Avani & Anthony

47

the next morning

anthony's pov

i wake up at 6am. i'm tired but so excited. i get up, take a shower and finish packing. i put on a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt. i brush my teeth and fix up my hair. i also put on deodorant and cologne. i got to smell nice for my girl.

sadly jax can't come to catalina island with avani and i. so jaden is bring him up north. i'm sad to leave him but i know he will have fun.

i head downstairs and see almost everyone awake. at 7am dang. "what a morning." i say to jaden. he laughs at me. "where you off to?" i ask him. "northern cali." he responds. "cold." i say. he laughs and nods. i pet jax and we say our goodbyes.

i make my way to the rest of the boys' room. after i load up my car and i drive to avani's apartment. we have a 30 minute drive but it will probably be an hour due to LA traffic. our boat leaves at 9:30.

i stop by starbucks and get avani an iced coffee, i get one for myself. i pull up to avani's building. i park my car, and i walk up to her apartment. i unlock her door with my key. i have it on my key ring with my car keys.

i close the door behind me. then i walk into her bedroom. i see she is wrapped in a towel. "oh sorry." i say as i step out of her room. "shit, it's fine. i'm procrastinating getting ready." she laughs. "i mean you are pretty cute." i say. she blushes. i walk over and kiss her lips gently.

ugh. i pull away and give her a kiss on the cheek. i then leave her room so she can dressed. i sit on the couch and chill. i scroll through by phone. i see avani posted on instagram, 10 minutes ago.

she's so cute. i comment 'mine🤩' i also comment. 'bby' i repost the picture on my instagram story. i then turn off my phone and wait for avani. i'm excited for catalina.

avani finally walks out of her room. she has her backpack on her back and is wearing sweatpants and a cropped t-shirt. she smiles at me. "you're so pretty." i say. she blushes. i stand up and we get ready to leave.

we get into the car, avani is in the passenger seat and i'm driving. avani is in charge of aux and directions. she starts playing tyler. she knows me to well. i lay my hand on her thigh and start to drive down to long beach! and so our get away begins.

after about 45 mins of driving we reach the port, i put on my backpack so does avani then i lock the car. avani and i go to get our tickets for the ferry ride. we both just have backpacks.

"hi we have 2 tickets to catalina island." i say to the woman behind the counter. "names?" she asks looking at her computer. "avani gregg and anthony reeves." i respond. she nods and prints out 2 tickets for us. i pay her how ever much the total was and i say thank you and grab avani's hand and give her, her ticket. she smiles.

we then board onto the ferry. we have about an hour ride. avani and i sit in the main floor on the front of the boat. the view is nice. i wrap my arm around avani. she smiles and takes a snapchat video of us.

*skippjng ferry ride*

"we have now arrived at catalina island. enjoy your visit." the intercom announces. avani and put on our backpacks. avani and i interlock our hands and walk to exit the boat together.

we get off the boat and walk straight to the car rental place. i check in and get us our jeep. i'm so excited. avani and i show the guy behind the counter our driver's licenses then he gives me the keys and we walk over to our car for the weekend. our car is a white jeep. it's so nice.

we put our bags into the backseat. ava i climbs into the passenger seat. i'm driving. i open the sun roof and all of the windows. avani immediately figures out how to connect her phone to the car to aux.
