Denise jumps and quickly opens her eyes. "Wow! It's so beautiful!"

"I know, right?! I can't get over the view! It's so different than home!", I add.

We've been to Denver before, but not in a long time. It makes you feel so small when you go to a place like this, verses little Rapid City, SD. You realize just how big the world is.

"This is really happening Jordan!!!", Denise blurts.

"And it's only gonna get better!", I say.

"What do you mean? ", she asks.

"I upgraded our tickets to VIP! Guess who's got front row seats and meet and greet?! ", I declare.

"No way! Are you kidding me?! It's like a dream come true!!!", she yells.

"I got a good deal on them too. Here's our hotel!", I holler.

"It's even prettier than the pictures!", she replies.

I park the car. We walk through the two glass doors. I'm immediately taken back! It's gorgeous! There's a beautiful water fall in-between two glass elevators lined with lights, and a prodigous lobby with fancy couches and tables. My eyes meet a lady at the reception desk. I look at the name tag and read: Brooke.

"How can I help you?", asks Brooke.

"We reserved room 212, under Denise Richards", Denise declares.

"Yes. Here are two room keys. Enjoy your stay", says Brooke.

"Thank you!", Denise and I reply in unison.

I unlock the door and am amazed once again! The room is much larger than I thought! As soon as we walk in I see a mini kitchen with a dining room table. Next I notice the neat living room with a pull-out couch and 50 inch flat screen TV. And then we went into the bedroom. Talk about nice! It has two full size beds, with chocolates on them, and they're facing yet another 50 inch flat screen. Lastly, we walk into the bathroom. It's huge! It has a gorgeous vanity, and a large shower/bath! Can this day get any better?!

I drop my bags and fall on the bed. "This is spectacular!"

"As you always say: I know, right?!", Denise exclaims.

We laugh. "I'm gonna shower", I note.

"Okay. I'm gonna watch some Netflix. Don't be too long, Friends is awaiting", she adds.

I get in the shower. I love the feeling of the warm water on my skin. Especially after that long drive. I'm so glad that we're here. It's only 10:30pm now, so we made good time. I turn off the water. That's weird. It's really quiet, too quiet. I wrap my towel around me and swing open the door.

"Denise? Denise?!" She's not in the room. Okay, where did she go? I'll look for her in the hall. Right, I'm just in a towel. It'll be fine, I'm just going out for a second. I grab my room key and open the door.

Where would have she gone? My mind immediately goes to the worst possible scenario, when I bump into someone. Part of my towel falls so I quickly retie it. I hear a faint "sorry". I look up. It's a boy. He looks about my age. He's cute. Nerdy cute. He's got glasses and dark brown hair, slicked back. He's wearing a button up shirt. He's tall. I remember I'm in a towel.

"Oh. You're fine. I mean like that's okay. Not like 'you are fine'. Not that you're not. Er, i mean", I reply. I'm stumbling over my words like crazy.

He just grins and walks on. Well I just made a complete fool of myself. Crap! And totally lost my train of thought. I'm looking for Denise!

"Jordan? Are you out here in your towel?!", Denise asks.

"I was looking for you! Where were you?", I exclaim.

"Settle down chica. I was just getting some ice", she replies.

"Sorry. I was just worried.", I add.

"I know. But I'm just fine. You worry too much", she declares.

"I know. But guess what just happened?", I proclaim.

We get back into the room. "What?", Denise asks.

"I just ran into this cute boy and part of my towel fell down", I say.

"Oh my goodness! What'd he look like? How much of your towel fell? And what did he say?! Details, please!!!", she prods.

"Okay. Okay. He was nerdy cute, yet tall and broad. And it just started to come undone. He just said sorry, and walked away. But the best part is how I embarrassed myself. Haha. I could've just accepted the apology like a normal person, but no. I was all, 'you're fine, but not like you are fine, not that you're not'. So, yeah. Flirt of the year!", I explain.

"You're totally crushing! Did he say anything else?", she adds.

"No. He just smiled and walked away. Anyways, we should get some sleep", I reply.

"Agreed!", Denise says.

I get dressed and hop in the comfy bed. I feel myself sink into it. I already start drifting off when i hear Denise say, "Goodnight".

"Night", I reply.

.

"Jordan! Jordan!!! Come on! Get your booty out of bed! It's already 11:30! We're going to lunch!", Denise yells.

I slowly open my eyes. Man, i slept hard. Denise has always been an early bird, and me, not so much. I'm a night owl, not a morning person. But I better get up. I'm not gonna sleep the whole trip!

I put on my glasses. "I'm up! I'm up!", I shout.

"Finally! Now get ready! We're going to Chipotle!!!", she squeals.

"Yasss! I'll be ready in 20", I reply.

I opt for skinny jeans and a Pink VS pull-over. Can't ever go wrong with that. I brush my teeth and put on my makeup. I quick run some product through my hair and put my pink high top converse on.

"Okay, girl. Let's go!", I remark.

I grab my room key, keys, and Kavu bag, and head out the door. We get in the car and turn on the radio.

🎵"Cause we danced all night to the best song ever",🎶 we sing along together.

Then a woman's voice comes on the radio. "One Direction has been spotted early, before the concert in Denver, playing pranks on people. The boys are at again."

Denise and I turn to eachother and scream. "Oh my goodness! We have to find them!!!", I shriek.

"Here we come boys!!!", she squeals.
