Chapter 8

The update you were all waiting for!! I'm sorry I haven't updated I've had tons of school work :( but here ya go!

When we got near the hotel I was already excited. Harry looked ecstatic also. It was pretty big and I wasn't really sure if I could afford it.

"Miss, welcome to the Bellevue Hotel" Harry says with a smirk and one dimple popping up on his tanned skin.

"I am honored, but I don't know if I can afford this?" I chuckle but feel a redness on my cheeks crawling up. It would be so embarrassing if I walked in and couldn't afford it.

"No worries, Vi,"

"Vi? No one has ever called me that before.."

"Well I'm so-"

"No I like it," I smile. Because I really do, it feels special coming from him.

A big grin takes over his face and he grabs my hand to pull me inside. A fire ignites in me every time he touches me, even a simple nudge.

He goes up to the lady at the desk and whispers something in her ear that I can't quite make out. She looks over at me and nodds, then she hands Harry 2 keys.

"Here you go Violet," he says as he hands me one.

"How much is it?" I grab out my wallet and he laughs.

"No need for that, I got you covered.. I guess it could be a travel buddy gift."

I was about to be difficult about not paying because I can be independent and I really don't like using other people's money but the way he looked, just so happy and accomplished, I just went along with it.

"Follow me." He interrupts my thoughts.

I follow him over to the elevator and conveniently it's already open so we step inside. It was so beautiful on the inside, marble all around and gold tinted railing. The top of the elevator was all mirror.

"Well this is really nice."

"It is, isn't it? I've stayed here countless times."

I nudge him in the shoulder and roll my eyes. "No need to brag, Harry." All he does is return a little chuckle and then the elevator door slides open. A gasp escapes my throat. It was absolutely beautiful. A huge chandelier hung from the hall and marble lined all the walls.

"Okay that was cute,"

I look over at Harry. Cute. He called me cute.

"Oh ehm I mean hilarious, the way you gasped" his cheeks flush.

I blink a few times. "This is absolutely amazing Harry," I state not bringing up what just happened.

"I knew it would be the perfect place."

Before I know it I'm wrapping my arms around his torso bringing him into the biggest hug. I can feel him hesitate but then he comfortably wraps his arms around me and returns the favor.

"Let's get to the rooms, shall we?" He seems so giddy and I love it.

He approaches his door and points right across the hall to mine. "That's yours, got em right across from each other.. You know, if you get scared in the night," he smirks.

"I think it's more because you get scared in the night, am I right?" I lift an eyebrow.

"Just get in your room and stop picking on me!" he jokes.

I slide the key in and open the door. It smells so wonderful, like rosemary, and the bed is so nice and big with a huge window outlooking an amazing view.

"This is so great.. literally the best day of my life," I squeal.

"I'm so glad you like, really I asked for a good view on yours."

It made my heart skip a beat to know that he did such a little thing that made me so happy.

"You're a pretty awesome guy, Harry."

"Pshh, it was no problem. I was happy to do it," he blushes. "Anyways you should get to bed, I wanna show you around a little bit tomorrow so you need lots of rest."

"Okay if you insist."

He started walking to the door but then turned around to face me, "I'm glad you dropped your ticket Vi," then before I could say anything, he closed the door.

***

I woke up to the sound of loud banging on the door. Crap I forgot to set an alarm. "Wait just a second!!" I practically beg. I look down at my phone on the side of my bed to see 50 unread messages. My parents. Most of the text were like:
Where are you?

There will be consequences for your decision.

We didn't raise you to run away from your problems.

This is why we let you have no freedom.

You are going to be successful and do things our way so get back home immediately.

I roll my eyes. I could be in danger right now and all they care about is my job and what they want me to do. I just respond with a simple 'I'm fine' and if they text back anymore today I will just ignore them and their stupid little opinions about my life.

A loud banging interrupts me and I almost forgot about it earlier. I mope up to the door and unlock it. "Come in geesh."

The first thing I see is a bright smile and those emerald eyes. Ahhh those eyes. "Brought you cold coffee to your liking," he winks. I take it nicely and give him a soft smile. I really needed this.

"Something's wrong, I can see it in your eyes," Harry states. Then he looks down and sees my phone in my hand with all the messages popped up from my parents.

"How about, let's not think about that and have some fun today.. You deserve it," he says but I'm still looking down at my phone.

He takes his finger and puts it under my chin to lift my head up for his eyes to meet mine.

"Vi, I can't see you like this its breaking my heart."

"I'm fine Harry, I promise."

"A promise is a strong thing."

"Okay then maybe I don't promise."

"Can I make a promise?"

"Um sure."

"I promise I will never make you feel this way, the way your parents make you feel."
