JJ'S POV:
"Okay, so I guess I'll see you at Penelope's house." I said through my rolled down window.
"Or you know we could save time and you can just change and get ready here," Emily started. "I mean it would save you the trip back home"
"Yea sure that would work great, and I can just drive the both of us to Penelope's seeing as you probably don't know where she lives." I chuckled turning off the ignition.
We arrived at her apartment door, which also appeared to be the hotel suite. As soon as she unlocked it and we stepped inside, my jaw practically hit the floor.
"Emily, this place is beautiful." I marveled
"Yea I didn't really want it though it was kind of a gift from my mother...and just when I thought moving to America would cut all ties with her." Emily sighed.
"Hey, you alright." I asked sympathetically.
"Yea, yea don't mind me. Let's get ready for that pool party." She said immediately changing her mood from despair to cheer.
"Okay umm where is your bathroom?" I asked retrieving my suit from the shopping bag.
"Here actually use the bathroom in my room, I'm having the others repaired so the water and toilet don't work in them." Emily said showing me the way to her room.
I grabbed the shopping bag and followed behind Emily to the master bedroom. I think it might've been more gorgeous than the rest of the house.
I walked into her huge master bathroom, and began stripping from my clothes. Right as I was about to put my swimsuit on I heard Emily call out my name.
"Hey umm Jayje can you give me a hand real quick." She said from the other side of the door.
"Umm yea sure give me a sec." I knew I didn't have enough time to put on my bathing suit, so quickly peering around the bathroom I found a towel hanging over a bar.
"That'll work." I said quietly to myself.
I walked out of the bathroom with the towel tightly secured around my body to insure that no slip ups were to happen.
"Umm the zipper got stuck and I don't want to break it." Emily awkwardly chuckled.
I awkwardly stood there for a second not even registering what she was saying, and just taking in once again how perfect her body looked in that swimsuit.
"JJ did you here me?" Emily asked again now using her arms to cover her stomach.
*Good job you're making her insecure* I thought to myself.
"Oh sorry I kinda dazed off because of how perfect you look, literally I'm so jealous." Saved it.
"Y-You're jealous of me..I'm jealous of you I mean look at you...you're perfect." Emily said back hanging her head down.
"Hey Em, look at me, you are beautiful and perfect to me and if ANYONE thinks other wise they are obviously blind." I said walking over to her and giving her a huge hug.
"Thank you JJ, I really needed to hear that and you don't know how much it means coming from you." Emily quietly sobbed into my shoulder.
"No problem, now let's get this swimsuit fixed and get our party on with the ladies!" I said to lighten the mood.
My hands shook as I reached out to fix the zipper that was placed dangerously close to her breasts.
"Okay try and zip it up now." I said standing back up after the little war I encountered with the material.
