      Braylon POV

         Being able to spend the whole summer with my sister is the best. Ever since she left for college it was only my mom and me at home. I felt bad for leaving my mom by herself the whole summer but it's not like everyday I get an opportunity to go to California!

       "Please put on your seat belts, the plane will be landing soon. " The flight attendant announced through the intercom.

Sitting back into my chair I followed the orders the flight attendant gave. It's been a long flight, having some sweaty old man next to me was not a fun situation. Looking out the window I saw the ground get closer and closer, then the plane stopped. 

"Thank you for flying with us, hope you enjoyed your flight. " Said the same flight attendant. I smile & got up to grab my bags . Walking out, I looked around for my sister, instead of seeing my sister I saw a man holding a sign with my name on it.

       " Hi, um I'm Braylon Woods. " I said pointing to the sign he was holding.

       " Oh yes, Hello Ms. Woods, Mrs. Johnson asked me to drive you back to her house," the man referred to my sister, while grabbing my bags, "since she was stuck at work." He said walking towards the black SUV. I sighed, she was too busy to pick me up at the airport, guess this summer we won't be having sister bonding time.

      " Thank you," I smiled at the driver man " I never got your name." I stated climbing into the car, turning my phone off from airplane mode.

      " My names Gary, " he smiled pulling out of the parking lot. I looked down at my phone, and saw that I had some texts from mom and Ashley. I read my moms first,  "Text me when you land love you!"

        Next I read Ashley's, " I'm soooo sorry I couldn't pick you up! Jordan's already at the house, so if I'm not there in time he'll get you settled in, love you can't wait to see you xoxo" I sent a quick reply to my mom saying I landed already and one to Ashley with a simple okay.

       " Hey Gary do you like Justin Bieber ? " I randomly questioned. The whole car ride I got to know Gary, he actually has two older children, four grandchildren, three dogs, and a wife he's been married to for thirty eight years. About 7 Bieber songs later, we pulled up to this mansion like house.

"Woah," I breathed out " Is this Ashley's house!?" I got excited jumping out car.

      " Yes, beautiful house isn't it ? " Gary asked. I nodded grabbing my bags."Oh no, let me get those Ms. Woods! " he said reaching for my bags. But I rejected his offer.

      " I got the them, and call me Braylon !" I told him walking up the steps to the house, "Bye Gary!" I yelled and he waved driving the car to who knows where.

    I faced the door and opening it was Jordan. I attacked him in a hug. " Hey Jordan." I squealed.

      " Hey B! " He grinned, calling me by the nickname Ashley gave me when we were younger. " I ordered some pizza, it's on the table."  He stepped inside letting me come in and closed the door.

I gasped looking around the house, it's beautiful. My eyes widened when I saw the pizza, and basically ran to take a bite."When your done eating, come find me I'll be in that room," Jordan pointed towards a door, "then I'll show you your room." he said. I gave him a thumbs up with a mouth full of pizza. He chuckled and walked to the room.

         I looked at my phone, it was five in the afternoon which meant it was like eight or nine where I lived . So I decided to call my mom before it got any later.
Ring

" Hello?" I heard my mom's familiar voice through the phone.

" Hi mom!"

" B , how's it like in California!"

" It's really hot to be completely honest." I chuckled

" Well I mean you're in California for summer , of course it's hot. " I laughed at her sarcastic comment. For about another 10 minutes we talked about how my flight was, and how the man next to me smelt like he hadn't showered in days.

  "Goodnight love you B." she sighed.

  "Goodnight mom love you too." I said softly ending the call and deciding to go get Jordan.

"Ready to show me my new room?" I happily asked.

  He got up from his chair, "Follow me B " he grabbed my bags walking up the set of stairs. I followed right behind him. "Here we are. " He said opening the door to the room that was at the end of the hall. I look inside, it was absolutely perfect ! A queen bed, huge flat screen tv, a bathroom, and a huge closet . "You like ?" Jordan questioned.

    "Like ?Psh more like love !" I yelled. He laughed, patting my head.

  " Oh yeah I forgot to mention Ashley got held back even more at work she won't be home til around 9" Jordan explained.

I nodded.

" Well I'm gonna sleep, I was up all night excited to finally be here! "

"If you need anything please ask, mi casa es tu casa."  Jordan said before closing the door. I shook my head at his cheesiness smiling to myself, this might be a summer I'll never forget I thought before falling fast asleep in my new bed.
