Running From The Bride

no! Cynthia! Don't dieeeee!
Thunk
I was getting to the really good part of the book when all of a sudden a speed bump comes up. Nooo! I have to wait till the next chapter comes out?

I check the uploading schedule and I have to wait...5 days?! I slam my hand on the floor of the trunk. "Kat? Are yfu mphk pack therr?" I can faintly hear over my music. I pull my earbud out.

"What did you say?" I sit up and see that my dad was talking to me. "Are you okay? I heard a thump back there." "I'm fine, just dropped my phone."

I decide to give my eyes a break and look out the back trunk window. It's starting to get dark now. I check the time, it's 6:25pm. That's when I see our hotel. It's really pretty and big, my dad must've used that money on this.

When we pull in, I start to put up my stuff as my dad tells the girls to do the same. We find a good spot near the entrance and park. When I pop open the trunk and hop out, I first look for the pool and it seems deep; maybe 8 feet.

I grab my bag and pull out the suitcase that was in there with me. By this time, my dad has the stuff off of the car roof already. We start towards the front, as I get closer to the building, I read the pool depth and see that it's 10ft at deepest.

I then turn my attention back to the front doors. I my dad is calling for someone to help us with our bags and stuff. We all walk into the beautiful hotel where the lobby's surprisingly vacant. But once I walk closer to the front desk, I see a guy sitting on a chair with his phone. He's really cute...maybe about 18. I become curious and step closer. When I notice he's texting someone, I hear a ding from my phone.

No, it can't be. I open my phone and see that I got a text.

???: I'm in the lobby of the hotel you named. I'm waiting here to see what you look like so I can make sure I'm picking up the right girl😉

Oh my god....I think it's him. I stare at him from the side as he looks around the lobby, waiting for my reply. He has light brown hair and green eyes, good body but not overly tight. Damn...

Then I look back at his phone...please let this be him, please let my name be on his phone.

Then a miracle happened, my name was right there, at the tippy top of his glorious phone. He's still scanning the lobby when his eyes finally land on me. I feel my face look down in embarrassment...I got caught staring at him.

I look back to my dad and them, they're not paying attention to me. I look back and it's his turn to stare at me, but this time he has this stupid grin on his face.
Quickly, not wanting to risk my dad or any of then noticing, I turn my phone on and turn the screen towards him so he could see.

When He sees it, his grin grows even bigger, it's so hot on him. what are you thinking?! But I don't listen to my head, I ignore the voice telling me it's wrong and focus on my body that heats up when he looks at me.

I turn my back to him so it's not suspicious, but mostly because of embarrassment. I smile to myself, damn he's so cute. At least my mind agrees now.

I get another text from him.

???:nice to meet you, kat.

And then my smile turns into a bigger one, damn it, he got me to grin. I shake my head and turn off my phone, turning my head a bit to see him looking at me too.

Still looking at him, I feel someone behind my shoulder. "Aww, does someone have a crush? Too bad I think he's cute too." I turn around to see Jane grinning and already walking towards him.

I didn't want to seem clingy...wait, he's not even dating me! I stand there looking at my 'sister' get closer. She starts to flirt with him, maybe trying her charms on him.

She's actually really pretty. Jane has dark brown hair and blue eyes with a small frame, while I'm not as small, but not big either.

He finally turns his head away from me and looks at her. She's smiling at him and touching his arm, yet he has a straight face on and isn't reacting to her at all except for the fact that he's trying to get space between them.

Haha, finally she doesn't have an affect on a guy. After 2 minutes of failed flirting, she pouts as she walks back towards me. She just sneers at me while she walks past. I try my hardest to not laugh at her pout face.

I swear, she's a baby at heart. Then my phone dings again as my dad motions me to follow him to the elevator.

~
???: just sayin, your sister's cute, but she's not my type. I know I'm hot and all, but I didn't know I was irresistible.😏
~

I turn back to look at him as I step into the elevator. He has that smile plastered back on his face, shrugging as though she did absolutely nothing to him.

The elevator doors close, I pull my phone out and text him back.

~
Kat:some ego you got there. Be careful, I wouldn't want to get hurt falling from how high it is. 😂

???: I would KittyKat, but I heard that you have 9 lives. I'm pretty sure you could spare one for me.

Kat: fine, you win this round, but I'll get you back later.

???: we'll see about that, KittyKat.

I shake my head and turn my phone off when we reach the 4th floor. I put my phone in my back pocket when we step out. Backpack on my back, and suitcase in hand; we go to room 4089...the one I booked for us. I open the door first. It's a suite, with two queen beds and a pull out couch bed.

I put my stuff down next to the couch and walk to the balcony. Opening the door, the wind hits my face. It's great outside, not too hot or cold. Maybe 80°.

I walk to the edge of the balcony and look down. There's the pool, right below me. 10ft deep pool, maybe 52feet from ground too the 4th floor.

I'm going to escape tonight, my life changes now.
