(Xander)I don't understand why the ladies here flocked to me the minute I stepped foot in Indonesia. I admit, I'm insanely hot, but come on! I have a girlfriend now and a son that I'm supposed to get a present for his birthday. I knew that Joy was flirting with me yesterday and I did try to be a gentleman about it and ignored it, but Cole had to be a smart ass and made me laugh. I admit, though, that what he said was funny. Today, however, I took Rachael and Cole to try some street food. I heard it was delicious, and I've always wanted to sample it. But, the moment Joy pulled over in the car and I stepped out, I could literally count the number of breasts that were pushing up in my face. It didn't go unnoticed to Rachael either, she was so pissed off I knew that we were going to argue about it as soon as we were in private. Sighing, I picked Cole up and started to give him a piggyback ride as we made our way through the crowded street. Rachael and Joy were walking behind us, so I di

(Rachael)It's been two days since we've been here, and I was enjoying myself a lot. We went to numerous places, taking pictures while sending them to my parents and Emily so that she would drop dead with jealousy, yeah I was that sort of friend. I could tell that something was going on with Xander and Cole, they kept on glancing at each other and Cole was giggling while shaking his head. At one point, it pissed me off, but I wasn't going to let it ruin my mood. We had to run from the paparazzi at one point, they chased us out of a clothing store that Joy took us to and didn't seem to be giving up on their pursuit. But, luckily, we escaped uninjured. It was getting annoying now, something that I wish they would stop doing, but how will they with Xander King around? “Come on, let's try one more store,” Xander said, making me groan. “I'm tired and my back and feet hurt. We've been to at least ten stores already, can't we just go back to the resort?” I know that some people would love

(Xander)I thanked Joy, who agreed to watch Cole until Rachael and I got back from our date. I also had to pay her a lot of money because babysitting wasn't something she signed up for, which is nothing for me. I'm just glad she agreed to it. “Where are you taking me?” Rachael asked for the fifth time as I tried to navigate my way through the town using GPS. Joy gave me her car just for tonight, hopefully, I won't damage it or anything.“It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you now, would it?” I replied, making Rachael sigh. “That's dumb, for one I hate surprises, and you know that. Secondly, that's some lame-ass attempt at being romantic, it's not nice at all.” I chuckled at her reply, but didn't say anything. If I have to do this right, then that's what I'll do. Nothing will make me change my mind about doing this the right way. “Well, that's too bad. It's a surprise and I won't spill.” It got quiet after I said that, which was better for me to think things through. I can't believe

(Rachael)(One month later)Time flies when you're having fun, it's been one month now and Xander and I have been closer than ever. When we arrived at his house in Manhattan, many things happened during the month. I had Cole's tenth birthday party, which was a blast, Xander and I had our engagement party, and It was such a busy time for us at work, that Xander and I hardly saw each other. Lawrence had gotten sick and Xander had to take him to the hospital, so I know that he's stressed out about it. That and the fact that his family were living with us as well, there was no privacy for us, especially when it came to Michael and Claudia. They would barge into our room unannounced and unexpectedly. Xander had to ask them to stop because it was getting out of control. Today is Monday and we are now at work. I admit that we had countless things to do, but that didn't give Xander the right to snap at me like he did earlier. His cold demeanor towards me, had me wondering what I had done wro

(Xander)Aunt Claudia called me and asked me where I was, but I hung up without replying. I couldn't deal with that shit right now. I just didn't want to be there right now. With my father in the hospital and now Rachael, it was just too stressful for me. I still had to go to work and maintain the house, everything was getting to me and the only thing that I could think of was to drink. I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around. Seeing that it was Leon, I groaned. I don't have the time or the patience for anyone right now. I needed to de-stress and this was the only way to do it. “You were going to drive after this?” Leon asked, taking a seat next to me. “Yeah, I can hold my liquor,” I replied while drinking another shot of vodka. I got mad at Leon for telling the bartender not to give me anymore because I was driving, and then I got mad at the bartender for listening to Leon. I pulled a stupid move and took out my gun while pointing it at the bartender, who froze in fear. Leon
