"Being here made me feel calm."

Veronica.

I woke up to the sun shining brightly in my face. I flinched from it and turned around. I opened my eyes and seen a whole different room. Then I remembered where we were.

I sighed and sat up looking at the room. I got up and looked out the window to see the trees move slightly from the wind and the sun's reflection making the water glisten.

I then walked out of the room and down the hallway. I got to the living room and started to smell breakfast. I followed the smell till I got to the kitchen and seen Shawn. All he wore was some blue and black plaid pajama bottoms.

He seen me and smiled, "Hope you're hungry."

"Starving, I didn't know you cooked." I say as I sit down on one of the bar stools.

He served the pancakes and bacon on a plate before setting it down in front of me, "I thought I already told you that you don't know much of what I can do."

He had that signature smirk on his face and I just rolled my eyes, "Okay but if you can cook why did you hire Layla?"

"I hired her because she couldn't find a job, I had the money and didn't have the time most of the time. So I helped her out." He said as he put whipped cream and chopped up strawberries and banana's on my pancakes.

I smiled, "So you do have a heart." I joked.

He rolled his eyes, "Ha ha so funny."

I smiled before grabbing the fork and taking a bite out of the pancakes. Oh my goodness, these were the best pancakes I've ever had.

"These are amazing!" I said after I finished the food that was in my mouth.

He just nodded his head like I told him something that he already knew. He sat across from me as we ate.

"It's so beautiful here." I sighed.

He looked at me and nodded, "I know, I always loved coming here."

"I can see why." I say after finishing the last bit of my food.

He grabbed my plate and then put it on his before taking them to the sink. He washed the dishes and took that opportunity to go back to my room to get changed.

I closed the door behind me and went over to my bags. I took out a white and blue stripped two piece. I decided to take a shower before putting it on. After I put it on I slid on some jean shorts and a white loose crop top.

I slipped on my sandals and grabbed my suntan lotion, glasses, towel, and phone. I then walked back out and Shawn was nowhere to be seen. He must've went back to his room.

I went out to the back and seen some layout chairs. I put my towel on it before taking off my shorts and shirt. I laid down on the chair and put my lotion on. After I was done I put on my glasses and put my earbuds in.

I closed my eyes and listened to the music as the sun kissed my skin. At least it did till I was no longer feeling the heat of the sun. I opened my eyes fearing that clouds came in and ruined my sun time.
