"My mom has sent me 30 messages and I have 19 missed calls" Alina informed Colten

"What a stupid idea this was" She said looking at her phone

"Colten!" She exclaimed and he bummed

"What is this?" She asked turning the phone to him he took a slight glance since he was driving

"An Instagram post" he said super chill

"everybody will know it's me, they saw us getting out of the golf together we haven't said anything in a whole day

"everybody will know it's me, they saw us getting out of the golf together we haven't said anything in a whole day... "

"I've got it under control"

"You have ?"

"Alina as sad as this is, people will never believe we are together they have only seen us fight and our family as only seen us as ... friends. I told my mom we fight and I dropped you off at some motel and left my way, then I picked you. It's lame excuse but she bought just like your mom will" he said parking the car outside her house

"So you're telling me no one will for a split second think this is me...?"

"Alina... they will never have that idea on their heads...not even our family"

"Still... you remember Greta from the shop, oh and John, they thought we were a couple."

"They are old... they know things" he said getting off of the car, his relaxed face and composure made her furious

"So you're saying people will never believe I like you?"

"Hm yes basically" Colten shrugged his shoulders "they have this idea on their heads that-"

"-no" she interrupts him "then that idea ends today "What?" He asked closing the car door

She walked to her house and he followed her "What are you going to do?"

"Tell them"

"Alina..." He said but she was already inside, once they got in it looked like any other normal Sunday where everything was just fine "Don't do anything" he whispered

"do you like me?" She murmured back

"A lot" he answered with honesty "Since I know you I in fact think I lo-" he was about to say but she interrupted

"Then that's it I will them"

"you're here,great" Anna said hugging Alina and then slapping Colten "What kind of behavior is yours lately. Leaving her in a motel, alone...You're in trouble boy"

"I know" he simply said, his dad came into view and saw him

"You're grounded" his dad announced

"Knew that too" Colten answered, they walked near they're family who was outside in the big table setting the food, Alina's father was on the grilled with Thomas helping him, the kids were playing while the moms were making salad and rice.
