About Last Summer

Chapter One

Skylar's POV

"I love you Skylar be safe," My mom said to me as I was about to board the plane.

"I will ma, I promise," I said

Ma looked at me dead serious and said, " For your sake, I sure hope so, I don't want to get a call from your aunt about your behavior in California." she sighed before continuing. "That being said I hope you have a good summer and make sure you call me every day."

I turned around and hugged my stepdad goodbye. "Be good kid, love you. Make us proud." He said with a small smile. He ruffled my short curly hair as he held me in a tight hug.

He let me go as he heard the final boarding call and told me he loved me as I went over to hug my mom for the last time in the next two months.

I started walking towards the gate and turned around to wave at my parents before handing the attendant my boarding pass and walked through the gate.

I walked to my seat and placed my suitcase in the overhead bin, then I sat down, placing my black bookbag between my feet. I leaned back and relaxed, putting on my beats and playing J. Cole before trying to fall asleep and prepare for this five-hour flight from Atlanta to Los Angeles.

I woke up with a jolt when I felt the plane hit the tarmac. I looked out the window and took notice of the airport I had never seen before turning my head to the left to be greeted by an older man grinning at me.

"About time you woke up, I was starting to worry that you were dead," He said chuckling.

"uh yeah sorry, I guess'' I said smiling awkwardly at the man.

The guy kept staring at me grinning widely. I was starting to get uncomfortable when he asked me for my name.

"It's Skylar what's yours" I questioned. He said his name was Jonathan and I just smiled and turned my head back to the tiny plane window.

I released a mental sigh of relief when I heard a males voice overhead telling us that we could leave the plane.

I pulled my backpack over my shoulders while standing up and reaching to grab my suitcase from the bin above. Right when I went to reach it, Jonathan stopped me and grabbed it for me.

I thanked him before saying goodbye and walking off the plane saying it was nice to meet him.

I walked off the plane and through the terminal before exiting the gate completely and leaving to baggage claim.

As I got to baggage claim I noticed Jonathan was there too. It was starting to creep me out so I just waited on the other side hoping my bag came soon and he didn't notice me. Eventually my bag came and luckily for me Jonathan didn't seem to notice me.

I walked through the airport before reaching the exit doors. I pulled my purple iPhone 11 out of my pocket before searching through my contants and finding my Aunt Gigi's phone number.

I would be staying with her for the entire summer which I was completely fine with considering I hadn't seen her since last Christmas which was over 6 months ago, considering it was now the middle of June.

I had never been to the west coast before and was excited to see the beach since I had only been once in my 16 years of life. Though the heat was a little strange to me. I had only ever experienced the humid heat of Atlanta where the weather could get up to 110 with 70 percent humidity. While the weather here was dry and only in the 90's.

I finally got out of my thoughts and pressed the call button on my phone to let my aunt know I had arrived and needed to be picked up.

She answered on the first ring making me think she was probably staring at the phone waiting for it to ring. I wouldn't be shocked if she was, she could be weird.

"Hey Gigi I've landed and I'm waiting outside. Are you almost here?" She answered back telling me she was almost there and to start walking down more. She wanted me to call her Gigi instead of aunt because she thought aunt made her sound old.

I walked for a minute or two before seeing a black Porsche that I knew was hers. Gigi loved flashy cars and she had the money to do it so why not. She was a surgeon in LA's biggest hospital so she practically had money to burn.

The passenger window opened and inside I saw Gigi wearing flashy sunglasses and her hair in box braids tied up in a bun.

I smiled at her and rolled my eyes playfully when I heard her say "hello darling" in a mock British accent.

She got out of the car helping me put my bags in the trunk of the car. Once everything was situated I practically jumped into her arms squeezing her with all my strength.

We both got into the car and stared driving to her house near the beach while having a conversation and catching up about how we were doing.

"Have anyone special that I don't know about" she asked.

I laughed shaking my head no. Gigi knee I was gay and so did everyone else but she was the first person I told because I knew she would except me considering she was a lesbian herself.

Eventually we got to her house and I swear my mouth hit the ground. There had to be at least 6 bedrooms in that place.

We walked inside and she showed me around. Like I guessed there was exactly 6 bedroom and 5 bathrooms. There was game room and a pool. She even built me a half court in the backyard knowing that one of my biggest passions was basketball and that without it I'd probably die.

She showed me to my room. It was pretty big with a queen sized bed in the middle. There was a white desk along the wall that was empty besides a desk lamp. Other than that in the room was a dresser on the other side of the room a been bag chair two nightstands, one on each side of the bed and a mounted TV with a TV stand underneath it that had a PS4 a few controllers and roku remote.

Gigi showed me the closest which was a nice walk in closet that even had a window in it. She also showed me an en-suite bathroom that had a jack and Jill sink with a separate part that had the toilet and shower. She bid me goodnight with a kiss on the cheek before closing the door to the room and waking away.

I set my bags down and started putting my clothes away in the closet. I took off my blue Jordan ones then stripped my jeans, hoodie and T-shirt of leaving me in my socks, boxers and sports bra.

I practically fell into the bed, falling asleep almost instantly as my head hit the soft pillow as my body sunk down into the silk sheets covering the memory foam mattress.
