Who You Are

I woke up the next morning in the hotel and with a massive headache. We had decided to go out with Will to cheer him up, but of course when we got to the club all the girls wanted Will. They were all over him and he was loving all the attention. I decided there was nothing better to do then drink with my girls. Okay so yes maybe I got upset with how girls acted around Will. I couldn't blame him because he was attractive...Wait!...do...do I like him? I rubbed my temples as the room phone rang. I picked it up. "Hello?" "Hello Miss there is a guest here asking for you at the front desk." "Who?" "His name is William Singe." "Alright I'll be down in a minute thank you." I put the phone back and sat up. I looked over to see Rhiannon was still asleep. Kierstien and Arlette were sharing the conjoining room to ours. I was still in my pj shorts and a tank top as I put on my flip flops and walked out the door. I made my way down the hall to the elevator. I looked at the time to see it was 6 am and when I looked outside it was still morning. The elevator doors opened and I walked to the front desk area. I saw Will looking tired but energized as if that was a possibility to be both. "Hey." I said softly trying my best to smile as I had to convince my face to wake up. "Hope I didn't wake you." He said. "You did, but that's okay." I said chuckling. I motioned to him to follow me as we walked over to the dining area and sat down. We ordered breakfast. "So is there any specific reason you woke me up and came to my hotel at 6 am." "Yeah, I wanted to talk about last night." My stomach growled loudly. Our breakfast came to the table and I started shoving my face full of food. "You good mate?" He said chuckling. "Okay so I can't hang with you and Julian because I can only hold so much alcohol before getting completely fucked up!" He laughed as I continued to eat. "So last night?" I asked looking up at him. "What you did yesterday for me...I've never had anyone do that for me and it meant a lot. I barely know how to handle myself when I'm upset yet you managed to comfort me better than anyone I know." I continued to eat not really paying attention as I started drinking coffee in an effort to cure my hangover. "But then last night you completely iced me out at the club. I was wondering if there was something I did wrong?" He said. The truth was I was upset with how many women were throwing themselves at him. I had also seen the tabloids. I knew he was pictured on the news as a bit of a one night stand guy. I just didn't know how to explain why I was upset. Really it had nothing to do with him and everything to do with the way I was treating the situations. "Julia?" he said pulling me out of my thoughts. "Bro I don't know I was so fucked up last night I barely remember getting back to the hotel room." I said looking at him and the expression on his face told me that wasn't what he was wanting to hear. "Was there something else you wanted to talk about?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him. "Yeah actually I wanted to know...." "Please tell me there is more coffee." I heard a groaning voice say as Rhiannon walked over and sat down next to me interrupting our conversation. She grabbed my mug and started drinking it. "Please by all means." I said rolling my eyes at her as I ordered another coffee. "Oh hey Will." Rhiannon said like she hadn't realized he was there. She ordered some breakfast before laying her head on the table. I rubbed her back trying to make her feel better. "I didn't wake you when I left did I?" I asked her and she shook her head. "No. I threw up and then on my way back to the bedroom I saw you were gone and that's when I thought about actually eating something. So I figured you'd be down here trying to cure your hang over as well." Her food came and she started eating. "Sorry Will, you were saying?" "Never mind." He said seeming upset about something. "Oh Will I meant to ask you! How the hell did you learn how to pull like that?" She asked and he looked at her confused. "She wants to know how you managed to get so many women to surround you at once?" I translated Rhiannon to Will. "I didn't mean to. We had money, Julian was offering them drinks and they wanted us to dance with them." He said and Rhiannon leaned forward grinning. "So???" She asked raising her eyebrows at him. "So?" he asked looking at her amused as he chuckled. "Did you get lucky last night?" she asked and I had wanted to know, but I didn't want to ask. "No. I don't like bringing girls from the clubs home." He said. "Good most of them weren't good picks anyways." She said as she sipped her coffee. "Rhia!" I said chuckling. "What?? Girl you are hungover and just woke up and you still look a thousand times better than any of them hoes last night." I just shook my head chuckling. "She's right though." Will said and I looked at him confused, but smiling. "Of course I'm right bitch!" Rhiannon said and we all just laughed. I went to go pay for breakfast, but Will had already paid for it. "You didn't have to do that." I said and he shrugged. "Julian and I got you guys fucked up last night. Least I can do is take care of you all." He said. "I'm not complaining." Rhiannon chimed in and we all laughed. "Alright I have to go get changed. I promised to pick Conor up at the airport this evening. I wanted him on vacation with me." She walked off and I chuckled as I shook my head. "Can we go for a walk?" "Does it have to be far I don't even have a bra on." He looked down at my chest. "Hey! Eyes up here." "We would just be walking around the pool in the courtyard." I nodded and walked outside with him. He was acting really strange and I didn't know why. "Hey is everything okay?" I asked him concerned. He turned to look at me. "I can't sleep. I haven't been eating. I feel like I can't breath and my heart is racing." He said and he was looking at me. "Have you thought about telling your mom this and going to see a doctor?" I said gently taking his wrist in my hand. "I did tell my mom. She said that the only way I would be able to get through this is if I got the truth out in the open." I was getting more worried about him by the minute and also more confused. "The reason why I'm telling you is because you're my friend and a really good listener." I felt pain in my heart when he called me his friend. Was that all he thought of us? After the intimate moment we shared while I was comforting him that's all I was? A friend? I mean we had kissed several times before, but what if I was just setting myself up for heart break? What if he really was a player and I was bound to be another ex? "The other reason why I'm telling you this is because I've...I've fallen in love with you." I looked at him and laughed. It wasn't the reaction I had intended to happen, but it's the reaction that happened when I was nervous. "I'm so sorry!" I said stopping myself from laughing. "You think you're in love with me? Are you still drunk?" I asked in a joking manner, but he looked seriously hurt. Okay Julia maybe not the best time for your jokes. He took my hand and placed it over his heart. I could practically feel it racing. "Does this seem like a joke to you?!?" He yelled with tears in his eyes. "Will, I'm sorry I..." "You know what?? Forget it! Forget I said anything! Clearly you don't feel the same way so I don't see why I even bothered." He said as he turned his back on me and started to walk back towards the hotel. I jogged over and grabbed his wrist as I turned him to face me and pulled him in for a kiss. He was confused at first, but eventually relaxed into it and rested his hands on my hips. I pulled away and buried my head in his chest. "I do love you, but I'm scared that if I let myself get too close you will be exactly the guy I thought you would be when I first met you." I said softly as I kept my eyes shut tightly. He wrapped his arms around me and rested his chin on my head. "Then give me the chance to prove you wrong. Please, Julia." Was I going crazy or was the most beautiful man I had ever met begging me to let him love me? I wrapped my arms around him, not exactly sure as to what to say. "Please." He whispered again and this time he placed his hands on either side of my face and kissed my forehead, cheeks, eye lids, nose, and lips. After he pulled away I hugged him tightly. "Okay." I whispered and he picked me up and spun me around while we were hugging. "I'm supposed to go see Alex and his family. So let me go get dressed and we can head out together." "Okay." He said as we walked back inside. We got to my room and I saw Rhiannon was already gone. I looked through my clothes and found something descent to wear. I heard a knock on our room door. "Will can you get that please?" I asked and he opened the doors connecting our rooms. I started working on my makeup as Kierstien came into the room looking antsy as hell. "Kiers you good?" "This is the first time I'm meeting his family!" She said as she paced. "You let them at the airport." "Briefly! Do I look okay?" She asked sounding worried and I turned and gave her a one over looking at her outfit.
