Bryce's point of view
We stand outside as she stares in awe at the building in front of her. She turns to me and she hugs me, tightly.

I return the hug, wrapping my arms around her beautiful curves. After a while she looks back up at me, and I can still see her caramel eyes, and I am lost in them again.

Dammit!

Then, I see her lean in for a kiss. I'm thinking Maybe it could be a tease considering we only met 3 hours ago. But I wanted her, so I pulled her head so our lips could meet.

It was only a few seconds of a peck, but I loved all of those seconds. Although it was great, I wanted so much more. I wanted to taste her, and for her to taste me.

But after what she went through with Tony, I don't wanna push anything or pressure her into doing anything. The ball's in her court now and she decides on whatever she wants from me because I trust her.

I know it's crazy to only trust a girl you just met, but she gives me that feeling where I can actually be myself around her, and not fake anything.

I reach blindly for her hand and she rolls her eyes and gives my shoulder a punch as we enter to get sushi.

Addison's point of view
I can't stop thinking about kissing Bry. I mean, I didn't want to, but I also wanted to ya know? I can't let my heart break again. I must protect it.

I went through things with Tony, I don't think I am ready to have a new relationship. Say I am still not over my ex but it's true. I have to keep my distance.

But isn't it so cute that he was giving me my space because of my past? Aw ! He's amazing.

We order our food as we begin to talk. "So Bry huh?" he says, giving me a weird look like Really why would you pick that for me?

"Yes! And it fits you so well" I say, making him smile. " if I get a nickname so do you" he says, staring at me intently. I remember on the plane he called me Addi.

It was so adorable and I hope that's my new nickname. He stares at me for a few more seconds, thinking really hard.

"Addi! Your nickname is Addi" he says doing a little happy dance. I smile, mostly because that's the cutest thing I have ever seen him do.

We get our food, and we stuff it down our throats. Bry pays for the meal as we hike up to the Hollywood sign and we make TikToks up there.

I post mine with this caption : look at this dude @brycehall. I already see ship comments as I comment we just friends.

I get another notification that's a comment. It's Bryce, it says @addisonrae facts sadly tho :(. I look over at Bryce to see a smile on his face. I roll my eyes as we take one last look at the sunset.

Then we went back to his car and he started the engine. "So since you don't have a place to stay" he begins, his idea voice clicking.

"I was thinking you could sleep at Sway. You can sleep in your own room or you could come to mine and you would make TikToks and we would do whatever and just chill. So what do you say? Move in today?" he asks me, awaiting my answer.

I mean it is a pretty good idea considering I don't have a place to stay and I get to meet new people AND spend more time with Bry. I turn to him and smile.

" yes I will move into sway." I say smiling wide. "But just so you know I am sleeping in your room!" He gets all excited, and does his little happy dance again. I love it when he does that dance. Makes him even more attractive.

I then randomly begin to shiver, a little bit cold from the nighttime skies in la I guess. Bry notices this and quickly removes his hoodie and gives it to me.

"Here. to keep you from getting cold" he says, holding it out. I take it and I put it on feeling much warmer. I turn around and I see Bry smile.

"You look better in it than I do" he says as he stars to drive to what will soon be my new home.
