The sweet burn of the coffee going down my throat makes me feel so good.

It's silent in the room as Sean and I have our breakfast. It's a peaceful silence.

Last night we had a long conversation before we finally fell asleep.

I came to learn a lot about him. He's nineteen years old and he is the first born out of four.

His mother started treating him differently after an incident with his father who was beating her black and blue.

He couldn't take it anymore and beat his father up. The man ended up abandoning his mother to struggle with him and his siblings.

He loves his mom very much and he tells her everyday how much he does.

I myself opened up to him about my father and things that happened in the past, leaving out the whole drama between Chris and I.

I feel light hearted. I don't normally open up to anyone, but since we were at it, I just let some of it out.

We bonded a lot last night. More than I ever thought I would with someone I just met.

"Seems like you didn't rob me after all" I joke.

"Yeah man. I slept in. Can you believe that?" He answers going along with my joke.

"Idiot" I chuckle. "What are you doing today?"

"I don't have any plans. I guess I'll help you use that soft gigantic bed of yours. It's not like I gave anything better to do"

"So you'll sleep through the whole day?"

"Umm yeah...duh"

"You're no fun" I pout and he chuckles.

"You're serious?" I ask again after some time.

"Okay sunshine. What do you suggest I do?"

"Let's go out. Have some fun. I could use that right now, you know"

"Okay?"

"What okay? I can't go alone"

"Why's that? I thought you said I was no fun" he grins.

"Christian!!" I whine.

"Who the he'll is Christian? I know I'm not. Maybe he's around here. Christian! Christian! Guess not" he says trying to keep his laugh in control.

My smile fades away as I realize I just called him Christian instead of Sean, before noticing.

"Hey. Hey. You okay sunshine?" He asks, concern pure in his voice.

"Yeah! Why?" I say. My voice sounds strange and high pitched to me. Rushed even.

"Did I say something wrong?" He asks softly standing in front of me.

"No... not at all. I.. um... I'll just um... do you.... do you want to go shopping?" I ask avoiding his gaze.

"Yeah, that'd be great. I'll just take a quick shower"

"Okay"

He walks out of the small room and into the bathroom. I know he's not actually going to take a shower, because he just took one before breakfast.

I appreciate him not pushing me to tell him anything and that he's giving me some time alone to get my shit together.

"I don't have anything to wear and those smell like shit" he says holding his dirty clothes in his hand when he comes back from the bathroom.

"You could go like that. I don't mind" I grin, wiggling with my eyebrows.

He has a towel tied around his waist, showing his perfect upper body.

"Now that... is just creepy" he says, playfully covering his body with his hand and I giggle. "That's a beautiful sound. You remind me of someone"

"Yeah? Who?"

"Never mind. Anyway I can't go shopping, because I don't have clothes. Seems like I'll just sleep after all"

"I have a pair of sweatpants and shirts"

"Na ah! Noo! Not happening at all! We'll just have to wash these and wait till they're dry"

"Whatever" I say and roll my eyes.

A knock on the door stops him from giving me a reply.

"Are you expecting someone?" I ask him.

"Wait. Who's suite is this again?"

"No need for sarcasm here buddy" I smile as I walk towards the door.

"Oh hey Bey. What's up?" I say as I open the door.

"Hey. They locked me out of the room" she says rather irritated.

"Who?" I ask laughing.

"Don't laugh. It's not funny. My husband and my daughter of course. They're probably chocking my Ben & Jerry's down"

"Come on in. I could use some more company"

"Oh shit!" Sean exclaims shocked when he looks at Beyonce.

Okay I forgot he could have been a fan. Let's hope he doesn't jump on her like Delanxy did when she met her.
