The Next Day:
Melanie wakes up and turns over, expecting to feel Devin laying right next to her. She gets confused as she feels a cold spot instead of his warmth. Then, she finally hears the shower going off, signaling that Devin was in the shower. She sits up from her spot, grimacing at the pain shooting up her back. They probably went a little too far, last night.
She reaches over for her glasses and puts them on before grabbing her phone. She starts scrolling through her phone and replying to texts. She sends one last text to Mia, telling her that they would be ready in a couple hours.
Devin gets out of the shower and puts his boxers on. He sees that his girlfriend was awake and smiles. He walks out of the bathroom and towards the bed. She turns her head and smiles at the sight of him. "Morning," she says to him.
He smiles at her. "Morning, mamas," he says, leaning over to her side to give her a kiss. He kisses her a few more times before pulling away. "How'd you sleep?"
Melanie nods at him. "Good," she replies. "How was your shower?"
He kisses her cheek before turning to his suitcase. "It felt nice." He starts smirking as he grabs some clothes out. "Would've been better if you joined me, though."
She rolls her eyes at his words. "If I joined you, we would've taken a lot longer to get ready than we're supposed to." He laughs at her. "Not to mention, my family is waiting downstairs."
His smirk grows as he starts getting dressed. "You think Taylor heard us again?"
Melanie starts blushing like crazy as she throws a pillow at his back, making him laugh. "Finish getting dressed." She gets out of bed and walks to the bathroom.
As she was walking to the bathroom, Devin checks her out and licks his bottom lip. All mine, he thought. He snaps out of his thoughts when the shower turns on and goes back to getting ready. He gets dressed in a black v-neck and ripped dark washed denim shorts, paired with black and white Old Skool Vans.
Once he finished getting ready, Melanie's phone starts ringing. "Babe! Your phones ringing!" he calls out.
"Can you check who it is for me?!" she calls back.
Devin goes up to her phone to see who was calling her. He sees her moms contact photo. "It's your mom," he says.
"Can you answer it?!" she tells him.
He slides his thumb across the screen to answer. "Hi, mama," he says, cheekily grinning. He puts her on speaker as he walks into the bathroom when Mel was getting out of the shower.
Yvonne chuckles at him. "Hi, Devin," she says. "Where's Mel?"
"She's getting out of the shower right now," he replies. He hands her a towel.
"Oh, okay," Yvonne says. "Tell her to hurry up and finish getting ready. Billy wants to leave in one hour."
Devin looks at Mel to confirm that she heard it. She nods back at him as she starts getting dressed. He goes to speak into the phone. "Yeah, she's almost ready."
"Okay," Yvonne replies. "See you guys down there."
They say their final goodbyes and hang up. Melanie looks at Devin once her bra was on. "Can you pack my bag with everything?" she asks him.
He nods at her. "Yeah," he replies. "It might still be packed with everything cuz we got a little busy last night." He smirks as he finishes his sentence.
She rolls her eyes at him. "Go check, please." He laughs as he exits the bathroom to do as she says while she finishes getting ready.
He opens the small backpack and sees that everything they had was still there. "Everything's ready to go," he calls to her. He goes on his phone to check on reservations for a certain restaurant he wanted to take them to, tonight.
"Okay!" she replies as she puts her contacts in. She decides not to wear makeup since it was another hot day and sticks with mascara and lip gloss. She brushes her hair and pulls it back into a half-up/half-down hairstyle with a black scrunchy to match her outfit, which was a white tube top and high-waisted dark washed denim shorts paired with white high-top Converse. She also puts on the same mouse ears as yesterday.
She cleans the bathroom up a bit and goes to throw her clothes in their dirty clothes pile. Devin, who was standing at the end of the bed, sees her exit the bathroom and smirks at her outfit. He pulls up Snapchat on his phone and turns his camera to her. He starts recording and hyping her up. "Damn, babe," he says.
Melanie jumps at the sound of his voice and sees him recording her. "Oh, my god," she says.
He ignores her and takes her hand in his as he moves his camera up and down. "Gorgeous, baby, gorgeous." Even though she didn't do very much for her look today, he thought that was enough to make her the most beautiful girl in the world. He stops recording and captions the video '😍🤤🥵'. He hears a camera snap and looks up at her. He sees her smirking as she holds the phone up towards him. He smiles at her. "Did I look good?"
She rolls her eyes at him. "You always look good, Pooka." She posts the photo to her Snapchat story with the caption 'wow😍🤤'.
He pulls her closer to him and wraps his arms around her waist. He lays multiple kisses on her cheek. "You really do look beautiful, bebe," he tells her.
She blushes and wraps her arms around his neck. "Thank you," she says.
He tightly hugs her and lifts her off her feet, making her let out a small squeal. He kisses her cheek. "Gorgeous," he mumbles before kissing her cheek again. "Absolutely gorgeous."
