My body ached all over when I finally woke up. My eyes slowly opened and a flash of light above me was blinding that I had to shield my eyes with my hand. When my eyes adjusted to the light, I sat up and I could tell I hadn't slept on my bed.

I scratched my head as I slowly took in my surrounding. I had slept in the lounge on the floor. I closed my eyes and murmured to myself. Collins was going to kill me if he found me here.

I slowly stood up and I realised that I had been covered with a blanket when it dropped to the floor. Lee must have found me sleeping and covered me with it. So thoughtful of her. And the guitar laid on the couch.

"Morning, sleepy head," came Collins' voice behind me.

I almost jumped in fright when I turned around. I found Collins sitting at the dining table, drinking a hot cup of coffee and looking at his tablet. He was obviously reading the news online.

"Hey, Collins," I replied as I walked over to him.

"What did we say about working on the song the whole night?" Collins asked, still looking at his tablet.

"'Don't tire yourself out and just go to sleep,'" I said, remembering what Collins had told me last night since I refused to go to sleep when I arrived.

"And you didn't listen to me and you kept on playing your guitar the whole night. Your song sounds incredible, by the way."

"Oh, you were listening?"

"Ya, you kept on playing until I couldn't hear you play anymore. I came to check up on you and you were hugging the guitar like a teddy bear."

"Thanks, Collins." I smiled at him.

"For what?" Collins asked as he looked at me.

"For covering me with a blanket."

Collins looked at me with his eyebrow raised and smiled. "Go take a shower. We need to leave for YG. Yang Hyun-suk also needs to hear the song."

"Okay." I smiled as I nodded.

"Morning, people," said Lee as she came into the lounge. "It feels really weird these guys aren't here. The place is so quiet."

"I know," I said. "I really miss them."

"Me too."

"I don't," said Collins as he sipped some of his coffee.

Lee and I threw Collins angry glances. Collins chuckled to himself.

"Going to take a shower," I said.

"You go do that," said Lee. "I'll order us some breakfast."

After I freshened myself up, I went back to the lounge. I still found Lee and Collins by the dining table. Lee was having her usual toast and eggs for breakfast, and Collins was still on his tablet.

"Are you going to keep on reading the news the whole morning?" I asked as I took a seat at the table.

"Nope. Just looking at messages," Collins replied. "Zoey sent me one. She said she will be coming back late at night with the others."

"Are they having a good time?" I got a slice of bread that laid on the middle of the table and was applying marmalade on it.

"You know Zoey. She doesn't take any opportunity for granted when she is in some glamorous place."

"True." I shrugged as I got another slice of bread.

"She even sent Collins a picture," said Lee. She turned to face Collins as she jerked her head. "Show her."

Collins handed his tablet over to me and I took it. Zoey took a selfie of herself with the other Toxins, G-Dragon and TOP behind her. They were all cheering and raising their hands up in the air. I smiled. Looks like they were really having a great time.

"Is it me or is that the Eiffle Tower behind them?" I asked.

"It sure is," said Lee, raising a cup of coffee to her lips.

I mumbled. I had always wanted to go to Paris and see the Eiffle Tower. These guys were so lucky. Boo hoo for me.

"They should have as much fun as they could possibly can," said Collins as I gave him back the tablet. "They are in for a lovely treat."

"What? Is it about the song?" I looked at Collins.

"No, it's not about the song. They already know they have a lot of work to do with the song when they get back. I'm talking about something else."

I looked at Lee who sat opposite me. I gave her a look that told her to tell me what Collins meant. But she looked at me with a worried expression. That meant she didn't have the slightest clue of what Collins was talking about.

"What are you talking about Collins?" I asked as I poured myself a cup of coffee.

"Oh, you will see," said Collins with a huge grin on his face.

I almost shuddered when Collins smiled. I'd never liked that smile. That only meant Collins had something up his sleeve.

"You can tell us, Collins. I won't tell the others."

"If I tell you, I'll just ruin everything. Just sit back and wait for things to happen. Finish your breakfast. We will be out of this place in a few minutes."

Collins got up from his chair and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. How I wish I knew what he was thinking. Whatever he planned for us seemed rather amusing to him and might turn out bad for some of us.

"What do you know?" I asked Lee, immediately I knew that Collins was in his room. I leaned forward to look at her straight in the eye. I seemed more like a detective asking questions to a criminal.

