Chapter Twenty Six

"So uh now what?" I ask Dirk looking around nervously.

"We pick up the rest of our bags, and head out front. I have a car waiting for us."

"Oh ok." I follow Dirk through the airport and help him gather up our belongings. Then we head out front where we find a guy in a car who's going to drive us to our hotel. He'll take us to my graduation tomorrow, and when we leave after my graduation he'll drive us to the airport. Dirk has something similar set up for when we're in California, except we drive the car to our hotel and rent it for the month I'm there. When I'm going to the airport from California to get home the driver will take me.

Dirk and I are quiet on the way to the hotel. The man driving doesn't say much either. When I'm sure he isn't watching I take Dirk's hand in my own and raise my legs up to hide our joined hands. Dirk gives my hand a little squeeze, but still doesn't say anything. "Are you worried about something?" I ask quietly.

"A little bit. It's easy to tell?"

"Yeah."

"It'll be ok."

"Does saying that really convince you?" Dirk shrugs and stares out the window for the remainder of the ride. When we get to the hotel Dirk tells the man what time to be here tomorrow. While he does that I get our stuff out of the trunk and wait at the door for him to help me carry it in. Instead a guy from the hotel comes out and offers to help. He takes our stuff to our room and I check us in. Dirk is just coming in when I'm done and have the key card. "Where were you?"

"Phone call. Sorry."

"It's fine. So now what?"

"You do realize it's already dark here right?"

"What? Why-oh yeah different time zone. I'm not tired yet though."

"Well you could explore the hotel or maybe just chill in the room."

"I think just chill in the room."

"Alright." Dirk followed me up to the room and I frowned when I saw two beds. "We're still brothers, I don't want to get you in any trouble when you've come so far." Dirk read my mind even without seeing my face.

"I'm going to sleep in your bed."

"Like I would let you sleep any where else." Dirk smiles and opens his arms. I fall into them pushing him back into the door. I wrap my arms around his neck and leverage my self up. Dirk knows what I want and lifts me up the rest of the way. He flips us around so my back is against the door and he's pressing me into it.

"And you say I don't like sexy things."

"Making out against a door is cliché, although I'll admit it's pretty sexy. You like the really corny stuff."

"What can I say, I'm a hopeless romantic." Dirk laughs, and I reach for his shades. I push them up onto the top of his head and gaze into his gorgeous amber eyes. "You're too amazing."

"No, you are." Dirk pulls us away from the door and drops me onto one of the beds. Then he pulls away from me. At first I think it's only to set his shades on the nightstand, but he doesn't come back after that.

"Hey where are you going?"

"We're not getting it on here."

"Aww, why not?" I know I'm pouting but I don't care.

"Hotel walls aren't sound proof, and there's a family with two younger children next door. It wouldn't be right."

"Ok."

"I'll be with you in California the first few days though."

"God your making me wait so long." Dirk rolls his eyes.