She starts getting shy again. "You mean it?"
He gives her a look. "Whatchu talkin' about? 'Course I mean it, mamas." He puts her back on her feet but keeps his arms around her. "To me, you are the most beautiful woman I've ever laid eyes on. No one will ever top you. That's a promise."
A small smile appears on her face. "Thank you," she says quietly.
He smiles back at her. "I love you, Lani," he says to her.
Her smile grows. "I love you, too, Pooka," she says. They meet in the middle for a kiss. They pull away when Devin's phone starts ringing.
He pulls away and kisses her one more time. "Hang on." He holds his phone up, keeping one arm around her, and sees it was Taylor calling him. "It's your brother." He answers the call and puts it on speaker. "'Sup, Taylor?"
"Is Mel ready, yet, or is she doing makeup for a whole village?" Taylor asks, sounding annoyed.
Melanie raises her eyebrow at his tone of voice. Devin chuckles nervously after seeing her reaction. "Yeah, you're on speaker, man," he says.
The line goes silent for a few seconds. "Oh," Taylor mumbles. "Anyway, are you guys ready? We're about to leave in 10 minutes."
Devin looks at Melanie for confirmation. She nods at him. "Yeah, we'll meet you at valet," he says.
"Alright, see you guys there," Taylor says. They say their final byes and hang up.
Melanie goes to grab her backpack and Devin, their sweatshirts. They head to the door after making sure they had everything. He opens the door for her, as always, and follows her out.
They meet everyone in the lobby, and Taylor looks at them. "Finally," he says, jokingly. Melanie raises her eyebrow at him, making him cower down. "My bad."
Devin chuckles at him. "Don't worry, man," he says. "I'm scared of that look, too." That look Mel uses can make anyone do whatever she wants them to.
They all laugh at his words and continue to talk as they wait for their designated cars. They arrive a few minutes later, and they all get in and start the drive to the park.
They arrive at the park about 20 minutes later and park at the top of the structure again. Devin gives Melanie his wallet to put in her bag as they exit the car. They meet everyone outside and all put on some sun block. Florida sun was brutal.
They go into the park a few minutes later after getting their MagicBands and having the cast members scan there tickets. "Okay, what should we do first?" Billy asks them.
Andrew was the first to reply. "I say, we get something to eat." Everyone agrees with him.
Mia was the one to pull up the map on her phone this time. "Um," she mumbles. "Do you guys just wanna get something quick at Starbucks?" she asks. "Cuz it's right behind us."
They all agree and head to Starbucks. Since the line was a little long, Melanie and Devin decided to wait for them. They get everyone's order and go wait in line. The line moves rather quickly, and they order everything within minutes. Once they paid for everything, they go to where everyone was waiting.
Mia looks at Devin. "How much was it?" she asks. "We'll Venmo you."
Devin shakes head at them. "No, it's fine," he says. "I got y'all."
Andrew looks at him. "You sure, man?"
Devin nods at him. "Yeah, don't worry about it." He had a surprise later anyway. They all thank him and go back to their conversations.
Their order was ready a little later, and they get whatever they ordered and were off to the first ride. They decided to go on Splash Mountain first to cool off. Like yesterday, Melanie's parents didn't wanna get wet, so they stayed back to watch Chase since he was too small.
They scan their magic bands and wait in line. The wait was 30 minutes for the fast passes, but the regular line was almost two hours long. So, it was most certainly a lot better. They were already almost halfway through the line.
While they were waiting in line, they all had their own conversations, and they were obviously sweating cuz it was already 90 degrees outside. Mel and Mia left their bags in Chases stroller, so they didn't have anything to help.
Devin and Melanie were leaning against the railing, and he had his arm around her shoulders while hers were wrapped around his torso. He goes on his phone and starts scrolling through Instagram. He likes a photo of Kelly and Rachel at the beach in New Orleans and comments 'aren't y'all cold?🥶'.
Melanie sees the comment and chuckles at his comment. "You know they're gonna come back at us about the weather down here, right?" she mentions.
Devin shrugs at her. "Oh, well, least we won't freeze to death after being hit with water," he says, making her laugh. He puts his phone in his pocket before tightening his arm around her and laying a kiss on her forehead. "I love you."
She smiles into his chest. "I love you, too."
They get on the ride 30 minutes later, Jake and Mia sitting in front, and Melanie and Devin right behind Andrew and Taylor. "Yo, if my shoes get wet, we are getting a refund on these bands," Taylor says, playfully. Everyone laughs at his words.
~After the ride~
Jake and Mia were the only ones that got really wet. Devin and Mel were perfectly fine and rubbed it in everyone's face. They meet up with Billy and Yvonne, who were waiting by the jungle cruise. They laugh at Jake and Mia. "Wow, Jake wanted to sit up front?" Billy asks.
