Do Me a Favour - Alex Turner

46. First Day

The first rays of sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. I stretched, feeling a mix of excitement and bittersweet anticipation for the day ahead. It was my first real day in Vegas, and I was determined to make the most of it.

Quietly, I slipped out of bed, careful not to wake Alex. I wanted to surprise him with breakfast in bed, so I grabbed the room service menu and placed an order. While waiting, I took a quick shower and got dressed. I chose the red dress I'd bought during the tour, pairing it with Alex's leather jacket. It was a perfect blend of chic and edgy, and I felt confident wearing it.

I was finishing up my makeup when I heard a soft knock on the door. The breakfast had arrived. I quickly set up the tray with scrambled eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee on the small table by the window. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the room.

"Perfect," I whispered to myself, satisfied with the setup.

I turned to wake Alex but found him already stirring. He opened his eyes, blinking a few times before a sleepy smile spread across his face. His gaze traveled from my face down to my dress, and his smile widened.

"Wow, Lana," he said, his voice still husky with sleep. "You look really hot."

A blush crept up my cheeks, and I chuckled softly. "Thanks, but come on, I got us breakfast."

He reached out and grabbed my hand, pulling me back onto the bed. "Breakfast can wait. I need to properly appreciate this view first."

I laughed as he pulled me down next to him, wrapping his arms around me. "You're ridiculous," I said, though I didn't mind one bit.

"Ridiculously lucky," he murmured, planting a kiss on my lips. "And don't think I didn't notice you're wearing my jacket."

I smiled against his lips. "I thought it looked better on me."

He chuckled, his hands sliding down my back. "It does. But I still want it back at some point."

We spent a few more minutes in bed, exchanging lazy kisses and playful banter. It felt like we were in our own little world, and I cherished every second of it.

Finally, I managed to pull away. "Okay, seriously, we should eat before the food gets cold."

"Fine, fine," Alex conceded, sitting up. "But only because I'm starving."

We moved to the little table, enjoying the breakfast I'd ordered. The conversation flowed easily as we discussed our plans for the day. There was so much to see and do in Vegas, and I wanted to make sure we made the most of it.

After breakfast, we finished getting ready. Alex took a quick shower and dressed in his usual rockstar attire, looking effortlessly cool. I checked my reflection one last time, smoothing down my dress and adjusting the jacket.

"You ready?" Alex asked, slipping his arm around my waist.

"More than ready," I replied, feeling a mix of excitement and determination. "Let's make today count."

We met everyone downstairs, the lobby abuzz with excitement as we gathered for our day of exploration. The sun was high, casting a golden glow over the streets of Las Vegas. Tonight, the band would be playing at a venue in the city, but for now, we had the day to ourselves to take in the sights and indulge in a bit of shopping.

"Alright, everyone ready?" Alex asked, his arm draped around my shoulder.

"Absolutely!" Breanna said, practically bouncing on her feet. "I can't wait to hit some stores."

"And maybe find a few hidden gems," Kelly added with a wink.

"Let's go, then," Matt said, leading the way out of the hotel.
