LOVE (CUPID STIRKES ON NEW YEAR CONTEST)

Chapter 1

I race to the gate for my connecting flight, but it's too late.
"Can I speak to your manager?" I ask frustrated with myself.
"Sure thing ma'am, just as second."
Next, to me, I overhear this guy talking about how he missed his flight too, and might I add he was hot.
The manger comes outs and walks over to me and tells me that they do not have another flight available the next one is in 12 hours.
"Twelve hours?" The guy next to me exclaims.
"Calm down sir, I am willing to give y'all a room in the hotel."
"That would be great, sir," I say satisfied that I don't have to pay for one.
"But you two will have to share it," he says looking at his iPad.
With my eyes wide I repeat what he said: "Share?"

"Don't worry love, I won't do anything you aren't comfortable with," the hot guy says with a wink. I scoff at his cockiness. I think over my options before deciding.
"Fine," I huffed in defeat.
"Here is a key, room 301," the manager says before walking off.
"So what's your name, gorgeous?" I roll my eyes with a laugh before answering.
"Vanessa, how about you hottie?" His eyes widen at my name for him.
"Andrew and I think maybe in love with you," I laugh so hard as we walk to the room.

There is only one bed in the room and a couch.
"I get the bed," I yell while jumping on the bed.
"No, I don't think so," he says while wiggling his eyebrows. I give him a confused look.
"We get the bed," his says in a 'duh' tone.
I giggle before replying.
"No objections here," I said scooting closer to him. He picks me up so that I am straddling him. Our faces are inches apart when my phone rings. I gave him an apologetic look.
"Hey babe," I drape my hair over to one said, and Andrew's eyes widen.
"I missed my connecting flight, I have to wait 12 hours. But ain't worry I'll make sure I am there because I have a special surprise for you." I sat there listening to what Cody is saying on the other line.
"Ok, baby love you." I put my phone down and move in closer to Andrew. But he then picks me up and throws me on the bed. Anger in his eyes.
"You have a boyfriend?" Shit.
"No I was just talking to my son Cody, his birthday is this Saturday." I was expecting him to calm down but nope he just began even more furious.
"You're only like 17 and you have a kid!"
"18," correct him but realize that's not helping, "I know this looks bad but I've changed since the past five years and I have protective sex, I am not about to have another kid."
"You were 13 when you had a kid," yikes I am not helping my case.
"Yes, but-"
"I have to get some fresh air and think. I'll be back," he grabs his coat and leaves,

I sit on the bed and collect my thoughts.

Andrew's POV

I sigh, as think about what just happened. How can she have a son?

She was thirteen. I wonder who takes care of him. I push away of the thoughts dealing with her son.  

I really do like her. I know we just met and all but I wasn't lying when I said I think I might be in love with her. I've never had this feeling about someone. 

Her face runs through my head. Her dark brown eyes and dark chocolate skin.  Oh, and her body is killer but the thing that I love the most is her smile and laugh.  I look at the time and see that there are only 10 hours till our flight arrives, meaning I have 10 hours to win her heart.

I came up with this brilliant plan to buy her a big teddy bear,  a mug that says Happy New Years, some roses, and candles. Just like the movies, this is bound to work, I hope. Now I just need a way to get her out of the room.

  I get back to the room to see Vanessa fast asleep. I really don't want to ruin her sleep, but in order for this to work, I have to, I just pray she won't be too upset.
