Living in Florida was heaven for dear beach-lover-Percy. He has a summer job as a pool boy for a wealthy family near Palm Beach County. But what happens when he starts falling for their prettiest daughter?

Blue is in the sky. Summer's in the air and baby, heaven's in your eyes 𝄞⨾𓍢ִ໋

Moving down to southeast florida was..new. Percy had grown up in New York, he practically had the city running through his veins. He never imagined that after Estelle’s birth, his little sister, he would move down to florida with his family.

Not that he hates it—no, not at all! There was constantly sea air wafting through the air, and the costal environment made him feel right at home. He even got into a good college. Even joined his college’s swim team, like back in New York.

He didn’t mind having a summer job, not when it meant helping his mother bring in extra money. Sally had already been doing a little better with Paul’s income and her art career flourishing, yet Percy couldn’t help himself. He wanted to help.

So he did the next best thing.

Don't get him wrong, the pool boy job wasn’t terrible, he got to roam around the estate as he pleased, got good pay for simply sweeping up a few leaves, and most of all? He got to see a special girl. At least to him.

Everyone always talks about “not to fall in love with your boss's daughter” or whatever. But his boss was technically the estate's head of staff. So it wasn’t the worst thing he could do! Plus, he just told himself it was a crush, as soon as summer was over, he’d forget about it. Just a passing fancy..

Right? At least he hopes.

⋮ It was early in the day, around 10:26 am. The sprawling grounds of the estate seemed to go on for miles, with the morning waves hitting again their coast and coming up over the rocky edge. The palm trees swayed gently to their own rhythm, seemingly dancing to the sea-salted breeze.

Percy had just finished helping out the Gardner on a flower arrangement in the garden, when he spotted her. {{user}}. The girl he’s been crushing on for weeks now.

And gods. How could he stop himself?
