( before you read. I apologise for any mistakes because right now I'm too lazy to proof read this chapter)

Word count- 4458

I wake up to someone shaking me.

"Smokey! Get off my bed" I groan pushing him away.

"Excuse me! Do I look like a dog to you?" I hear Serena's voice.

I open my eyes, and she's standing in front of me, with her arms crossed.

"What do you want?" I mumble, covering my face with the pillow.

"And why did you open the curtains?" I exclaim.

"We have a problem. We have to move out of the penthouse. It's some shit about the owner, coming and staying in the house" she explains.

I sit up in bed quickly.

"What? No fucking way. Dad paid for this penthouse." I get out of bed, pulling my feet out of the duvet.

I look at her, and she's biting her lip to stop laughing.

"Is this a prank? I swear to god Serena I will drown you" I glare at her.

"No! It's not a prank. I was just laughing at you" I roll my eyes, pulling my hair up in a bun.

"You have to come and talk to these people" she say.

I nod walking out of the room with her. All the boys are sat on the couch, talking to the receptionist, and another guy. They turn to us.

"Good morning, Miss Parker. I've come with bad news" the receptionist smiles at us sadly.

I nod.

"The owner, Mr Blake, is back for a few important meetings. He's booked this penthouse. We are more than happy to give you 3 suit-" I shake my head at her.

"We've paid for this penthouse. Tell your owner, would he rather lose money and customers, for his own benefit?" I say

"You slay girl!" Serena exclaims.

She covers her mouth quickly.

"Miss Parker, please understand. We can't say anything in this matter, because it's Mr Blake's Hotel" I frown

"Look this is not right. We just arrived yesterday. I'm tired as hell. I haven't ate, I just woke up. Please come back a little later, when I'm actually ready to talk. I'll say something bad, which will get me thrown out of this hotel, and we both don't want that happening" I sigh

I start walking back into my room, when Serena grabs my hand. I turn to her, as the women talks on the phone to someone.

"Yes of course. They're leaving right now. Oh fuck" she swears under her breath.

She swore.

I smile slightly, shaking my head, and looking at Serena.

"Let's just get the 3 suite" she says

"Serena, what has our parents taught us? Don't back down without a fight. My dad paid for this penthouse. Your dad paid for our flight. Our parents made it happen, that we're actually standing in hawaii. You're just going to give it up? Just because they said so?" She sighs

"Fine" she rolls her eyes and I smile.

She leans closer to my ear.

"I have 3 guns on me. I can always shoot them" I shakey head quickly.

"No way. You are not using the cupcakes"  I stare at her.

The cupcakes is a nice word for guns.

"Fine. I'm going back to sleep" she walks back into her room.

"See ya later babe" Ethan walks to his room.

The other two walk to their rooms. I'm left with Adrian.

"You look aweful" he says to me.

I frown.

"Thank you for making me feel so great" I mumble

"No problem" he smirks

"Miss Parker. Mr Blake is on his way" I nod at her

"I'll talk to him" I walk out of the penthouse, quickly.

I walk towards the door to the stairs, when it opens up, hitting my nose.

"For fuck sake" I groan, closing my eyes.

"Fuck. Are you okay?" Someone asks in a deep voice.

I could just die happily right now.

"Miss? Are you okay?" He asks again.

"Yeah" I whisper staring into his blue eyes.

He freezes.

Okay. I don't look that bad.

"I have to go" I mumble, walking around him.

He grabs my hand. I turn around, looking at his back.

Guys in suits, are every girl's weakness.

"I know those eyes anywhere. Don't you remember me kitten?" He whispers

It's my turn to freeze. Kitten?!

"Gabe..." I whisper, walking around him and standing in front of him.

He doesn't look like Gabe.
Gave was more innocent looking. This guy looks like he's ready to kill anyone in his way.

And Gabe never liked suits. He said that they make them to tight.

"Am I not going to get a hug, kitten?" He smiles at me.

His smile. His dimples.

I hug him tightly, wrapping my arms around his neck.

He chuckles, wrapping his arms around me, pulling me closer.

"You asshole. Why didn't you come back?" I whisper

"Are you crying?" He asks

"Of course I'm crying. I'm seeing you after 18 years!" I mumble, my hands tightening around his neck.

He pulls me off him, frowning at me.

Okay?

He wipes my eyes, smiling at me.

"I told you kitten. Pretty girls don't cry" he whispers, wiping my face.

I hug him again.

"I'm not pretty anymore" I roll my eyes, still not letting go.

