diana rolls her eyes.

"maybe he's going on a little vacation," i shrug. "i heard that artist nowadays need to get some vacation rest by running away for a little while."

"then what was that whole entire scene in the car?" diana hisses.

"what car scene?" i questioned.

"oh don't play dumb," nick exaggerates. "going to milan and hong kong, and zion doing things to you!"

"i'll talk about everything once i get back," i place my mouse in the "end call" button. "see you guys on monday!"

as i hung up on the call, i continued to do my work, until i fell asleep on my desk.

the next day, i woke up. but not in the same place i fell asleep. by my side was a note on the pillow.

"wake up big head," the post-it read

i sat up on my bed for a bit and scrolled through my phone to check if anything happened before i would start my day.

as i did that, i crossed upon a bunch of direct messages from the guys. as expected, all i can see is messages from everyone saying i kidnapped zion.

"where is he?" said one of my messages from austin

"js remember to always use protection, ☺️" said another message from edwin.

"is zion with you?" brandon texted.

in the end, i didn't open the messages. since i was already on instagram, i just scrolled through instagram continuously until i felt tired of it.

as i did, zion came into my room.

"what the hell?" he scoffed

"what?" i question, as i took a glance at him before looking back to my phone.

"your mom was told me you'd be awake, doing exactly what you are doing right now," he walked closer to the bed.

"she's not wrong. after my phone, i go to the tv. then i go to my laptop." i continue to scroll as i watched a funny video of a dog.

"well, you can't just survive the whole day in here witho-" he continues, until i cut him off.

"don't worry about it," i roll my eyes, as i unplug my charger. "we have a busy day today."

"k, cuz sebastian gave me a whole lot of pick up orders and i don't know what it is for, but he said its "lily's problems now," he gestures a pair of quotation marks with his fingers.

"ugh, okay," i groan, once i finished freshening up. "what time is the first pick up?"

"10:30" he replies. i look to the clock and see that its past 12.

"caleb zion kuwonu," i give a death glare at him. "you do know that the pickup was supposed to be two hours ago."

"so i picked it up with your mom earlier," he smiles deviously. "the next few pickups are at 12:30, from then on."

"then what are we waiting for?" i grab my wallet and keys.

"zion no, that's not it," i take a glace at the way he prepped the reception favors.

"why did iris make it so complicated?" he huffs in frustration.

"hijo, just take a rest already," my mom grabs the materials from him. "its late already. lily and i will just do it."

"ma," i complain, which she returns a stern look at me, before smiling back at zion.

"thanks nita!" zion yawns, before heading back up.

"ma, you do know he's just gonna be on his phone," i complain. "also, where's everyone? its just us, zion, and jax?"

"oh, everyone's out the for their bachelor and bachelorette party," she blows raspberries. "there was a reason why they saved up for 3 years for their wedding."

"why wasn't i invited?" i frowned, as i tied the twine together

"you're not 21. i wouldn't allow. also, why would i let you in the care of everything for the wedding, all by yourself?" my mom questions. "i know you'll never do it. mainly if you're home alone with your boyfriend."

"oh stop it ma," i blush a bit.