"I don't know," Lee replied with a shocked look on her face. "I am as surprised as you are. And besides, I wasn't with Collins the whole day of yesterday."

I knew something was up when Collins wasn't around yesterday. I wondered what he and Yang Hyun-suk had planned this time. Collins had a happy look on his face.

"This is not good," I said as I leaned back on my seat.

"I don't think it's that bad," said Lee. "Whatever they have planned, will be okay. Even for you."

"Well, hopefully." I blew out a puff of air and shook my head as I thought of what happened to G-Dragon and I yesterday.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"I think G-Dragon and I aren't on good terms again."

"What? What happened?" Lee looked shocked and then again, confused.

"Things were going so well before things went down the drain when Zoey and TOP came to YG yesterday."

Lee leaned her head backwards and let out a huge murmuring sound. "Don't tell me Zoey ruined everything."

"Well, kind of," I said as I thought of what happened and who to blame. "It's complicated. And to be honest, I don't who to blame. But it wasn't entirely their fault."

"Eat up. You will need all the energy to sing that song. We'll talk about this later."

"Okay."

I was just done eating my breakfast when Collins came to tell us that it was time to go. I carried the guitar and my notebook.

Lee, Collins and I soon left the hotel and we were at YG. To be honest, I felt kind of nervous. I was going to perform the song in front of Collins and Yang Hyun-suk but it felt like I was going on the X Factor auditions just to be judged afterwards. Collins did say the song sounded amazing. I just wondered what Yang Hyun-suk would say.

I was waiting in th recording studio, waiting for Collins and Yang Hyun-suk. I kept telling myself that everything was going to be alright and I shouldn't worry because I had gone through all of this several times. But today, I was edgy and my heart was beating so fast.

I was pacing up and down with agitation written all over my face when the door to the studio opened. I turned to the door and Lee came in with Taeyang and his girlfriend, Hyo-rin. Well, this is a surprise. I never thought I would ever meet Hyo-rin again. Well, not today when I'm about to sing a song and I was so nervous.

"Here she is," said Lee, turning to face Taeyang and Hyo-rin. "I've tried to calm her down but she can't stop pacing up and down like an ant. Maybe she will listen to you, Tae."

I frowned at Lee and I wanted to snap at her but I brushed it off. She hadn't even made an effort to try and calm me down. She had left me all alone. What a friend.

"Hi, Tae," I said and walked over to Hyo-rin and gave her a hug.

"I never thought I would see you again," I said to Hyo-rin with a smile after I hugged her.

"I told Taeyang that I wanted to see you," said Hyo-rin. "Looks like I decided to come and see you at the right time when you're about to sing the song."

"Our manager called me to come to the studio and listen to the song," said Taeyang, answering the puzzled look on my face. "Hyo-rin came to see me and heard my conversation on the phone. That's why she wanted to come and see you."

"Thanks," I said. "Maybe with you guys around I might just calm down a little bit."

"I'll go and check on the managers and see what's taking them so long," said Lee as she started to head out of the room.

I wanted to call out to her and tell her to let it be. I didn't want our managers here just yet. But she had already left.

"So, where are the others?" Hyo-rin asked as she took a seat on the comfortable leather couch and Taeyang followed.

"They left for Paris," I answered. I was still standing with my arms folded.

"Oh, they left with GD," said Taeyang. "He told me last night."

"Ya, these guys are having a ton of fun right now," I said as I looked at my fingers.

"But how come you didn't go with them?" Hyo-rin asked.

"I had the song to finish up. Trust me, it wasn't easy. But I had help before they could leave for Paris."

"Looks like you're always the one stuck here working hard while the others go out and have fun."

"Ya. Looks like it." I smiled slightly.

"You managed to finish the song?" Taeyang asked.

"I did. Want to take a look at the lyrics?"

"Sure."

I gave Taeyang my notebook and with Hyo-rin beside him, they looked at the lyrics together. I couldn't help but smile at the two of them. They looked so cute together.

"I can't wait for you to sing the song for us," said Hyo-rin as she looked at me. "The lyrics sound really good."

"Thanks. I was singing the song while playing the guitar the whole night. I had to make it work on the second verse and since the song is mixed with English and Korean, I just had to make it perfect."

"You can read Korean?" Hyo-rin asked.

"Well...not really," I said shrugging my shoulders. "I had to learn the Korean alphabet and the vowels. And with GD and TOP's help yesterday, I was fine with it."

