I looked around the whole place in awe through the front window, the name 'Land Of Your Dreams' written elegantly and placed at the top front of the hotel. This is very catchy, right? I didn't think he was actually serious when he told me we are going to the 'land of your dreams', I thought he was just kidding and we were going to somewhere beautiful and might be proportional to something I might like, but this? This is beyond that. That's smart of him. Good job Carter, you really did impress me.

"Wow, I am very shook... from the very core." that's what I could muster up and say. The beauty plus the suspense that Carter has put me into mixed up to this reality, which literally looks like my imagination, and almost beyond it.

"Yeah?" he chuckles, "I knew you would react to this place in such a way, and trust me, it is worth it."

"My ratings for a hotel would be by their service and food, so we will see." I shrugged and collected my purse, looking around me if I forgot anything. I was about to open my side of the door before he quickly hops out and beat me to it, "Being the gentlemen I am, m'lady?" he winks and kisses my hand, and that, that made me giggle. My flushed face would've been abashing if it was a date, thank God.

Hand by hand, we headed to the entrance of the hotel, everything seeming more and more unpredictable. The bright red and extra clean carpet welcomed us to the golden revolving door, entering the hotel with grace and full confidence, feeling curious and excited for what will happen next.

A hotel guard greeted us and led us to a waiter looking guy, "Welcome to the 'Land Of Your Dreams' hotel." he nodded his head and gave us a warm smile, then silently led us to somewhere around the reception, where a woman, blonde haired and looking like she is at her late thirties, wearing a crispy creamy colored suit is smiling at us from a distance. I looked at Carter with a questioning look, and he replied with a small smile and a one shoulder shrug.

"Hello, Carter! How's it all going? How's your dad? I haven't seen him in a while." the woman speaks to him sweetly. They shake hands and exchange formal smiles, "Nothing changed much, thank you. So," he looks ahead of her, "Is it all good as I told you?" he directly gets to the point.

"Yes, all is ready for your service," her gaze slides to me, "And I believe this is your beautiful date." she smiles cheekily at me.

"Yes, she is my girlfriend," he says and puts his hand around my forearms, encouraging me to speak up. I stood a bit closer to her and held out my hand, "I am Kate Anderson, nice to meet you."

"You too, Kate. I'm Mary Sandhill, the manager of this hotel." she replies, "Well, let's take you two to your table, follow me." she turns swiftly and heads to a hallway, ushering us to follow her.

"How in the world is this happening? This is so cool." I ask him quietly, making sure she is out of hearing range, "This is so mesmerizing and just, breathtaking for me," I said, taking in every design and beautiful art inside the hotel, each and everything compliments the other in a weirdly pretty way, "Everybody knows dad, so it is not that hard, love bunny, and I like this place, why would I waste time finding somewhere else?" he speaks, slightly startling me with his change of tone.

As we walk to this beautiful never-ending hallway, without even knowing its arrival, someone harshly bumped into me, making me fall on the smooth floor.

"Holy fuck, love bunny, are you okay?" Carter comes and crouches beside me, holding my arm and checking up on me, "I'm fine, but what's up with the guy?" I looked at the suited guy whose face is facing the opposite wall, "I'm sorry, Kate, did I hurt you?" he says, turning and giving me his best concerned look. And what in the mother freaking hell is going on?

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Carter growls at him, "What? Can't I rush through the halls to fetch up my date of the night?" he smirks and stands up, holding his hand out for me, "Oh my days, here's a piece of my mind, Troy, you don't bump and throw the person you are walking through as if you are fighting them off." I purposely denied his help and made Carter help me instead.
