Chapter 6

*****

Upon returning to the beach house after our run, we parted ways with Jacob and Zak. I was beyond thrilled when I saw a voice mail from the movers informing me they will be here within the next few hours. I cannot wait to have my car back, along with all of my clothes and shoes.

My lips instantly form a smile when I see a new text message from Kayden.

Kayden:

Goin 2 wrk out 4 about 2 hrs aftr wrk b in Galveston bout 7 countin dwn mins til I have my hands on ur fine ass again! ;)

I perched on the sofa sending a reply.

Me:

Snds good! B n I just went for a jog. Movers b here soon goin out 4 lunch n I wanna chk out gyms find a kickboxing class… mmm hot, sweaty…can’t wait 2 c u xoxo ;)

I pulled my bottom lip in between my teeth as I visualize Kayden working out. The sweat glistening all over his ripped, chiseled body as his long, toned legs strides across the treadmill. His muscular arms bulging while lifting weights. A small pang of jealousy ripples through me, as I imagine women in the gym ogling my boyfriend. I hit send then distract myself with my laptop skimming over my emails. My inbox is filled with messages from friends back in L.A. wondering how things are going in Galveston. I respond quickly to everyone attaching a cute picture of Brooklyn and I sitting by the campfire last night.

Facebook and Twitter had plenty of comments and tweets. We got a tad tipsy last night, and posted a few pictures of us all hanging out by the fire drinking. It will come as no surprised to find them all over the gossip blog sites. For once I won’t mind, I would much prefer to see them everywhere instead of my Logan drama plastered all over the place.

Everyone is still in shock that I’m dating
Kayden Knox
. I, myself, am still in shock; I pinch myself daily to make sure I’m not dreaming. I go to my bookmarks and pull up,
Tinsel Town
blog’swebsite. It’s the hottest blog for everything celebrity and what’s happening in Los Angeles. No shocker there is a ton of articles about Logan, myself, and Kayden.

One story was in relation to Logan being in Houston, “
Logan Sanders flies to Houston! We see a love triangle forming! Will Savannah Livingston pick Logan or Kayden?”
There’s another about Kayden and I. They took the pictures from the Envy party and my twitter account from last night. We were the main feature a big article describing our new blossoming relationship. “
Even with Logan Sanders flying into Texas to try and win Savannah Livingston’s heart back. Kayden and Savannah seem to be still going strong. Check out the photos they tweeted last night. These two lovebirds haven’t let Logan being in town, strain their fresh new relationship.”

Deciding not to drive myself insane reading complete trash all day; I get ready to go into town. I quickly dress in blue jeans, cowgirl boots, tank top and my favorite brown leather jacket. Throwing my hair up into a ponytail then I add a little bit of lip gloss, mascara, shimmer eye shadow and I’m good to go.

While I’m getting a bottle of water from the fridge, I hear a loud knock at the door. Beyond excited when I open the door and I’m greeted by the movers. I love my dad’s car, but I really miss my Audi. I instruct the movers to leave all the boxes in the living room for us to unpack them when we get back.

Brooklyn finally appears from her room wearing leopard peep toe ankle boots, black skinny jeans, hot pink v-neck tee, and black leather jacket. Her hair is styled in a side ponytail full of long wavy curls.

“Ohh, I am soooo excited to finally have all my shoes!” Brooklyn shrieks bursting with excitement tearing open one of the boxes marked
Brooklyn’s Shoe Heaven… FRAGILE! Damage the box and you DIE!
I could not help the laughing fit that took me after reading the big bold sharpie written message on the box.

“Seriously Brooklyn, you put fragile on your shoes? I believe that is only for things made of glass?”

“I know how these movers can be! I’ve watched enough movies in my lifetime to know how careless they are with other peoples belongings. So, I left a nice warning on pretty much every box we have.”

“You.Are.Crazy. Well your shoes arrived in one piece, so are you finally ready to go. I’m starving!”

“Yep, all set!” She grabs her purse off the table as we head out the door. “Are we taking my jeep, or your car?”

“Definitely my car! I have been dying to drive her again!”

We descended the stairs towards my car when a delivery van pulled up at the end of my driveway. It reads
Trudy’s Flowers and Candy’s
on the side. A man jumped out of the van, and walked around to the back of the delivery van.

