JAY ALVARREZ
The salty smell of the sea is what always encourages me to get out of bed. That and knowing that I get to see Alexis. I stretch my legs as get out of bed and begin to think about what I should do today.
I look over and am surprised to see Alexis still sleeping peacefully because she usually wakes up before me. I do understand why she's still asleep though. Last night was pretty hectic. All of our friends in Oahu got together last night to celebrate my 21st birthday with me. I guess she's a bit of a light weight and couldn't handle it, but I've been partying like that for years so I suppose I'm used to it by now.
I finally get out of bed and head to bathroom of our villa to take a quick shower.
As I wash the shampoo out of my hair, I hear the bathroom door shut. I peak out from behind the shower to find the source of the noise.
"Hey, baby." Alexis says with the brightest smile on her face as she begins to strip off her underwear.
"Good morning, puppy." She chuckles softly at the pet name I've been calling her for years now. "How'd you sleep?" I ask as she makes her way into the shower.
"So good. But now I have the worst headache ever." She frowns.
"Aw, I'm sorry baby. That's why you shouldn't participate in underage drinking." I playfully scold her. Her 20th birthday is in a couple of months so it's not like she's 16 taking body shots off of grown men but, it's still not legal.
"Oh whatever, Jay. You started drinking long before you turned 21." She laughs. "Pass me the shampoo?" I hand it over to her and continue washing my hair.
"So, what do you wanna do today?" I ask. I notice that she begins humming silently. That's something she does when has to think about something. That's one of the many things I love about her.
"Um, I don't know. I have to check with Marty to see if we have a free day." Marty is our manager. He arranges all of our photo shoots and handles our career. He was a good friend of Alexis' mom so we trust him with pretty much everything.
"We probably won't have any free time for the rest of the week. And we're flying out to LA in a few days so we won't get any alone time." I say with an eye roll.
"Hey, come on. It's not so bad." She says trying to cheer me up. "At least we'll be together." She comes closer towards me and pulls me in for a hug.
"I know, baby. Now stop hugging me before I make us stay in here for another 30 minutes." I laughed before kissing her on her forehead. We both get out of the shower and dry off a few minutes later.
"Do you wanna order room service? I'm craving Belgian waffles." She asks. I think of what I want and she calls the lobby to place our order. "I'm gonna call Marty and see what we have planned for today." She grabs her phone from the bed and makes the call.
Sometimes I get sick of the constant photoshoots and planned events and I know Alexis does too. We need a break from our "Instagram life" every now and then.
"So what did Marty say?" I ask when I see she's off of the phone.
"We're shooting with DKNY at 11. He said he'll text us the schedule for the rest of the week." It's currently 10:13 am and we've already showered so I suppose we'll leave at around 10:45 after we've eaten. We hear a knock at the door followed by a faint "Room service" so I grab the door and am greeted by a delicious looking platter of waffles, sausage links and all kinds of fruits along with orange juice. I thank the man and tipped him then shut the door.
"Let's dig in." Alexis says with a huge grin.