"You're more beautiful" I blush slightly,my hands loosening on him.

He tightens his hold on me.

"I missed you" he whispers

"Why didn't you come back then?" I whisper

"I had to make a life for myself, and my mom. And for you. Sorry I took so long" he sighs

I let him go and smile at him.

"How is Mrs Blake?" I ask. Wait. Mr Blake?  No it can't be..ignore it Caitlin

He smiles.

"She's great now" I nod

"You still take the stairs?" I whisper, smiling at him.

He smiles back.

"Every day" I smile, as he hugs me again.

"I haven't showered" I mumble

He chuckles

"It's okay." He whispers, his hands tightening around my waist.

"I missed you every day kitten" he mumbles

"Caitlin!" I hear Adrian's voice.

I quickly push Gabe away from me, and stand up straight as he walks towards me.

He better not tell dad.

"We'll just move into the 3 suites. I've already told them. You have to tell Serena to put the cupcakes away, wait. What happened to your nose?" He frowns at me.

"Oh fuck. Come with me" Gabe holds my hand. He pulls me inside the penthouse, and towards the kitchen.

He makes me sit on the tool, and rummages around in the cupboard.

He comes out with a first aid kit, and stands in front of me.

"I'm sorry kitten. I didn't know you were going to be there" he mumbles, getting some wipes.

"It doesn't hurt. I'm fine." He looks down at me.

"Are you sure?" I nod

He smiles at me.

"I'm sorry again" I smile.

"Its okay"

"How's Mr Parker, and Angel?" He asks

"They're both good." He nods

"What about the dog? Do you still have it?" He asks and I grin.

"Yep. His name's Smokey. You went before I could tell you. He's really big now. He's nearly as tall as Serena" I say and he smiles.

"Serena?" He asks and I nod.

I jump off the stool. I blush as my chest touches his.
He smirks, stepping back.

I hold his hand, and pull him to the living room, where everyone is standing this.

"This is Serena. She's my cousin. You remember auntie Kara right? The one who would give us chocolates?" He nods.

"And you'll always give me yours, saying your dad doesn't let you have a lot of chocolates" he says

I nod.

"Well this is auntie Kara's daughter, Serena. Serena this is Gabe" I smile at her.

She gasps.

"Gabe,Gabe?" She asks and I nod

She looks at him.

"From his childhood pictures, he doesn't look hot. But now? Someone turn the AC on" she fans herself.

I frown at her.

That's not how you make first impression.

"Anyway, this is Adrian. He's my neighbour, and best friend. We went to the same college" Gabe nods.

"Gabriel Blake." He shakes Adrian's hand.

That was...hot.

"This is Ethan-" Ethan smirks

"Her boyfriend." He smirks at me.

Gabe chuckles

"Gabriel Blake. Her husband" he shakes Ethan's hand.

Ethan frowns, as I roll my eyes.

"What?" He mumbles confused

"Nothing" I say.

"These are his friends, Roger and John. And this is the receptionist, and some other guy" he chuckles

"This is Katy, and this is the manger, Andrew" Gabe says

"Mr Blake, we're extremely sorry. We tried to get them to leave before you came, but-" Gabe shakes his head.

"Its okay. You may leave" Gabe says, being serious. They walk out.

This Gabe is scary. He's not the same Gabe I knew.

What if he's joking with me.

"Serena get the cupcakes out. Who are you really?" I move away from him.
Serena points her gun at him.

The Gabriel Blake, I knew was sweet. He would always be smiling at everyone.

This Gabriel Blake, is not smiling at anyone. Except me. But still.

"A gun? Are serious?" Gabe smirks at Serena.

Her gun wavers slightly, as she blushes.

"Come on kitten. Don't you recognise me? 'You always keep the girls away from me, because I only love you'" he says. I smile.

He said that to me, in school, when we were kids. Girls would always want to play with him, but they wouldn't want to play with me.
He told me to keep them all away from him.

"Still suspect me? I thought you were clever than that?" He smirks at me.

I blush slightly.

"Put the cupcake down" Adrian says to Serena. She puts it down, as Ethan stares at her.

"You have a gun?" He smirks walking closer to her.

"Do you want to go out and chill some time?" He asks her.

She blushes, and nods.

Adrian walks to his room, well their room.

"Come here kitten" Gabe says.

I walk closer to him, standing in front of him.

"Yeah?" I ask

"How long are you here for?" He asks, holding my hand

"2 weeks" he nods pulling his phone out.

He calls someone, as I stare are him confused.

He smiles at me.

