I knocked on the specific door while munching on some sweet and chill potato chrips. I was nearly done with this freshly opened packet and the door still hadn't opened. I pound my fist against the door for a while before finishing off my chirps.

"It's called having some patience."

"Piss off." Dismissing the remark of the random man unlocking his cabin two doors away. I crunch up the packet and knock on the door the last time determined to just head back to my room and call it a night anyway.

When there is no answer for a while I decided to leave but then the door flew open.

"Sup, Ruby. What are you doing here?"

I look him over. Water running down his body. He only had on grey sweatpant.

"Oh nothing. I was just in the neighbourhood." I respond playfully.

I place my hand on his bare wet chest pushing him out of the way and walking into his cabin and dropping on his bed.

"Ruby you can't be here. I have... I'm about to go out."

"Where to?" I made myself comfortable on the bed. Rest my hands behind my head.

He lifts an eyebrow. "What?"

"Where are you going?"

"And why should I tell you that?"

I lift myself onto my elbows. "Pardon?"

"I don't have time for this, Ruby. Can you just get out."

"What the fuck is actually going on right now?" I chuckle in honest confusion. "Am I missing something?"

He walks to the door and opens it. At this point besides being utterly confused, I'm also upset and disgusted at how rude his being.

Shaking my head. I get up and walk out of the room. Not bothering to look back.

What a fucktard.

I actually thought we were making progress. That we were friends.

The knocking on the door doesn't stop. I moan pulling away from Connor. He pulls me back into him, prompting a giggle out of me.

"I'll be right back." I step out the shower and wrap a towel around my body. Water dripping from my hair as i walk out the bathroom toward the door.

I look through the peep hole. Rolling my eyes at the person stood at my door.

"What do you want?" I snap as soon as I open the door.

His eyes trail down my body and back up. "It's almost as if you were expecting me."

I roll my eyes, visible annoyed. It all felt like deju vu of last night but this time I'm the one too occupied to entertain his bullshit. Life is funny like that. "I'm busy, Leroy. What do you want?"

"You always say you're busy. C'mon I brought snacks." He brings up the carry bag to eyes length. "We can chill and watch a movie."

I 'tsk' prepared to shut the door in his face but Lee holds it from closing.

He opens his mouth to speak but another deeper voice comes from behind me.

"Are you coming back in? The hot water's get cold." Connor shows up behind me with a similar white towel hanging lossly around his waist. Showing off his V-line and beautiful abs and muscles.

"Bye, Lee." That's the last this I say before closing the door. Connor hoists me off the ground and kisses me rough and hard. My body slams against the door and a soft moan comes out of me.

At the back of my head, I'm hoping Leroy heard all of that.

I don't entertain the thought for long before Connor brings me back into the present moment.
