"Oh my god," I exclaimed as I saw the large bed in the middle of the room. "We must have picked up the wrong keys," I said as I wondered around the room but there were no other beds. "I'll go and talk to Holly."

Josh didn't reply, instead he put down his suitcase and jumped onto the bed. "This is amazing," he groaned into the cover.

I left the room to go and find Holly. A few doors down I saw Ollie struggling to carry both of their suitcases and Holly's hand luggage. "Need some help," I called out to him.

"Would you mind," he sighed.

I took Holly's hand luggage from him and followed him to their room. "Holly!" I shouted.

"What Anna?" she called back from wherever she was.

"Can Josh and I swap room with you and Ollie?" I begged.

"Why? Do you two want to share our big bed?" she laughed.

"What!" I turned around the corner a saw an even larger bed in the middle of the room. I sighed deeply. "Mine and Josh's room isn't a twin room, it's exactly like yours," I complained.

"So? Why can't one of you sleep on the couch?" she spoke.

"I guess," I moaned walking out their room. I headed back to my room but as I reached the door I forgot to bring the key. So I knocked loudly. "Josh let me in!"

I heard thudding coming from behind the door. For a moment I thought that Josh was having sex but when he opened the door I knew I was wrong. He was topless when he opened the door and he had one hell of a sexy chest, with muscles that were perfectly formed. I couldn't stop staring at him.

"So are you going to come in," he said with a smirk on his face. He knew I was looking at him. Ugh.

I stepped inside the room and headed for the bed. "Shotgun!" I called as I jumped on the bed.

"What?" Josh looked confused.

"Well we can't swap with Holly because there would be no point, so you have to sleep on the couch and I get the bed because I called shotgun."

"That's not fair," Josh whined.

"Oh it is, I got here first."

"Why can't we share, its big enough for the both of us," he pointed out coming closer to the bed where I was sitting.

He sat down next to me not saying a thing. "No," I said.

"Why?" he questioned.

"Because...because we don't like each other."

"So that means that we're less likely to snuggle up to each other while we sleep."

"I still say no," I demanded.

"Fine then, I'll have to force a yes out of you." He leaned over and reached for my waist. I was shocked by this movement so I froze. Then suddenly he started tickling me. I was very sensitive to tickles.

Soon enough I was laughing so hard that tears were coming out of my eyes and by chest hurt. I was laying on my back with Josh above me. I wanted him to stop. "Surrender!" Josh laughed as he kept on tickling me.

"I surrender, we can share the bed," I choked out. He stopped tickling me in that moment. We both stared at each other as we caught our breaths. He was so handsome, I thought as I looked up at him. He suddenly bent down towards me but before anything else happened he pulled away.

"Good," he sighed. He got up and headed towards the bathroom.

I thought back to the way he looked at me when he was above me. I looked as though he was about to kiss me. I'm so glad he didn't.

Later that night we headed out into Vegas. Josh and I had found a minibar in our bedroom and helped ourselves to quite a few drinks so both of us were kind of tipsy, me more so than him. I really I hoped that I could get into the casinos with the fake ID they had given me, I guess it was a good thing that the three people I was with were already over twenty one. God that made me sound young.

We arrived at a casino that had a fairly short queue. Soon enough we found ourselves at the front, the huge bouncer standing by the door had a fierce scowl on his face that terrified me. I really didn't want to get caught. I was really surprised when Josh grabbed my hand as we reached him.

Holly and Ollie showed their IDs first and he let them through. It was then our turn. Slowly I handed out my ID to the bouncer, he quickly looked at it then me before handing it back and letting us inside.

"Well done baby," Josh whispered in my ear as soon as we stepped inside. Somehow we still hadn't let go of each other's hands, I kind of liked the feeling of his hand in mine. None had ever held my hand before.

I glanced down at our hands and liked the way that they fitted together, I notice that Josh had also looked towards our hands. He suddenly let go as though my hands were on fire. For some reason this disappointed me deeply.

"Can you get me a drink?" I asked him, I wanted to drown my thoughts in alcohol.

"Sure," he nodded and headed off to the bar.

I followed Holly and Ollie to one of the poker tables. I didn't want to play but I watched as Ollie sat down and join in on the card game.

Josh came up to me and handed me a pink drink, I took a sip. It was very sweet and I could taste the alcohol in it. I really liked it though. "Thank you," I smiled at him.

Even though I hated Josh I could be polite to him when I had to.

A little while later Holly whispered something into Ollie's ear, he nodded in agreement. "We're going to head back to the hotel," he told us. "You two can stay and have some fun."

"Okay," Josh nodded. "We'll see you later."

They headed out of the casino leaving Josh and I on our own. "Why don't we head back too," I suggested.

"No, we're going to have some fun baby," grinned Josh. I hated him calling me baby, he had called me it so much in the last couple of days.

He surprised me once again by grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the casino. Little did I know what I was in for?
