MEET THE PLAYER
"Uh?" I choked on a piece of bacon slice, coughing slightly after taking a huge sip of my favourite fresh orange juice.
"Paris," my mother repeated with a huge grin on her face. I wiped a sweaty hand down the side of my denim jeans.
"Can I ask whos idea this was in the first place?" I raised a brow expectantly, knowing full on whos it was.
