I get back to the hotel and I check the time, it's late. Almost midnight. Time feels like it's going so fast for some odd reason.

I want it to slow down but it keeps going.

I walk into the lobby, I see Kol and he is chatting to the receptionist. I walk past him and I head to the elevator, as I walk in. I press the close door button and a hand comes in stopping it.

It is Kol, his eyes makes contact with mine and he gives me a subtle smile.

"Hi.. Elle right..?" He asks.

I nod.
"Hi".

The door closes and I press the 20th floor button while he presses the 21st floor button, Xiomara's floor.

Reign did say they are on the same floor, interesting coincidence.

I stay quiet as I am focused on my thoughts. Thinking about what my mother said, or what Francesca said.

"So.. how has Xiomara been? Quiet or anything?" He asks.

I keep facing forward.
"Not quiet with me, I am her good friend. But she is fine to me, that's a question you should ask her".

He nods.
"Yeah.. but overall should I be worried or anything?".

I turn slightly to him.
"That's a question for Xiomara".

He looks away.
And I turn back looking forward.

We get to the 20th floor and I get off. I walk away and the door closes. As I get to my door, I hear nothing next door.

I knock on the door and nothing. I check my phone with a message from Xiomara saying she took the kids to the pool.

I smile out of relief, almost got scared. I guess I'll unpack and then join them.

As I go back to my door,I hear walking towards me.

I see Reign walking towards me and he looks stressed out.

He comes close and stops. I turn to him and he immediately kisses me.

I was stunned and surprised but I didn't push him away.

He stops and looks at me.
"I have been thinking non stop about doing that and I couldn't waste another second".

I smile a bit.
"Yeah... I guess we couldn't huh".

He shakes his head.
"We couldn't and I don't want to stop... not even for a moment".

I smile and I wrap my arms around his neck as I tippy toe. I lift myself a bit to match his height and I kiss him. He kisses me back and pulls me closer to his body.

His hands trace my waist and I totally forget everything.

I stop a bit.
"Wait the kids..? They will come up soon and I don't want things to be awkward".
