"i trust you." i simply say to avani. she turns to look at me. i can't make eye contact with her. i'm going to break out in tears if i do. "can we work this out?" avani asks. i turn and look at her. i watch tears fall out of her eye.

i anxiously wait for a response to my question. my heart is racing. i can't breathe. "of course." anthony responds. i can breathe again. anthony grabs my hand. i look at him. "avani, why did you not tell me about payton calling you?" anthony interrogates. "because i didn't want you to worry. every time his name is brought up you get all protective and worry and it just causes us to argue more." i explain. anthony nods.

"did you see tiktok room?" i ask him. he nods. "we should go live and explain." anthony suggests. "deal, can we expose payton?" i ask jokingly. anthony chuckles then stands up in the hot tub on the sitting step in the hot tub. he opens his arms for me to hug him. i hug him. he kisses the side of my neck.

"i love you." he says. i hug him tighter. a tear runs down my cheek. anthony notices i'm crying. "i'm sorry." i say as i wipe away my tear. "hey it's okay." he says to me. then he kisses my lip gently. wow. this spark is real. he pulls away and smiles at me. "let's go live." anthony says. i nod and agree.

i set up my phone and sit in the hot tub next to anthony. i press live on instagram and start seeing the viewing numbers rise. i see a bunch of comments begin to come. a lot saying hi and asking how i am others criticizing me.

"hey guys." i say and look at anthony. he waves at the camera. "okay so i'll give it one more minute then we will talk." i say to the live. i watch the viewer numbers continue to rise. we hit 70k damn. everyone wants drama. i breath in deeply and hold anthony's hand underwater. i'm a little nervous.

"ok, let's begin." i say calmly. "okay so first, i did not cheat on anthony. i would never ever cheat on anthony. i do not know how that rumor began but it is not true." i explain. anthony looks at me. "all of my followers, please stop hating on avani." anthony comments. i smile at him. "oh by the way we are still together." anthony adds. he hugs me and kisses my cheek. he leaves his arm wrapped around my shoulders.

"next, i blocked payton. anthony didn't do it for me. i will not say why i am not longer following him but i wish him the best." i say maturely. i bet this will be on tiktok room. but i don't even care. "avani and i will not be talking about this situation anymore after this live." anthony explains. i nod in agreement.

"okay i love you guys and i hope you all are well. thank you to all of the real ones." i wave to the camera and finish the live. after anthony pulls me into a hug. i take in the moment. i turn and look him in the eyes. we both lean in at the exact same time and our lips meet.

i pull away and smile at him. "i'm sorry." anthony apologizes. my heart just melts. "no i'm sorry. i should have been honest with you." i respond. "i'm sorry for not letting you explain." anthony finishes. then we hug. "okay let's go to bed, it's getting late." anthony says interrupting our time in the hot tub. we have been out here for so long.

*skipping to next day*

we just finished eating lunch, anthony and i are going to swim with sea turtles! i'm so excited. then we are going to watch the sunset at the boardwalk, then we have dinner reservations. i'm so excited for the day. i put on a cropped maroon tank top, a pair of light blue jean shorts, and a pair of air force 1s. i put my hair in a low bun. i put on some circular sunglasses.

i walk out of the bathroom and see ant wearing a pair of swim trunks and a random basic shirt. i have my swimsuit underneath my outfit. we pack up our a bag full of clothes and then we head out to the car and drive to the turtle place!
