30 Days and Counting

Day 1

Fantasia

We got off of our 14 hour flight and are now headed to our homes. We were split into groups and given our own private villas. We were mostly separated by our modeling area. Cover models, runway models, fitness models, etc. The jet lag we all got from this flight is really messing us up.

"Alright people, listen up!" One of our trip managers stood at the front of our bus to make an announcement. This really feels like we're all in a reality TV show. "You all got your homing assignments before you got on the flight yesterday, so please stick to them. We really don't want to have to hunt you down. Major rules because I know you're all adults and hopefully you know how to act. We have given you all a book of laws in Ibiza, follow them. We don't want to have to cut our trip short because you got arrested for doing something stupid. Don't go missing, don't disrespect the people here, and for the love of God, please don't disrespect this land. Treat your villas and the beaches how you would want a guest to treat your home."

The manager concluded his speech and went around to each seat of the bus. He was handing each of us a book that included everything he talked about in it. I looked over to Colton and noticed that he was completely glued to his phone. I reached over to grab his hand, and he came out of his trance. "You alright baby?" I asked him. I brought his hand to my lips and kissed it.

I rarely ever see Colton with worried expressions. He always seems pretty calm and out there about everything. For the past few days, he's seemed scared or worried about something. When I ask him what's bothering him, he usually answers me. I can't help but think that he isn't giving to entire truth about his issues.

"My dad just sent me a message. He told me to check security in the penthouse in case somebody was trying to get in and take things." He started. His eyes looked watery. I grabbed his chin and pecked his lips to calm him.

"Did you see anything?"

"No, and that's the problem. There was supposed to be a group of workers there hours ago. Even in a different time zone, nobody was there for the entire day."

"Do you think someone bugged the penthouse?" He swallowed his fear and nodded his head. One of the tears that waited to fall was finally rolling down his face.

This isn't the first time something like this has happened. Last summer his sister was staying in his old penthouse. It got broken into when he wasn't there and nobody was there to protect her. The entire place was ransacked. The police told us that it looked like the guys were looking for something. No precious jewels were stolen, no important papers, and no items of real value. It was a very bad time for his sister to be there though. She was ultimately okay, but the trauma she has from that day never really went away.

Bad things like that shouldn't happen to good people. If the robbers were looking for something, then they must've had some type of motive. What could motivate you to ransack the home of a philanthropist like Colton Tucker.

"Maybe someone must've messed up my cameras and did something you see in movies. It could be a continued recording. And we wouldn't even be able to tell because the penthouse is empty now." I could sense his fear building up and taking over his thoughts. I cuddled into his side and rocked us.

"When we get to our villa, we can just relax. Call your people and ask them if they see anything out of the ordinary. If something is really wrong and you need to cut this trip short, I'm okay with it. I don't want you to worry anymore baby." I tried to ease his mind a little, but I may have just made it worse.

"I don't want to leave you alone."

"I wouldn't be alone Colt, I have a bunch of other people around me."
