A/N: OKAY IM NOT DEAD! I just haven't had time to write but since summer is here, guess who will be writing a lot more?! Thats right! You guys are loving this story so it thought I might update it!


Mary squinted her eyes in an attempt to cancel out the brightness of the sun. Maybe sitting right where the sun would hit her wasn't the brightest of ideas. HA! Brightest...like the sun...get the pun? Mary smiled at her own silliness.

"Oooh," Kenna came back from the restroom. Her friends had decided that after the terrible night at the party, they would just spend the day after hanging out. Of course, they all had to go to a "lunch" date. Not sure you can call yogurt lunch though. But it was their favorite place to just hang out and talk. Yogurt Zone was probably the closest thing to heaven for them.

Mary scooped up a spoonful of yogurt from her bowl and stuffed it in her mouth. "What?" she said with a mouth full of yogurt.

"Why are you so smiley?" Kenna's voice was very playful. Mary giggled. "Oh, its nothing, really."

"Really?" Greer joined the conversation.

"Well, I think I might have a guess," Lola also had a playful tone to her voice. Mary furrowed her eyebrows. They can read my mind now or?

"Yeah, its so obvious, Mary!" Alyee apparently could also read her mind. Something told Mary they weren't talking about her stupid puns.

"Okay, what are you guys talking about?" Mary finally asked.

"The guy from the dance!" They all exclaimed in unison.

"Or guys...or guy. Either or both. Still don't know." Kenna added.

"What?!" Kenna's last comment confused Mary even more.

"Well, there was two wasn't there. The blond one and...i don't know the other's hair color the one-" Kenna was suddenly interrupted.

"The one with the pretty eyes." Mary didn't realize she had even said it. She was just thinking of the man with the mask who actually helped her. She felt something in her chest every time she thought of him. She couldn't explain the feeling. But then she also remembered the blond guy and his beautiful locks. He also made her feel something but it wasn't quite the same feeling. It was like-

"Mary!" Greer brought her back from her clouded mind. "Were you thinking of him?" Greer grinned as Mary rolled her eyes. "She was! OMG! That is so cute!" Greer exclaimed. Mary sighed.

"Guys!" Mary didn't have time to talk about nonsense. "I wasn't even thinking of any guy! Right now I need to think about going to Cali and leaving New York...for half a year. I don't know about you guys but thats pretty long to me."

"We're coming along," Alyee attempted to make her feel better.

"Only for three months in the summer! So for the first three months my friends, nor my own mom, will be there with me! Ill be with complete strangers by myself."

"Look your mom really trusts those people, and before you know it, those first three months will fly by. I promise." Lola reassured her.


Francis knocked on Olivia's apartment door. It had felt so long after not seeing her for just a few days. The door swung open and her pretty face greeted him. She smiled once she layed eyes on him.

"Francis!" She surprised him with a hug. He immediately wrapped his arms around her waist.

"I've missed you," Olivia mumbled into his shirt.

He pulled back but kept his hands on her. "Me too," he quickly leaned in to kiss her. The kiss was automatically passionate. While still kissing, they made their way into the apartment and shut the door. He pushed her against the nearest wall and began tracing kisses on her neck as he took off her jacket. His mouth met hers again and his hands flew down to unbutton her jeans. Their clothes came off quickly and found their way to the ground. He still had her pinned against the wall as he kissed her chest and made his way back to her mouth. He could feel how wet she was and he was sure she could feel his erection against her. Her hands were tugging at his hair as she moaned in pleasure. He rested his hands on her thighs and she jumped and wrapped them around his waist. He smiled against her lips. He carried her that way towards the couch. He laid her down and got on top of her. Francis gave her a quick kiss before he made his trail of kisses from her neck all the way down to her belly. She moaned his name as he moaned hers.


"Hey, mom! Im back!" Mary yelled as she shut the front door. She tossed the keys onto a table and walked into the living room where her mom was.

"Hey, honey!" Her mom set down the magazine and stood up. "Did you have fun?"

"Yup," Part of it was true. When she wasn't lost in her own worries and thoughts, yeah, she had fun.

Her mom walked over to her and put Mary's hands in hers.

