8:45 am
I lay in bed with my eyes closed debating whether or not to get up. The bed sheets I'm in don't feel like my own at home. I open my eyes while groggily sitting up. My eyes adjust to the one ray of sunlight peaking through a large curtain that faces me. I get up and pull it out to one side to get some natural light. I'm hit with the sight of busy streets and highways. Because I'm in Japan. I forgot. Which means I forgot to wake up early. I stand still waiting to hear a sound from the hallway or kitchen but nothing. My anxiety kicks in and I feel my adrenaline rush.

What if I'm late... what if they left me

I tighten my gown and rush to the kitchen. I see a giant bent over and searching through the fridge. I laugh at myself as a wave of relief washes over me.

"Morning" I jump surprised by the grumbling, loud voice and open my eyes.

"Morn-"

"What you wearing??" Larry's eyes pop out of his head.

I look down and remember my sheer gown.

I groan crossing my arms over my chest. "Sorry." I say embarrassed.

"Don't." Larry says. I frown confused. "I finally get to see you in something other than granny clothes." Larry jokes laughing and showing me the chewed food in his mouth.

"Call it granny clothes but it's my style." I roll my eyes.

"Why you up so early?" Larry says sitting at the bar table that faces me.

"I thought you'd left because it was so quiet. You just didn't get up yet." I say scooting towards the closest wall, that way if someone comes behind me they won't be able to see my behind through my revealing gown.

I don't touch a wall yet so I turn around but I'm met with a hard surface. My hands sense a smooth, hard wall. But as my eyes meet the surface I realize it's a smooth, toned chest. I look up and immediately drop my hands.  I was feeling up on Laurent's chest.

"Sorry." I mutter awkwardly trying to cover all sides of my body.

Laurent's only reply is a smirk. I glare at him and back away making sure my behind doesn't show. I scoot back to my room and pick my outfit for the day. Hopefully my outfit today doesn't remind anyone of a "granny".

10:47 am
I walk back to the living area adjusting my black and white blouse and my ripped jeans shorts. I hear small chattering but it stops once I come around the living space corner. Larry and Eleni say good morning again but Laurent still stares and also still has no shirt on.

"We don't have to go anywhere until later today but if you want you can come explore with us." Eleni says

"I'll come to take pictures. That's what you hired me for." I say sitting down on a plush couch and pulling out my phone.

"You don't really have to take pictures until tomorrow." Eleni offers going to the kitchen.

"I'll still take pictures." I say determined.

"Why?" Larry starts. "You need a reason to come with us."

"Or I just like taking pictures because i'm good at it, it's my passion, and it's my career." I suggest sarcastically, not looking up.

"Ah. Like us?" Larry asks smacking his food.

I look up from my phone with pursed lips. "Sure."

"You funny." Larry says plainly, catching my sarcasm.

I look up and smile at him. I glance at Laurent and meet his heated glaze.
