I've been laying in bed all day watching Netflix in my gray sweatpants and a crop top. Mood. I frown at Chuck and Blair being all cute and in love on my screen. Sighing at the sight of my favorite gossip girl couple being perfect for each other. Finally being able to turn off the tv, I lean back on my pillow. I need to do something tonight. Probably with Owen.

Owen Evans, he is my best friend. We've been best friends since, I don't even know, forever. Our parents were friends long before they had kids, we grew up in the same neighborhood. My older brother Theo and Owen's older brother Leo have always been best friends.

I reach for my phone to send a text to Owen asking if he's free tonight.

As usual he texts me back quickly and tells me he will pick me up in thirty minutes. Owen wants to become a photographer and since we were small he always took photos of me in different costumes. I loved it so much that I actually became a model. Well I'm still not at the top but it's not nothing.

With a smile creeped on my face, I jump out of bed and run to my closet. I find a cute summer dress with a flower pattern on, slipping on some white sneakers and a gold necklace, i sit down in front of my mirror. Managing to detangle the braid that is hanging loose on my shoulder, creating loose beach waves. With only a light makeup, concealer, mascara, blush and lipgloss I'm ready to leave my room.

I grab my handbag, phone and exit my room. Halfway down the stairs I remember I need a jacket. Running up again, I tried finding a jacket but didn't find anything cute so I headed my way towards my brother Theo's room. When I reach his door, i fling it open only to be viewed with abs, practically staring into my soul. My eyes look up. Fuck. Leo Evans. Owens brother and Theo's best friend.

One thing you should know, is that Leo Evans is stupid fucking hot. I mean, drooling hot. He plays football and has a great body shape, broad shoulders, abs and those biceps- damn. His eyes are dark brown along with his crazy messy curly locks on his head. Too bad my brother would kill me if I even tried to flirt.

I slap my hand over my eyes "sorry I just need a jacket" a chuckle escapes his lips. It's obvious that I look fucking stupid right now.

"You can look now, Mel" slowly i bring my hand down, seeing Leo in a white t-shirt and a smirk lingering on his lips.

"Where's Theo?" I ask, wandering up to Theo's closet to find a jacket to wear.

"He's taking a shower, we just got back from the gym" of course they were. The gym is practically their second home, hence the abs and big biceps. Stop drooling Melody for heavens sake.

My eyes trail over a black jean jacket. I think I'm going to steal it. "This will do. Please don't mention that I took it" I give him puppy eyes while putting on the jacket. He chuckles and looks at my figure, up and down.

"of course not Mel" a warm smile spreads across my face "you look nice. Going on a date?" My eyes wide as I shake my head.

"No, I'm just hanging out with Owen. We're probably having a little shoot so I dressed up a bit. Is it too much?" My overthinking ass takes over my emotions but I feel two hands place on my arms. Leo shakes his head.

"No. It's perfect. You look good" He smiles and I think some part of my stomach made a back flip. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

"Thank you, I'll see you later" with that i rush out the door. My cheeks probably burning red.

Me and Leo are close but not as close as you would think. I mean he's funny, kind, hot and really fun to hang out with and did I mention hot? We just never get the chance to be close considering him and Theo are best friends and I have Owen.

Thinking of Owen, he's probably here. Just as I walk out I see a car pull up the driveway, I open the car door and take seat in the front seat.

"What's up loser" I shout at him, trying to get his attention from the loud music coming from the speakers.

Owen wraps his arm around my shoulder and sings to the music. "I know for sure" he screams before banging his head to beat drop. "Everybody wanna steal my girl, everybody wanna take her heart away"

He continues to belt out one direction like the loyal directioner he is. I cackle a laugh at him and hit the back of his head. "Start the car you moron" he smiles at me and starts the car.

We drive along the road, belting out our favorite one direction songs along with some Ed Sheeran favorites. Us Brits knows how to make music.

Owen and I reach the coast after a forty minute drive. London is slowly getting into the summer weather. It's a bit windy but the evening is still beautiful.

As we're waling along the coast line talking about every topic that reach our minds. That's something I've always loved about Owen. We can talk for hours and not get sick of it but we can also sit in silence for hours and not be awkward.

"so, when's your next model gig?" he questions. I shrug my shoulders.

"Don't know. I haven't heard anything from my agent yet" a small frown forms on my lips but I'm not bothered by it. It's nice to have a free summer. Even if I'm broke.

"Well, since you're free. Me and Leo were thinking about traveling to Spain for the summer and we thought about bringing Theo so I thought why not bring your crazy ass" is he serious? I gasp.

"no way, really?" he nods his head and my loud squeal makes him a bit scared before I wrap my arms around him. "yes. yes. Of course I want to go, although I don't have that kind of money Owen"

"Already thought of that. Leo is paying for you"

"what? No"

"Yes. What do you mean no?"

"I can't accept that"

"shut up, he wants to. We all want you there"

After about one second of consideration, I agree because guess what Leo Evans. I will pay you back.

"Alright, come on! Fashion designers might not want you but this light and your model poses, I need a picture"

"okay I hate you for that" I slap the back of his head while he laughs at me.

"no you don't"

He's right. I don't.
