Liz took more time than usual on her hair and makeup that morning, however she wasn't all that aware of what she was doing. All night she had dreamed of a kiss, a kiss under the moonlight many years ago…the kiss that she felt had changed her.
Slowly pulling on her sexy light pink bikini with faded jean cut off short shorts, she ran a hand through her silky super straight hair and let it fall around her face. She looked in the mirror and instantly realized that not only was this outfit totally unfit for this country club, but it looked almost identical to the outfit she'd worn on her first date with Tony…
Liz sighed deeply before ripping off her clothes, why do I have to see him here? Why now? Is this god's way of putting obstacles in my way to success???

Tony Sargent stretched his muscular arms out in front of him the moment he sat up in bed. For some unusual reason he was in a good mood this morning, and for Tony who had never been a morning person, this was vary wild…but then he remembered the wonderful dream he'd been having, the one about his golden haired summer girl!
"Well, well, look who's in good mood this morning," Mexx Tyson said, coming out of the washroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.
Tony smiled, a rare smile. Ever since the whole disappearing incident, his band had been under a lot of stress and were taking it out on each other (that was why their agents had told them to take a vacation while this whole thing was resolved). While Cassirol was taking this whole thing pretty bad by being overly rude and aggressive, Mexx on the other hand tried his hardest to keep everyone at peace. But that wasn't much of a surprise to Tony, Mexx was always the nice guy with his orange-blond curls and light fun-loving blue eyes, and Tony couldn't be happier to have him as his roommate.
"Hey man," Tony said pulling his covers off him and got out of bed.
"So you gonna tell why your in such a good mood or what?" Mexx sprayed on deo then turned back to Tony, "Oh come on Tons, just tell me who it is!"
Suddenly Tony's smile faded…he'd seen her again last night…and she was with another guy!!! Just when Tony's spirits were about to crumble, he remembered something! He'd seen her again just like he promised himself…and her, even though she had moved on to another guy, she was still his one and only summer girl and if she was happy with that other guy…then he was just gonna have to deal with it 'cause he knew he'd give the world to make her smile and if the other guy made that happen…well Tony knew love was crazy!
"What's wrong man?" Mexx asked now towel drying his shortish hair.
"Nothing," Tony said quickly and soon realized he wasn't lying, "Nothing, I'm just glad I get a second chance to finish something that never really ended."
With that Tony made his way to the bathroom, it was time to wash off all the bad things and think of what really mattered…he could see Liz's beautiful smile once again.

Liz tried to look as natural as possible, holding on to her so-called husband Marko, as they made their way through the tables full of celebrities eating breakfast on the beach café in the country club. For some reason Liz felt a little self conscious, when she was positive she didn't need to be with all the clothes and things Linda had Marko bring for them to make their under cover persona a reality.
Just as she was telling to try to look around for their subjects so they can find a table close to theirs, Liz felt a rush of cold on her arm. A young man dressed like a classic 80 bad-boy in tight thin white T-shirt, skin-tight faded ripped blue jeans, faded brown boots, and black leather jacket looked apologetically at her.
"I'm so sorry…" as he went on and on apologizing, Liz looked down to find that non of his raspberry juice had stained her lime green sun dress, only her arm which he was wiping gently with a white cloth.
A waiter just arrived asking if everything was alright and Liz smiling warmly at the stranger with short curly blond hair, said nothing was wrong.
The boy's light eyes sparkled, "I'll seriously feel bad for the rest of the day if you wont let me make it up to you, why don't you join me and my friends for breakfast, my treat."
Liz would have said no, considering she had more important things to do that morning…but this boy's sparkling fun-loving eyes made it impossible to refuse his offer, besides finding someone this sweet and friendly amongst all these celebrities was next very rare…Liz quickly pushed her thoughts to one side and nodded at the boy and gave Marko a tug as he'd been watching a girl band all wearing bikinis at a table close by.
"So is this the first time you've come to this Country club?" The boy who'd introduced himself as Mexx asked after stating his amazement over how Liz didn't recognize him.
"Yes, we're here for our honeymoon," Liz said showing him her expensive diamond ring.
"Aaah, I see, a newly wed couple," Mexx said smiling warmly at her then his expression changed into a sad one, "I wonder if I'll ever find someone special for me…being a musician has it cons, I mean most girl I meet want me only cause of the fame and money—"
Mexx's words were cut off as someone called his name, and Mexx suddenly grinned at the two of them, "Here's my table, and these are my friends," he said walking them over to a large table where 3 rocker looking guys were sitting at, and instantly Liz's eyes met the deep blue eyes of Tony, who seemed to be just as mesmerized by her as she was by him.
Liz didn't really hear Mexx telling the others that they were gonna have some company over for breakfast, instead she took the closest seat she could take still staring at Tony not even realizing she'd just taken the seat across of him.
