The sound of ringing is what woke me up the next morning. Without opening my eyes, I blindly reached over and grabbed my phone, pulling it off the charger.

"Hello?" My throat felt scratchy and I knew I didn't sound the least bit attractive like a guy would.

"Hey babe. Um, I'm standing outside of your room. Let me in?"

Pulling the phone away from my face, I squinted at the bright screen. Five in the morning?! Is he serious right now?!

"Beau, why are you waking me up at five in the morning?"

"Just let me in and I'll tell you."

Sighing loudly, I hung up and climbed out of bed. I was too tired to care about how I looked as I slumped over to the door. Cracking open the door, I let Beau open it up the rest of the way. He walked in, dressed, hair done, and a smile on his face.

"Hello beautiful."

My eyes widened, instantly wakening me. It was the first time he called me beautiful without getting shy about it. The first time he called me beautiful, I was dressed up and had makeup on.

Now, my hair was all over the place and I had no makeup on. Without waiting for me to reply, he walked deeper into the room and plopped on my bed.

"How are you so awake at this time?" I whined and started to crawl back into bed.

He had sat where I was laying before but instead of laying on the other side, I laid down right next to him and put my head on his chest. He was oddly comfortable for having no fat and all muscle.

"I did go to sleep at like ten." His laugh vibrated his chest and made me smile. "You can't go back to sleep babe."

"But why?" I dug my head deeper in his chest and sighed once I got comfortable. Just give me one more minute and I'll be out.

Out of nowhere, Beau stood up, meaning that I face planted the bed. I grunted and looked up at him with an evil look on my face.

"I can't tell you. Just get dressed, please." He stuck his bottom lip out and gave me his puppy eyes.

"Fine, fine."

There was no way in hell I was putting on makeup so I put my hair in a messy bun and got dressed. Beau told me to wear something warm but comfortable so following his orders, I threw on jeans, a long sleeved pull over and then my peacoat. Since my vans were the only shoes I brought, I put those on and grabbed my phone.

"Alright, I'm ready."

"Okay, let's go."

He was way to smiley for my liking, especially at five in the morning. It made me almost nervous but in a good way. I knew that whatever Beau had planned, I would like it.

He knew me better than I knew myself and I trusted him so I was nervous but excited at the same time. Well, as excited as I could get this early in the morning.

I raised my eyebrows at Beau when he pushed the up button in the elevator instead of down. He shook his head at me though and I rolled my eyes. I wasn't going to ask. Okay maybe I was but I already knew he wasn't going to tell me.

It took forever to get to the top floor but when the doors opened it wasn't what I expected. I thought we were going to the top floor where more rooms were but when the doors opened, all that was there was another door.

Beau held the elevator door open for me as I stepped out. I didn't want to go straight for the door so I waited for him to go ahead and open it.

Before he opened it though, he turned towards me, rubbing the back of his neck.
