I woke up. It was still dark outside. I checked the time on the watch kept on the side table. 3:45 am. I sat upright staring in the dark. The trip - preparation, meeting besties, visit to London, Madrid, Vegas and the few days in Miami replayed in my mind. I smiled remembering the fun we had earlier and of course the special place Rico had taken us. I remembered the calls I  had got earlier and the email I got yesterday. I was tensed. I was worried it would harm Anna and Enrique for no reason. They are innocent. Who is it? Why does he want from me? If he has any problem with me, he should deal with me. Why is he trying to harm people around me?

I shook my head trying to get rid of the weird thoughts. My stomach growled. It made the loud noise. I went downstairs to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and peeked in to search for something that I could eat. There were cups of yoghurt of various flavors, some soup, cheese spread and jam, a carton of eggs and milk. I got the carton of milk out and poured it in a glass. I kept it back into the fridge and stood there for a moment. I took my glass and sat by the pool side.

It was dark and quiet all around. The only noise I could hear was of the sea. I sipped my glass of milk occasionally and thought about random things. Just then Grammy came over to my side. He was about to bark but then I hushed him. I sniffed my hand and toes. I moved my hand over his head. I guess he liked it. He moved from one side to the other. For some time I sat on the edge of the pool my legs dipped in water. I strolled along the edge of the pool for some time and then sat on the chair.

I woke up when I heard Grammy and Jack barking. I stretched myself and saw Enrique standing next to me. My hands were still in the air. I had turned into a mannequin for a moment. I put my hands down feeling embarrassed. Enrique was smiled at me.

"Good morning!"

"Morning!"

"When did you come down here?"

I yawned and said, "Early morning. Almost mid night."

"What?"

"I woke up at 3:45 in the morning. I was hungry so I came down. I had a glass of milk and sat here playing with Grammy for some time. I don't know when I fell asleep."

"Okay."

I picked up my glass and went inside. I saw Anna coming out of her room. I said, "Good morning, Anna!"

She was amazed to see me coming in. "Hey, good morning! You were near the pool? I thought you are sleeping upstairs."

"Yeah. I was. I came down around 4 am. I was hungry. I spent some time by the pool side and didn't realize when I slept."

"Oh. How you feeling now? Better?"

"Oh yeah much better." I smiled.

Maria was preparing breakfast for us. She made some eggs and toast. We had breakfast together.

I asked, "Um.... While I was in Madrid, we had visited this place. It is in the outskirts of the city. It was a bungalow with pix of you, Enrique. Right from your childhood until now."

Enrique said, "Yeah I had heard about it. But I wasn't serious about it. I thought it must be some kind of joke."

"Oh. It was lovely. The place is beautiful. There are pix all over the place and your music plays in the background. It is made for your fans. Special fans."

Anna said, "It sounds interesting. May be we should plan to visit the place soon. I'm excited to visit the place now."

I said, "Oh yeah you should. It’s worth visiting."