Liz had to herself to get a grip, and so with much difficulty she had to pull her eyes away from Tony's and spend the rest of the time trying to look at anything but him, which was turning out to be pretty hard since she was sitting right across of her. She had to keep reminding herself that this was the perfect time to dig around for her story, so she pulled on her best acting face.
"Oh now I think I remember who you are," Liz pretended like she was being dumb all this time, "of course your Breakin' ice!"
"Finally, I was starting to lose some of my overlarge ego," Mexx shook his head laughing lightly.
"See I was madly in love with you guys in high school, but after I started university…" Liz faked a sigh, "Let's just say there was no time for anything but studying."
"What did you study," Nayan Chase the band's keyboardist asked, running a hand over his shaved head, "I was in university for a while there, but then I decided music was my life!"
Liz giggled, "aaaah that's so sweet, I studied law, and now I'm on my way to becoming a very well paid lawyer," without meaning to Liz suddenly turned towards Tony, who looked…disappointed.
"But you said your dream was to become a writer, you said you wanted to write your own mystery novels…you told me that…it was going to be your way of expressing yourself!" Tony suddenly burst out, making everybody at the table to stare at him.
Just the fact that he remembered all that malted Liz from head to toe, and she couldn't think of anything she'd want more than to wrap her arms around him and kiss him like he'd never been kissed before…then tell him the truth so she'd wipe the disappointed looked that ripped into her heart away…but then she noticed that they'd all turned to her to see her reaction, see if she was really a reporter trying to dig around for a story. Liz had to think fast, or her cover would be blown for good. So she ripped her eyes away from Tony's and pulled on her saddest most regretful face.
"There was a time when I'd have liked nothing better than to become a respected journalist that traveled around the world writing about things that opened peoples eyes to the world and changed their views…but after working in a newspaper office, I realized how incredible and deep my dream was…what if I couldn't make it? What if I was bound to work for a measly gray office for the rest of my life, earning hardly anything," Liz closed her eyes and gave a shaky breath, "Let's just say my fears got in the way of me and my dream…that's why I respect people like you who followed their dreams bravely, so much."
"It's just too dam bad you didn't follow your dreams," Cassirol said leaning over to her, so close that she could see the golden threats in his dark coffee brown eyes, "I can tell that you'd have made one heck of a reporter."
"Really?" Liz couldn't help but feel really flattered.
"Definitely, there's something in you…maybe you should still think bout writing you own novels," Cassirol said smiling a smile that Liz was sure made most girls' faint.
"But hey your no so bad off," Mexx grinned turning to Marko, who was once again checking out girls in bikinis, and Liz couldn't help but blush in embarrassment.
"Don't worry Liz, we've had our own share of gold diggers, being in this business and all," Nayan assured her while cussing what seemed to be his last ex.
"Yeah, don't worry bout it, you don't have to be embarrassed," Mexx assured him, "my wife even cheated on me during our honeymoon."
"Hn, you think that's bad? I went to jail for my last girlfriend," Cassirol laughed bitterly, "after I told her I wanted to break up, she actually went and beat herself up then went to the police station reporting me in for abuse and attempted murder."
Liz didn't know what to say but just to stare at him, how could anyone do such thing…but then her mind suddenly reminded her of the girl that had caused Tony's life to end. That memory didn't come alone, with it came all those emotions she had felt watching the large mental looking man attacking Tony…and she remembered at that moment she wasn't sure of anything…except the fact that no matter who Tony was she loved him and he was in danger.
It seemed as though Tony was reading her mind cause when she looked up she saw his looking into her eyes, with understanding. No, Liz reminded herself, right now they're opening up to you, and you have to get them to keep going. There's no way you can afford to googly eyes Tony if you want your story!
"Hey Stan man's here," Mexx announced.
"So who was the lucky or shall I say unlucky girl last night?" Nayan asked his gray eyes laughing.
"Vary original Nayan," Stan answered, and Liz turned around to see a tall handsome boy wearing fitting faded black jeans ripped at the knees, and a totally open button down Hawaiian buttoned down shirt showing Stan's perfect tanned and muscular abs. He also had the handsome Latin face with dreamy green eyes strong chin, with longish black curls.
"See Stan here is a real ladies man," Mexx explained, "he shags every girl he finds attractive on the first date, or even before it."
"Like his sister," Cassirol said with a deep look of hatred, making Liz's reporter instincts go off.
"Fuck you Cassy," Stan said, however Liz could tell that there was no real hatred behind it.
Unless Liz was totally off track there was more going on to the story than she knew…way more. It seemed as though…Liz couldn't quit put her finger on it but she could tell Stan and Cassirol were hiding possibly even from the others!
A/N: I know it's kinda confusing right now but there'll be way more things happening' with the story Liz's working on, things that might put her in danger even.