"Cancel my meetings for 2 weeks" he hangs up

"Gabe.." he shakes his head

"Can I take you out today? Wherever you want to go?" I blush slightly

"Okay." He smiles

"Go get ready. I'll wait for you downstairs" I nod

He leans closer to me, kissing my cheek.

"I missed you a lot kitten." He whispers

"Oh" he chuckles, stepping back.

"I'll wait for you downstairs" he says walking towards the door.

"Wait! Gabe where are we going?" I ask

"Where do you want to go?" He asks

"To the beach" Serena says.

He frowns slightly, looking at the wall. He looks at me, and smiles.

"Do you want them to come?" He asks

"Yes" Serena whispers into my ear

I nod.

"We'll go to the beach" he smiles,and walks out of the room.

"Oh my god! It's Gabe!" I scream at Serena.

She jumps up and down with me.

"It's Gabe! Oh fuck! It's Gabe!" I gasp

"Who is this Gabe?" Ethan asks.

I quickly stand up straight. I forgot they were there.

"We have to get you the best bikini. We have to sort you your hair out. At least go brush your teeth" she gasps at me.

I run to my room.

Gabe's back.
*
*
"No!" I gasp at her as she shows me two pieces of pink cloth.

"It won't even fit me!" I say and she groans

"I'm just going to wear, the one I bought for myself. It's comfortable" she rolls her eyes as I pick up my white bikini.

"That one? But that one doesn't show much?" I roll my eyes at her.

"So?" I walk into the bathroom.

I quickly get changed into my bikini.

Its better than what she was giving me. A pink bikini? Pink does not look nice on me.

I walk out of the bathroom, and look at her. She's wearing a baby blue bikini, with a white cover up dress on top.

I pick up my long, white  over up, and close the buttons.

"Are you girls ready?" Adrian knocks on the door.

"Two seconds" Serena calls back.

She picks up her beach bag, and hands me mine.

"I put everything in for you" she smiles and I nod

I throw my white flip flops on the floor, and wear them.

I grab my sun hat, and it put it on my head.

"Let's go" I say to Serena and she nods.

We walk out of the room, and Adrian smiles at Serena.

"You look beautiful" he says

"Who? Me?" She asks and he nods

She blushes slightly, nodding, and walking out of the room.

"This girl.." he shakes his head

I entwine our arms together, and walk out of the room.

"When we get back, your dad is going to kill me" he sighs, walking towards the elevator.

I pull him towards the stairs.

"Exercise" he rolls his eyes, as we walk down the stairs.

We come down tho the ground floor, and I open the door walking into the lobby.

I see Gabe, talking on the phone.
He smiles when he sees me,hanging up and walking towards me.

"You ready to go kitten?" He asks and I nod.

He holds my hand, pulling me away from Adrian.

"I'll hold that" he holds my bag.

"Gabe, I can hold it" he nods

"I know" he still holds it in his hand

"Are you going to wear a suit and go to the beach?" I ask

"No. I have my shorts, in my bag" he walks towards Serena and the rest of him. He picks up a bag from the floor, and turns to me.

"Let's go" I nod following him out of the lobby.

The rest of them follow us.

"Did I tell you look beautiful today?" I shrug

"Nope. You didn't" he chuckles as we walk on the pavement.

"You do." I smile

"Thank you" he smiles

"So do you really own this hotel? Don't tell me your a billionaire, always having photo shoots, or interviews?" He smirks at me.

"I won't then" I gasp.

"Are you serious? How did you become this big?" I ask, as we come into a private part of a beach. A guard opens the gate for us, and Gabe walks inside, pulling me with him.

"Well, I promised my mom, that I would buy her a new house, and a nice car. And you have to work for that. So I concentrated in school, and I became the world's youngest eligible billionaire bachelor" I gap at him.

"Wow" I whisper at him.

"This is my own beach. It's for people living in the penthouse only." He explains stand in next to us.

"Last one in the water is a chicken!" Adrian shouts.

I open my cover up and take it off quickly.

All the boys are running towards the water.

Serena's still taking her dress off.

"Shall I hel-" someone picks me up and throws me over their shoulder.

I look at the grey suit.

"Gabe!" I exclaim, as he starts running.

He pulls me forward, picking me up bridal style.

He smirks, and runs towards the water, before Serena. He jumps inside, and I wrap my arms around his neck, closing my eyes, and mouth tightly.

"You can open your eyes now, kitten" he whispers

I open my eyes, and look at him.

His hair is stuck to his eyes, as he smirks at me.

