Morgan's POV

We have been exploring this hotel for hours now. It's hot here in Orlando, and I am glad that I know nobody here and feel comfortable enough to wear shorts instead of jeans.

Mia and I have covered every inch of this place, and our last stop is the pool that I know she will want to spend a lot of time in. I swing open the gate and she bolts. Sticking her hand in the water to test the temperature. While keeping an eye on her I take a look around. There are people laying out on chairs getting a tan, people in the pool, groups of people socializing. Mia is definitely the youngest. Most of them ranging between 16 and my age. They are all beautiful. The perfect bodies, tan and bubbly, in their skimpy little bikinis.

I am self conscious and wrap my arms around myself. Keeping my head down, I strut over to Mia.

"Wanna go get your suit on?"

"Yes!"

I nod my head and grab her hand to direct her back to the room.

We hop on the elevator and the ride seems a lot shorter than the first one we took, and there is no Colby.

The door opens and she skips down the hallway singing to herself.

"Come on Morg!" she yells

"Alright, alright, I'm coming." I reply just loud enough for her to hear me from down the hall.

As I am about half way down the hall way I hear a door unlock and swing open. Colby's.

He is wearing swim trunks and a cut off t shirt, showing off his toned arms and half sleeve.

Control yourself Morgan, Mia is 20 feet away from you.

I instantly look down at my feet for what feels like the millionth time today.

"Oh, hey" Colby says, looking directly at me. "Hi Mia" he turns to look at Mia who is on her way back down the hallway to give him a hug.

He grabs her, swinging her around as if she only weighs 5 pounds and settles her on his hip for a hug.

"Are you going to the pool?" Mia asks.

"Uh huh, what are you guys doing on this beautiful afternoon?"

"Going to the pool! I need to change!" she unwraps her legs from around his waist and slides down to the ground, coming for me.

"Can I have the key?" she asks.

I pull it from my back pocket and hand it to her with a "be there in a sec".

She skips back down the hallway and Colby makes his way toward me. I look up just as he stops in front of me.

He smiles and says "See ya down there Morg" walking past me with a brush of our shoulders.

I don't respond, don't look back, and with a cloudy head make my way to our room.

I look back, and he is gone.
