It's been a week since the night when Justin and I talked. It's ONLY been a week but for me it felt like forever.

"Please wait for me..." those four words have been repeating in my head constantly.

Today, the project which Reysel and I worked together on is finally done. The hotel looks absolutely amazing, even more amazing than before. There's going to be a big party to celebrate the success of the project.

"We finally finished" I told Reysel. She smiled and nodded. She was looking at the hotel with this dreamy look in her eyes. I can really see how happy she is.

"We should have a little celebration for your success" Anna suggested.

"I agree and it can also be a sort of farewell party for me and Reysel since we're both leaving tomorrow" Rodcen spoke.

"What should we do then?" I asked.

"Let's go joyriding!" Reysel suddenly shouted.

Half an hour later, here I am standing infront of Austin's stall with my three crazy friends giggling behind me. They forced me into doing this... they want me to invite Austin to go with us and drive the car!

Austin was wiping the counter. I knocked on one of the little wood foundations of the stall. He looked up and smiled.

"Oh hey... uh girlfriend, what are you doing here?" 

"Um hi Austin... my um boyfriend. Do you see those three idiots behind me?"

"Uh yeah... why?"

"They want to invite actually they just want to invite you to join us in our joyriding trip so you could be our driver" I said very fast.

"Joyriding? Sounds fun! Of course I'll join you and the idiots, I mean your friends..."

"What about your stall?"

"I've kinda wanted to have a day off and I've been looking for the perfect time and this seems like the right time" he said with a smile.

I couldn't help but smile back. I don't think I noticed it before but Austin looks a little bit familiar... where have I seen him before? Nah I should just forget about that.

"So let's go then?"

"Let me grab my things first" he said and dissapeared into the makeshift kitchen.

"So did he agree?" Anna asked.

"Yes"

"YAY!" the three of them cheered.

"We can use my car" Austin suddenly said. He jingled the keys in his hand.

"Is it nice?" Rodcen asked shamelessly.

"They're pretty simple" Austin replied. He motioned for us to follow him.

He led us into a nearby modern beach house. It was two-storeys high and all white. Wait, does he own this place?

He opened the garage and inside there were two cars. A black hummer and a red convertible porsche. Let me repeat, A HUMMER AND A PORSCHE. How can a twenty-year-old guy, who sells beer and juices infront of the beach, afford to own a Hummer and a Porsche?!

"Um Austin... are you sure these are yours?" I asked him.

"Yeah, so which one would you like to ride?"

Anna, Rodcen and Reysel were practically drooling as they stared at the cars. Crazy.

"Porsche" I said.

"Okay get inside"

 He opened the door for me and I thanked him. I instantly put my seatbelt on when I got inside. This car looks FAST. I hope Austin drives safely and slowly.

"Everyone settled?" he asked.

"YES! Vroom vroom let's go!" the three, who were sitting in the backseat, said in unison.

Austin started the car and drove into the highway. Surprisingly, he isn't driving at 100kph, he's actually driving at 40 which is kinda slow.

Austin drove around Nassau and we stopped whenever we saw something interesting. I actually expected it be awkward between me and Austin but suprisingly we really bonded and became quite close.

We were at the Versailles Gardens when Austin approached me and wanted to talk to me seriously.

"This place is beautiful" I said, admiring the surroundings, trying to avoid his gaze.

"Nicolle do you know who I am?" he asked.

"Your Austin"

"Come on be serious... don't you wonder how I managed to own luxury cars and a beachfront property with only a stall as a source of income?"

"You won the lottery?"

"I'm Austin Hilton"

"Hilton? Your the son of my... MY BOSS?"
