I woke up in a corner, on the floor down a corridor.

Housekeepers were pushing trollies with either piping hot breakfasts or dirty plates and leftovers on them.

I could kill for some food right now..

"Found you." I recognized Noah's furry slippers in front of me and raised my head to see her towering over me.

"Oh yeah." I mumbled tiredly, getting up onto my feet.

We'd joined up with Mason's friends last night and were playing hide and seek around the hotel. I must have fallen asleep on someone else's turn to look.

"Do you know where everyone else is?"
"Mason and his friends are gone, but the rest of us are back in that conference room. A couple of us snuck into some changing room showers this morning. If you want I can take you there."
"So what I'm hearing is- you want to shower together?"
"Nice try. I've already had my shower," she hit my arm lightly. "Hayden told me last night about your little voicemail."
"Ah shit. I forgot about that."
"Yeah. You two really seem to have it in for each other."
"Well.." I looked away uncomfortably.
"And the end of the voicemail? You know, just before bye fuck face."
"It was see ya fuck face."
"Oh my bad," she rolled her eyes and smiled. "How did you find out?"
"I came to look for you. I wanted to apologize, but Hayden didn't really give me the chance."
"Does it bother you?"
"What?"
"That I kissed him. Or he kissed me, I don't know but does it?"
"I.. I'm not really sure."
"Oh, come on," she stopped and turned to face me. "Yes or no."
"Well what do you want me to say? Yeah. Yes, it does. A little."
"Why haven't you spoken to me about it then?"
"It's none of my business. If you want to kiss Hayden, then.."
"Then what?" She laughed.
"Then.. you know. You can."
"Is that your blessing I'm hearing?"
"Course not."

She laughed some more.

"Well I was jealous as hell when you kissed Julia. Just sayin'."
"Yeah, but she wasn't the one in the back of my car last night, was she?"
"Awh, I feel so privileged." She pouted and put a hand to her heart.

We'd arrived at our room. Everyone was lounging around in there.

Seeing as it was a conference room and it was now Monday morning, we'd have to leave right about now if we didn't want to get caught.

"Where were you?" Riley asked as Noah and I arrived.
"Found him asleep on a corridor downstairs." Noah said.
"So what are we doing now?" Oliver asked.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm starving." Chase yawned.
"Mee too." I added.
"There's a free breakfast buffet downstairs-" Darcy began.
"Let's go!" I said excitedly. Chase stood up to leave and Hayden made his way towards the door.
"- for people who've booked a stay here."
"Ah, fuck." Chase threw himself back into the sofa in disappointment.

"I need to get home now anyways." Noah said, stuffing her blanket into her bag.
"Is that a gym bag?" Chase asked.
"Yeah. Parents got it for me, I had to find some use for it."
Chase shook his head and smiled. "Why do you have to go?"
"The people who got me this think I'm at a sleep over. One that ends at ten."
"What about the dinner? Didn't you tell them about that?" Darcy asked.
"Oh yeah. That ends at two right?"
"Yeah."
"See, you still have some time to kill." Chase winked at Noah.
I gave him a look behind his back.

Keep your cool Liam....

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Only problem is.." Noah reached into her bag. "I packed clothes for an eighteenth birthday dinner. Not breakfast." She pulled out a fancy white dress and gold block heels.
