Esme had her turn. Now it was her daughters turn. Bella is 18, still guarded by her parents and her bodyguard. She has to deal with her brother and parents, then a new bodyguard enters her crew.
Alex Kim was born into a family that wasn't rich, but...
Alex dragged me outside by the arm. I was so confused, trip? Leaving on Friday?
"What did your mum mean?" Alex closed the glass sliding door behind us.
"Every year, my family goes on a three week trip-
"Three weeks?!" He shot me a look. "Sorry."
"Three week trip to Korea. I forgot about it, until today clearly. Your father knows, but I must've not told you. I'm so sorry."
"I don't care about that. Three weeks Alex? That's a fucking long time."
"Aww, are you going to miss me?" He teased. I punched his arm. "Ow."
"Shut up Lexy."
"Anyway, I leave Friday. Which means we have tomorrow and then we leave 10am on Friday," I nodded.
"I'll drive you to the airport," I suggested. He nodded and hugged me.
"Come on. You should pack I guess?" He reluctantly agreed. We said goodbye and left back to mine.
"I need to change," I split. I went to my room and changed out of my swimmers into this outfit:

I tried to sneak up on Alex again. I leant against his doorframe while he looked in his cupboard.
"Not gonna happen," I groaned and stomped into his room. "Sucker."
"Shush. Is this really how you pack?" I looked ridiculously at his suitcase. He shrugged.
"Yeah, why?" I frowned.
"Because that's the worst way. Let me help," I dumped everything out despite his protests. "You put what you're going to need first at the top and the stuff you won't need for a while at the bottom."
We spent the next two hours organising his suitcase and packing. I said it was best to plan outfits beforehand that way you don't have to dig through everything.
By the time we finished, I had filled a backpack, duffle bag and a suitcase. Jesus.
"Ugh, finally, done." I collapsed onto his bed.
"Agreed," He crawled next to me, and unexpectedly rested on my chest. His arms wrapped around my waist.
My body flamed and tingled where he touched. I played with his soft hair and tried to calm down my breathing so he couldn't feel me rapidly panting.
"Friday." I whispered. He looked up and shook my head.
"Movie?" I agreed and we went down the home cinema. We decided on Dune because I have a crush on Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya's in it.
We ate the popcorn on the massive U-shaped couch. Eventually I grew tired and yawned loudly. The couch wasn't satisfying me comfort wise, and Alex noticed.
