"Where is Blake?" I asked looking between mom and dad as the three of us had a quiet breakfast at the outside table in front of the huge pool.
After the walk with our parents yesterday, Blake just disappeared. He didn't say a word where he's going or with who, he just left the house without saying a word.
"He said he'll go to the nearest gym and straight to the beach after that," dad said professionally, keeping his eyes on his phone like always.
Probably having an important conversation about his damn job. One of the many things I hate about it.
Being one of the most famous and well-paid lawyers in Los Angeles is no joke. He has a reputation to keep. I don't even know how he decided to take a time off for 3 months. He barely spends time with us back at home. It's usually me, my brother and mom.
I really need my dad sometimes but with time passing by I got used to his absence.
"But we have a gym here at the mansion?" I added, narrowing my eyes in confusion. "Why going somewhere else?"
Didn't my brother notice the huge-ass room as big as a fucking basketball court on the first floor?
"I guess he wants to make new friends while we're here," he shrugged, pouring more coffee and I nodded, putting half boiled egg in my mouth.
Well, at least he is trying to fit in here.
"Well, I'm going to do my workout too and I'm thinking of going to the beach," I said, sipping from the water and dad nodded without even listening to me like always. Ugh, I hate this.
"Okay, darling. Have fun." Mom put a smile on her face before turning her attention to dad.
I was quick to leave the table before heading to my room to put on a pair of leggings and a sports bra for training.
A good workout is all I need right now.
It may sound weird but I love to work out and it's in my daily routine and I'm not just talking about cardio. I like to train with weights and I don't care if boys would say that it makes a woman more masculine.
I like my well shaped belly, my big thighs and my big ass too much to care about the opinion of some dumb boys.
I tied my hair in a ponytail, grabbing a large bottle of water before heading to the gym, preparing to do the best ass workout, just o rid off of my anger.

The sun was burning my skin as I was reading my book, enjoying the sound of the crashing waves.
Such a therapy.
There's one thing I can admit about Hawaii. The place is truly magical and calms you as soon as you step your feet at the beach. The soreness I felt after my workout disappeared as soon as I put my towel on the sand and relaxed my body under the sun.
I smiled like an idiot as I flipped page after page.
I love reading about romance, love, sex. Mostly sex.
I want to feel love, I want to be loved.
Love so strong, so big, so real that will take your breath away. I want to meet this person that will turn my life upside down, that will make my body burn from desires, from madness to have him close to me. I want love so crazy and rare that I'll be able to remember when I'm old and weak, knowing that this love is the only thing that keeps me alive.
But let's be realistic, I know I won't experience it anytime soon.
Since I couldn't fall in love even in my teenage years, I don't have hope for this to happen now and to be completely honest I don't even find most of the boys attractive. They're so gross, so ugly from inside that the most I want to do with them is fucking beat the shit out of them.
But my thoughts were interrupted by something hard-hitting me on my leg, moving my attention from the book in my hands.
I narrowed my eyes as soon as I saw a white ball next to my leg and it took me a few seconds to realize what's happening.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," a girl's voice screamed as she approached me but it took me a few seconds to actually see her because of the sun but wow.
In front of me is standing a beautiful girl with long brown curly hair and big green eyes staring back at me anxiously.
"No problem," I said lightly, holding the ball in my hands to give it to her.
"No, I'm really sorry for interrupting you. You seemed really into this book," she spoke back nodding at the book, squatting next to me and I nodded.
"As I said it's no problem," I replied with a slight laugh and her face relaxed as soon as she saw me laughing.
"Oh thank god, I was so worried," she replied. laughing. "I'm Kayla by the way," she smiled, making her dimples visible. She's really beautiful.
"Grace," I replied shortly with a slight smile on my face, still staring at her.
"Grace," she repeated my name slowly, studying ma face. "I haven't seen you around Grace. Are you new here?"
I hurried to shake my head, "Just here for the summer."
She nodded slowly, her lips partly open as she studied every single detail on my face. I blushed, looking down just to avoid her eyes. I hate when someone stares at me for a long time, I'm too fucking insecure for that shit.
"That's cool. Is this your first time in Hawaii?" She asked again with a big smile. I noticed that she has as habit of smiling but I get it. She has a beautiful smile.
"Yes and I hope it will be my last," I sighed with a slight laugh, closing my book.
She raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Why? Don't you like it here?"
"I guess I like Los Angeles more," I shrugged, putting my book in my little bag and she nodded.
"It must be nice to be from Los Angeles. I hope one day I can afford to go there," she spoke with dreamy eyes and I smiled staying silent.
"But if you want, you can come with me to meet my friends and we'll prove to you that Hawaii is not as bad as you think it is," she suggested with a grin on her face and I bit my lips thinking.
Whether to continue reading my book and enjoy my alone time or to try to find friends to make my staying here a little less boring?
Scarlett's words suddenly popped into my mind.
Maybe she's right, I need to give Hawaii a chance. I'll be here for 3 months after all and it will be better for me to have someone to spend them with.
I nodded a little unsure, agreeing with her and the grin on her face became bigger.
"Great," she screamed happily, clapping her hands before getting up. "Come on, let me introduce you to my friends." She hurried to pull me by my hand, I barely managed to get my bag and towel before we headed to a group of 5 people. 3 girls and 2 boys.
