The day before they leave for the festival, Natalie meets up with an "old friend".
i just picked up the car we're renting for the trip
want to come help me load it up with our stuff?
hey cal! not home at the moment
i'll help you later, tho
not home? you were here before i left
where'd you go?
i met up with a friend who's in town for the day
a friend?
well, kind of...
do you remember jason?
your stupid ex?
lol but yeah, that's him
he's in town?
i thought he left the state or something?
he had a family thing to attend and asked if i wanted to meet up
i had nothing to do, so i said yes 🥰
why would you ever meet up with the dude who cheated on you?
you're just making him think he can worm his way back to you
i don't see what's so bad about it?
it's not like i'll see him again after this
are you sure you won't?
i mean, you obviously kept in touch
he texted me about a month or so ago to apologize
i forgave him because i'm not a petty bitch
yeah, well i still think he's a dick and you should stay away from him
it's fine, cal
we're just gonna have some food then go our separate ways
no need to be overprotective... though it's kinda cute
🤭🤭🤭
i don't have to be overprotective if you're not being such an easy target
what does that even mean??
we're just hanging out
it always starts out like that, doesn't it?
next thing i know, he'll start showing up at home
do i smell jealousy?
don't worry, baby bro
you'll still get all of my attention 😉
oh please, don't turn this into something that it's not
fine, i was just trying to keep you from worrying your little head
i can handle myself, you know?
anyway, it's such a good day
maybe you should come out and meet me later?
no, thanks
have other plans
are you mad at me??
just let me know if you need a lift back home or something
you didn't answer my question, cal!!
i'm sure you can figure it out for yourself, nat
Later that day, Natalie chats Lena up.
i think i just got into an argument with cal?
over what?
on the day before our trip??
about jason... i met up with him earlier
oh...
that's on you, babe
why would you meet up with him? lol
honestly?
at first, i was just curious about what he had to say
what did he say?
he wanted to get back together lol
he's been asking me that since we started talking again
oh god, nat
please don't be dumb
i'm not getting back with him!
i was just curious, promise
and maybe... something else
like what? 🤨
i wanted to see if cal would get jealous
...
and you obviously got the answer you wanted 🙄
sometimes i wonder what's actually up with the two of you
what do you mean? we're just really close
we're also protective of each other and jealousy's just a part of that
yeah, i can clearly see that but...
but what?
nevermind. you just play too much for your own good, nat
i can't help that i luuuv me some drama
anyway, i'll make it up to him before we leave
if you say so 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
we're going to the festival to have fun, remember?
yessss, babe
don't worry!! 😘 just get your cute fits ready~
That evening, Natalie tries to brighten up Caleb’s mood.
dinner's ready!
mom and dad aren't gonna be home until much later, so it's just us
i'm fine
i'll eat later
CALEB
i made us your favorite pasta and it took a while, so get your ass over here
i told you, i'm not in the mood to eat
i'll just reheat mine later
no, you're gonna come here and eat with me
then we'll talk about why you're being so dramatic about jason
hahaha
i'm being dramatic?
is that what you think this is?
well, obviously...
you've been mad at me since you found out i met up with him
you've got this wrong, nat
don't give a shit who you meet with
right, of course you don't
should i send you screenshots of our convo earlier?
i don't like jason, that's all
he's always given me the ick
i have no idea what you saw in him
well, aside from his lambo...
he's got a nice bod and he's also...
what?
do you really want to know?
might spoil your mood even more 😏
know what, forget i even asked
fine, fine... i'm sorry, okay?
i was just teasing, cal
forgive your older sis, pleeeeease?
i'll think about it
what can i do to make you think quicker? 🤭
should i go get your favorite tiramisu for dessert?
from cafe bloom?
of course, i know it's the only one you like
nah, it's fine... it'll take more than just dessert to make up for this
is that a challenge, baby bro?
lol
why are you being so pushy about this, hm?
because i want us to have a great time at the festival
and that starts with fixing your mood before we leave tomorrow!
yeah, i was thinking of not going anymore
DON'T YOU DARE BACK OUT, CALEB
i already paid for everything!!
this is our first big trip as adults, remember??
idk, i'm just not feeling it anymore
😤😤😤😤
what do you actually want, cal?
i already apologized
unfollow jason on social media
that'll be a good start
...
you don't have to do it if you still plan on seeing him
fine, i'll unfollow and block him
you'll thank me for that, trust
maybe, maybe not...
anyway, i already did what you wanted
come down for dinner!!
one more thing, though
what else? 🤨
i want dinner by the pool
it's nice out...
you want me to set a table up by the pool? 🤨🤨🤨
yeah. you wanted to better my mood, right?
you're such a spoiled brat
am i really the brat between us?
besides, you're the one who asked
GIVE ME A FEW MINUTES, BRAT
hahahaha
take your time, big sis 😉
About an hour later...
all done 🥰
dinner's served, just how you wanted it
...
what's with the swimsuit?
you wanted dinner by the pool, right?
i had to dress for the occasion
is that why you took over an hour?
i had to make sure it was special duh
it's just dinner
ARE YOU COMING OR NOT
alright, let me get dressed appropriately then
good, so you do know how to take a hint
that looks more than a simple hint lmao
you haven't even seen the back yet
for christ's sake, nat
just getting some last bits of sun
i wasn't able to really tan this week
...
get here before the food gets cold, k?
i'm worried it's not just the food that might get cold
LOL
don't worry, baby bro
if i get cold, you'll be able to tell 😉🤭
i'm sure i will...
