"Treat me like a queen, and I'll treat you like a king. Treat me like a game, and I'll show you how it's played."

LaToya's P.O.V

"I have a surprise for you!" Aaron smiled dreamily as placed a blue diary on my desk.

"What's this?" I asked.

"This contains the plans for Tori's birthday party in two days." He folded his arms proudly.

"Seriously?" I asked, flipping excitedly through the pages of the diary. Aaron was planning a beach party at a private beach resort in Miami! I looked up at him, to see if he was serious. "For real?" I asked.

"Completely real. Tori is like a little sister to me, so she deserves a big celebration for her 15th birthday." He said.

I got up from my seat and gave him the biggest hug ever. He caressed my back and we just stood there for a minute, before I took the cue to let go. "Tori is gonna freak when she gets surprised on Friday. This must cost you a fortune, Aaron. I can't thank you enough." I smiled.

"Don't mention it, Tee." He smiled, rubbing his forearm like a shy teenage boy.

"Don't  just sit around, Ron! Let's get dialing and inviting people!" I said, breaking the awkward silence.

"I have a really exciting surprise for you, Tori!" I told my sister, and winked at my mom. My mom, sister and I were having some 'quality girl time' and binge-watching new episodes of La Doña.

"Really? What is it?" She asked, excited.

"Just get packing. And take along a cute swimsuit and beach clothes." I told her.

"Why?" She asked.

"Trust me, will you?" I was getting frustrated.

"Okay, sure." She said. "But, give me a hint."

"It has to do with a photoshoot." I lied.

"Cool." She clapped. "I love taking photos. Birthday photos, to be precise."

"You'd better get packing. The photo studio is quite far from here." I said.

"I'm so excited, I'm gonna get packing right now." She said, hurrying up the stairs to her room and my mom gave a knowing smile and shook her head.

The next morning, Aaron called me at 6am.
"Goodmorning, sleepyhead." He greeted. "Rise and shine. We've got a cool Miami beach day ahead and I have a special surprise for you." He continued.

"What surprise?" I asked.

"Don't worry. You'll see." He said. "I wanted to tell you that Peter and Jean offered to pick all the guests up in my twin Benz trucks. Aryanne and Orlando are driving to the private airport themselves, my driver'll be picking Tori, Kelli, Jynelle and your mom up while I'll pick you up. Tell everyone to be ready by 8." He explained.

"Yeah, sure. No problem." I said.

"Oh, and your surprise will be waiting in the car for you. You'll be stunned." He said in his deep, sensual voice, which made my heart tingle.
