Forbidden Love

chapter thirty six

"Here is your key card," Scott said, handing me my card. "You have the room to yourself instead of sharing it with Charlotte and Rachel. Noel might stay with you the night before the wedding though. Traditions and all."

"Thank the heavens," I replied, mentally thanking Noel in my head too. I couldn't survive sharing a room with them.

"And here's your key card," Scott said, handing Tobias a card. "You have to share a room with Julian but he won't be coming until a couple days later."

"With Julian?" He asked, frowning as he took the card.

Scott turned around, picking his bags up from the floor. "I should've asked if you were okay with it beforehand. You don't mind, do you?"

Tobias scratched his head before lifting his duffle bag. "Nah, it's fine."

Scott nodded and walked away to find Noel. I lifted my own purse and walked next to Tobias, our steps falling together in perfect harmony.

"Don't think it'll be awkward to be rooming with him once I break up with him?" I asked, keeping my voice down so nobody could hear.

Tobias shrugged and hit the elevator button a couple of times. "Sure it would be. But I guess I'll just have to stay in your room."

He winked at me as the elevators opened. I cocked an eyebrow and gave him a smirk. "I don't have any problems with that."

He hit the button to the eighth floor, right before he was about to pin me against the wall of the elevator. Somebody shouted "keep it open!" making Tobias groan, his head leaning on my shoulder blade in defeat right before he pulled away to push the door back.

Noel smiled eagerly at Tobias before stepping inside. "Thanks! I forgot my sunglasses in the bathroom, silly me, so I had to go back for them. Scott left without me though, too eager to see our room I guess."

She noticed me in the background and her smile only widened. "Reign! I didn't even see you there! You better have packed a bikini because we're going to the beach in a half a hour!"

The elevator opened again before anyone of us could respond. She enthusiastically got out of the elevator leaving me alone with Tobias, again.

"You guys are totally opposite," he said, shaking his head in shock. "How did you guys become best friends?"

I chuckled a little. "It's a long story. Maybe I'll tell you someday."

I stopped in front of my room and slide the card through the little key card slot. Tobias looked both ways before planting a tender kiss on my lips.

"I'm counting on it."

"I'm not going any deeper than this," I told Tobias, crossing my arms.

I could see his eyes linger on my chest and I pushed him back, making him fall back in the water. He gasped as he got back up from the water. He shook his head, making water sprinkle all over me. His eyes looked determined as he pushed himself out the water.

"I swear to God, if you get my hair wet-"

I couldn't finish my sentence because the next thing I knew I was being picked up, bridal style. Tobias waddled in the water, splashing it everywhere as he walked further into the ocean.

"Tobias! I'm sorry, okay? Don't drop me in the water!" I pleaded, wrapping my arms around his neck tightly.

I was okay with water as long as it wasn't in the deep ocean. The shallow water is my friend while the deep parts are my enemy. I never had good memories at the beach growing up.
