REAL LIFE — HOME IS WHERE YOU ARE

All the agendas for the young Swede had ended, he couldn't stand still knowing that in mere hours he would see her again and get to keep her around him for two weeks.

"Will you stop pacing back and forth? You're making me dizzy!" He hadn't even noticed he had done that, all he did during the day was look at the time on his watch and wish it could go faster. His brother Alexander was with him ever since he landed back in Sweden, they talked about stuff that happened but Bill never mentioned about his "relationship" with Alexa to his brother.

"I can't help it! I'm just excited to show her around here." He ran his fingers through his hair, attempting to fix it after messing it up due to his impatience.

"That's a lie, you're excited because she's going to be here. You can't lie to me little brother." Bill rolled his eyes, he was trying to a facade that he and Alexa were just close friends. It's not because he doesn't trust his brother but because once he tells this to him, the whole family will know a day later.

"Tell me, what is it about her that makes you act like this. I haven't seen someone be so excited after not seeing them for three days." He started thinking, why her? There are so many women he can get but his mind, heart and soul chose her. Is it because she's a talented actor? Because of her beauty? Then it hit him like a train, whenever he was around Alexa he would always feel like he can tell her anything. If she was there, he wants to be there too, no matter the circumstance. He feels warm even just listening to her voice.

"Wow, that was a nice speech." Alex wiped a fake tear in his eyes, as if he was reading a Nicholas Sparks novel.

"Have I been thinking out loud?"

"Yeah, why did you never mentioned to me that you're in love with her?"

"Really? I'm sure I've mentioned it."

"You guys are dating, aren't you?" The shocked face of Alex was priceless, Bill froze at the accusation. He really didn't want to be bombarded with questions about his love life from his family.

"Just don't tell anyone okay."

"I won't until you answer my questions."

"Fine."

"When did you two started dating?"

"Just 3 days ago, I asked her in her own apartment."

"Smart move, second question is when do we get to meet her?" Bill sucked in a deep breath, he expected this question.

"On her next visit, it's too early in our relationship for her to be meeting all of you. She'll get overwhelmed."

"Okay, last question. Is she worth all the trouble that's going to happen once you decided to come out?"

"Yes."

The plane arrived on time and now it was the start of the plan they have created during Alexa's flight. It's very simple although he didn't get to pick her up in the airport, he does however get to hangout in her hotel room. No one seemed to noticed who he was in the hotel, he was wearing a casual outfit; a brown knitted sweater, underneath he was wearing a gray shirt, black jeans, a hat and sunglasses. Bill grabbed a newspaper and sat on the many couches placed in the lobby, waiting for Alexa to arrive.

He heard screaming and shouting outside of the doors of the hotel, instantly he knew that she was here. The security opened the door and just like that his eyes followed only Alexa's movement. She looked around and halted when her eyes met with his.
