Late Wednesday:

We talked for the rest of the afternoon and got to know each other better. He is a awesome as portrayed in his interviews and maybe even more so.

"It's getting late, and you must be tired; it's been quite a day. I'll just go grab a blanket and pillow and head to the couch," said Timothee.

"I feel bad; why don't I sleep on the couch instead" I suggested.

"Don't worry about it; sleep tight," he said as he threw his pillow on the couch.

"Thank you, don't let the couch bugs bite you," I said, laughing, and then started to walk upstairs.

"Don't worry; I'll be fine. Don't let the bogeyman take you," he said, laughing.

"I wish," I replied.

As I laid on the bed, silence surrounded me. I looked out the window and could see the moon shining brighter than ever. It was beautiful. I laid there for hours, just looking out the window and taking everything in. I felt sad, nervous, mad, happy, excited, I couldn't process my emotions. I looked over at the clock, and it marked 1:00 am. I assumed Timothee was fast asleep by now and decided to go out on the balcony. I quietly got out of bed and opened the balcony door, trying not to wake up Timothee.

I took in the fresh air and looked at the city in front of me. It was beautifully illuminated with millions of lights and close to silent. It wasn't a chilly night; it was the perfect temperature. As I looked out to the city, I felt a tear fall down my cheek. I was crying, not only because I was sad but because I was thankful to have someone be so kind to me without even knowing me. He trusted me enough to allow me to stay in his hotel room, without knowing my intentions or me truly.

"You alright?" asked Timothee from behind me.

I quickly wiped my tears away and turned around in surprise.

"I'm fine; sorry, did I wake you," I asked.

"No, I couldn't sleep, and I heard you come out here just wanted to check if you were okay," he said, looking me in the eyes.

"Are you crying?" He asked.

"No..........maybe," I said, looking down at my hands.

He walked toward me and hugged me. His embrace was warm and comforting. With my head on his chest, I began to cry again. As he felt me crying, he hugged me tighter and put his chin on my head, pushing me closer to his chest. There was pure silence yet so many words.

"I have an idea; come with me," he said as he grabbed my arm.

"Where are we going?" I said, confused.

"You'll see. I hope you know how to swim," he said, smiling.

Moments later, we were at the hotel's indoor pool. It was huge with lights illuminating it. I was surprised it was still open, and no one was there.

"Come on, let's have a swim," he said as he took his shirt off

"Come on, let's have a swim," he said as he took his shirt off. I tried not to stare and instead looked down. Which made Timothee think I was looking at my lack of swimsuit as he said

"Just wear my shirt; I'll give you a dry one back at the ROooOMm," he shouted while jumping in the water.

I proceeded to pull down my sweatpants and noticed he turned around, which made my heart skip a beat for some reason. I laughed at what I felt and jumped in the water. It was warm, thankfully. Timothee then began to slash water at me, and we ended up having some sort of water fight. We raced around the pool, and I forgot all my worries. I watch how his curly hair flattened and stuck to his face making him shake his head like a dog. His silver chain was hanging around his neck. I was starting to blush, so I quickly got out so he wouldn't notice.

"Hey, where are you going?!?" he said while climbing out of the pool, which made me run.

"Hey, get back here!!!!" he shouted while chasing me. We were doing laps around the pool at this point. All I could think was, "Don't slip, don't slip, don't slip."

All of a sudden, I felt arms wrapping around my waist and water completely devouring me.

"HA GOT YOU," said Timothee wiping the water from his face.

"How dare you throw me into the pool?!?!" I said, laughing and splashing water on him.

"You were running away!! In my defense, I fell with you as well..." he said with a smirk, splashing water back. We laughed. After a while, we got out, and he handed me a towel.

"Feel better?" He asked.

"Yes, way better. I also feel wetter," I said as we both began to laugh. He looked at me with a smirk.

"That's not what I meant,"  I said, laughing

"Mmhm," he said, laughing

We grabbed our clothes and headed back to the room. Once we got to the room, he handed me a hoodie and sweatpants. I got changed in the bathroom while he changed in the room.

"You hungry?" He asked.

"I could really go for a pizza right now," I said.

"Ooh, that sounds good, let's order room service and watch a movie. How does that sound?" He asked.

"Perfect; what movie should I look up," I asked him.

"Any is fine for me," he said, while ordering the pizza on the phone.

"What if we watch Little Women or LadyBird? Have you ever heard of them?" I asked mockingly.

He began to shake his head as he covered his eyes.

While sitting on the bed, I began to browse for a movie.

"What would be good?" I whispered to myself.

"What would you like to drink?" He asked while covering the speaker with his hand.

"Lemonade, please," I responded.

"I'll take two lemonades, please...uhh hhhm....uhh hmm...okay, thank you," he said as he hung up.

"It will be here in five. Did you find something to watch?" he asked.

"No, not sure what genre," I said.

"What about animated movie, like Disney or something? Perhaps Mulan or something," he said.

"Mulan sounds great, actually; the soundtrack is so catchy," I said.

"Tranquil as a forest but on fire within
Once you find your center, you are sure to win
You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot
And you haven't got a clue
Somehow I'll make a man out of you," I began to sing.

"I'm sure you could make a man out of me" he said, looking me straight in the eyes.

Within seconds laughter filled the air, and we concluded the lack of sleep was getting to us. The pizza then arrived, and we both ate while lying on the bed. We watched the movie for the rest of the night until I felt myself slowly drift into sleep. I slowly began to lean on his shoulder and was too tired to move or adjust myself. I assume Timothee was not bothered by me falling asleep on his shoulder since he didn't try to push me away.
