"I can't help myself, it's the way I feel.
When you look me in the eyes like you did last night,
I can't stand to hear you say goodbye."

"I can't talk for long, we promised no phones. And I'm on my way back to the hotel now," I told my two best friends. Now that my phone was back on, I gave the two a call so they could stop texting me and stop worrying.

"Tell is everything! Where are you?" Caroline asked me.

"Seattle," I answered. "We're having lots of fun. He's amazing. The best actually."

"I can't believe you got on a damn plane with him," Caroline said.

I blushed, "it's Seattle. I've always wanted to come here. And we're doing everything I wanted to. I'm so happy!"

"Aww. What did you guys do yesterday?" Bonnie asked.

"So we got room service for breakfast. We got off to a late start. But we got on the great wheel, it's a huge Ferris wheel where we made out on the top. Then we went to this art museum I've been dreaming of visiting one day. After that we went to Pike Place for lunch. Then took a nap before going to a fancy outdoor dinner, and afterwards we headed to a club. Where I got a little drunk," I said.

"And what did drunk Lottie do when she realized she was dating a hunk?" Caroline asked and I just knew she was smirking.

"Tried to jump him in an elevator," I said, cheeks burning. The two girls laughed on the other line. "Then this group of girls joined us and we stopped. But they invited him up to There's to have an orgy or something like I wasn't just sucking his neck."

"Drunk and jealous. Oh boy," Bonnie said.

"Kol got me out of there. We had a talk and somehow I decided I wanted to be less boring and more spontaneous so I dragged him back to the elevator..."

"It's nearly 3AM, why are we on the roof?" Kol asked as I opened the door to reveal the empty rooftop. "It's closed, princess."

"I know," I smirked at him and he raised a brow at me. I walked off, barefoot, towards the pool on the other end. Kol followed me and the two of us sat on pool lounge chairs. "I want to swim. Can you help me out of this dress?"

He got up to sit behind me, my body humming due to the closeness. He slid a hand up the side of my leg where my skin was exposed. The sides of my dress was all open with cross cross ties that tied on the side of my thigh. And a few in the back. "Did I tell you how sexy you looked tonight? Because I should have," he said.

He undid the tie on my right side, his lips pressing to the right side of my neck. Kol's hands moved to my back, undoing all three ties until it loosened across my body. The back and front of my dress were held by these ties strings, and now the front had fell forward, revealing my red bra. I undid the tie on my left thigh and Kol slid the loose straps off my shoulders. "Stand up," he said.

I did as he said, standing up and letting the dress fall to the ground. I stood in my red bra and black spandex I wore under the revealing dress. I wanted my bottom covered. "Stop looking at me," I blushed.
