My favorite girl, what have you been up to? Feel like we have been so busy that I've been neglectful, which wasn't my intent. Tell me all the things you've been up to, and all the amazing places you've been traveling. Heard that a lot of people were just in Cancun. Jealous, so jealous. @gigimf

I'm your favorite girl? You know I love when you say that. Butter me up some more. We've both been busy so I'm not going to let you take the full blame there. Yeah, I've been to Cancun for a little bit. Pit stop in Miami before that for some work with VS and now just back home, chilling. Just the way that I like it. What have you been doing, my love?

I feel like our moms have a lot in common, they should met and I am sure they would get along. And you're right, finding her passions is probably the most important thing. I found my passion at 13 and since then i haven't stopped, and i am sure you found yours at a very young age. I think when kids feel supported in the things they genuinely love, everything else starts falling into place. And yes, the bodybuilding thing is keeping me busy. It's been one of the most physically demanding things I've ever done, but I love being challenged like that. Some days I question my life choices when I'm training, though but i never felt better and stronger than now. it's insane what the body can do. I appreciate you saying that. Honestly, I wouldn't expect you to get involved. Whatever history exists, it is past, and I respect the relationship you have with him completely. What means the most to me is hearing how much trust you've built with him. . That's a huge responsibility and a huge compliment to who he is as a person now and i am glad for him.

Is that something that we want to put ourselves through? They might team up on us and I don't know if I could handle that. My biggest passion was playing volleyball and riding horses - I still do both of those things but not competitively. It would have been fun to go pro in either of those. Also went to college for a hot second for criminal psychology but modelling won out and I haven't looked back. I'm sure that you've found ways to enjoy it, right? I've never really been into intense work outs. More just things to keep me healthy and not to gain muscle, per say. Just a little side effect. Yeah, I trust him completely. And that's not something that I give out easily. I'm not saying that you two have to be best friends or anything but... if we're at the same events and things... maube civil?

Oh my! I know! You should do that and help me stay still for a while because it seems impossible for me to stay home and do nothing. You got yourself the most chaotic and workaholic friend in town, but you love me this way. Think about it—I could be absolutely unbearable if I were unemployed. I've been there once. I didn't keep any friends from those dark times... or at least I don't remember any. Thinking about it, I am a little unbearable anyway but you love me, right? riiiiight? -Okay, sounds good and very fair to spend a few weekends together, there's a lot to catch up and we can finally have that play date for Khai and Jack. Summer is around the corner and I need to keep my kids busy... thank god their father helps me with that. How is Glen? how are you? tell me about the acting thing you were working on. I need details, are you my colleague now? are we starring something together soon?

You're right - I do love you. And that's something that is never going to change. I don't think that you would be unbearable if you took a breather for a second and actually let yourself have time to just be Anne. I know it's scary to let yourself be - it's something that I avoided for the longest time. Just keeping myself going between being a mom and working but over the past few months... I've learnt to let that control go a little. What are we catching up on? Do you have some fun spicy details for me? Did you finally get laid? I think over the summer we're going to spend more time with Glen - if he wants me and Khai there, of course. Not having her in school means there's a little more freedom. You know I would love nothing more than to work with you. What a dream. It was a fun little cameo especially since the character had mentioned in the last episode that he dated a Hadid.... but I wasn't playing myself. Tongue in cheek king of humor?

Glen’s smile softened the second she said she loved him. It always caught him off guard, not because he doubted it, but because hearing it never stopped feeling important. “I love you, too, baby” He leaned over and pressed a lingering kiss against her forehead before reaching for the chilled bottle waiting in the ice bucket beside the table. “Of course I did it for you” he said with a quiet laugh. “Who else am I waking up before sunrise for? Definitely not Miles. He’d tell me to go to hell.” With a practiced twist, the cork popped free, the sound carrying over the waves. He poured them each a glass before setting the bottle aside. “And for the record, I fully support you liking cheesy.”

"Mhm, it was tempting to tell you that." Gigi teased - although she wouldn't say anything like that to him. The blonde appreciated everything that Glen did for her. She had never met a man that took the time to get to know her the way that he did. "It's because I like you - so it means I like cheese." Peeling back each layer of herself was always an exercise in her trust, something she had worked hard on and the blonde wasn’t going to let any outside influences affect her, the whispers and rumors could be whatever people wanted to be, the blonde knew the truth and that was what mattered. Settling into her boyfriend’s side, Gigi looked out over the ocean - enjoying the moment of peace that settled between them. She used to not be good at complete silence - getting too in her head about everything going on. Glen had shown her how to enjoy the quiet moments and to embrace them properly, he was good for her - Gigi knew that. They were growing together and creating a life together, even if it didn’t look ‘normal’ to other people.

Glen let out an offended scoff. "Twelve hours? Twelve?" He shook his head behind her, tightening his hands over her eyes for a second. "Baby, that's way too long. That's cruel, actually. I spend weeks at a time missing you when we're working and now you're out here threatening me with twelve hours because I woke you up before sunrise?" Despite his complaints, the grin on his face was impossible to hide. He leaned down closer to her ear. "Good thing I know you're all talk. Otherwise I'd be seriously reconsidering this whole surprise." He said in a playful, unserious tone.

