Becca returns to Miami with her best friend, Tally, and is amazed by the renovations to the Valentino family mansion. While Tally complains about her father not greeting them, Becca becomes distracted by James Valentino himself. She has secretly been attracted to him for years, and seeing him again makes those feelings stronger than ever. What happens when fantasy meets reality?
Becca. Tally’s house was a dream home-literally. Her father had built it from a dream he’d had, or so he’d told us when we were young girls. Looking at it now, I believed it. Little did I know that, in this house, all of my dreams would start to come true…. Five years had gone…
“What?” She gasped as she glanced in the direction I was looking. “Swimming instead of meeting me when I walked through the door?” The disdain in her voice snapped me out of my trance and caused me to roll my eyes. “I don’t understand what the big deal is, Tally. Who cares? We are here…
Pulling out her phone, I watched as Tally replied to whatever text she got while smacking on the bright pink bubble gum she had consumed at some point. “Shit. Becca, we need to get unpacked. Jesse wants us to meet for food.” “Oh-okay,” I said, not really looking forward to it. “I thought we were…
“Yeah,” I replied uncomfortably, “I guess I have. I’m not really the dorky girl I was the last time I was here. Then again, I could say you have changed as well.” He had changed. He had gotten older, obviously, but he didn’t seem as sad as he once had. Instead, he seemed satisfied with…
“Enough.” Setting his cup down, he quickly cleared the space between us once more. His body was cornering me against the kitchen countertop, an arm on either side of me as the ‘come f*ck me’ eyes gazed into my soul. “Mr. Valentino-“ “I told you to call me James, Becca.” His firm reply flipped the…
I needed to get laid. As if on cue, my office door opened, and in walked a tall blonde with hot red lipstick. Her tight blue dress hugged her in all the right places, but the problem was she wasn’t who I wanted to see. “Katrine. To what do I owe the pleasure?” Her lips…
F*ck! What’s the matter with me? This girl has me all out of sorts. “Sir, your four o’clock appointment is calling to cancel?” my secretary stated from my office door, pulling me from my thoughts. “That’s fine. I actually have an emergency that has come up, and I need to go home. See if you…
“Fine, fine,” She smirked. “Don’t say I didn’t try.” Turning on her feet, she skipped over towards the red-haired man who pulled her into the pool. Her giggling voice echoed through the air as I settled back into the comforting zone I was in before she arrived. However, without warning, another figure took her place,…
It was obvious this kid didn’t know who James was, but with the way James’ eyes narrowed and his fists clenched, I could tell he was about to find out. “Excuse me?” James sneered, “I think you need to leave… now.” I found myself wary about the way James spoke, and I would have sworn…
“I can’t let you go knowing that you could be hurt. Are you sure you’re okay?” His words weren’t ones I was expecting, but my heart swelled knowing that he was concerned. “I’m fine, but thank you for making sure. You don’t have to.” Furrowed brows stared back at me with confusion. “Why wouldn’t I…
