The Trip to My Heart (BxB)

Chapter 5

Elliot's POV

I gave him a long but warm stare. I couldn't snap out of this trance no matter how hard I tried.

He's just... so perfect...

"Hello??" He finally asks.

God his voice is so sexy... ELLIOT STOP THINKING LIKE THIS! YOU LITERALLY JUST MET THIS GUY!

"Oh gosh I'm so sorry.. I'm Elliot." I hold out my hand and he gives it a firm shake. He holds my hand for an uncomfortable amount of time and then releases it. I'm not gonna lie.. It made my heart stop.

Leighton glances up at me for a quick moment then looks back down. I could tell by the look on his face he wanted to say something, but I guess he decided not to.

"Well," he says awkwardly, "nice meeting you.. see ya around.." Then he closes his door to the room and walks rather quickly down the hallway. I was disappointed, but I shook it off.

I unlocked my hotel room door and walked in. It was beautiful.

The walls were painted a deep blue and it was very roomy. The first thing I did was drop my stuff down beside the comfy looking queen bed, and head to the bathroom for a shower.

The bathroom was even more gorgeous than the bedroom! The borders of the mirror were painted by some artist named Christina Malbek and it looked magnificent. The floor tiles were stained glass, and everything looked so pretty.

I removed my clothes and turned on the shower. As the water got warm, I stepped in and closed the curtain.

As I washed the nastiness from the airport off of my body, I got lost in my thoughts. All I could think about was Leighton...

I wanna know so much more about him. I want him to be mine.

Elliot why are you even having these thoughts?! You saw him for literally 10 seconds, let it go.

But who am I kidding? A guy like me could never get someone as flawless as him.

When I finished bathing, I dried myself off and put on my plaid pajama pants and crashed.

............

Apparently I slept from 4 o'clock in the afternoon all the way to 6 in the morning.

I woke up confused as hell, with no track of the time whatsoever. Jet lag sucks. Since it was so early, I tried to force myself back to sleep.

But of course, it didn't work, so I got dressed in my suit, and left the hotel room to begin investigating for work.

When I finished it was about 9:30, so I went back to the hotel to get some breakfast.

When I arrived, the breakfast room was full of people. But there was an empty seat right next to... Leighton and some other woman with long brown hair and faint wrinkles.

I didn't wanna just walk over there and sit..
He might think I'm weird or something.

I was about to just forget about breakfast when I found myself walking towards his table.

"Oh! Elliot! Hi!.." He says.

"Is this seat taken?" I ask. He shakes his head and I sit down right next to him.
