Kyler's POV.

May 23, 2019 - 9am

The morning air was crisp and cool as I stood on my balcony, stretching out in the snug tank top I'd thrown on before heading out. The fabric clung to my shoulders and chest, showing off the years of work at the gym. A small grin tugged at my lips as I grabbed my bags, knowing today was the start of something unforgettable.

I heard the low rumble of an engine pulling into my driveway followed by some obnoxious honks, signaling their presence. As I grabbed everything I needed and headed towards my front door, throwing a sweater over my shoulder, I locked up everything and headed down towards the driveway, seeing Stass's black Range Rover. Stass and Kels leaned out the window of the car, their sunglasses glinting in the sunlight.

STASS: "Need a ride, hotshot?" Stass smirked, her gaze lingering just a bit longer than casual.

KYLER: "You're late." I quipped back, throwing my bag in the backseat and sliding in.

KELS: "Worth the wait, though, right?" Kels chimes in, her playful tone matched by a sly glance my way.

The ride to the private airstrip was charged with light banter, the kind of teasing that kept a sly grin on my face. I could feel their eyes on me, lingering whenever I adjusted my seat or stretched my arms across the backrest.

By the time we reached the plane, the rest of the group was already there, luggage being loaded as laughter filled the air. Olivia O'Brien spotted us first, her mischievous smile widening.

OLIVIA: "Took you guys long enough!" She called out before catching sight of me. "Oh, Kyler, did you wear that just to distract us?" She winked, her tone dripping with mock innocence.

KYLER: "Hilarious." I shot back, my voice laced with amusement as I walked up the steps into the plane.

Inside, the plush leather seats were already filling up, but a few spots remained. Stass, Kels, and Olivia's eyes followed me as I hesitated.

KELS: "Well?" Kels asked, crossing her arms and raising a perfectly groomed brow. "Who are you sitting next to?"