They're all staring at me and it's so fucking awkward.
I want to die right now, please.
Most people like when the attention is on them, but that's not me.
"Guys, that's Grace. She's here for the summer." Kayla introduce me with an excited tone, putting her arm around my shoulder and I waved shyly, my cheeks turning fucking red from the attention I received.
Everyone waved back at me with smile on their faces, making me less nervous.
Okay, they look cool I guess. For now.
I hope I can remember their names because I'm so bad at remembering names. It's not just my thing.
But I was trying my best to concentrate and listen to Kayla as she was introducing me to each one of her friends.
Okay, the tall blonde girl with a model body is Valerie. Cynthia is the cute little brunette and Elise is the redhead. I think I'll remember.
The boys who are actually twins are Ryder and Hunter. Tall, muscular, brown curly hair and cute smile.
Okay, I got this....Fornow.
After I met everyone, we decided to play volleyball.
It's better to spend my time like this than sit alone, either in the big house or on the beach doing absolutely nothing.
3 months Grace, you can do it.
-----
After a few hours of playing volleyball and laughing our asses off, we stopped to enjoy the sunset.
I really lost track of time with Kayla and her friends. They're all pretty cool and I think my summer will be less boring now that I know them.
The sunset is fucking stunning. Better than Los Angeles for sure.
How nice it would be to have someone to share it with. Someone special.
Everyone talked about random things but I rarely got involved in their conversations, only if someone asked me something. I enjoyed the sunset in peace lost in my own thoughts.
"Tomorrow, same time here?" Kayla asked me after we decided to go home.
Honestly, I'm exhausted and I want to take a long bath and go to bed.
"Yes, sounds good." I nodded, still looking at the amazing sky.
"Are you staying far away from here? My brother will come to pick me up so we can give you a ride if you want?" Kayla turned her attention to me, which made everyone else look at me as we were heading to the nearest parking.
"No, there's no need. I'm staying 5 minutes from here," I replied quickly, pulling my hair behind my ear nervously.
"In the mansion up the hill?" Valerie asked surprised and I nodded, feeling my face begin to blush once again.
"Damn, that's fucking awesome," Hunter added with a slight sneer and I pursed my lips.
"I guess your parents are pretty rich if you can afford to stay there for the whole summer," Valerie spoke again, keeping her eyes on me and I bit my lips, feeling awkward.
Damn, that's exactly what I wanted to avoid.
I hate talking about my family's money, I'm so fucking tried of it. And I hate when I see someone look at me the way Valerie is looking at me right now like I don't fucking belong here.
What the fuck is her problem?
"My brother is here," Kayla said out of nowhere.
God, I want to hug her for saving me from this awkward conversation and Valerie's intense stare.
But as soon as I looked up and my eyes stopped on the guy leaning against an old black matte jeep, I had the feeling that y chin hit the ground.
Fuck.
The first thing I noticed about him is his tattoos covering every inch of his body that visible. My eyes hungrily followed every trace of ink on his massive muscular body, like it's my fucking job, feeling how the air is leaving my lungs.
I'm such a sucker for tattoos, it's my weak spot. Don't judge me.
He's standing in front of me in simple gray shorts and a white t-shirt leaning against the car and is making these simple things incredibly attractive.
My whole body shuddered as I keep staring at him like a psychopath. I couldn't see much of his face because his eyes are covered with black sunglasses but I just know it's handsome. It just can't be otherwise.
My mouth went dry by staring at him. Each movement made his muscles tightening more if that's even possible.
Fuck, I felt this down there.
Damn, Kayla has a brother, coming straight up from the cover magazine.
"Can you bring your stupid ass in the car? I have things to do," he drawled slowly in a deep voice and fuck, I had to squeeze my legs from his voice, which sent shivers down my body straight to my pussy.
What the fuck is happening to me?
"Oh shut up, I'm sure the fucking party or your dumb whores can wait," Kayla snapped back, making him laugh under his breath and damn, that's the most attractive sound I've ever heard in my entire life. I had to squeeze my legs to stop the throbbing down there.
I stood there like an idiot, staring at him, as if he's a work of art in a fucking museum.
"Just let's go," he sighed deeply obviously annoyed, pushing his body from the jeep and Kayla nodded before turning to me again.
"Here at the same time tomorrow, right?" she asked me and I nodded, trying to keep my eyes on her and not on her handsome brother.
She smiled at my answer, turning her attention to the others. "Come on, Valerie, let's go," she spoke again and after saying goodbye to everyone, she go in the car.
But Kayla's brother was standing still at one place staring in my direction, staring at me.
His eyes still covered with sunglasses but shit from the way my body reacted I just know for sure his eyes are checking every detail on me and my body, making me blush like a fucking tomato.
My body shivers just from the thought that this man has his eyes on me.
He didn't move a single muscle, just staring in my direction making me blush like hell.
God,save me, please.
"Can we go?" We have shit to do as well you idiot," Kayla yelled from the back seat and her brother shook his head as if he had been in a trance until now.
He cleared his throat, turning his back at me and finally, I felt like I can breath again. I don't even notice I was holding my breath until now.
"You're fucking annoying," he mumbled at his sister before getting into the driver's seat and dusting off, leaving me still shivering in the parking lot.
I didn't even notice when the others had left.
I guess this summer won't be boring after all.
