We came back from dinner and Esther crashed in her room.  Jetlag finally caught up with her. I changed into yoga pants and my favorite purple V-neck t-shirt and my matching purple sweater boots. I opened our door and snuck into Greyson's room. He just came out of the bathroom. He had changed into his Beatles shirt and jeans and his vintage zip-up Chuck Taylor's.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked as he put a black hoodie on.

"Yeah. Esther is already asleep, she won't wake up until noon tomorrow."

"We have plenty of time." He smiled. "Do you have a jacket with a hood?"

"Yeah, I'll go get it." I went back to my room. I pulled my pink jacket out of my suitcase and put it on. Greyson snuck up behind me and hugged me.

"Boo." He whispered in my ear. I jumped.

"Greyson." I gasped. "Haven't I been scared enough tonight?" I giggled.

"Come on, I wanna show you that surprise." He whispered.

He held my hand as we left the room.

Greyson had arranged for a black car to pick us up in front of the hotel. The car drove for about 10 minutes. It took us to a cute little coffee shop called The Mystical Dragon.

"I'm 99.9% positive that no one followed us here, but just in case put your hood up." Greyson said as he put my hood up for me. He put his up, as well. He held my hand as we got out and went downstairs to the coffee shop. It was a tiny café and had burning escents on the counter and a few tables. Greyson and I walked up to the counter where a huge black dragon statue guarded a doorway.

"Hello?" Greyson called out.

A young Chinese man came through the guarded doorway. His eyes lit up when he saw us.

"Mr. Chance! It is so good to see you!" He hugged Greyson from over the counter. "How are you? And who is this pretty girl you have brought with you?" He said looking me over.

"Easy Lee, remember, you have a girlfriend." Greyson chuckled. "And I've been good. This is Maddie. Maddie, this is my friend Lee."

"Hi. It's nice to meet you, Lee." I said.

"It's nice to meet you too. Greyson, I am sorry the rest of  the family is not here to welcome you back. They left early and left me here with the billiards game going on." He referenced the group of people playing billiards in the corner.

"I'll come back in the day later this week, then we can have a reunion." Greyson said.

"That would be great. Oh, what can I get you two?" Lee asked.

"I'll have a vanilla latte. What do you want Maddie?" Greyson asked me.

"Um, I'll have a chocolate chip Frappuccino." I said reading the menu.

"Very good. I will bring it out for you guys in a few minutes." Lee said.

"Thank you, Lee." Greyson said. He led me to a sofa with a coffee table in front of it. He held his hand out and helped me onto the sofa. "There you go, My Lady." Greyson said in a medieval accent.

"Thank you, Kind Sir." I mimicked him. Greyson sat on the opposite side of the sofa and put his feet up by me. I did the same so we were facing each other.

Greyson sighed, "What a crazy night we've had."

"More like crazy day. Now you know what a day with me is like." I laughed.

"Is it always this crazy?" He asked.

"On a normal day, no. But when I'm on vacation I find myself in weirder situations than usual. Like the time I went to the beach and I was trying to fly a kite. The winds were so strong the kite picked me up off the ground and ran me into a man selling tiny cactus plants.  So yes, it is this crazy." I replied.