“Looks like Knox sent you some
more
flowers! Girl you landed the freakin’ jackpot with that one.”

“I bet the florist loves it, especially with this economy.” I say letting out a small laugh.

The guy approached us with a big smile stretched across his face. “Afternoon ladies,” He said handing me a bouquet of pink roses and a tiny white box. It had their shops logo printed on it in gold with a red bow tied on top.

“Hello.” Brooklyn and I say simultaneously. Signing for the delivery, I thank the delivery guy, giving him a generous tip. I ran back up to the house putting my flowers in water. While Brooklyn sat in the car blaring Taylor Swift’s
Red.
I opened the box to find a variety of chocolate covered strawberries. I set them in the fridge to keep them fresh, and retrieved the card tucked in the flowers.

To My Sweet Savannah,

It’s hard to believe that just one week ago, the most amazing woman on the planet gave me the best night of my life. You Savannah have brought me so much happiness in such a short amount of time. I hope you have a wonderful day. I cannot wait to see you tonight.

~Kayden

I set the card on the kitchen counter beside the vase of roses. Pulling out my cell phone I snap a picture of myself beside the pink roses. Typing in a quick thank you I send the picture to Kayden. Hoping it will put a smile on his face to match the one on mine right now.

Brooklyn and I decided to have lunch at the Tiki Bar which is located at
The Spot
in Galveston. It overlooks the ocean and it has a fun tropical look and feel to the place; with a grass hut style roof and a tiki hut style bar inside. We took seating outside on the deck to eat since the sun is warm, and there is a gentle breeze blowing.

We spent the next two hours drinking pina colada’s from cut coconuts with little umbrellas in them. It feels great to just sit and relax with Brooklyn and chat about nothing and everything. Things have been so hectic lately we rarely have any free time to spend together just her and I.

After lunch we headed out to look at a few different kickboxing classes. I found one that isn’t too far from our beach house. They have classes three times a week. The staff is really nice, and everything in the gym is top of the line. I signed up and was excited to learn I get a personal trainer for my first three sessions for free. I cannot wait to get back in the gym, and kick the shit out of something picturing its Logan’s face.

It was almost five by the time we pull into the driveway. Jacob and Zak are on the beach playing volleyball. It reminded me that I still have to ask Kayden if he is up for a bar crawl tonight down at the
Sea Wall
. There are a bunch of bars along the water and Pleasure Pier. Brooklyn and I spent almost every night down at the pier when we were in Galveston a few summers back.

I figure we can have dinner at the pier, go on some of the rides, and then hit the bars. So we can let loose and have fun before Brooklyn has to fly back to Vancouver. Plus she is itching to find a guy to show her a good time.

I pull out my cell and send a text to Kayden. I hope he sees it since he is suppose to be working out right now. “I just text Kayden to see if he is up for going to the pier tonight and doing a bar crawl with Zak and Jacob.”

“Oh, awesome! I hope he says yes, because I’m in desperate need of some fun. I am going to be stuck on set all week, too busy to even think about having fun!”

“Why don’t we change, and see if Jacob and Zak are up for us joining in on their game. It will help pass the time until Kayden gets done at the gym.”

“Sounds good, I will go get changed and meet you down at the beach.”

I ripped open one of the boxes labeled
Savannah’s workout clothes.
Thank God Brooklyn is OCD with packing. She has everything labeled and organized separately; making it easy to locate everything, rather than having to tear through every box. I dig out a pair of yoga pants, a Victoria Secret Pink tank top, and hoodie. I dress quickly and slip on my flip flops, adjusted my ponytail, and I’m ready to whoop some ass.

I grabbed a bottle of water and head down to the beach. Brooklyn is already down smacking the volleyball over the net to Zak. My phone starts blasting
Ginuwine’s Pony
. Kayden’s ringtone he programmed into my phone last night, of course he was tipsy when he picked that song. I can’t help but smile as a picture of him pops up on my screen; smiling up at me, holding his bottle of Corona sitting by the fire pit.

“Hey! I thought you would be busy pumping iron.” I say into the phone, as I sprint down the stairs.

“Hey Baby, I stopped to get a drink and saw your text. I thought I would give you a call rather than text you back. I loved the picture by the way.” His voice husky and so damn sexy I love it when he says baby with that Southern drawl it gives me butterflies, and blankets my body in goosebumps.

