Ines flicked on the television, settling onto the couch with a tired sigh. Her thoughts drifted to the previous day's events, and a slight frown appeared on her face as she recalled the man who had approached her after the game. She had almost forgotten about him until her phone pinged with a new message.

She unlocked her phone, and there it was – an unknown number with a message. The message itself was short and simple, but it piqued her curiosity just enough to make her sit up straight and pay attention.

She clicked open the message, and the man's name immediately popped up on her screen – Stefon. A wave of recognition washed over her as she recalled his friendly smile and easy laugh from the previous day.

She read the message, a slight smile tugging at the corners of her lips as his words echoed in her head. It was simple and to the point, just like their brief interaction. Ines sat there for a moment, debating how to respond.

Ines pov:

I texted Zay that I was otw to be ready, I was about 4 minutes away from their hotel. I was dancing and singing to Rihanna's playlist while driving.

I finally pull up and he was already locking his door on his way out, I beep the horn scaring him making me burst into laughter, "Get in wimpy!" I yelled, smiling as Zay gave me a annoyed look.

"Not funny at all" he said getting in before buckling up, I drove for a few minutes before we pulled into a parking lot with a huge building in front of it.

We got out as I locked my car walking to the entrance with Zay beside me, "Where are we?" He asked as I turned to him giving him a smirk, "Patience" I told him while he opened the door for me.

I walked in with Zay behind me as we payed at the desk before walking upstairs, soon as we got up there I saw a bunch of people well fake people, "Wow Ines, a wax museum?" I hear Zay say from behind me.

"What? do you not like it?" I turned to him as he gave me a blank look before shaking his head no, We walked around taking pictures with all the figures before it was time to go, we ended up at one of my favorite cafe's while i'm scrolling through my phone.

Zay thanked the waiter for dropping off their food, he looked up to see Ines smiling at her phone, "Something funny?" He asked as she looked up from her phone, she quickly turned it off sitting it on the table, "Yea sorry my friend texted me something dumb." She lied.

He nodded before taking a bite of his food, Ines didn't get anything because she had ate awhile ago, "So. You ready to go back to Florida?" She asked breaking the silence, "Nah, rather be here with you." He shook his head.

Ines gave him a weird look before shaking it off, "right, well i hope you enjoyed spending time with me" she smiled while they were ready to leave. "I loved it, glad I got to finally meet you." He said while they walked towards the car.

Zay grabbed her pulling her close to his side making her cringe some, finally they got to the car and she broke away from his grip.

She drove back to his hotel dropping him off, Zay gave her one last hug before leaving. When Ines finally got home it was becoming dark so she went to her room and took a shower before laying down in her bed.
