The next morning, in the hotel room.
----------------------------------------------
Tobin's POV
Just as Alex starts to wake up she hears a soft voice say,
"Well good morning sleepy head."
"Good morning to you too goon."
"How'd you sleep?"
"Really well actually."
"Good."
"Hey.. Tobs can we talk..?
*sighs* "Yea sure, what's up?"
"So I'm gonna be a bit brave, Tobin I got your note an honestly I have the exact same feeling you do, and you don't have to be the moon. If you'll let me, I'm going to call Serv and tell him we're over. Tobin I want you to know Serv doesn't make me a tenth of as happy as you do, I was just scared that I was the only one with these feelings, I was scared of losing you."
"Awe, Alex you will never lose me. I'm not going anywhere."
"Okay well I'm going to go call Serv."

Alex's POV
*Phone ringing*
"Hey Serv we need to talk."
"Yea I've been meaning to call you, sorry Alex, but this isn't working and.. there's someone else."
"Okay well thanks for telling me"
"You're okay with this?"
"No Serv I'm not okay with you cheating on me, but I'll be fine, I'll find someone else. Someone who will treat me right and who has my best interest at heart. It hurt that you cheated, but not enough to break me. Good bye Serv, I wish you well."

With that Alex hung up and went to Tobin.
"Tobin.."
"Yes Alex?"
"Will you be my girl friend?"
"Alex I'm not saying no,"
"But?"
"But if we're going to do this, we're going to start it the right way."
"What do you mean?"
"Meet me at the fountain in the courtyard this evening at 1800*."
"Umm.. Okay."
"Don't worry, you'll like it. I'm going to go talk to Ash and Ali, I'll see you at 1800."
"Wait, what should I wear?"
"Anything you want but keep in mind whatever it is, I'll want to take it off before the night is over."

With that Tobin went down the hall to make plans and ask Ash and Ali to help her pull this off. She knocks and waits for the door to open.

"Hey Ali, I was wondering if you and Ashlyn would be willing to help me setup something romantic for Alex, I want to ask her out tonight."
"Finally, yes Tobin we'll help, what do you need us to do?"
"Well I want to have a romantic dinner with Alex by the fountain in the courtyard, but I want something a little more than that also, and I might have told her that whatever she wore I'd want to take off by the end of the night.."
"Woah look at you being straightforward."
"Best way to be, right? I want this night to be something Alex will never forget."
"Oh trust me no matter what you do, she'll never forget it."
"Thanks Ali."
"Anytime."

Down in the courtyard Ash is setting candles around the fountain and on the tables, while Ali is helping Tobin get ready. Tobin has picked out a maroon button up, black tie, maroon vest, dark wash jeans, and black chucks.**

"Tobin are you sure this is what you want to wear?"
"I'm certain, I also think Alex will appreciate the fact that I dressed up a little."
"A little? Okay well you'll look great."
"Haha, yes a little, wait until you see me really dress up."
"Well if you look half as good as you will tonight, then I think it's safe to say Alex is one lucky lady."
"Thanks Ali, this is a big night and you've been nothing but supportive."
"Anytime you need me, I'm here."
"I just want this night to be perfect."
"It will be, and you might get your wish, the clothes will be off before its close to the end of the night."

*1800 is 6pm.
**Chucks are converse.
