I was woken up the next morning by faint knocking on my hotel door. When I opened my eyes I panicked and sat up, because I had forgotten all about what happened just the night before.
I quickly walked over to the door and opened it to reveal a little Hispanic lady.
"Clean?" She asked, smiling.
"Oh," I said turning around looking at the room. Since I didn't have any clothes or anything with me, there really wasn't anything to clean. "No thank you," I smiled.
She smiled and nodded. She walked down the hall and knocked on someone else's door, leaving me to think about what the hell I was going to do with myself.
After contemplating for a little while, I decided to go ask Reggie where the closest clothing store was. If I was going to stay here for a while I was going to have to have other clothes.
I walked to the hotel front desk, but instead of Reggie sitting there reading a magazine it was a lady. She looked about mid-30s. She was really pretty.
"Hey," I said approaching her. Her name tag read Julianna.
"Hey doll, how can I help you?" She smiled and asked me.
"Do you know where the closest clothing store is?" I asked.
"Uh yea, I think the closest one is Juno's. It's about a 15 minute walk. Walk out those front doors, turn left, and just keep walking, you'll run into it at some point," she pointed.
"No there's a closer one than that," a voice behind me said.
I turned around, and there was a gorgeous dirty blond haired guy standing there. He had round glasses on and a book in his hand.
"Just go right instead of left. It's about 10 minutes from here, it's called Clothes and Thangs. I know it sounds stupid, but it's a really cool store," he smiled.
"I know that smile," I thought to myself.
"Do I know you?" I asked, examining his face.
"Uh, I don't think so. I'm River," he stuck out his hand for me to shake.
I chocked when he said his name. Not only because it's a beautiful name, but because it's THE River Phoenix. I mean it has to be it looks just like him.
"That's a pretty name," I smiled and shook his hand. "Valerie."
"I think I saw you at that party last night, didn't I?" He questioned.
"Um, i don't know. I can't remember," I said because I honestly don't think I saw him. Even though I saw a lot of faces last night, I would've remembered his face.
"Yea you were talking to Wil and Haim," he pointed at me.
"Yep, that was me," I said.
"Man," he smiled.
"Man what? I asked raising my eyebrows.
"Did you see the way Corey was looking at you last night? He hasn't looked at a girl like than in- well he's never looked at a girl like that. Except for his mom," River smiled raising his eyebrows.
"Like what?" I asked.
"Like you were the most beautiful girl he's ever seen."