Jake nods at his grandfather. "Yep," he says, smiling wildly.
Mia rolls her eyes. "Well, at least we're cool now," she says.
Melanie laughs at her. "Okay, well, where should we go next?" she asks.
Andrew gets an idea and points behind his parents. "Chase likes the jungle cruise over on the west coast," he says. "Let's go on there so that he's having fun, too." They agree and all go wait in line after scanning their magic bands.
~Later That Afternoon~
After going on many rides all throughout the park, hey decided to get a bite to eat since the last time they ate was when they got there. They went on Splash Mountain, Jungle Cruise, Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, etc., and worked up a huge appetite.
Devin had a surprise for them for this meal. Luckily, they got off their last ride in time, which just so happened to be Space Mountain. He was gonna keep his mouth shut, until... "Where do you guys wanna eat?" Billy asks them.
Devin smirks at the question. "I have something in mind," he says. "Let's go." He leads everyone to the secret restaurant.
They arrive at the entrance to the restaurant, and they all look shocked as they read it. Melanie looks at her boyfriend. "You got a reservation to 'Be Our Guest'?" she asks.
Devin nods at her. "Yeah," he replies. "I booked a reservation this morning while you were getting ready."
Mia smiles at him. "Thanks for this, Devin," she says.
Devin smiles back at her. "You're welcome." He turns to the hostess. "I have a reservation under 'Armani'." He uses his middle name for reservations so that he doesn't attract too much attention.
The hostess leads them to a table in the West Wing. They sit down, and she hands them the menus. "Your waiter will be with you, shortly," she says. They all thank her as she leaves.
Devin looks at everyone. "Alright, guys, the food is on me tonight," he says.
They all thank him, and Melanie turns to him. "You know, you're really winning them over," she tells him.
Devin shrugs. "I know," he says, making her chuckle. "But I'm honestly just doing this cuz I actually appreciate everyone."
Melanie smiles at him. "That's very sweet of you, Pooka." They meet for a quick kiss before turning back to everyone.
~Time skip to Dessert~
They ate all their dinner, and are now starting on dessert. Melanie ordered the grey stuff and takes a bite. She's blown away after the first bite. "Oh, my god," she mumbles.
Devin looks at her. "Is everything okay?" he asks her.
She looks at him. "The grey stuff actually is delicious," she says, semi-quoting Beauty and the Beast.
Devin looks confused. "Really?"
She nods. "Yeah." She offers him a bite.
He takes the bite she gives him, and his eyes widen. "Damn," he mumbles. They laugh at his reaction and finish their dessert.
They leave the restaurant 15 minutes later. They start walking towards the castle. Mia remembers something. "Mel, you and Devin still need to take your castle pictures," she says.
Melanie smiles at her. "Oh, yeah," she says.
Devin looks at her. "What is it?" he asks.
Melanie smiles at him. "Our castle pictures," she replies.
He realizes what she means. "Ohhh," he let out. "Yeah, let's do it."
They pull out their phones and hand them to Mia so that she can take the pictures. After the pictures were taken, the entire family decides to have a photo taken by the photographer by the Walt and Mickey statue. Once the photos were taken, they go along with the rest of their day.
~Back at the Hotel~
Devin opens the door and lets Melanie walk in first. "Have you had fun so far?" she asks him.
He nods at her. "Yeah, I have," he replies. "It was nice of your parents to get this whole thing arranged."
She smiles at him as she puts her bag and mouse ears on the TV stand. "That means they really like you," she says. The way Melanie's parents lets you know they like you, they invite you on their family vacations. They definitely showed that this week.
He smiles in relief as he sits on the bed. "Well, that's a relief. I don't have to try to impress them."
She goes to stand in front of him. "I told you they liked you."
He pulls her closer so that she was standing between his legs. "I'm glad that I had nothing to worry about."
She smiles at him. "It's crazy how you were able to charm them in a matter of a few days."
He chuckles as he puts his hands on her hips. "Yeah, I'm off my game. With you, it was one look and BAM!"
She slaps his chest, making him laugh. "I get it. Anyway, I'm gonna get these contacts off and get ready for bed." He nods, and they kiss one last time before she walks to the bathroom.
He gets up and grabs some comfortable clothes to change into. Once he was changed, he walks into the bathroom as Melanie puts on one of his shirts. He hugs her from behind as she starts brushing her teeth. He pecks her cheek before going to brush his own teeth.
Once they were done, they head back to the bed and crawl into bed. Devin turns to face her. "You're so cute," he says to her.
She blushes at him. "You're cute," she says.
He chuckles at her and goes to kiss her cheek. "I love you, Lani."
She smiles at him. "I love you, too, Armani." They kiss one last time before settling into bed and immediately falling asleep.
