i opened my eyes and stretched. i looked at the clock on the wall and saw it was 4:47 pm. i sat up and looked around. no one was there.

"colby?" i asked. i went upstairs to my room before i went anywhere else to change.

i got out some jeans and a tank crop top. i put my hair up and went back downstairs. i looked around some more.

"colby where are you?" i asked. i heard a loud grunt coming from outside.

i looked through the window to see colby outside and punch a punching bag.

he was only in black jeans. sweat glands ran down his chest. the whether here was really nice and hot.

i stepped outside and he glanced over at me then back at the punching bag.

he continued to hit it over and over again before taking a break.

"do you need something?" he asked taking a drink of water.

i shook my head admiring his hair and face. i shook myself out of my reality and looked over to a giant tarp over the grass.

"what's under that?" i asked. he looked over. "a pool
i assume" he answered.

"can you take it off" i asked walking you to it. he stood up and went to the edge and pulled it off.

it revealed a beautiful pool with blue water. since it was warm and we had nothing to do today, i went to go get my bathing suit.

"where are you going?" colby asked as he moved the tarp to the side. "i'll be right back" i said. i went inside and ran upstairs to get my bathing suit.

i quickly changed into a white bathing suit and got a cardigan to cover myself until i got outside.

i went back downstairs and out in the back yard to see colby punching the punching bag again.

i walked out to one of the tanning chairs and took my cardigan off. i was already tan but a little sun never hurt.

i felt the water and it was really warm. i slowly walked down the stairs of the pool and lowered myself into the water.

i looked over to colby who was watching my every move. "you going to get in?" i asked as i adjusted to the water.

"maybe" he said. i smirked knowing he was watching me and went under water so the water came over my body.

i came back up and inhaled a big breath of air.

i looked at colby who was staring at me. once i caught him, he quickly turned around and walked back over to the punching bag.

he began to punch the bag again and i laid back in the water.

it was like 94° degrees outside and the sun wash shining all over the back yard.

the backyard was also pretty big. i went over to my phone and saw texts from mark.

i groaned and looked at them.

m- good morning baby

b- good morning :)

m-what are you doing

b-just taking a swim in the new pool

m- oh send me a pic ;)

i stared at my phone groaning. my phone was water proof so i put it under and took a picture of my chest to the knees.

m- come in babe. send me more ;)

b-my dad is around

i lied

m- just sneak one

b- too late, he's sitting in the chair infront of me

m- damn. maybe later i can get more;))

b- mhm sure

i turned my phone off and tossed it to the side. i took a deep breath and went under water. everything was mumbled.

i closed my eyes and stayed there until i couldn't hold my breath.

i rushed myself back up and took a giant breath in. i opened my eyes and saw colby standing there on the edge.

"are you trying to drown yourself" he said all sweaty.

"i've tried" i said swimming to the shallow end. he looked at me confused but didn't say anything. "are you gonna get in?" i asked.

he shrugged. "i mean maybe" he said. "oh come on you said that last time. just get in" i said.

"ok fine" he said. he really didn't need to change since he was already in shorts.

he walked to the stairs and put his feet in. "jesus it's cold" he complained.

"no it isn't. quit being a big baby" i said. he slowly walked into the water and suddenly jumped under water.

he rushed back up wiping his face. "holy shit" he said. "well that was a dumb ass move" i said shaking my head.

"if i wouldn't have done that then i would've taken too long to get in" he said.

he adjusted himself in the water and began to swim around.

"you seem mad" he said. i look at him. "nope. perfectly good" i lied.

"you're lying. i can tell" he said. "no i'm not" i said. "mhm sure" he said shaking his head. after a few seconds of silence and just the sounds of the water moving, colby broke the silence.

"your father called me and said that next week, we will be moving you and your sister out to Valletta, Europe." he began.

"you will be attending a ball. you'll be staying there for a week or two and meet some of the new guards." he said.

"your father has already arranged a rental home for you and a few of your fathers mates to stay there" he said.

"how many more people will be staying with us?" i asked.

"well it's all girls and your father was arranged by the big boss to take them into his care until further notice" he said.

"they're your age and i think you will get along with them well" he said.

"i hope so" i said.

we swam a bit more and talked about the new arrangements until the sun began to go down.

we got out and went upstairs to change. i got in some black leggings and a big sweater. colby changed into some black jeans and a black shirt with a rose in the back.

it was around 7:36 pm and there was nothing to do. "do you ever plan to break up with that dick head boyfriend of yours?" colby asked as i was in the kitchen getting some pots and pans out as he set on the kitchen island.

"why do you ask that?" i asked getting some white rice and chicken out.

"because that's why you're mad." he said. "how do you know?"

"because i saw you taking a picture of your body for him then threw your phone from you. then after that you were pissed" he explained.

"ok fine. i don't know how i feel about him. i want to break up with him because he is literally the worst but then he's like a drug that gets me away from reality" i said.

he nodded his head. "he sucks dick i bet" he said. "colby shut up" i laughed.

"i'm just saying" he shrugged. i got out everything i needed and began to cook the chicken while the rice was in the rice cooker.

"why do you cook?" he said looking at my every move. "my mom taught me. and she said that she doesn't want her cooking skills to go to waste to i'm keeping her recipes alive" i said.

he nodded his head. "you mom sounds nice" he said in a low voice.

"she was"