"Wow. Pretty smart," said Hyo-rin with a smile on her face.

"Sam is totally smart," said Taeyang. "And this song is going to be a huge hit."

I couldn't help but smile at their sweet compliments. That made me forget about my fear. For now.

The door suddenly flew open and Seungri and Daesung came in. Seungri rushed to hug me when he first saw me.

"Hey, I missed you so much," said Seungri.

"Ya, me too," I said as I tried to breathe. Seungri always hugged me so tight.

"Hey, Sam," said Daesung as he came over to hug me.

"Hi," I blushed when we hugged and I smiled like a fool.

"So, when do we hear the song?" Seungri asked, looking so excited.

Before I could reply, a voice came at the door. Yang Hyun-suk's voice.

"Right now."

We all turned towards the door. Yang Hyun-suk, Collins, Lee and one of YG's music producers came in. This was it. I couldn't help but feel my palms get so sweaty.

When everyone got settled onto the couch, I sat facing them sitting on a long stool and holding the guitar. I looked on at the others and all I wanted was to run out of the room.

"We're ready when you're," said Yang Hyun-suk.

I nodded my head and my heart couldn't stop beating so hard. I tried to settle properly with the guitar on my lap, but it felt so heavy like it was the first time when I ever got to play it.

I felt a break of sweat would start to appear on my forehead. I blew out a puff of air and stared at the audience. Daesung gave me an encouraging smile and I slightly smiled back. I relaxed myself for a bit and closed my eyes as I strung the strings on the guitar.

I started to sing as I played the instrument. My fear soon left me as I sang. It was going well so far. Then I came to the second verse where most of the lyrics were in Korean. I thought I would stumble and say something wrong but I didn't. Well, I hope so.

As soon as I was done singing the whole song, I looked up at everyone. I had been trying to avoid their gaze the whole time so that I wouldn't really mess up with the song. I did get a few glances of their faces here and there, but I was staring above their heads the whole time and closing my eyes. I just hoped they liked it.

The studio was still quiet. No one had said a word and I got scared. Wasn't it good enough? Why weren't they saying anything? I looked on at Yang Hyun-suk and he had a grim look on his face. Oh, no.

Yang Hyun-suk cleared his throat. I knew he was going to speak first. Yikes! Not him. I would rather he said what he wanted to say last. I crossed my fingers.

"Well, Sam," started Yang Hyun-suk. "The song is really....."

This was it. The hammer blow to my career. I wanted to close my eyes as I waited for any hurtful word ready to come out of his mouth. I knew it was going to sting.

"....incredible."

I opened my eyes and I couldn't believe that word just came out of his mouth. I looked up at him and he started to clap his hands. The others followed. There was a round of applause in the room and I couldn't help but smile to myself. It was such a relief. I could finally breathe.

"I've to admit, when Collins told me that the song was good, I didn't believe him," said Yang Hyun-suk, as he stood up from the couch. "It's just incredible."

"Thank you," I said as I bowed my head.

"You better start working on it," said Yang Hyun-suk. "Today."

"We sure will," said Taeyang as he came up to me. "That was mind blowing, Sam."

"Thanks," I said as I jumped off the stool. "I hope my Korean was okay."

"Are you kidding me? You sounded amazing," said Seungri.

"I agree," said Hyo-rin. "You sung in Korean like you've known that language your whole life."

I couldn't stop smiling at the others. I kept on receiving praises from the others including Daesung who said that I had such a beautiful golden voice. I blushed and told him that wasn't true. To me, there was a big difference between a good voice and a golden one.

Immediately our managers left with Lee, we went over to join the music producer by the audio engines and the multi track console. Above the console was a huge window that showed the live room where we the artists sing and play any musical instruments.

This was always the hard part of producing a track. Making the melodies and to find the right tune for the song. I still had the tune of the song stuck in my head. But it was going to be difficult to make it sound right now that we had to use auto tunes and electric beats.

An hour had passed and I was already feeling so tired. Making the soundtrack was so hard. And this time, I got so tired so quickly. Must be that I really didn't have enough sleep last night. I was having a whole lot of fun with Daesung, Seungri and Taeyang around. I admired Hyo-rin who sat leisurely on the couch and would come up and join us whenever she felt like it.

"It's been an hour and I already feel so tired," I mumbled as I leaned by head backward as I sat on a chair next to the music producer. "This is so hard."

