Narrator: After many hours on the plane Erika had made it to her destination. She went to her hotel and got settled in. It was still the afternoon so she decided to grab a bite to eat. She explored a little outside from her hotel. There were a lot of tourists and a lot of happy couples. It made her miss Jake, something about Italy just brings out the romance. After walking around she got tired and went back to her hotel. She wanted to stay in the rest of night, and watch movies. She was feeling nervous but excited for her photo shoot tomorrow. She couldn't wait and was ready to fall asleep.

Jake: Hey baby I hope you made it safe. I miss you already, I can't wait to have you with me again. Good luck with your first shoot tomorrow and keep me updated. I love you

Narrator: He sighed and went to his room to change into workout clothes. He needed to relieve some stress and what better way then to workout.

Milan, Italy

Narrator: Christian had arrived and knew exactly where Erika was. It was past midnight and he immediately went to the hotel where Erika was staying. He was able to persuade the hotel receptionist that he was her fiancé and he told her the reason he was there to surprise her. He made his way through the halls and reached her door. With a smirk on his face he knocked, Erika woke up wondering who was at her door this late. She made her way and opened and when she saw him her eyes got wide and she couldn't find the words to speak

Christian: Hey..
Erika: Um uh *breathes* hi what are you doing here?
Christian: I couldn't be away from you, I know you broke up with me but I want to show you that I can be supportive
Erika: by flying out here and scaring me in the middle of the night?!
Christian: It was very romantic in my head
Erika: Ugh I need sleep I have a photo shoot in the morning
Christian: You're pushing me away..
Erika: Just meet me here by 7. And understand we are just friends nothing more
Christian: As long as I get to be here with you that's fine because I know I'll change your mind
Erika: Ugh goodnight

Narrator: She closed the door and fell on her bed. She couldn't believe this guy, now she wouldn't be able to sleep and checked her phone. She saw a message and missed call from Jake.
She sighed she missed him and he was being so sweet. She fell back asleep and a few hours later heard her alarm go off.
She quickly showered and got ready. She was done and she heard a knock. It was Christian, and now that she was fully awake she was not amused by his little game. Her personal driver was waiting outside and they got in the car

Erika: So how long are you staying?
Christian: As long as I need to..
Erika: I wanted a break from my life, why couldn't you stay home?
Christian: Let's just say my mind is clear on what I want

Narrator: And by that he means he was going to try and beat Jake at getting Erika. This trip was going to help him win her over.

They arrived to Erika's shoot everything was closed off but it was surrounded by a cute villa. There were teenagers and children who immediately recognized Erika from the vlogs and they screamed her name. She was shocked people knew who she was. She smiled at them and waved hi. A few of them were running towards her when security grabbed her and she was immediately taken to hair and makeup. She was shooting a campaign for a new line of wedding dresses. It was a very big deal and The scenery of the shoot was beautiful. She got in the first dress and walked outside to the water fountain. It was a beautiful lace dress with a mermaid style bottom. It fit her figure very nicely almost like the dress was made for her. Christian was in awe by her beauty. As she posed the fans were snapping photos of her. The next scene was in front of a villa and she was in a beautiful long sleeve dressed with a ball style bottom. The photographer felt like he needed to make it more realistic. He wanted her to pose with a male. He searched through everyone there and he grabbed Christian. They got him in a nice suit and brought him out meet Erika. She was definitely annoyed and to her worst luck there were fans and paparazzi there. She told the guard if he could ask them to stop but it was too late.
Christian was all smiles doing as the photographer told him. He looked in her eyes, and kept reminding her how beautiful he thought she is.

After the last scene, they were nearly done but Erika had to wear lingerie. It was a white lacevbodysuit and she had to pose facing the water. Christian took this moment as an opportunity and took a photo with his phone. He smiled and began to type

iMessage

Christian: We send regards from Italy, she's beautiful isn't she and her backside is definitely amazing. Cant wait to make her mine tonight If you know what I mean

Narrator: He pressed send. And looked back up at her. She looked at him wondering why he was smiling and looked away. She was still annoyed he had the nerve to show up here.

The shoot was finally over and she was exhausted but she had an event to attend to. Press would be there and thankfully her agent would be there too. She didn't want Christian to go but she also felt bad..maybe she was being too harsh with him?

They arrived, everyone was screaming her name. Wow she truly missed modeling and was glad she wasn't just Jake's assistant anymore. She was now doing things for herself and her career. Flashing lights everywhere, she overheard a few of interviewers speak to Christian. They asked him about his relationship status and what he is to Erika. She gave him a look and made sure he knew to be careful with what he said.

Paparazzi: Wow! Christian what brings you here who knew you were into modeling!
Christian: Well I do enjoy fashion, I like to think I have good taste in my choices
Paparazzi: How do you know Erika Costell?
Christian: Um..were great friends *winks*
Paparazzi: You two would make a hot couple! Have you thought about asking her
Christian: If only you knew, were heading in that direction

Narrator: He goes to Erika and poses with her. She tries to hide her anger behind her smile. They make their way inside the venue and are seated to watch the show. Christian excuses himself to make a phone call and steps outside

Christian: Hey charlotte I need you to make sure the photos at this show get posted on all the headlines.
Charlotte: Which photos sir?
Christian: the ones with Erika and I. I want it on all the blogs
Charlotte: Right away Mr. Lombardi. Can I do anything else for you
