Chapter 1. The room felt too hot for Anna. She couldn’t fall asleep. The air was too thick, everyone was asleep, the house was dead silent, the air conditioning did nothing and all her thoughts kept circling back to him. Isabelle’s dad. She knew she shouldn’t be thinking about him…at all. But all her thoughts kept circling back to him. He was everything her lying/cheating boyfriend wasn’t…older, taller, and wayy more good looking and in shape. He was rich too. But then again, he’s her best friends dad. Isabelle had suggested taking Anna along with her to her dad’s place for the summer after Anna found out her boyfriend skylar had been cheating on her. “Forget him” Isabelle said…”his ego is wayy taller than he is, what you deserve is a staycation not some lying ass 4ft bitch”. Obviously he wasn’t that short but Isabelle made her point. Anna shouldn’t be spending her summer brooding over some guy who couldn’t give two fucks about her so she agreed and went along with Isabelle. I

Chapter 3. It was already two weeks into the summer and everyone started to fall in their various patterns. Isabelle with her coffee, music and late night texts…Ryan with his loud voice and his consistent flirting with Anna…Isaac with his loud silence that made the tension in the room multiply every single time he walked in…and Anna, spending her days listening to music with Isabelle and rebonding with Ryan…and her nights…spent mostly unraveling herself in Isaac’s arms. She couldn’t seem to let go of any one of them..she thought she could handle it…she was wrong. It all started small. Ryan’s hand at the small of her back as they passed on the porch, his arm thrown over her shoulder when the three of them sat on the dock at sunset. His jokes turned less annoying and more inviting…the kind that made her cheeks red and her brain foggy in a deliciously stupid way. “You look good” he said to her at lunch one day, like it was no big deal…like he wasn’t the same person who used to tease

Chapter 2: The light on her face woke her up from her sleep …she groaned as she went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror while brushing her teeth and hummed drivers license by Olivia Rodrigo… she rinsed her mouth and soaked herself into the tub and took a relaxing bath while remembering the night with Luca and humming to songs she came out thirty minutes later….she dressed up and decided to stay indoors for the day…She ordered breakfast and waited for the room service….about five minutes later she heard a knock and then opened it and let the room service enter and arrange her breakfast…she smiled at him as he went out …she had a fulfilling breakfast and the room service took it out for her ….She laid on her bed not knowing what to do next and just played games on her phone before receiving a call from hef assistant…“Hey Johanna”“Boss good morning”“Do you need anything and how are things faring at the company”“Everything's is good boss…I just wanted to inform you

Chapters two:Three day after the first session…the studio felt different quite maybe….the afternoon light spilled into the studio….Elijah came in first…he adjusted the tripod and, set the box at an angle and pretended he was entirely focused on exposure values but he wasn't.He was waiting for her.When the door finally creaked opened, Aria stepped in wearing a simple tee and blue jeans…hair loose and her skin was glowing she looked really great and she had a glow that made every detail of her look like photograph taken already…“You're early” she said setting her backpack down on the stool…“So are you” he replied without looking up…”I guess we're both pumped up for extra credit”..She raised a brow..”is that what we're calling it now?”Elijah grinned at her…”Call it whatever helps you sleeps at night” he said and winked at her….She only glared at him with a faint smile touching her lips…“Let's start”..The session began quietly, Aria stood at the backdrop again…. shoulders relax

Chapter 1. Sierra stood in front of the door..her arms crossed, already regretting it all.”I can’t believe I’ll be spending a whole month with this dickhead”..she mumbled to herself. Malachi wasn’t the nicest person on earth…he was grumpy and a literal snob…if only she could go back and reject the writing offer…she thought. The door creaked open before she could even knock…“You’re late”…he said, leaning on the door frame with a cup of coffee in his hands…radiating judgemental British guy energy. “Oh..your attitude’s out early, couldn’t even wait till we unpack uhn?”…she said as she rolled her eyes and walked right past him. “Attitude?…I’m observing darling”…he said…”Isn’t that why we’re here?…he continued with a smirk on his face. “Okay Sherlock”…she rolled her eyes again as her suitcase hit the floor with loud thump. “I can’t believe our boss thinks this would actually work..two writers who can’t stand each other in the same house? How genius”“You’re exaggerating”…he said sip
