I take the elevator to the top floor not even bothering to make conversation with Liam who is in the elevator with me. I've lost interest in All other men but Chris.
I stand in front of the pent house door for a long time. 5 or 6 minutes.
Their probably straying at me through the peep hole about to call the cops on me for loitering or stalking.
I just can't do it.
Christopher looked so happy when I told him we could go out together.
I turn aground and walk away to the elevator.
When it opens to my surprise Chris is in it.
"Oh Chris, hi" I say getting in the elevator.
"Hi" he says. He stays in the elevator even though he was supposed to get off.
"Isn't this your stop?" I ask.
"I'll stop wherever you stop" he says.
He gets a little closer and holds my hand.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS I LOVE YOU SOOK MUCH MARRY ME RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

................but all I did was smile

"Look Christopher," I say
"Uh oh somethings wrong. You only call me Christopher when something's wrong"
"Sorry. Chris I'm sorry but I was having second thoughts about this whole relationship thing. I'm sorry I hope we can still be friends"
I say formally.
"Ya right" he laughs."what's actually wrong"

Ok I can't believe this he has only known me a day or two and he can already tell if I'm lying.

"Is it true that your buying the hotel?"
"Ya my dad is staying here this week and if every goes well then he's buying it" says Chris as if it weren't so important.

"And you didn't bother to tell me?" I say blowing things a little bit out of proportion.

"I just met you" he laughs.

" guys got a point" I think to myself.

"Why is it such a big deal to you?" He asks his usual smile fades ever so slightly.

" right" I say remembering what I came here for. I need to end this.
" I really think your a great guy... But I just can't date you for so many reasons" I blurt out as fast as u can not even thinking about this guys feelings.

" excuse me?" He asks politely.

We stand in silence. I look at his confused face feeling sorry for him then it dawns on me after about thirty seconds. He really didn't hear me.

"Ok let's try this again" I say aloud.

" I can't date you" I say slowly.

"Why not?"

" so many reasons, none of which I agree with by the way"

"Tell me"

" ok, I don't want to be the one responsible for the total destruction of this hotel! I heard that if your family doesn't buy this hotel then it's gonna be torn down or replaced!"

"Woah woah"

" let me finish... Also as you may have noticed I'm extremely poor. So poor that I can't even afford a cab. How do you think it would look if I starting dating one of the richest men in the world" I say. " we would both be ruined. I'd be known as the biggest gold digger and you'd be known as the idiot who didn't see it coming."

" oh, yeah" he says. He must know exactly what I'm talking about. His whole life there has been cameras around him watching his every move.

"I'm so sorry" I say, taking a step towards him.

"Christopher!" We hear a voice coming from inside the room.

Without thinking I run down the hall and hide in a supply closet.

Through the crack of the door I can see Christopher and his father getting into the elevator.
He looks at me and sinks his head down as if he just lost someone he loved.

Which is totally ridiculous! I just met him to really not that devastating. I don't know why this is such a big deal to me or him. Oh well it's over with. So many bad stuff has happened in my life I don't need to be sad about this.
