*Pilar*
We are driving up a long driveway, past different odd buildings and park in front of a nice looking but not that big house. "Hey Matty.. didn't you say this guy is a movie star.. where is the mansion and the gold inlaid pool ?"

"Well he is.. but according to Nick they are going for the.. minimalist living.. Well minimalistic for people who could easily afford more.. and there is a pool and a hot tub.. not gold inlaid though". Matt says grinning.

"Well damn, I had hoped for some pampering". I say opening the door.. I am of course joking, I am actually pretty minimalistic myself.. can't afford anything else either.. but I think I had just expected something else from a movie star.. you know seeing things from Hollywood and such.

I step out and take a deep breath.. Nina stepping out too, looking around. "Wow.. it's actually really beautiful here.. in a kinda rugged way".

"It's a pretty nice place". I agree.. I have to give her that it is a pretty tranquil place.. it just have something calming about it.

"Hey Matt.. Emmy". A voice sound and I turn to see a not very tall guy with fluffy light brownish hair and a beard wearing nothing but sweatpants come zooming on some weird board with a wheel under.

Matt shakes his head. "Hey Zach.. what on Earth is that ?"

The guy jumps off, stumbling slightly. "Uhm .. a wheelie board I guess.. super awesome for getting around.. just don't fall.. and welcome".

"Thanks man". Matt hugs the guy, then Emilia. "And .. around here it's LZ.. more because well.. Zac and Zach sounds pretty much the same.. so I am the youngest and the smallest.. so little Z or LZ".

"Okay then LZ". Matt smiles. "You know my beautiful Emmy of course.. and this is her almost as beautiful cousins, Nina and Pilar".

The guy steps over to Nina first as she is closests holding out his hand. "Welcome.. Nina right ? I hope you are going to enjoy your stay and just ask if you need anything".

"Yeah Nina.. and nice to meet you too LZ". She shakes his hand, smiling at him.

"So you must be Pilar.. welcome". He shakes my hand.. then he looks at me, then Nina. "Uhm if you are both Emmy's cousin.. does that make you sisters ?"

I shake my head. "Nope.. different sides.. we are cousins too".

"Ahh.. cause you don't look like sisters.. but that explains it". He grins. "Nick is down by the lake, just down that slope and a couple of hundred meters to the left".

"Thanks man.. see you later". Matt say.. and we all start walking down the slope.

Emilia is smiling. "So that's Zach or LZ apparently.. I promise you are going to love him.. he is just the most adorable guy ever.. like I want to put him in my pocket and keep him as a pet".

"Poor guy.. so like eternally friendzoned". I shake my head. "But he actually seemed nice".

"Oh wow..". Nina says grinning. "When Pilar says you are nice.. then you really are a good guy.. Hey Maybe you shouldn't friendzone home then".

I shake my head. "I said nice.. I am not looking for a man.. at all.. and he isn't my type.. to pale".

"No one is your type anymore". This time she shakes her head but I chose to ignore her.

*Nina*
As we get nearer the lake I spot someone paddle nearer.. and I must admit I kinda stop in my track. It's a tall guy standing on a paddle board and white and tan dog sitting at his feet.. a blue and white one pacing the brink. He is only wearing surfer shorts, the guy, not the dog.. and he is showing off a rather hot and pumped body.

He has kinda ruffled dark sandy hair and his beard has a slight reddish tint to it. His face is handsome in the traditional way, strong and masculine and his broad chest has a nice cover of dark hair.. so this is cousin Nick.. Well hello handsome.

"Hey Nicky". Matt is waving at Mr Hotty who waves back and set of paddling towards us.

The dog jumps of first, joining it's friend on the brink. Then Nick pulls the paddle board on land and comes over. "Hey there.. sorry I had no idea when you guys would arrive".

"No problem Za.. LZ was there.. he told us where to find you". Matt say hugging his cousin. "Nice place".

"Right.. it's a little slice of paradise". Nick hugs Emilia. "A pleasure seeing you again Emmy.. you look stunning darling".

She giggles and smile at him. "Stop it your charmer.. you look happy and in great shape".

"Hey you two.. no flirting". Matt laughs, but it's easy to see there are no fear and tension.. Matt clearly trust both of them.. which makes me happy for my cousin, I know she adores Matt and has no interest in anyone else.

"Then introduce me too these lovely ladies". Nick gives him a cheeky grin and I kinda fear Pilar will say something bad.. but honestly I think Nick is just being.. Well flirty in a sweet way.. it doesn't come off as bad.

Matt turns to Pilar first.. his eyes tell me he also fear an outburst. "Well this little lady is Pilar.. Pilar this is my cousin Nick.. he means no harm".

"Why are you saying like I'm a rabid dog". Nick scrunch up his forehead. "Hi Pilar and welcome to wyldwood.. and I promise I won't bite.. neither does the dogs.. Zac might slobber a bit and I would look out for Marshall".

"I'll be sure to keep a distance.. but I think I am the rabid dog in the equation". Pilar smile and shake his hand. "Nice to meet you Nick.. and I promise not to bite either".

He turns and hold out his hand to me. "Well hi there.. I am Nick and you are ? Well stunning obviously.. but what do I call you ?"

I kinda want to say he can call me any damn thing he wants, but I stop myself. "Well my name is Nina.. it's a big pleasure meeting you.. would you happen to teach that paddling thing ? I would love to try".

"I am sure we can work out something". He is still holding my hand in his, smiling at me.

"I'd love that". I can feel the others looking at us. "Cute dogs, are they yours ?"

He shakes his head and pad his leg with his free hand. "Blue ! Shed ! Place boys". The white and tan dog is instantly by his foot. "Blue ! Place !" He say a little higher and they Blue and white one comes sprinting with a stick in it's mouth and lay it on his feet before sitting down.

"Aww can I pet them ?" Both dogs are looking curiously at my with their heads cocked and ears pointing at me.

"Sure.. this is Shed.. he is very well behaved and sweet.. he belongs to Marshall". He reach to scratch the white and tan dog behind the ear. "And that's Zac's dog Blue.. he is.. very much like his owner".

I gently pull my hand from Nick's grasp and squat down. "Hi boys.. Shed.. Blue and honour to meet you".

Both dogs come over and I reach out to scratch them behind the ears. Pilar is instantly beside me reaching out to caress Blue. "Aww ain't you just precious"

"They are good boys" Nick say sounding almost proud. "Come on I'll show you the tents".
