"Daphne, come on and get in the bed with me," I called to her.

"I have to do something real quick and ," She responded. I finished reading the last chapter of The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway on my tablet. The door to the bathroom opens and the light pours out into the bungalow. I looked up quickly at Daphne and I practically jumped out of my skin at the sight of her. She had her hair tied up as per usual, she had on her pajamas, which consisted of an oversized t-shirt, panties and no bra, and she this black dried stuff all over her face. I guess it was some type of beauty mask.

"What the hell, Daphne. You almost gave me a heart attack," I put a hand over my heart.

"Shut up, Sam," She rolled her eyes.

"Jesus. What is that on your face?" I asked.

"It's a blackhead removal mask," She answered as she walked over to our suitcase. She grabbed a small container filled with Shea Butter.

"Oh," I said. She stood up and walked back to the bathroom.

"I'll be out in a second. Don't fall asleep this time," She told me.

"I did not fall asleep last time," I replied.

"Uh..yeah ya did, Sam. I saw and heard you," She deadpanned.

"I'll try to stay up for you, but I can't make any promises," I said.

"Just trifling," She shook her head.

"You weren't saying that yesterday when I had to carry you all the way back here," I shot at her as she walked into the bathroom.

"That's because you kept on walking and left me behind," She said.

"You were the one who said that she needed a good workout," I countered, "Although, you look fine to me."

"I'm just trying to drop a few-AAAHHH!" She wailed. I practically jumped out of bed and rush towards the bathroom. I see Daphne standing in the mirror with part of the mask peeled off.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"This shit hurts," She cried out.

"Are you kidding me?" I deadpanned.

"Yes, Sam. It hurts so bad," She said in irritation.

"Do you need some help?" I asked.

"No I got this," She answered. She took in a deep breath and started lifting the mask up from her face. Her face contorted into an expression of pain. I could see her eyes starting to tear up. I frowned deeply and scrunched my eyebrows together. I really hated seeing her in pain and I honestly just wanted this whole thing to end for her, but not before I caught video of this. I walked out of the bathroom and grabbed my phone. I tapped onto the camera and went straight to video so I could record this. I love Daphne, but this is too good to pass up.

"Are you recording me?' She asked.

"Mhm," I replied with a small smile.

"Sam," She whined, "Stoooooop-uhhh." She got up and tried to take the camera away, but I held it up over my head. It's a good thing that I'm taller than her.

"You look even more ridiculous now," I chuckled.

"Sam, seriously. Stop," She sternly said.

"No way, Daph. I may feel bad for you, but this was just too funny."

"No, Sam," She snapped.

"Don't you still need to peel that off?" I asked. She stopped quickly and went over to the sink. She started peeling it off again and she whimpered in pain. I recorded her as I laughed a little.

"What's that common phrase that people always say about beauty, Daphne?" I asked.

"Fuck off, Sam," She said, "Ouch!"

"Beauty is gain? Beauty is the same? Beauty is rain?" I asked, "Oh. I got it. Beauty is pain."

"You're a piece of shit," She hissed as she peeled it off slowly around her nose and cheeks.

"I'm not the one peeling off some painful, black gunk mask from their face," I quipped. She stopped and narrowed her eyes at me. I made sure to put the camera onto her face. She rolled her eyes and turned back to peeling off the mask. I made jokes and snarky remarks towards her about this while she just cursed me out and threatened me.

When she was done, she washed off her face and I kept on recording. She face me with a glare.

"How ya feeling, champ?" I asked. She raised both middle fingers at me.

"That. That's how I'm feeling," She responded.

"Someone's a little salty," I remarked.

"And someone's looking for an ass kicking," She muttered.

"Aww. Don't be mad," I smiled.

"Sam, shut the hell up and move before I kick your ass," She told me. I turned the camera onto my face with a smile.

"Well it seems like somebody is a little cranky," I joked.

"Fuck you, Sam," She yelled from the bedroom.

"Gladly," I smirked. I ended the video and then walked back into the room after flipping the light switch off. I walked over to my side of the bed and plugged up my phone. I got into the bed next to Daphne. I tried pulling her into my arms, but she swatted away my hands and turned onto her side. I chuckled softly and tried again. She removed my hands from around her. I did it again and this time I pulled her into me. She didn't even snuggle closer to me. She just lied there limply as I held her in my arms. I brushed my lips softly against the back of her neck. She acted as if it didn't effect her, but it did. I know it did.