"We need to talk, honey," She said with wide eyes. Mary's heart skipped a beat. She thought all of the shocking news were over.

"What is it?" She said with a worried voice.

"Come on lets sit down." They sat down in the couch. "I told you that the friends that will be taking us in have a company, right?"

"Right." Mary reassured her.

"Well, they have a beauty company and they need a model. Guess who they want to offer it to?"

Mary couldn't help but laugh. "Not me! I hope."

Her mom gave her a weird look. "Why is that?"

"I know nothing about modeling! I barely know how to walk without tripping over nothing!"

"They'll train you! They really need and want you. The job will pay very well. If you take it, you leave in about five days."

"What?! In that case, no. Its too sudden."

"Honey, theyre offering you this, because they want you to have a job over there. They don't want to pay everything for you and I'm pretty sure you don't want that either." Marie knew how much her daughter hated when other people spent on her.

"Well, can't they just wait three more weeks?"

"No. The project needs to start as soon as possible. I think you should try it. If you don't like it, you can quit later and find another job. Okay?"

Mary looked at down at her hands as she tried to come to a conclusion. Marie looked at her with intense hoping her daughter's next words would be-

"Fine!" Mary exclaimed.

"Really?" Her mom jumped in excitement.

"Yes..." Mary said not so excitedly.

"You made the right choice!"

"Well, now i need to ask you a favor." Mary added.

"What is it?"

"I have a short amount of time to learn as much as I can about this family. I mean...I don't want to show up knowing absolutely nothing about them, so can you tell me about them? Show me pictures and stuff?"


Francis entered his huge home. Her mom was in the living room.

"Hey, mom" He greeted her and went to kiss her on the cheek.

"Good afternoon, Francis." She returned the greeting but it was cold. "Did you have fun with your friends?"

"Ummm, yeah," Francis pursed his lips.

"Really? Why do you smell like cheap women perfume?" Catherine glared at him.

Francis gulped.

"You were with Olivia weren't you?" Catherine gave him a look of disgust.

"So what?!" Francis talked back.

"So I forbid you from ever seeing her again!"

"I love her! And she loves me!"

"Oh, she doesn't love you, Francis! She loves your money! Thats all she wants!"

"Do NOT disrespect her that way!" Francis's voice was deep and threatening.

"Why can't you just open you eyes! And see the truth as it is!"

Francis ran his hands through his hair. "Im tired of fighting with you about this." He turned his back on her and made his way upstairs.

"Francis, do not leave me talking alone! Francis! You better not behave like this when the guests come over!"

Francis rolled his eyes and made his way to his room. It was amazing how his mother could change his mood so quick. A few moments ago he was floating in cloud nine. Now it just feels like hell all over again, but he wasn't going to stop seeing Olivia. No matter what Catherine says or does.


"So those are their little boys. Now on to their older sons." Her mom was on Catherine's Facebook showing and naming all of the members in her family. Henry gave her the chills and so did Catherine, but especially Henry. "Here is one of them."

Mary's eyes widened when she saw the boy in the picture. She felt her heart rate speed up. It was the blond guy from the ball. He was their son? She was going to be living with him for six months?!

"His name is Francis. He's eighteen and about to turn nineteen." Her mom turned to look at her. "Isn't he handsome?" Mary blushed at the question. "What about the other son?" She dodged the question.

"Oh," Mary turned her attention back to the computer. "He is not Catherine's son. Henry had several affairs, but Catherine was kind enough to take him into their home and treat him like a child."

"Well, then why doesn't she have any pictures of him?"

"I don't know," Marie shrugged as if he wasnt of importance. "His name is Sebastian. I think he's twenty."

"Oh. Okay. Thanks, mom," Mary replied.

"You're welcome. You should start seeing what you're going to pack." Mary nodded and made her way to her room. Once Mary left, Marie quickly made her way towards the phone. She quickly dialed a number and waited for an answer.

"Hello?" Catherine answered.

"Catherine," Marie quickly glanced around to make sure Mary wasn't listening. "I convinced her to leave early as you said."

"Good! Our time is running short! I swear, Francis gets more and more serious about Olivia every second."

"Well, believe me, Mary will make Francis forget there was even an Olivia to begin with."