"Mind if I give you a massage?" Seungri asked as he came to stand behind me.

"No. I wonder what's wrong with you sometimes," I said as I rubbed my neck. "I don't need a massage."

"Trust me, you're so tense," said Seungri as he laid his hands gently on my shoulders. "You've been working too hard. You definitely need a massage."

"No, Seungri." I tried to brush Seungri's hands away but he didn't budge.

"Come on, Sam," said Hyo-rin, looking up from her phone. "Just let him massage you. The maknae always gets what he wants."

"Oh, please." I rolled my eyes. "I never let Daniel do whatever he wants. Why should I let Seungri?"

"Sam's right. And besides, Seungri can't give a proper massage," said Daesung.

"Yes, I do!" Seungri snapped at Daesung.

"No you don't!" Daesung snapped back.

"I'm not going to talk about it," said Seungri as he started to relax my muscles on my shoulders.

"Mmmm." I murmured in pleasure as I smiled and closed my eyes. I could feel my body relax. "You're really good, Seungri. I might just hire you as my personal masseur."

"Thank you. I would definitely be your personal masseur."

I heard Daesung mutter to himself and I smiled. Looks like someone was jealous.

The music producer soon decided to take a break and he left. We made the studio more like our own crib. We sat by the couch chatting and laughing. I was even playing with the guitar and we were singing some random songs together. It was so much fun. Lee came in with our lunch and afterwards we were back to recording the track.

We spent another two hours recording, when Collins came into the room.

"Hey, Collins," I said as I turned to look at him, removing the headphones from my ears.

"I want you guys to do me a favour," said Collins.

"What is it?" Taeyang asked as he also turned around to look at Collins.

"Zoey and the others will be coming later on in the evening, so I want you guys to go and pick them up."

I raised my eyebrow at Collins. "Why don't you do it? I mean, it's never a big deal for you, right?"

"I'm busy, Sam. So I was thinking that you guys should do it. It will be good for you guys to catch up with all that's happened in Paris."

"Let me guess, you're avoiding all the talking and yapping from Zoey." Daesung and Seungri were snickering and I couldn't help but smile.

"You know me so well." Collins smirked. "But also it's because I have some important work to do."

Something told me his important work had something to do with what he talked about this morning. I dared not try to ask because he would brush me off like he always does.

"Don't worry about it," said Daesung. "We will go and pick them up."

"Thanks, guys," said Collins and he left the room.

It was late in the afternoon and I was as tired as hell. I was leaning my head on the console, careful not to mess around with the buttons and all. I had my eyes closed and I could slowly feel myself drifting away to sleep. Taeyang pulled up the headphones from my ears and that made me sit up.

"What did I miss?" I asked, sounding drowsy and rubbing my eyes, when I knew nothing much had happened.

"Nothing. You just dosed off for a few seconds," said Taeyang.

I looked beside him and I realised Daesung and Seungri weren't on their seats. I looked behind and I saw them on the couch with Hyo-rin looking a little tired. The music producer had already left the room and I had taken the liberty of leaning my head on the console.

"I always hate this part of making a music track. As much as I love producing music, it gets me so worked up and tired," I said as I leaned my head back onto the console.

"Ya, I understand you," said Taeyang. "I wonder what time these guys will get back."

"Didn't Collins say at night?" I asked through a muffled tone.

"I wonder what time."

"Wait." I pushed my head upwards and felt like my head was spinning out of control. I was still feeling sleepy and I had to hold my head for a while as though I was drunk and the world around me was spinning.

"Whoa! Are you okay, Sam?" Hyo-rin asked as she came over.

"Ya, I'm fine. Just tired." I pulled out my phone out of my pocket and decided to call Collins.

"You know, if you're tired you shouldn't come with us to the airport," said Daesung. "You look really tired."

"I didn't sleep well last night," I said as I rubbed my eyes. The phone screen was all blurring. "I stayed up all night and slept on the floor."

"Ya, you better not come with us, my little panda," said Seungri. "You need a whole lot of rest."

"You're right." I soon dialled Collins number and asked him what time the plane would actually arrive and that I wouldn't be able to go.

"He said they might come at nine in the evening," I said when I cut the call. I was so sleepy I felt like I couldn't stand up.

"Well, since we are all done here, you can go back to the hotel and rest," said Taeyang. "We will take you."

"Alright. Thanks."