"You won" he whispers

"Gabe. You got yourself wet" I push his hair out of his eyes. I stand up in the water as he smiles.

"I'll go get changed. Just give me a couple of minutes"  he says and I nod

He leans down and kisses my cheek.

"I'll see you in a couple of minutes" he whispers, getting out of the water.

He walks away and out of the beach.

"You are so lucky" Serena whispers swimming towards me.

"Why?" I ask looking at her.

"Why? He can't even take his eyes off you." She says

"Oh" I whisper

"Yeah oh. I swear if I knew he was the same Gabe you talked about, I would have told you. I've seen him on a billion magazines" she sighs dreamily

"I think your parents knew about this. I mean, your dad must have known he was the same Gabe" I frown

"My dad? Yeah. He must have known" I whisper

"Who wants to play chicken fight? Serena's on my team" Ethan wraps his arm around Serena.

He seen a gun in her hands, and automatically he's close to her?
Is he scared, or does he like guns?

"Caitlin can be on my team" Roger swims towards us.

I shrug. As long as I'm not on Ethan's team.

"Let's play. Whoever  loses, have to run naked across the beach" Ethan smirks

"Nope" Serena and I say.

"Fine. We'll go skinny dipping" Ethan smirks

I shake my head.

"Nope"

"Yes. Or else you're a chicken" Roger says

"Fine. I'll be a chicken" I cross my arms.

"Come on Caitlin. Stop being a buzz kill" Serena says

"Serena you won't be getting naked in front of these guys" I say

"We're just going to skinny dip. I'm not going to walk the runway, naked" she rolls her eyes

"No. I'm not doing it" I say

"Buzz kill. Buzz kill. Buzz kill" they start chanting. I frown at them.

"I'm going to go" I mumble

I walk around, then and someone grabs my arm pulling me back.

"Ethan, let go." I say

"Ethan let her go" Serena says, trying to pull his arm away.

"Look Caitlin. Nobody likes a buzz kill. We'll make you a deal. We'll all close our eyes, when you j-" someone holds his arm.

I turn around and look at Gabe behind me.

"If the lady doesn't want to, you don't force her" he punches Ethan. I gasp.

He grabs my hand, pulling me out of water.

He walks towards our stuff, and makes me sit down on a towel.

I notice water droplets falling down from his hair, down his 8 pack. Tattoos?

"Are you okay? He didn't hurt you?" He asks.

I look up at him confused.

"Huh?" Why does he looks so hot? He was cute when he was small. But now? Now he's hot.

"I'll talk, when you stop staring at me." He chuckles

I blush looking at my legs.

He bends down in front of me.

He lifts my chin up and smiles.

"I didn't tell you too look away." He whispers

I blush again.

"That's more like it. Now did he hurt you?" He asks being serious.

I don't like this serious Gabe.

"No." He nods

"Let's just enjoy ourselves okay? Like old times?" He smiles

"So you want me to chase you?" I ask and he gets up and starts running.

"Catch me if you can!" He shouts

I get up running after him.

"I'm faster now" I yell, running faster.

"What the fuck are you? Usain Bolt?" I shout

He stops, and I run into him, making us fall down on the floor.

How cliché can this get?

"I like this position, kitten" he smirks

"And you've become a pervert" I pat his chest, and stand up

"A pervert?" I nod at him

"Yeah. You're more...manly" I say and start walking to my towel. I sit down, and get my sun cream out.

"What do you mean manly?" He asks walking towards me.

He sits down in front of me, as I apply sun cream on my legs. He starts rubbing it on my legs.

"Like this. You wouldn't touch me like this when you were small" I say, as his hands come up to my thighs.

He quickly removes them.

"Do you want me to touch you?" He frowns

"No. You can touch me Gabe" he smirks, placing his hands on my legs again, massaging the cream.

"I would open doors for you, when you were younger. I would hold your bag. I would hold your hand. I don't think anything has changed" he smirks at me.

"I mean this. Look you're smirking" I say and he chuckles

"I have nothing to say there" he says and I nod.

He motions me to turn around. I look at him confused, but turn around.

"Lay down" I smile

"So you're going apply sun cream on me?" I look at him and he nods

I lay down, and place my head to the side, so I can see him.

He applies the cold sun cream on my back, and runs his fingers over my back gently.

This is what I mean. He's more...seductive.

I close my eyes, as he runs his fingers over my back.

"Your neighbour, does he like that cousin of yours?" He asks

I look at him.

"Serena?" He nods

"Yeah. He likes her. Maybe even loves her" I say and he nods

"I can tell. He's pretending to read a book,while staring at her, as she plays in the water with the asshole" he says

I turn my face, to the left, to look at Adrian.

