When I woke up Corbin was still there with me. His eyes wide open. I smiled. I grabbed the alarm clock off of the table next to the bed. 9:35 it read. I was about to turn back over when Corbin got on top of me and straddled me. He smiled and we both started laughing. "Look at your bed head!" He chuckled. "Please! Look at yours!" I giggled. He got off of me and offered me a hand. I took it and he pulled me up.
We walked into the bathroom and brushed our hair. "Are you ready?" He asked slinging his arm around my waist. "Yes! Where are you taking me?!" I asked excitedly. "I guess you will have to wait and see." He wiggled his eye brows at me.

About 20 minutes later we arrived in front of a huge hotel. We went in and got our room key. "Where did you get the money to get a room at this huge hotel?!" I asked excitedly. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Emma. I'm not homeless. I'm actually very far off. But. I just wanted to see life through your perspective." He looked down at me. " it's not fun being homeless. It's kinda nerve wracking." All of a sudden Corbin picks me up and carries me into our hotel room.

He throws me on the bed and lays down next to me. " Corbin?" I asked. "What is it Emma?" He whispered. " I've never been with a guy. Ever. I've never had feelings towards a guy. But Mallory. I met her and I think she's beautiful. But my feelings for you are so exhilarating!" I smashed my face into the soft blanket. He smiled up at the ceiling. "I've never been with a girl." I sat up. "Are you serious?" I looked shocked. " Yes. So about the plans I made for us." He rubbed his hands through his hair ruffly. He grabbed a bag from next to the bed. " Here. This is for you." He hands me the bag with a cute Sparkly bow. I smiled. "What is this?!" I asked excitedly. " Just open it silly!" He laughed. I pulled the bow off and opened the bag. I pulled out this beautiful white dress with a teal bow on the hip. I looked up tears in my eyes. He pushed the bag a little closer to me. "Theres more Emma." He said my name so sweetly. I looked in the bag and pulled out a bikini. My breathe caught in my throat. I stumbled off the bed and ran into the bathroom.

I sank to the floor pulling up my shirt showing the scars. I can not let him see these. I touched the scar that went from my hip bone all the way up to my collar bone. I was in a car accident and the seat belt cut through my skin. It never healed the same way. I heard a soft yet concerning voice on the other side of the door. "Emma?" Corbin whispered. "Corbin. I.... My scars.... they won't let me wear a bathing suit like that." I replied softly. He opened the door and knelt down in front of me. "Show me? Show me the scar?" He asked touching the top of my hand. I pulled up my shirt to reveal the long scar. It wasn't like a straight line. It was jagged and ugly. Corbin's breathe caught in his throat. He looked into my eyes.He followed my scar down to wear it ended. Causing me to quiver at his touch.

"Your not who everyone's thinks you are, are you?" He knew something was up. "No. No I'm not Corbin." I said in a shaky voice.
