I woke up, my room filled with light. I slowly sat up and stepped out of bed. I peered out the window towards the ocean. I could hear its faint noise of waves crashing. Griffin pokes his head through the door.

"Hey, get ready. We're going down for breakfast," he said, leaving real quick. I sighed, walking to my suitcase. I unzipped it and flipped the top open, revealing all my clothes. I shifted through them and finally picked something out.

Once I finished brushing my teeth, makeup, and hair, I slipped on my FILAs and grabbed my little white bag. I walked out into the living room and everyone stood up from the couch. I walked to the front door and opened it, everyone following behind me.

We walked down the hall to the elevator and my mom pressed the button. The doors opened and a few people exited. We all walked in and the door shut. My parents began talking about business before the door opened. We waited in the center of the lobby which held a large, grand seating area. I stayed standing as my brother and mom sat down. They began talking so I just went on my phone.

"Boo," I hear from behind, hands lightly touching my shoulders. I turn fast to see a familiar face.

"PAYTON!!" I yell, the last part muffled because I pushed my head into his chest. I squeezed his waist while he wrapped his arms around me. What was he doing here?

I released him, staring at him confused.

"What are you doing in Florida?" I said, laughing slightly.

He smiled, pointing back. "My sister's modeling for some magazine here," he said. I looked back at the girl. There was no fucking way.... My breath became heavy as my eyes widened.

"Daisy's your sister?" I asked, nervous. He nodded.

"Yeah, you know her?" He asked, sounding a little surprised. I swallowed hard.

"Uhm, Yeah. We're modeling together..." I said, pushing my hair behind my ears. Then, his eyes became wide.

"You model?" He said, slightly smiling. I nodded, "so I'll be seeing a lot more of you here!" he began, "in hot outfits..." he mumbled. I smacked his shoulder and we both laughed. Just then, Daisy approaches us, placing an arm on Payton's shoulder and causing me to step back. She fake smiled at me.

"Hey Payton!! I see you've met one of the other models, uhm.... May? June? Jul-" she began.

"April," I cut her off, fake smiling at her back. She rolled her eyes and walked away, "she doesn't like me..." I said quietly, laughing a little.

"Nah, she just needs to get used to you," He said, wrapping his arm around my shoulders, "but we should hang out today... you know, go eat, take a walk, watch the sunset..." he began, trying to convince me. I removed his arm and turned to face him, grabbing both his hands.

"Nice try," I smiled. I began walking back, but Payton grabbed my wrist and pulled me close.

"But I wanna be with you..." he whined, his voice muffled in my shoulder. I laughed, lifting up his head. He puffed out his bottom lip at me.
