As the chocolate Carmel sweet spread warm caramel in my mouth. I couldn't help but thing that This has by fare go to be the best thing I have ever tasted. Well, apart from vanilla ice cream with crunched up Oreos but it was close enough. Sitting in the 5* hotel room on the chair in the balcony I couldn't help but feel content, happy even. Having just got off the phone with my mum, who always puts a smile on my face. I couldn't think of anything to make this even better. Suddenly there was a nook on the door, properly room service with my lunch. Having slept all throw the morning by the time I woke up I was alone, and extremely hungry.  
" hi I was wondering if I could get- oh. Elijah!" Shit, oh for pits sake, off all the times he could have come it hade to be the time when I'm wearing my baggy top with a cute teddy bear on which barley covered my bum, scruffy bed head and I haven't even showered!
Great.
" hi" Elijah smirks whilst looking me up and down and his smirk grew just an inch. "Bad timing?"
" yeah" I nervously laughed  and looked down trying to cover my blush.
"Carrie said you would be up by now sorry" he frowns a bit, which somehow made him look cuter
" it's fine I was just about to hit the shower, if you don't mind waiting in the living area or out on the balcony, there's drinks on the table already" I said opening the door so he could pass throw, once he did I got a strong whiff of him. He smells of the outdoors with vanilla and some expensive perfume, whatever he used smelled Devine. I quickly ran out the room. To the quickest shower known to mankind and then came the challenge. What do I wear?
Where is Carrie when you need her!
I decided with black high waisted skinny jeans and a black fluffy cropped jumper for it was quite cold now and tied my wet hair into a tight bun. When I was finally done I took a look at my self in the mirror and decided he would just have to deal with the fresh out the shower me today. When I return I found him sitting outside on the balcony chairs and couldn't help but stare. This boy oozed out confidence and dominance, every move seemed calculated and thought out. His expression blank but appeared to be deep in thought. I wonder what he was doing here?
I sat down in the set opposite his and couldn't help but feel a little intimidated.
"Sorry for the wait" I said breaking the ice and reaching for my glass of water with strawberries in it. Delish.
" no problem, if I had none I would not have come in, only your friend said that you should be awake" he frowned and I could not help but make a mental note to kill Cassie.
"Mmm, its fine,so what brings you here?"
"Well, I was hopping to take you out for a bit" he asked with a slow smile.
"S-Sure let me get my shoes on"
We headed out of the building and into the Black Suv with an old but snarly dressed man waiting with the door open.
"Afternoon Madame" he said with a smile that was professional yet friendly. I smiled back and got in the car. When the car started moving to where ever we were heading there was an awkward silence.
"So we're exactly are we going?" I asked, Trying to fill in the silence.
"We are actually going to visite
La' Blueton museum, ahh were here" he said looking out the window.
The building was surrounded by glass you could see everything that's inside, it was modern and basic.
" the guy that designed the building so that from the outside you could see the beautiful paintings" he informed as we stepped in.
All the paintings were exquisite and had some sort of hidden meaning behind it, but one that caught my eye was the one was the girl that was sat down on the floor holding her teddy and was in complete darkness. I didn't realise that I have been staring at it for a long time till Elijah stood next to me.
"Interesting isn't it?" He said admiring the painting.
"Sad, " I breathed out "it's sad" I replied with a low muffled tone. You could almost feel the girls emotions run throw you every minuet you stared at it.
" the artist likes to paint scenes he has seen or experienced during his life, he came across a girl one day just sitting there and when he asked what was wrong she replied  life hurts a lot more than death, is this not hell?"
I couldn't help but think about my own life and whether or not I was happy. What is happiness? Is it just being able to say you are alive or do you need something to be happy about?
Don't get me wrong I'm happy with my life and everything my mum has done for me and having great friend like cassie. But I always felt as if something was missing, however I was never able to work it out.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Elijah stared at me with such intensity, almost as if he was searching for something.
"Just wondered when we were eating?"
Elijah let out a chuckle " it's fine you can tell me later,come one, let's get you something to eat"
we looked at a few more paintings and then Decided to visite the cafe across the road.
"I'll have coffee,black, no sugar" Elijah stated with out even glancing at the menu.
"Urr.... I'll have an Oreo milkshake with triple chocolate muffin please"
"Coming right up" the women wrote down our orders and left.
" when is the festival?" I asked kindly thanking the waiters when she handed me my order.
"In two days time, we got here quite early" Elijah took a big gulp of his coffee and I couldn't help but stare as his Adam's apple as it went up and down.
" interesting, can't wait" so how do I explain to to them I actually hate rides. Well....
I have never been
What don't look at me like that, you never know what could happen on these rides!
What if a screw came loose and sure!you can sue and get a huge some of money but it won't ever get my
leg back!
I have to come up with a plan before I end up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. 
When I turned to see why Elijah was so quite I saw him staring at me. Almost as if he could see my soul, I might as we have been sat naked.
"What?" I blushed. Damn you cheeks!
He took a moment almost as if he wanted to make sure he got every single detail from this moment before speaking " nothing " was all he said while taking a small sip of his coffee. And that's how it stayed a comfortable and relaxing silence with the occasional smile and chit chatter but overall calming and it's just what I needed.

"thanks for today " I said while inserting the key and opening the door.
" pleasure was all line" he said in a soft deep voice and sent chills down my body.
There must have been something in the air for the next thing I know my mouth Starts functioning on its own
"Would you like to stay for a drink? " I blurted and only smacked my forehead after wards " I I mean just for a drink, not you know, I mean, not that your not.... You know,hot, just im not that type of girl and I just thought you might like a drink to, you know, say thank you? And im blabbering on now so I shall stop"
Elijah chuckles deeply and studies me for a bit before taking a step closer till his chest was pressed against mine and I couldn't help but stop breathing.

"a glass of red wine would be nice" he gave me a full grown Hollywood smile
