The sun streamed in through Taylor's bedroom window, casting a warm, golden glow over the room. She stretched lazily in bed, enjoying the quiet morning. The events of the previous day replayed in her mind, filling her with a mix of excitement and nervousness. As she reached for her phone, she noticed a few notifications lighting up the screen.

Abigail: "Hey, we're coming over soon. Can't wait to hear all about your mysterious message! 🕵️‍♀️"

Selena: "Same! We're bringing brunch and want all the details. 😁"

Taylor smiled at their enthusiasm but felt a flutter of nerves in her chest. She knew her friends would be eager to hear everything about her evening with Travis, and she was still grappling with how much to share. But before she could dwell on it, another message caught her eye, one from Travis.

Travyy❤️: "Good morning, beautiful girl. I woke up thinking about you, and I couldn't help but smile. Hope you slept well❤️"

Her heart fluttered at his words, and a soft smile spread across her face as she quickly typed a response.

Tayprincess : "Good morning! I slept really well, thanks to you. Selena and Abigail are coming over soon, and my parents are coming home today. I can't wait to see you again too❤️"

She hit send and then let out a deep breath, feeling a mix of warmth and anxiety. As much as she cherished the memories of the previous day, the reality of having to navigate her friends' questions and her parents' scrutiny was sinking in.

Taylor got up and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. The warm water helped ease the tension in her muscles, but her mind kept drifting back to Travis and the intensity of their time together. She found herself smiling as she thought about his words, feeling the warmth of his affection even from a distance.

When she stepped out of the shower, Taylor noticed the faint hickey on her neck and her lips. She winced slightly, knowing it would be hard to hide, but there was something thrilling about the reminder of their connection. She dressed in a casual outfit, opting for a high-necked top in a futile attempt to make the mark less noticeable. As she finished getting ready, her phone buzzed with another message from Travis.

Travyy❤️: "Sounds like you've got a busy day ahead. I'll be thinking about you all day. Take care of yourself, okay? And let me know how it goes with your friends and parents. I'm here if you need me."

Tayprincess : "Thank you, Travis. I will. And I'll definitely keep you posted. 😘"

She put her phone down and took a deep breath, preparing herself for the day. Before long, the doorbell rang, and Taylor's heart skipped a beat as she hurried downstairs to greet her friends.

"Hey, guys!" Taylor greeted Abigail and Selena with a warm hug as she opened the door. The two girls were all smiles, carrying a tray of brunch items that filled the air with the scent of fresh pastries and fruit.

"Hey, Taylor!" Abigail said, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. "We can't wait to hear all about your mysterious message."

Selena grinned as she followed them inside. "Yeah, spill the tea! We brought the brunch, so you better bring the details."

Taylor laughed nervously, trying to hide the butterflies in her stomach. "I'll tell you everything, I promise."

As they settled into the living room, the three friends chatted animatedly about their beach day. The lively atmosphere was a welcome distraction, but Taylor knew it wouldn't be long before the conversation turned to her.