“Thank you for the flowers and strawberries. I was surprised when the delivery guy came with them. You are spoiling me Knox; I cannot wait for you to feed me the chocolate covered strawberries tonight.”

Kayden let out a low growl into the phone. “Damn it baby, you’re making me hard. I still have over an hour of working out to do.”

I couldn’t help but blush. Sucking my bottom lip into my mouth, clamping it down between my teeth, I let out a small moan. “Well then you better work out as fast as humanly possible, because I am ready for round three.”

“Well then I better get off this phone. I’ve been dying to have you beneath me screaming my name again, since I left the house this morning.”

“I will be ready and waiting. Brooklyn and I are going to play volleyball with Jacob and Zak until you get here. So are you down for going out tonight with them?”

“Yeah, sounds like fun. I will text Braxton and see if he and his girlfriend would like to join us. I can rent a limo for the night to drive us around. I better go, so I can get finished up. See you soon baby.”

*****

I forgot how fun it was playing volleyball. Brooklyn and I teamed up against Zak and Jacob. We beat them six to five, Brooklyn having no shame did the cha-cha celebrating our win. She is acting like we just won the Super Bowl for God’s sake. She is extremely competitive, has been our entire life. She played every sport you could possibly play in high school, and dominated in all of them.

Zak brought down a cooler full of beers for everyone to drink while we played. I am still working on my first one, since I am not a big fan of beer. Brooklyn on the other hand will drink pretty much anything. She is on her third Budweiser and looks to have a good buzz going on.

It was almost seven, so we all head back to our houses to get ready to go out. “I cannot believe Knox is getting us a limo to go in, this is going to be soooo much fun!” Brooklyn said her voice full of excitement.

“It will be nice to finally meet Mya, Braxton’s girlfriend, if they decide to come out with us tonight.”

“I just hope she is not one of those snotty football wives you see all the time, that let the fame and money go to their head. If so that will definitely ruin my night.”

“Kayden said she is really nice, and a lot of fun. So we will see. I can’t picture someone as funny as Braxton being with anyone obnoxious.”

I slip into my favorite tight blue jeans; they have flap pockets on the back covered in rhinestone crosses and flare out at my ankles. I pair it with a cute spaghetti strap flowing black tank top with rhinestone detailing at the top, and a black leather jacket. To finish my outfit I put on my favorite light brown cowgirl boots and a few chunky rings and bangles. I have my hair all curled and went with smoky eyes and light pink lip gloss. A few sprays of my favorite coconut and tropical flowers scented perfume and I am ready to get this party started.

Brooklyn is in the kitchen with Jacob and Zak doing shots. “Don’t get to drunk before we go Brooklyn, the last thing we need is you barfing on the Ferris wheel!” I say climbing onto a barstool at the kitchen island.

Zak almost spits his shot straight across the room, letting out a deep laugh. “I know who I’m
not
sitting with, or anywhere near tonight, when we go on rides at the pier.” He joked.

“Don’t be ridiculous Savannah. I will be perfectly fine.” Brooklyn says tossing back another shot.

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Shaking my head at her, I toss back a shot of whiskey Jacob placed in my hands.

Pouring everyone another shot Zak yells; “Let’s make a toast to new friends and to a wild ass night!” Simultaneously we all shout “CHEERS!” and toss back our shots. I hear the rumble of Kayden’s truck pulling in. “Oh my God! Kayden’s finally here!” I excitably shout jumping down from the bar stool.

“Hey!” Brooklyn yells at me as I am running for the door. “NO FUCKING until
after
we go out! I am ready to get the hell outta here. I don’t want to sit around twiddling my thumbs waiting for you to finish fucking like damn rabbits.”

I turned around, roll my eyes, and flipped her the bird before hurrying out the door onto the deck. Kayden is just rounding the corner at the top of the stairs. As our eyes meet my heart beat accelerates and my breath caught becoming as uncontrollable as my heartbeat. He looks so freaking divine and did I mention hot in his tight black t-shirt, faded worn blue jeans, cowboy boots, and black cowboy hat. Kayden is the only man that has ever made my stomach quiver with just one look, the energy and sexual magnetism between us is beyond anything I have ever known or experienced.