"Mhm, twelve." Gigi said with a small laugh - she didn't know how serious she would be with the threat - knowing that it would be a punishment would be on her, too. "You're always a busy guy. When Khai finishes school for the year... we'll be able to be where you are more." Usually that thought would terrify Gigi, not knowing where they'd be at any given time, but over the summer it 'd be easier to travel to set wherever Glen would be filming. "You think that I'm all talk, huh?" There was almost a part of her that wanted to prove a point now, it was stubborn streak coming through.

it isn't enough for either of us, promise! we do live on other sides of the country but work brings us to each other's city, doesn't it? i promise you that i am going to make sure to see you and khai! no, absolutely no real tears. i will not let it get to that point!

Sometimes - I don't really remember the last time I was in LA, to be honest. I spend more of my time in New York. I'd love to see Jack, too. I bet he's gotten so big now. How're you feeling with his first birthday coming up quickly?

What was your favorite part of the trip? Did anything exciting happen to you while we were all living it up in Cancun? @gigimf

My boyfriend took me to a sunrise picnic - I would say that's the most exciting thing to happen to me. It was so sweet. What about you?

G! I am back to NYC, I am back to work and I can't help but missing the vacations and I was thinking about you and how much I miss your face and your personality and i am mad at myself because we didn't spend enough time together in cancún. anyway, how was the trip for you? what are you up to these days? not fair to spend weeks or even months without you again. @gigimf

Back to work? Okay, I seriously think that I'm going to have to place you under house arrest or something to make sure that you actually take time off. At least you're closer to me so that's a bonus to me. We can spend some weekends together. It was amazing - relaxing and it's exactly what I needed, honestly. Just helping Khai get through the last couple of weeks of school before summer goes out and then we can spend as much time as we want with Glen.

Glen’s grin widened the second he felt her shift closer, still half-asleep and warm from the sheets. He leaned forward to steal another quick kiss before she could start interrogating him too much, his hand finding hers and giving it a gentle squeeze. “Mm, long enough” he answered vaguely, amusement dancing in his voice. “You ask way too many questions before coffee, y’know that?” He brushed a strand of blonde hair behind her ear, taking a moment to admire the sleepy smile on her face. These were his favorite versions of her. The moments nobody else got to see. Not the supermodel. Not the celebrity. Just Gigi.

The tenderness of Glens touch, Gigi leant in for a moment. "I think that I don't ask enough questions." Gigi said with a small laugh - with the amount of things that she did ask questions about, she wasn't surprised that Khai was also inquisitive. "You know that I would be worse once I've had coffee." The blonde pointed out - watching him move from the bed. Taking Glens hand in hers, the model pulled herself up slowly. "I trust you more than anyone." A smile formed on Gigis lips - she was glad that Glen knew that it was hard for her to trust, but if she didn't trust him, she wouldn't be where she was in this moment. There were people in her life that she trusted - friends and family, they were important but when it came to the romantic side, the actor was the first person she had truly trusted like this before. The side of vulnerability that she hated to show people was something Glen had slowly pulled back - taken the time to get there instead of expecting it straight away.

God, yes. I think women like our mothers carry this very specific kind of elegance with them forever, don’t they? Even outside of the industry. My mother still walks into a room like she owns it without even trying. It used to intimidate me when I was younger, now I just admire it. And honestly? I think you’re right about Khai. Letting her simply be a child feels much healthier than throwing her into all of this too early. There’s enough time for cameras and expectations later. Childhood should stay soft for as long as possible. No, I am not staying in Mexico... i must go back to LA, work is calling me as usual and there are zero complains about it. And No. I am not in love with him anymore. At least not in the way people imagine when they hear stories like this. I think what stayed with me was the damage. The confusion of loving someone deeply while also feeling completely destroyed by them at times. Those things can coexist. I wish him the best and I've had great relationships after him, but it was the way he did things back then. He could've been a better man with me. And maybe you’re right. Maybe I do carry some resentment still. But I think part of it comes from seeing how easy it is for people to rewrite history once enough time passes. Especially men. Suddenly they become “complicated” instead of cruel, “lost” instead of selfish. And for a long time I protected him publicly because I loved him. Probably more than I protected myself. But I’m genuinely glad he’s been good to you and to Khai. I mean that. He seems like he has grown up and became someone much better and new for you and your baby girl.

I think so. I hope that I'm half as elegant as my mom when I'm her age. I'd feel successful if that was the case. With everything that happened in my life - I'd just want her to be as relaxed and as much of a child as she can. Find her passions in school and sport. Sucks that you couldn't stay in Mexico for a little longer. But you're working on that body building movie, right? Such a badass. I don't know your history with Glen... it's not something that we've really discussed before. And I don't think it's something that I should get involved with. Whatever is going on.... it's between the two of you. I know him as the Glen now. He is great for me cause trust is the hardest thing for me to give someone. He's one of the people I trust most in the world, especially since I did introduce him to my daughter. Another adult figure in her life is good for her, I think.

it felt like we were able to say hi and bye at the MET, and that was it! at least we know that we will, for sure, see each other once a year. getting our tan on, a few tropical drinks..perfect! it is something that is rare, but we always have to take advantage. sounds good to me!

Once a year isn't good enough for me, I fear. I know we live on different sides of the country but I'm hoping that we can see each other more than that. Otherwise I'm going to feel super deprived. And there's going to be real tears. You don't want that, do you?
