Chapter 17

As the sun rose above the sky, young girl has been woken up from a dreamless sleep. The laud knock travelled to her eyes, causing them to squeeze shut. She stood up slowly, still half asleep, opening the door to whoever decided to destroy her relaxation time.

"Hey Belle, how are you doing?" Amanda asked, smiling widely. She quickly hopped into her room, being way too energetic for a 7 AM Monday morning. Annabelle just looked at her in confusion, needing more time for her brain to function properly. "It's our last full day alone, we need to do something cool!" Her friend said, as they both sat on the bed. Annabelle moved her head sideways, trying to understand the situation as she was 100% sure she has about 3 days left. "Oh Belle! Last day without Blake!" her friend shouted, mistaking her boss's name again. Annabelle just moaned at the stupid reason her friend decided to wake her up, especially that early.

"Did you really just wake me up in the middle of the night to tell me that?" she said, throwing herself onto the bed again. "We'll be able to meet even if Blair will come back"

"I'm not talking about you, silly" Amanda replied, getting a dirty look from her friend. "Dee told me about the girlfriend rule so I know I won't be able to like... hmm..." - "Jump on him whenever you can? Stick your tongue up his throat?" Annabelle cut Amanda's speech cheekily. "ACT AS COMFORTABLE AS I DID BEFORE" the blond haired girl finished, ignoring her friend. 'And I did not kiss him, you idiot!" She said. "yet" she whispered quietly.

"Wait, Dee?" Annabelle said suddenly, not hearing her last words. "You made nicknames for each other?" She asked, waiting for gossips.

"Yeah, I'm Amy and he's Dee. It was hard to make one for him as Andrew doesn't go well with lots things" she said, smiling peacefully. Annabelle couldn't believe how in love her friend acted. She knew him for about 24 hours, not counting little talks on FaceTime when Belle called her and he happened to be around. Now, as Annabelle thought about it, she realised how long boys, especially Andy, could talk with Amanda when she went to get food or make tea.

She suddenly stood up, shocked, as a thought came into her mind. "YOU TALKED WITH HIM BEFORE" She stated, not even bothered to ask. It was unbelievable how stupid she was not to realise, how comfortable they acted around each other and it definitely couldn't happen over couple of hours. Amanda just smiled widely, explaining the situation.

"You know, I'm not surprised people call you the smartest of all" she laughed. "We were FaceTiming each other nearly everyday for about 2 weeks before you all came here." She said as her face lightened with pleasure. Annabelle just smacked her face with her hand, now remembering all weird situations where Andy was disappearing, that she didn't put too much attention to.

"Tell me" she said simply and both girls sat down, gossiping about everything for the next couple of hours.
•••••
As the clock showed 11AM both girls were sitting on the bed, organising last bits of the evening. Amanda decided to plan all day, considering the fact it'll be last day without anyone watching them. Even though, Annabelle found this idea stupid at the beginning, she couldn't let her friend down after all the cute moments with Andy, she told her about. Therefore, she lively participated to help her with the organisation and after 2 hours and couple of phone calls everything was planned. Girls decided that the best idea was to let Amanda be their guide and visit some cool aspects of Los Angeles. They planned to start with a little walk on a Sunset Boulevard - a palm-line street with an amazing view to then, head to Venice Beach and chill by the sea. Next, they would get food in a well known Pink's Hot Dog and walk to Hollywood sign to take pictures and sit in the park. Their last spot would be CityWalk Hollywood as it's the most lively at night*. Everything seemed so exciting and Annabelle couldn't wait to start the day. They quickly run outside, to knock on boys's rooms and tell them about their idea. They haven't revealed any specifics, just the fact they'll spend whole day together because everything was meant to be a surprise.
••••••
After 1 hour, everyone was ready so they started their journey. Sunset Boulevard was beautiful, so much nicer that Annabelle expected and even though boys moaned about long time walking, she knew they all had a lovely time. Amanda was amazing in her job, mentioning trivia about certain places as she was known as a history addict. Andy was always next to her, keeping her entertained so when Annabelle saw that, she slowed down with the boys to let them have some time alone.

"They're so cute, it's unbelievable it happened in one day" Mikey said, looking at the pair in front of them.

"Ill tell you something, but keep your mouths shut" Annabelle replied, telling them in shortcut what Amanda told her this morning. She didn't want to reveal all the information as it would be unfair on her friend, but she wanted boys to know they speak for a longer time. Boys were surprised, as even though they have seen Andy being a bit weird in the past couple of week, they would never connect it to a girl. However, now as they saw the oldest member flirting with their new friend, they were grateful, things happened that way.

As everyone got closer to the beach, the sun started to really rise its rays. The weather was really hot, but a little windy, almost amazing for a long walks around the city. The screams of young children woken Amy and Dee from their little world so they decided to come back to their friends. They all spend couple of hours chilling and having fun, to then get hot dogs in the best fast food shop in LA. As the clock showed 4 PM, they decided to head to the park, to see Hollywood sign and take photos. The sky was getting clearer as all the clouds were slowly disappearing, making an amazing atmosphere for a photoshoot.

"I'm the one taking photos" Amanda shouted, thinking it would be the most reasonable as she's not part of AphaDogFamily.

"No way, I need pictures with you" Andy disagreed, taking the camera out of her hand. Annabelle just let out a little 'awhh' and looked at Rye, who was standing next to her, non verbally showing how cute this situation was. She came to them, taking the camera and changing into a professional photographer. As much as posed photos looked amazing, the ones she caught when they were off guard, laughing, were the most adorable.

"Okay, okay... Now, it's my turn" Amanda said, as she got hundreds of photos with everyone. She casually started with the boys individually, to then take photos in pairs and in groups. Annabelle and Rye moved a little further away and were just watching the view as it was other boys's time to shine. They both, stood up near the edge of the hill, pointing at things and looking at each other, while talking about something passionately. They were so concentrated on their conversation, they didn't realise Amanda, seeing how adorable they both looked, was secretly photo shooting them from time to time. Suddenly as Annabelle seemed to wanting to walk away, smiling, Rye put his arms around her waist and picked her off the ground, causing her body to sideways rest on his shoulders. She bursted into laughter, lifting her legs out at different angles, making the photos even more beautiful. Brooklyn who was meant to be the model at that time, wasn't even mad as the view of his friends slowly getting feelings for each other, made it all up.

Amanda came back to real world and started photo shooting Brooklyn again, shouting at Annabelle to come and pose with him, acting almost as if situation from seconds ago didn't take place. Annabelle and Rye came after a minute, not realising they were the main models before, laughing at other boys for spending so much time in taking photos. Boys ignored those jokes, smiling a little, not being able to wait for them two to see the sneaky photoshoot.

They continued to take pictures and when everyone was happy, they chilled on the grass to then, walk to their last spot - CityWalk Holywood.

*I am aware that those places are probably miles away from each other, but let's just pretend they are not ;)
