BILLIONAIRE'S Worth it Travel

Chapter Two

Vincent POV

This is why I hate traveling in a commercial flight. But I can't do anything about it,, Andrew won't let me. He even paid my ticket. Yeah! As if I can't pay for it.

We just arrive here at California, and waiting for our bags to come out. Women eyes are glued on me, and I can't help but roll my eyes at them. It's like their seeing a food, and craving for it. I shakes my head, and tried to ignore does glaring eyes.

I look at my best friend;, Andrew who made sure that I'll come with him, and he gave me a smile—a smirk actually.

Why did I come with him? That's because, he made a deal with me. Australian businessmen, almost everyone wanted him to be the face of their products but he's just too lazy to do any photo shoots. If it's not for their band's album, he won't do such thing.

He made a very interesting deal that even I, Vincent Nicholas Johnson can't resist. He is willing to be our products' face.

What's his reason for inviting me, and for making a deal with me? That's because he wanted me to come along with him, and see California in a different way--- In a more interesting way. That's how he said it.

"Hey!", Andrew said, slapping my back.

"What”? I asked.

"PMS-ing”? He asked, giving me a smirk. "You're so grumpy." He added as he shakes his head.

"This is why I hate travelling in a commercial flight, even in a business class." I said to him as I stamp my foot on the floor, and waiting for my bags to arrive.

"Welcome to California, Vincent." Zoey,, Andrew's little sister, told me. She has brown hair, and has brown eyes as we'll. She's also Zoey, my little sister's friend. They're in the same university, and I think they're very close because sometimes Zoey would sleep in our house, and Zoey does the same.

And yes, they have the same name.

"Yeah" I replied to her.

"You'll be having fun here. We promise." She said to me as she raises her hand, and put it on her chest.

"Sure." The only thing I said.

"Come on children, your Grandfather is already outside." John,, Andrew, and Zoey's father told us.

We got our luggage, and went outside of the airport to be greeted by the heat of the sun.

I brought out my sunglasses, and wear it.

"There they are." Carmen said. She's John's wife, and, Andrew, and Zoey's mother of course. She is the same age as my own mother so; she treats me like her own son. Both of them, it's like I'm their eldest son.

"Your father didn't age at all." Carmen said to her husband who just gave his wife a kiss on the temple.

We walk towards Mr. Smith, and he smiled at his grandchild, and look at me. He gave me a nod. Being the family that they are, they hug because they haven't seen each other for two long years.

"You look handsome,, Andrew." Mr. Smith said.

"Of course, GF", Andrew replied to his Grandfather. "It runs in our blood." He added, and that earns a huge smile from him.

"And you, little princess." Mr. Smith said. "You look, handsome. Oh! I mean beautiful like your mother here." He added as he pointed to Carmen.

"Such a talker GF" Zoey said as she gave his grandfather a tight hug.

"And who is this handsome one here”? He said as he looks at me, and went back to Zoey's. He smiled at her.

"He's, Andrew's best friend." said Zoey, as she points at me.

"Nice to meet you...”? Their grandfather said, raising his eyebrows, and smiling at me.

"Oh... Vincent Nicholas Johnson, sir." I said as I quickly shake his hand. "Please call me Vincent." I added.

That shake hands is very firm.

"Welcome to California, son." Mr. Smith said, offering me a very warm smile. "Just call me Romeo or GF like how these kids call me." He added.

Romeo might have seen my reaction because he chuckled. "My mother likes Shakespeare." He said to me, and I nodded, and smiled back at him.

"That's a wonderful name. Nice to meet you too, Romeo." I said to him.

Introductions are done so we decided to go to the van waiting for us.

The Van is a 2016 Chrysler Town, and Country.

We put our luggage at the back, and made ourselves comfortable inside the van.

Romeo glance at me, and creased his brows. "So, Vincent…”? He started, making me look at him. "You're a Johnson, and from Australia." He said. "Are you related to the owner of Johnson's International? I heard he's an Australian." Romeo said, making, Andrew chuckled, and earning a stare from his Grandfather.

"Why are you chuckling, young man”? Romeo asked, curiously.

"Sorry, Grandfather but....", Andrew said, shaking his head. "He owns it." He added.

"Oh!" Romeo said.

Aella POV

Five laps? Yeah not bad I'm not a swimmer, so five laps is not a bad thing, beside its just five, and six feet. I'm pretty sure, everybody can do that. I tried to get out of the water but the wind blew so I decided to swim again for another lap. I stayed at the corner of the pool, and relax for a little while I'm watching my cousin, and niece swim. I'm a bit bored now, what should I do now? Swim until my other relatives arrive? I don't think so. What to do? What to do?

"Why don't you change your clothes now, they will arrive here anytime" my mom says, answering my thoughts. She can read my mind? Ha! Ha! Ha! Well, she's my mom so I think she saw my body language, and that brought her to that question. I thought to myself.

"It's freezing up there" I said to her, making sure to act like I'm really cold.

"Yeah" Christina, and Nancy said in unison but my mother just smirked at us. She even shakes her head.

My hands are starting to form prunes so I decided to get out of the pool before they become scary fingers.

I picked up my towel on the floor, and wrapped it on myself, and started to walk.

"I'll go take a quick shower, and change" I say to my mother.

"Me too" Christina said as she gets out of the pool. Nancy followed us as well.

Mother smiled at me. Yes, you're right. I told my mom a quick shower but hello? I'm Aella you think I'll make it quick? Na-ah!