"I'm coming too," said Daesung.

"And so will I," said Seungri.

"Guys, it's fine. Taeyang and Hyo-rin will take me," I said with a small smile on my face as I faced Seungri and Daesung.

Immediately I left the studio with Taeyang and Hyo-rin, Hyo-rin couldn't help but say, "was it just me or Daesung and Seungri were fighting over you?"

"Pfft! Fighting over me? How?" I asked trying my best not to smile through my tired face.

"Well, the time Seungri was massaging you, Daesung was totally jealous," Hyo-rin said. "What do you think, Tae?"

"Well, I think they were just playing around," said Taeyang as we entered the elevator.

Phew! Taeyang hadn't noticed or else he would have agreed with Hyo-rin. But anyway, I was tired and was in no state of talking about who liked me or not.

The next thing I remember was lying on my comfy pillows back at the hotel and my eyes roll back.I covered myself with a blanket and I felt like I was sleeping on clouds, slowly drifting to sleep.

I woke up by the sound of my phone ringing and I squinted after I opened my eyes and closed them again. I murmured as I tried to look for my phone. My arm moved here and there on the bed and I couldn't remember where I had put my phone. I was too lazy to even open my eyes to look for it.

I reached out for the drawer beside the bed and as I fumbled on the surface looking for the phone, I heard someone come in the room and before I could open my eyes, I felt something in the palm of my hand. Was that my phone?

I fully opened my eyes and indeed, the phone was in my hand. I looked up and Lee was the looking down at me.

"How did you know I needed my phone?" I asked.

"I could hear it ringing and I was just passing by your room. Thought you would still be asleep but when I came in you were struggling to find it," Lee answered.

"Thanks," I said as I sat up on the bed. My phone had stopped ringing and I had to wait till I could let my eyes adjust to see who had called.

"I hope this is the last time you ever stay up all night," said Lee. "You looked really tired when you came back."

"You know I will keep on doing it time and again," I said as I looked at my phone. I had two missed calls.

"Never mind. I'll order supper. You must be hungry."

"Thanks. I'll be out in a minute."

Lee left the room and I went on to look at my phone. I had missed calls from Zoey, and this was just 9:30 PM. They must have already landed.

"Hey, Lee," I called out to Lee as I found her watching a Korean drama series holding a bowl of popcorn. "Is Collins around?"

"No," Lee answered, putting popcorn in .

I joined her on the couch and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl. "Did he tell you where he went?"

"No. But I bet it's got to do with what he told us this morning."

"Of course." I rolled my eyes. "I should have known. Are you watching Boys Over Flowers?" I pointed at the TV screen.

"Yes, it is. Your supper is on the table. Go get your plate and come over and sit. This series is so awesome."

I dashed over to the dining table where there was a plate of spaghetti and meatballs. I quickly dashed back to the couch and the two of us watched the series.

It was now 10 PM and Zoey and the others still hadn't arrived. I looked at my phone to see if there were any messages or missed calls but nothing. I wonder where they were right now.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Lee asked as she looked at me. The episode had ended and a commercial came up.

"Nothing. I was wondering why these guys are not back yet."

"Who knows. I just hope they didn't get into any trouble, even on the road." Lee laughed.

"I hope not. After what happened at Caribbean Bay, I don't think they would want to go through something like that again."

"Why? You don't want to help them out again?"

"Nope. I already had my own share of getting those guys out of trouble."

"True."

We soon heard the elevator doors opening and we both got up from the couch to the hallway to see who had arrived.

Two bell boys came out of the elevator first and I was confused until I saw they were bringing in boxes and wrapped packages. Lee and I looked at each other.

"Zoey." We both said at the same time.

There were so many gift boxes and packages from Paris, Lee and I had to help out with the bell boys with bringing everything in. Some of the boxes also had to come into the lounge. I was glad Collins wasn't here yet. He was going to be so pissed.

"Where is Zoey?" I asked one of the bell boys as we put in some boxes in the lounge.

"They are downstairs," he answered.

After we were done putting in the packages, Lee and I followed the bell boys into the elevator heading to the ground floor.

When the doors flew open, I saw the Toxins and BigBang in the lobby all indulged in some conversation. Even Hyo-rin was there. They didn't seem to notice Lee and I until Daniel looked towards the elevator.

"Sam! Lee!" Daniel exclaimed and he ran towards me.

