"Congratulations, sis!" Chloe squealed as she hugged me tight. "You finally graduated, you smart little ass!"

"Thanks, Chlo," I smiled.

The graduation ceremony had just ended and I'm currently still in shock. I am an official Yale graduate with honors. I still can't believe it. Despite my leading career choice of modeling, it has still has been a lifelong dream of mine to graduate my university as valedictorian, and I finally did it.

"Come on, let's get more pictures!" my mom exclaimed, clapping her hands excitedly. I groaned in frustration, feeling as if my cheeks would crack if I were to smile one more time for my mom's camera.

Dad laughed. "Aw, come on now, don't be a sourpuss."

I huffed, deciding not to fight against it anymore and just smiled for the sake of another picture. The three people in front of me were grinning ear to ear as I was caught by surprise; not by the flash of the camera, oh no, but by the two large hands which covered my eyes.

I immediately pulled the hands down and faced the culprit, clasping my mouth with my hand. "Colby!" I gasped, rushing into his arms and hugging him. Once we pulled away, I stared at him in shock. "Why are you here? I mean, I'm glad you're here, don't get me wrong, but why?"

"Well, princess," he chuckled. "I'm here to surprise you. I wanted to say congratulations in person. So I contacted Chloe and she basically helped me on from there."

"I really can't believe you're here," I mumbled, causing him to chuckle again as he wrapped his arms around me once more, kissing my forehead in the process. "Wait, does that mean you've met my parents?"

"Uh, yeah. Your dad can be pretty intimidating, by the way..."

"I know," I giggled. "But thank you for coming, Colby, really."

"You know I'd do anything for you, princess. Now come on, I've got something special planned."

"You're really full of surprises today, aren't you?" I said as I arched an eyebrow.

He smirked. "I'm Seth fucking Rollins, baby. Of course I am."