He's laying on a towel far away from us, with an opened book in front of him, while he stares at Serena.

"He's crazy about her" I whisper

We stay quiet, as he lays down next to me, wearing his sunglasses.

"I saw a tattoo on your chest. What does it say?" I ask turning my head to look at him.

He turns around, showing me his tattoo.

It's placed, right under his heart.

"Caitlin" I whisper and he nods

"And this one is Ashton" he smiles, pointing to his hip.

"Ashton? Who's that?" I ask

I know it's not his dad. His dad's name was Paul.

His phone rings.

He picks it up quickly.

"Yes?" I hear a women's voice talking to him.

He chuckles.

"Fine. I'm only staying for 2 weeks. Then I'll come back" he stands up

"I know I said I'll be back today, but I have to stay. Its important..." he chuckles, walking away 

Serena runs towards me. I glare at her.

"I don't want to talk to you" I close my eyes.

She starts laughing.

"I heart Gabe?" She says

I open my eyes, looking at her confused

"What?" She bites her lip to stop laughing.

"It's written on your back. I heart Gabe" she says

I quickly sit up.

"What? That asshole!" I exclaim

I grab my cover up, and wear it quickly.

"I'm going home" I grab my things quickly

I stand up and walk out of the beach.

What the hell?

I shake my head, walking inside the hotel.

How is this going to come off now?

I run up the stairs, and open the door. I walk towards the top floor, and notice a guy stood against the penthouse door.

"Can I help you?"I ask walking closer to him.

"No it's okay. I'm just waiting for someone" I nod as he smiles at me.

"Well can you wait somewhere else?" I open the door with my key.

"You live here? I thought Gabe was living here?" He mumbles.

"You know Gabe?" I look at him.

"Nathan Jackson. His best friend" he puts his hand out.

"Caitlin Parker. His fr-" he freezes

"Caitlin Parker? Thee Caitlin Parker?" He asks following me inside.

"If I had a fight with your girlfriend or sister, then no. That's not me" he chuckles

"I've heard a lot about you" I nod

"I guess from Gabe" he nods as I put the bag down on the couch.

"Yep. He talks a lot about you" I nod

"We really haven't known each other for that long. You could say a month" he frowns

"Really?" He asks

"Yep. When we were kids, I was 4, and he was 5 when we met in school. Them he moved to god knows where. I never asked." He nods

"A month? He talks about you like he's known you for years" he chuckles

"I'm going to go and get changed" I say and he nods walking to the kitchen.

"I'll make us something to eat" I nod walking to my room.

*
"You made us apples?" I ask walking into the kitchen.

"I can't cook" he throws me an apple.

I catch it just as the front door opens, and Gabe walks in.

"Why did you leave kitten?" He walks towards me

"Because" I say, looking away from him.

I had a shower, I tried to take the I heart Gabe off my back, but nothing happened.

"Nathan. What are you doing here?" Gabe asks as I sit on the stool, and  bite the apple.

"Well I came to see you. You had one meeting, which you cancelled, and you haven't come back to Bryton" I frown

He lived in Bryton? That's close to Carrington, maybe two hours away?

"I have priorities" Gabe says looking at me.

I'm his priority? I've met him after 18 years. Things have changed. For the both of us.

"Right. And Ashton?" Nathan says to him

"Ashton is fine. I talked to him. He's good" Nathan nods

"I'm going to go and check up on Smokey" I mumble walking out of the kitchen.

I walk towards my room.

I walk inside, just as he grabs my hand, and spins me around.

"Gabe. What are you doing?" I whisper as he closes the door, and leans me against it.

"Are you upset with me?" He pins my hands, above my head, pressing his body against mine.

"No." I blush

"Yes you are. Tell me kitten. I'll make it better" he whispers

"I heart Gabe? Really? That's child's play" I roll my eyes as he smirks

"Oh. You want to play adultly?" He smirks

"Play what?" I smirk back

"Don't tempt me kitten, I can make you beg for mercy" he whispers leaning closer to me.

"But you can't. Because I won't beg" I whisper back.

"You won't?" He places a kiss on my neck.

"What are you doing Gabe?" I whisper

"Tell me kitten, will you beg for mercy?" I shake my head, as he trails kisses down my neck, sucking on my sweet spot.

"Okay then. I'll see you in the morning" he let's me go and opens the door walking out.

What? He's just going to leave me here, in this state?

Asshole.
You don't mess with a prankster.
