"Today was interesting to say the least. I felt less annoyed by Eleanor's presence. Actually, I wanted to be around her more and talk to her. Going into this fake marriage I assumed she'd be a spoiled brat with a rotten attitude. . .kind of like me I guess you could say. But today, at the beach? The way she looked at that family, you could just see it in her face that she wants none of the riches our Elite life has granted us. It only takes so little to make her happy. I don't need to buy her a diamond necklace or bracelet to keep her happy. Hell today all I had to do was lay on a beach with her and she was more than content. Probably the happiest I've seen her since we've been married.

"The way she looked in that bikini too.." I gulped, trying to control the thoughts going around in my head.

"Mate you're in LOVE!" My friend shouted with a laugh and clapped my back.

I gave him a cold glare and rolled my eyes. "Oh shut the hell up Zayn. You're gonna piss me off."

That only made my friend Zayn laugh harder, and he threw his head back in laughter. After the beach, Eleanor and I went back to the hotel and my friend Zayn hit me up saying he was in Miami as well and said we should meet up. If I had to say I had a best friend, it would definitely be Zayn. Both of us were a bit of trouble makers back in the day but his family moved to the United States before he went into University.

So here we were reunited at a small whole in the wall bar.

He's also the only other person that knows my marriage with Eleanor is fake. At least to my knowledge. I know he won't tell another soul.

"What is wrong with you? You see the first sign of love and you shut it out."

"Not true, I let love in the last time and she used me." I defended myself.

"Clearly from all that you told me, Eleanor seems nothing like it. She seems very down to earth. We should go on a double date, you two with Gigi and I." He suggested.

"I don't know." I said hesitantly, rubbing the back of my neck.

"Oh come on! It'll be fun!! I'm sure the girls will get along." He said and took a chug of his drink.

I nodded my head with a hum, Eleanor on my mind. I wonder what she was doing. Was she napping? Watching the tele?

I brought out my phone and saw I had no messages from her. I'm not gonna lie, my heart sank a little. Part of me would rather be at the hotel with her right now. I quickly pushed those thoughts away.

What was happening to me?

"So obviously you like this girl, whether you want to deny it or not. But what are you gonna do if she gives up her Elite title?" He asked me.

"First of all, I tolerate her. And second, she wouldn't she said." I answered.

He shook his head. "Oh come on mate don't be stupid. Yeah you do like her, and she sounds like she wants to do it. Whether she has kids or not. The way you said she explained she wanted a normal life? Come on."

"Well so what? What's wrong with normal?" I asked.

Zayn raised an eyebrow and gave me a wide grin.

"Wow, you are definitely in love. Is the LOUIS TOMLINSON asking me what's so wrong with a normal life?!" He asked completely shocked with a laugh. "All the money, all your parties, your cars, your mansions!!!! Not to mention publicity! You are totally whipped!!"