As I take my shower I sing 'Every time' by Britney Spears

Coz every time I try, to find I fall without my wings I feel so small I guess I need you baby

And every time I see you're in my dreams I see your face it’s haunti-

When I heard someone calling me

"HAZEEEL!!!"

"Over here, why”? I shouted

"They're here!"

"Who”? I asked Nancy. Of course it’s Nancy.

"Do you have amnesia or something”? She said. "Who do you think will arrive? Your Prince charming”? She added, chuckling.

"Besides, Tina's already had her shower in our room's bathroom." Nancy shouted.

"Nothing's new, Aunt Nancy." I heard Tina answered, followed by a chuckle.

Uncle, andy, and others are here. I should make it quick.

"Yeah, I thought it's him, get out! I'll be there in 15 minutes" I replied.

"You're funny ha ha ha" she said in a sarcastic tone. "Be sure you'll be done in just 15, not an hour or so" she added.

"Yeah, now go away so I can finish my business here" I replied to her as I open again the shower, and do my business.

"O-kay"

I heard their footsteps fade, and I wrapped my body with a big towel, not with the one I used earlier.

I decided to wear a black leggings, and a fitted white blouse. I dried my hair with a blower on the drawer, brushed it, and put some mascara to brighten my eyes, and some lip gloss.

I pick up my phone on the side table, and went downstairs.

I can hear my uncle Rey talking to my cousin, Andrew in an Australian accent.

"Yes, Let the chips fall where they may" I said to myself. I don't have an Australian accent but it sounds so sexy.

I went outside, and made a peck on each of their cheeks when my eyes caught an unknown guy beside Zoey. Wow, he's really handsome, is he Zoey's boyfriend? I hope not. Okay admit it Aella, he looks gorgeous, and sizzling hot! His hair is black, and it's in it’s proper places, like he really put an effort on it. He smiled, oh sh*t! I just melted. How long am I staring at him? I don't want to know. I smiled shyly to ease the tension between us, and look away.

Nancy caught my eyes, and she smiled widely, her eyes are like telling me "He's hot". I shake my head, and walk towards her.

"Aella”? I stopped walking towards Nancy, and turn around where I heard the voice calling my name. "Yes”?

Alright I forgot to greet, Andrew, and Zoey because of that sizzling hot guy., Andrew approached me, and hugged me very tight.

I don't know why I suddenly got nervous. "How are you? Long time no see", Andrew smiled as he holds me at arm's length.

"I'm good" don't kill the conversation Haze, don't kill it. Think! Think! Think! "You”? That’s the easiest I could say despite of my running imaginations.

"Well, I'm still me" he said as I let out a small laugh "But, let's not forget to include the word still handsome" He said, making us chuckled.

"You know, it runs in our blood..... So you don't need to tell me that" I replied, giving him a smile.

I turn to hug my cousin, Zoey. "It's been two years Zoey, we missed you" I said as he gave me a warm hug.

"Yea, I was so little when we visit here" she smiled. "And now look at me, nothing's change" she continued, and we laugh. Zoey, and, Andrew are beautiful but as you can see they're smaller than me.

"You look pretty, Aella" she said as she touches my hair.

"But not prettier than you are Zoey." she's very stylish like her big brother.

I can see Mr. Hottie unknown guy staring at us as we talk. I can see him from the corner of my eyes. He's really gorgeous. He reminds me of the man on my dreams last night. Is he for real?

"Andrew, why don't you introduce your best friend to Aella, and Nancy”? Said my Uncle, andy who put me back to the present

, Andrew jumped at the thought. Yeah! Maybe he forgot he has company. He's, Andrew's best friend, and Zoey's boyfriend at the same time? Oh dear god, please no, not him.

"Oh right" answers, Andrew. "C'mon here mate, sorry I forgot my manners" he said to the guy who gave him a nod, and walked towards us.

The guy is now approaching us, and I can't help but look at his beautiful eyes, and nose, and that baby lips. I wanted to rip those lips, and glue it on my notebook, so I can kiss it whenever I wanted to. Stop that nonsense Aella!

"I'm used to it, Andrew" the man said, and wow! He has a beautiful voice. It's so strong but sweet.

The nearer he walks, the faster my heart beats, and I don't know why. I felt it last three years ago, and let's not reminisce that stupid thing that happened to me. After that incident I was like a moving rock.

"Aella, Nancy this is Vincent, my best friend. Vincent, these are my cousins", Andrew begins. Being himself maybe, the man named Vincent held out his hand first to Nancy, and by that I am truly disappointed, maybe he's interested to Nancy. Right! Who am I to make this guy be interested in me? I am nothing compared to Nancy. She's very sexy, beautiful, and smart. No questions to ask, just Nancy as usual. Well, I'm not jealous of the boys she flings because she's my cousin, and I love her.

When he held out his hand to me I take it firmly. His hands are firm but yet so soft. You know what I mean? It's like his hands are cotton made ball but when you take it for hand shake, it’s hard as a rock. "Hi, nice to meet you Aella" he said as he look me directly in my eyes.

I smile "Nice to meet you too. So how was your flight”? I said, trying to add up for a conversation. Do I look like pushy?

"It was a nice take off. The pilots were good" he answered simply, and gave me a smile, and that ladies, and gentlemen melts me.

"That's good" the only thing I said.

"Yeah, think so."
