Milo's P.O.V.

"Good morning, baby." Jayden's voice reached my ears. I opened my eyes to look down at her.

"Good morning princess." I stretched my arms over my head and heard a knock on my door. I draped my arm back across Jayden, and shouted, "Come in."

The door opened and my mom was on the other side, "Breakfast is ready." She gave us a smile.

"We'll be right down Mom, thank you." I smiled back. 

She closed the door softly and Jayden said, "You're so fucking cute." With a laugh.

"Why thank you, princess."

She laughed and pecked my lips, before sitting up. She stood up and grabbed my hands, attempting to haul me up as well. She somehow managed to and grinned in triumph. She put a pair of shorts on, even though no one could see them under my shirt.

When I didn't put anything on she said, "Seriously?"

"Yep." I nodded. "I used to do it all the time when I was a teenager."

"Too bad you're a grown-up now." She teased. I put on a pair of joggers with a sigh.

"That's as good as you're gonna get."

"I'm not complaining." She shrugged. I grabbed her an threw her over my shoulder and started to walk to my door.

"Now are you complaining?"

"Nope. Just means less walking."

"You're, good princess."

"All thanks to Jax. "

-

We made it to the dining room where our breakfast was waiting. I set Jayden down and pulled a chair out for her.

"Thank you." She gave me a smile.

"You're welcome, princess. Morning, Dad."

"Morning Milo, glad to see you're at least wearing pants." He responded.

"Jayden made me," I whined.

"I knew there was a reason we liked her." He gave Jayen a fist bump as she laughed. My mom sat down at the table looking amused.

"What are you up to?" She asked.

"Making fun of Milo," Dad said. They all laughed and I stabbed my scrambled eggs in silence. I felt Jayden's hand grab mine under the table. I looked over at her and she gave me a warm smile, causing me to smile back. I shook my head and turned back to my breakfast as my parents started to ask Jayden questions. "So, Jayden, any siblings?"

"Two, I have an older sister, Jess, and a little brother, Jax. There's also my sister's fiancee, but he's not legally my brother yet."

"Brothers are the worst." Mom sighed.

"Your only son is right here," I warned her.

"I know honey." She patted my arm and continued to question Jayden.

-

"Come on." I said as I dragged Jayden to my favorite place in my home town. It was just a park, but I loved this park. Jayden looked at me confused, so I explained. "I used to come here a lot, mainly at night and just clear my head, and I just thought I'd show you."

I shrugged, realizing it's stupid but Jayden smiled. "No one's ever taken me to a place like this because they wanted me to see it."

"Why not?" I asked, confused.

"I don't know I guess I didn't mean that much to them." She shrugged as if it was normal.

"Well those people didn't deserve you." I said, and pulled her into a hug.

"Or maybe a don't deserve you."

"Nothing's gonna stop me from loving you princess, I want you and now you're stuck with me."

I kissed the top of her head and she snuggled into the hug.

-

A few days later we were finally home from my parents' house and had two days until Hawaii.

"You, me, right here, right now." I breathed. Who knew when the next time we'd be alone like this would be.

"Sounds good." She immediately locked her lips onto mine.

-

Days later, we arrived in Hawaii. We decided to arrive a day early to explore the island, knowing damn well we wouldn't have time to.

-

We adventured for a while, before eventually checking in to the hotel. After we checked into the hotel, we decided to hit the pool. I knew Jayden was feeling self-conscious by the way she looked at her self in the mirror, but damn did she look good in that bikini. She smiled, I guess seeing my expression and threw one of my shirts over it.

"Come see real quick," I told her. She took a few steps over to where I now stood. I slipped my hands under the shirt and placed them on her hips. I pulled her closer to me and let my lips graze her ear. "You look absolutely amazing princess."

"Thank you." I could hear her smile. I pepper her face in kisses, knowing she loved it. I once again stopped at her lips and she frowned. "Stop being a tease and kiss me."

I happily obliged.

-

"I'm not jealous," I stated, glaring at the guys who were just trying to flirt with Jayden at the swim-up bar.

"I can tell." She laughed. I stuck my tongue out at her and she laughed harder. "I think they assumed you're my brother after I said we were here for my sister's wedding."

"Wanna test that?" I asked. She looked confused until I kissed her, and she got the message. I heard coughing and we broke apart to look at the group of guys choking on their drinks.

Jayden continued laughing her ass off and I told them, "Oh yeah. She's my girlfriend."

They ended up apologizing for attempting to flirt with her and were pretty cool.

-

After a while at the beach, and going around to little shops, we retired to our hotel room.

"I can't believe she's actually getting married. I mean her future husband's alright, but that means I'm going to have two brothers. And then they're gonna have kids and I'm gonna be an aunt. Ugh." Jayden let out a long sigh and fell onto the bed.

"That's part of growing up princess."

"Growing up sucks."

"I know." I laid down on the bed beside her.

"At least I get to do it with you." She grabbed my hand.

"I'm not leaving any time soon."
