My ringer went off, shaking me awake as the blaring tune went off right in my ear. I groaned tiredly and stretched, ruffling the cold white bed covers in my wake. It had been difficult to fall asleep after Bills' confession and because of the thousands of thoughts that had occupied my mind that night.

I unlocked my phone and squinted in pain as the overwhelming light attacked my eyes. When they finally adjusted and I could see my screen clearly, I was surprised to see that I had gotten a text from Louis.

"Did you get to the hotel safely?" It read.

"Yeah. It took us a bit to find the hotel, but we made it." I replied.

"I see. I expect no funny business. Nobody better step foot in your hotel room."  I read his text in his stern tone,  picturing his furrowed brows clearly in my mind.

"Gee. What do you take me for? A common whore?" I joked.

"Of course not. When you get back, I wish to speak to you. I require your assistance with something regarding the festival."

"You better not put me on the dance or actors team last minute again!" I replied. 

"You read my mind."

I huffed in annoyance at his response, I hoped he was just joking, but then realized it's Louis and he's such a hard-ass he probably doesn't even know what a joke is.

"Thanks for checking in Bambi."

I set my phone back down on the nightstand and rolled back over on my side. Just as I had finally gotten myself comfortable, four quiet knocks came from the other side of my hotel door.

I groaned and got out of bed. I was in nothing but a short black satin nightgown that I had packed with me from home before the move to Cherryton. Having nothing to cover myself up with and assuming it was probably just the dorm matron making sure I was in my room, I decided to just forget it and crept over softly to open the door.

Bill started. "I know it's late but-"

My face contorted into a look of embarrassment and horror as Bill stood in front of me. I could feel my entire body and face heating up under his gaze. 

"You know, if you wanted to seduce me you didn't have to do all that. Not that I mind." Bill winked, leaning his large body up against the door frame flirtatiously.

I rolled my eyes. "You couldn't handle all this anyways."

Bill did a terrible job of hiding how flustered he was becoming. His body shifted slightly and his words did so just as well.  "Maybe," he said coyly. "Anyways, I came here to tell you to get dressed, we're sneaking out. Since it was only a one-day trip into the city I thought we could make the most of the night too."

"But what about curfew?" I asked.

"Eh. Forget that. Get ready. I'll wait out here for you, make sure you're quiet."

"So where are we going?" I asked curiously as we made our way down the block away from the Hotel.

"You'll see. I have a fun night planned out for the two of us. Consider this our first date!" Bill smiled proudly. I wondered to myself how someone could be so brutish and yet so charming at the same time. The more I had gotten to know and be around Bill, the more I've come to learn that he's been hiding what he truly is from everyone. Part of me felt special to get to see this side of him, while the other half of me felt as though the rest of the world was missing out.
