LaToya's P.O.V

I yawned and rubbed my eyes, the moment I woke up. I looked at the large 3ft flat screen in front of me and thought; 'This isn't my house...'.

I sat up straight and remembered that I was in Aaron's mansion. I looked at the large gray modern art painting and realized that I had fallen asleep in Aaron's room. I heard him whistling and walking out of the shower and quickly and quietly rested my head back on the pillow and closed my eyes, feigning being asleep. He kept whistling and I opened one of my eyes, peeking at him wearing only a skimpy towel around his waist.

His V-Line... oh... and those abs! He looked like a model. Look at those sexy muscles!Watching him dress up reminded me of our first incident back at his parents' house... It was super embarrassing.

After he was all dressed, I yawned and sat up. "Morning, sleepyhead." He chuckled, running a hand through his wet hair.

"Morning, Ron." I threw off the comforter and stood up from the bed, making my way to my room, one room away from his.

In less than thirty minutes, I was done freshening up. I hurried downstairs to see Aaron on the couch watching something on Netflix. "Finally. You've been in the shower for thirty minutes!" He rolled his eyes.

"Just thirty minutes..." I plopped on the couch beside him.

"Just?" He raised an eyebrow and I nodded. He chuckled and shook his head. "Breakfast?" He asked, going to the dining table.

"Sure. What're we having?" I asked, but my question was already being answered. Set on the dining table were two plates of bacon and eggs, with a few loaves of bread and croissants, then cartons of skimmed milk, orange juice and flavoured yoghurt with four glasses beside them and different packs and cartons containing ingredients for a sundae. It was the best-looking breakfast I'd ever seen!

I looked at Aaron who had crossed his arms proudly, leaning against the large cupboard. "Don't tell me Harper and Julie did all of this." I said, as he pulled out a seat for me and I sat on it.

"No, I did." He sat on his seat and bit into a croissant.

"You're lying." I took a bite out of the heavenly croissant, savoring the amazing, unique, sweet taste and he was still staring at me. "You mean you did all of this?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yeah. I'm basically a pro chef." He said cockily. We were both teasing each other when Shareece ran up to us and licked my face silly the moment I picked her furry self up. Both Aaron and I laughed heartily. Shareece was so cute. I put her on the ground and she ran excitedly around the dining table.

After breakfast, we were in the living room binge-watching new episodes of La Doña, while eating icecream sundaes.

"You little---" I clenched my teeth and yelled, getting up from the lounge chair and chasing Aaron. "Give me back my magazine!" I yelled.

"No. Not until you show me what you've learned in swimming!" He laughed, still running with my magazine. The latest issue of Vogue.

Before I could reply, he tossed my magazine into the turquoise pool and I gasped. "I'm gonna kill you!" I yelled, chasing him again. We ran in circles twice, before he jumped into the water. Before my mind could oppose, I jumped in right after him. I searched for him, but he wasn't anywhere in sight. I was confused, until two muscular arms grabbed my waist and turned my body towards them.

"You ruined my magazine!" I yelled at him, but he said nothing. He only pulled me closer to him and soon, we were so close that one wrong move, and we would be kissing.

"Truth or dare?" He asked, swimming to the end of the pool and I followed behind. He lifted me up bridal style and placed me on the concrete floor outside the pool. I slowly kicked my wrinkling feet in the pool. He pulled himself up and got up on the concrete too. He reached for his phone on one of the lounge chairs and opened a Truth or Dare app.

We were there, at the poolside for over an hour. The whole game reminded me of my days in highschool. I missed highschool a lot. Sadly, I only had two years of highschool, because of my scholarship to The New York Fashion Institute.

I was reminiscing the old times, when one particular dare caught my attention.
"The app says; 'I dare you to skinny dip with anyone in the group'." Aaron smirked mischievously.

"No! Forfeit that one!" I shook my head frantically as Aaron twisted his lips and shook his head.

"Don't be so boring! Don't tell me you've never skinny dipped?" He said.

"I haven't!" I shot back.

"Then, here's your chance! Come on, Tee. Don't be a buzzkill! Loosen up! Be more free!" Be urged me to take on the dare, but I still shook my head at him. "Quit being such a chicken!" He teased. Darn him! He knew all my weak spots. Being called chicken was one of them!

"Fine! We're skinny dipping then!" I stood up and crossed my arms, giving him a warning look that he definitely knew the meaning of.

"Okay. I'll turn away." He faced the other direction as I took of my bikini-top and covered my exposed breasts with my hand. I carefully got into the water and tapped Aaron with my free hand.

"Can I put it back on now?" I asked and he pulled my waist toward himself.

"Aren't you a little shy?" He teased, laughing.

"Oh, shut up." I replied and we both roared with laughter. Our laughter simultaneously stopped as he held my eyes.

Those green eyes were enough to make a girl's heart melt.

"You look like you need a vacation, Tee." He said.

"Vacation?" I was confused.

"Yeah. Does Africa sound nice?" He asked.

"I've always wanted to go to Africa." I sighed, smiling.

"Really? Well, now's your chance. I'm going to Kenya for two weeks and I might even take a detour to South Africa. Would you like to come?" He asked, a hopeful look on his face.

"Sure! That sounds incredible!" I instantly agreed. "But, what about the office? Who's gonna take care of my job?" I wondered.

"I'm sure Jean and Peter can take care of all of that." He answered.

"Then, I'm going to Kenya!" I lifted my free hand and splashed water on him.

Hello, Nairobi.