"Daphne," I sang in her ear. She used one hand to push away my face. I kissed her palm and she quickly moved it away to wipe it on the comforter.

"Oh so you're denying my kisses?" I asked. She said nothing at all and just closed her eyes to get ready for sleep.

"Daaaaphneeee," I said in a sing-song voice, " You can't ignore me forever." Silence was all I got from her.

"Daphne, come on. Say Something, I'm giving up on you," I crooned. A ghost of a smile appeared on her lips.

"Ah. I got you to smile," I remarked. She folded her lips inward to hide it, but she didn't hide it very well.

"If you say you want a good time," I started to sing, "Well here I am baby, here I am baby." She rolled her eyes as I started to sing the song to her.

"Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me," I kissed her cheek softly, "Tell me what's on your mind." She giggled softly as I kissed her cheek repeatedly.

"If you want it, girl come and get it," I moved my lips to her neck and she giggled even more, "All this is here for you." Her giggles turned into full blown laughter as I kissed her neck.

"You suck at singing," She murmured.

"Finally..." I mumbled into her neck, "...the queen has spoken." She chuckled.

"You're such an annoying dork," She said.

"I'm only a dork for you," I responded.

"Well I still haven't forgiven you for recording me in the bathroom," She frowned at me.

"Build a bridge and get over it, Daphne," I responded.

"You're a dick," She huffed.

"Well I do have a penis anyways," I countered. She huffed again and tried to move away from me.

"Uh-uh. You're not going anywhere tonight, Miss Daphne," I whispered softly into her ear.

"Sam, I don't have time for your childish games," She sighed in exasperation.

"All I want to do is cuddle with you," I said.

"Yeah right," She muttered.

"I'm serious, Daphne. I want to cuddle," I responded.

"And I want you to leave me alone, but I guess we can't have everything we want in life," She quipped.

"I'm done," I remove my arms from around her and move away from her. She peers over at me over her shoulder.

"What do you mean by you're done?" She asked.

"You are just too sassy for me today," I replied.

"So that's it?" She asked as I pulled the covers up over my shoulder.

"Yep," I answered.

"Just like that?" She looked at me.

"Just like that," I responded.

"I don't believe you," She eyed me suspiciously.

"You can either believe me or don't believe me. I'm just done," I shrugged.

"Alright," She got under the covers and started to get comfortable on her side of the bed. I reached over and turned off the lamp.

The next morning, I woke up to the feeling of a warm body next to me. I looked to find Daphne laying next to me. I laughed softly at the irony of the situation. I wanted to cuddle, she didn't, and I didn't want to cuddle, but she did. I'm giving her shit for this when we both wake up later on. I kissed her forehead and pulled her into my arms.

Later on that day, Daphne and I were at the beach playing in the water. She had splashed me earlier and now I had picked her up and carried a little ways out in the water. She shrieked with laughter and told me to put her down.

"Say sorry," I told her.

"Uh-uh," She shook her head. I acted like I was gonna drop her and she screamed. I laughed at her.

"If you don't say it, I'll drop you for real," I said.

"Fine. I'm sorry," She told me. I smiled and set her down. She tried walking away, but I pulled her back by the arm.

"What, Sam?" She asked.

"Give me a kiss," I answered.

"What? No," She shook her head.

"Come on, Daphne. Just one kiss," I said.

"Uh-uh," She shook her head.

"Well you're gonna kiss me whether you like it or not," I said. I pulled her towards me to try and kiss her, but she pushed me down and started running away. I landed on my ass in the water. She was gonna get it. I stood up and went after her. I finally caught up to her and wrapped my arms around her from behind. I kissed her repeatedly on the cheek and she giggled as I did so.

The rest of the day, we hung out at the beach until sunset before heading back to our bungalow to spend some quality time with each other since it was our last night here together.

"Sam, I want to give you all of me," She said.

"Are you sure?" I scrunched my eyebrows together.

"Mhm," She nodded.

"Are you positive? There's no going back after this," I looked at her worriedly.

"I know, Sam," She said, "I trust you." That's all I needed to hear. I kissed her softly and passionately on the lips. She kissed me back.

That night Daphne and I became one. We made love to each other all night.
