MasukColt's POV I spent the night on the couch. I tried to get her to go out to dinner but instead she spent the night locked in the only bedroom. She was trying to put her walls up as high as she could. I could feel it, but I wasn't going to let it happen. We get to spend the entire day together on the beach, touching each other, and she'll be mostly naked. I for one can't wait but I was going to have to take care of something several times, or it was going to be a problem. I mean, it's still probably going to be a problem. They came knocking on the door before the sun was up and whisked Finley away. She had to get hair and makeup done. I however didn't have much to get ready. They did do a spray tan and my hair, but that was about it. "Colt, let's get some test shots of you, over there standing in the water ankle deep," the photographer directed. The sun was just peeking up as I stepped into the water. The water was warm as it lapped around my ankles. I just stood there while he t
Finley's POV I walked into the apartment holding my shoes in my hand. I was praying that Kennedy was still asleep but no such luck. She was sitting on the couch with a smug smile on her face and a cup of coffee in her hands. "I was going to get a workout in and see if you wanted to come but I'm guessing you got a workout all night long." "No workout last night. Not even close." "So, what you spent all night with him, but you didn't jump his bones, ride his long stick, smash your genitals together, I can keep going if you want." "No," I huffed, plopping down on the couch beside her. "We went to dinner and then he drove me out to the country and made a bed in the back of the pickup, and we talked a lot and we watched the stars and fell asleep." "Well, that sounds boring." "It wasn't. There's a history of looking at stars with us. It was sweet." "Did you tell him everything?" "No and I'm not going to. It won't change anything." "Maybe not, but he deserves to know. He needs to k
Colt's POV I pulled into Finley's apartment complex. I was nervous. This was our first official date. She may think this is fake, but it's anything but that to me. This is my chance to finally make her mine. I didn't plan this to work this way, but it's really working out in my favor. I grabbed the lilies off the passenger seat. I know that they weren't her favorite, but they weren't always easy to come by. Her favorites had to be ordered in advance because they usually had to bring them in. So, this time I got pink and white lilies. I knocked softly on their door, and it was opened by Kennedy. She looked me up and down and glared at me. "She isn't ready," she said and stepped into the hallway and shut the door. "I'm only going to tell you once. That girl in there is broken and you are the one that did it. So, either put her back together or leave her the fuck alone and I swear to god if you break her heart, I will rip yours out of your fucking chest and fry it up and fucking e
Finley's POV I woke up with the need to vomit. I had way too much to drink last night and really don't remember anything, but I do know that I'm not in my apartment. Right now, I don't care. I jumped out of bed and ran to the open door praying it was a bathroom. The stars were aligned because it was. I flushed the toilet and stood up to see Colt standing there. "We have a meeting in an hour with Chrissy and Brian. I can run you home to get changed." "What? Why?" "Just look at your phone," he said and walked out of the bathroom. I went and rinsed my mouth and washed my face and went back into what I guessed was his room. When I looked around, I saw pictures of the three of us growing up. A little pain ran through my heart. I knew that he didn't have his parents growing up and that is why he was always with us. But seeing it like this brings it all to light. There were no photos of his parents at all. "Here, you can wear these to your place," he said and threw a pair of sweats at
Colt's POV I stood on the sidelines watching Finley take test shots. She looked so damn good in her uniform. They were black and grey with a little bit of yellow while mine was black and yellow with a little bit of grey on them. They were opposite of each other. I continued to stand there like a creeper and watch as they started to direct her. They were getting started and she didn't even realize it. She was a natural and so damn beautiful. Someone tossed her a ball, and she started doing tricks with it. The photographer was eating it up. "Colt, get in there with her." He yelled and that is when her whole-body posture changed. She closed herself off and went from relaxed and having fun to tense and angry. I walked up next to her. "Hello beautiful," I whispered and she just glared at me. "I don't know what is going on here but you two are going to have to act like you actually like each other." He said, and I watched as Finley took a deep breath and closed her eyes like she wa
Finley's POV We've been in LA for two weeks. Kennedy and I found a place that wasn't too far from the gym. We don't officially start our season for another two weeks, but Chrissy called me yesterday and asked me to come in for a meeting. I had already had an offer for a bathing suit shoot, but I turned it down. It was fantastic money, but it would have landed right in the middle of our move and required me to go out of town, and I couldn't do that to Kennedy. She hated being alone. I walked into the large building that Chrissy had said was her office. It was massive and one of the nicest buildings I had ever been in. It had marble floors and dark wood along the walls and beautiful art on the walls. Everything here screamed expensive. "Finley, I'm so glad that you could make it on such short notice." She said as soon as I walked in. She must have been waiting for me. "Of course. You're technically my boss." "Don't think of me like that. I'm more of a friend." "Yes, a friend th
