Chapter 15
Tessy’s POV
We vibed to the music, laughing and dancing like no one was watching.
As the beat dropped, I excused myself to grab a yogurt from the fridge.
Gosh, I miss him so much, I guess I hit the jackpot, I never knew he was so rich and Dad never mentioned it. Instead he just wanted me to stay away from him like he was some criminal. I don’t care what is causing their conflict, all I care about is that he treats me like a queen and that is enough for me.
I slipped into my room, phone in hand, I needed to call him. I hesitated, then dialed. It went through and I jumped in excitement, YES!!!!
“Big Daddy,” I cooed, trying to sound sultry.
Anthony’s deep voice sent shivers down my spine.
“Baby Doll, I’m sorry for yesterday. Accept my apology gift.”
My heart skipped a beat. Loving an older man is a big vibe I must say, he knows the right access to a girl’s heart.
“Apology gift?” I teased.
“The package you received earlier,” he hinted.
I blushed, remembering the lavish gifts.
“Thank you, Big Daddy. You’re making it hard to stay mad.”
Anthony chuckled. “That’s the idea.”
Our conversation flowed effortlessly like no time had passed.
But guilt crept in, he is my dad’s best friend, forbidden territory.
I pushed the thought aside, savoring the connection.
“Elizabeth’s here. We’re planning a girls’ trip,” I shared my plan with him.
“Does she know?”
“You don’t have to worry, she is my best friend and always supports me.” I let out a smile and I am certain he was relieved a bit.
“Where to? What’s the plan?” Anthony asked.
“Still deciding. Want to help?” I teased.
“New York City has endless options,” Anthony suggested. “But if you want wild, try Miami.”
Miami? I always wanted to go there as well.
Tempting.
I ended the call and rushed to inform Elizabeth about Miami.”Miami, baby! Let’s get wild!”
We both squealed.
“But let’s party tonight, how about that?”
“Yes, then we go to class in the morning to submit our assignment and get ready to explore Miami tomorrow.”
I returned to my room and informed him about it and he said to me, “I’ll make some calls. Get ready for an unforgettable trip.”
The line went dead, I stared at my phone and kissed him even if he wasn’t there. We got ready to visit the club.

Last night was fun and crazy. Elizabeth and I danced like our lives depended on it.
LIV Nightclub’s pulsating beats, flashing lights, and endless champagne created a dizzying haze.
This morning, reality hit hard, I couldn’t even feel my legs anymore.
“Ugh, Elizabeth, I’m dying,” I groaned, clutching my pounding head.
Elizabeth stirred beside me.
“Water… need water…” she croaked.
We dragged ourselves out of bed, scrambling to get ready for our morning class.
“Why did we do this?” Elizabeth moaned, holding her stomach.
“Let’s ask the mirror on the wall,” I joked.
We stumbled into class, submitting our assignment just in time. Doctor Thompson’s stern gaze made me cringe.”Late night, ladies?”I forced a smile.
“Just… um… studying, Doctor.”
The class flew by in a haze.
As soon as it ended, we rushed back to the hotel room.
“Shower, coffee, and aspirin,” Elizabeth declared.
“Priorities,” I agreed.
We transformed from zombies to somewhat human in record time.
Anthony’s text arrived: “Meet me at the marina at 2 pm. Your yacht awaits.”
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow.”Yacht?”
I shrugged.”Big Daddy’s treat.”
Our main outing was about to begin so we had to return home to get ready.
The sleek black car Anthony sent arrived promptly at 1:45 pm.
“Time to board the yacht!” Elizabeth exclaimed.
We slid into the luxurious vehicle, feeling like celebrities and taking more pictures.
At the marina, the captain greeted us with a warm smile.
“Welcome, ladies! Anthony’s yacht awaits.”
As we stepped onto the majestic vessel, I felt like a queen.
“Where are we headed?” Elizabeth asked the captain.
“Private island getaway, ma’am,” he replied.
Our jaws dropped. No f**king way!!?! A private Island getaway???? This is going to be FUN!!!!!!
“Wow!” we chimed in unison.
The three-hour journey flew by in a haze of laughter, champagne, and sunshine.
Elizabeth pulled me aside, “Tessy, I have to ask… are you planning to tell your dad about Anthony?”
I rolled my eyes and controlled my rage, “Don’t ruin my fun, Liz. I’m happy, and I don’t care about age.”
Elizabeth’s expression turned serious.
“But Tess, he’s your dad’s best friend… it’s complicated.”I shrugged.
“I know. But I’ve never felt this way about anyone, I don’t regret it either and you will never understand.”
Elizabeth took a deep breath.”As long as you’re happy, I support you.”We hugged, sealing our pact.
As the yacht anchored at the private island, our gasps echoed.
“Wow!”
Turquoise waters lapped against pristine white sand.
A secluded villa nestled among palm trees.
“Welcome to paradise,” A lady said to us with a welcoming smile.
We spent the afternoon basking in the island’s breathtaking beauty.
Elizabeth and I sprinted towards the crystal-clear waters, laughing and squealing.
“Photoshoot time!” Elizabeth exclaimed.
We posed, snapped pictures, and recorded videos to capture the moment.
Other yacht passengers joined in, and soon we had an impromptu beach party.
Music blasted from a portable speaker. Strangers became fast friends. We danced, played beach volleyball, and even attempted snorkeling.
The villa’s staff treated us to a sumptuous seafood feast.
As the sun began to set, we settled around a bonfire.
S’mores, stories, and laughter filled the evening air.
Elizabeth turned to me.”Best. Day. Ever.”
I grinned.”Worth the hangover.”
Our newfound friends chimed in with agreement and cheers.
As night descended, the villa transformed into a magical setting. Twinkling lights, soft music, star-filled sky. Elizabeth nudged me.”Look.”
A fireworks display erupted above us.
“Wow!” we shouted.
As the fireworks fizzled out, Elizabeth gazed up at the star-filled sky.
“Midnight swim?” she whispered.
I nodded, already racing towards the water’s edge.
The cool ocean enveloped us, sparkling like diamonds under the moonlight.
We floated, weightless, our laughter echoing through the night.”Freedom!” Elizabeth shouted.
I splashed water on her.”This is living!”
Our midnight swim became an impromptu aquatic dance party. Other beachgoers joined in, creating a joyful chaos.
As we emerged from the water, shivering and giggling.
Elizabeth was already feeling dizzy, we went to the room and she dozed off in seconds, I couldn’t help but laugh.
I suddenly felt lonely, I thought I would be seeing him but it seemed he was not here.
I couldn’t sleep so I slipped out of the villa, craving a midnight stroll. The moonlit beach beckoned. As I walked, the sound of waves soothed my soul.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows.
Anthony!!!!!!! My heart skipped a beat.
His white linen shirt, unbuttoned, revealed his chiseled chest. My pulse raced. He looked… devastatingly handsome.”Hey, Baby Doll,” his deep voice rumbled.
I melted like wax..”Yes, Big Daddy,” I replied, my voice barely above a whisper. Anthony’s eyes sparkled.”I hope you had fun today?”
I nodded, still captivated by his tattoo.
He smiled.”Come with me.”
Anthony led me to a secluded cove. Rose petals scattered the sand, and candles flickered. Soft music floated through the air.
“Designed this just for you,” he whispered.
My heart swelled, Anthony’s lips brushed mine he was so gentle.
We sank into the moment, our bodies entwined.
He f**ked me so hard under the moonlight and I held him so tight feeling every stroke while he was thrusting me.
The next day heading back home Elizabeth was acting strange and I asked why, she said to me, “I saw some men wearing scary masks and dragging a dead body!!”
“HUH??”