"Hey!" I was surprised when he came to hug me. "You've never come running towards me like this in a while."

"I just missed you," said Daniel. "You too, Lee."

As Daniel hugged Lee, Mike came to hug me. I was even more surprised.

"Guys, you've been away for a day and you're acting like you've been away for months," I said.

"Paris was nice, but not without you, Sam," said Mike.

"Don't tell me Zoey was acting like a control freak," said Lee teasingly.

"Hey," Zoey came over to us. "I tried to be really reasonable this time around. Don't blame me."

"We aren't blaming you for anything, Zoey," I said. "How was Paris?"

Zoey hugged me instead. "I missed you so much, my little kitty!"

I raised an eyebrow. Something was definitely up this time. Christine also came to join in the hug. What did these guys do in Paris for them to behave like this?

"Okay. Enough," I said as I shook off Zoey and Christine away from me. "Can someone please tell me why you're acting like this?"

"Everyone just missed you. That's all," this time it was TOP who answered as he came towards me with his arms outstretched. "Aren't you also going to give me a hug?"

I rolled my eyes at him, feeling rather hilarious that he had asked for a hug. I took a few steps towards him. I couldn't understand why I had a stupid smile on my face when I hugged him.

"I missed you too, TOP," I said after we broke away from each other.

"Wait! You missed TOP but not us?" Zoey asked. "I'm so upset. After buying you all those gifts and you didn't miss me? I thought you were my best friend."

I always loved it when Zoey acted like a jealous best friend. I turned to look at her with a smile and before I could reply, someone else did instead.

"Don't mind her, Zoey. Looks like she only cares about TOP instead of anyone else."

For a moment, that voice sent a chill down my spine and I didn't even want to turn around. I clenched and unclenched my fists. His voice was so full of bitterness it almost sent me into an outrage. I don't know why this time around, I wasn't afraid or scared of what G-Dragon thought of me. I was tired that he was still acting the same way he had left.

I was really confused. I wasn't so clear why he was mad at me. And I hated the fact that I had to think around in circles just to figure out what was wrong with him. This time it wasn't the jealousy he had for TOP. It felt way more personal and it had to do with me.

I had no other choice but to turn around to face him. I made sure that my face didn't reveal how I truly felt. G-Dragon was standing right next to Hyo-rin and Taeyang. I managed to put up a smile before I could say anything.

"Hi, GD. How was Paris?"

By the look on his face, I bet he didn't expect me to greet him. I wasn't going to give him want he wanted. If I had answered by talking back at him, things weren't going to end pretty tonight.

"Paris was okay," G-Dragon answered. "I heard you managed to finish the song and played it to everyone today."

"Ya, I did."

"The song will make you want to dance all day long," said Daesung.

"Ya, it's pretty awesome," said Seungri.

"Can't wait to hear it," said Daniel as he came to stand beside me and nudge me by the shoulder. "You should give us a preview when we go upstairs."

"Anything for you, guys," I said as I pinched my brother's cheek. "That's how much I care about you. Unlike some people who think I don't miss them." I turned to look at Zoey.

"Don't mind her," said Christine. "You just know how she is."

"You guys better go and rest," said Taeyang. "We have a busy day tomorrow."

"Okay, we better go then," said Seungri. "See you guys tomorrow."

After saying bye to each other, we all went our separate ways.

"You know Collins is going to kill you, right? With all those gifts you came with," I said to Zoey and the others as we were all in the elevator going up to our floor.

"Don't worry, we also got a few presents for him too," said Mike.

"And you think bringing him gifts will help?" Lee asked. "You guys are in a lot of trouble."

"This won't be the first time," said Zoey. "I mean, we're always in trouble no matter the cause."

I looked at Zoey and wondered why she would say that. Did they have a little problem in Paris? I hope not.

"We better sort out all the gifts before Collins gets here. You don't want to get on his bad side, like you usually do," I said as we got out of the elevator on our floor.

Sorting out all the packages and gifts took a whole lot of time than I had expected. The gifts in the hall and also in the lounge were just too many. These guys had really bought a lot of stuff.

The boys had brought a handful of video games, including some expensive designer t-shirts and jeans from Chanel. Expensive French cologne for men and watches with expensive designer shoes.

As for Zoey and Christine, well, you know what girls would like to buy if they ever go to Paris. Designer shoes and dresses. Expensive perfumes and Zoey also bought along with her some expens
