"We must understand that sadness is an ocean, and sometimes we drown, while other days we are forced to swim."

I took a small sip of my drink trying to avoid talking the best I could. My cheeks were on fire, I didn't know it was possible for someone to have that much control over my feelings, and right now I was embarrassed. Probably the most embarrassed I've been in my life. Here I was, sitting in front of the most attractive man I've ever seen in my life, a stuttering and red mess.

"I think I'm gonna get going back to the hotel, maybe we could meet up?" He offered making my heart drop. This was already going bad and he wanted to meet up again? I didn't know how to process words as he stared at me for an answer. I looked away from his burning stare feeling as though I was about to faint.

"Uh yeah sure." I sputtered with a pathetic smile. He nodded.

"You know my room number, come there I promise you can trust me." He said lowly with a slight smirk. I didn't feeling fully convinced, actually not at all convinced but I was too afraid to turn down the offer. And a small part of me didn't hate the idea that much, spending time with someone who wouldn't spare me a glance in other circumstances.

I watched as he stood up, his lean figure fully exposed. I scanned my eyes along his simple white T-shirt and grey sweats, along with his golden chain he wore yesterday. It was simple but added so much to the outfit, like a necessity. He grabbed his drink turning away from me and out the small doors. I sat there flustered and relieved he was finally gone and I could settle down without my nerves going haywire. I was not good with guys especially not insanely good looking ones and that whole interaction proved it.

I looked down at my muffin that was half way finished. I had suddenly lost my appetite due to the embarrassment I had to endure. I sighed heavily going to throw the rest of it away. I made sure Rosemary wasn't around cause I didn't feel like explaining why I wasn't hungry anymore and feel guilty. I walked back to the table grabbing my hot chocolate.

"I'm heading out Rosemary." I called out waiting for a response. Soon enough she appeared in front of me with her arms open, smiling. I smiled into the hug, knowing how much I'd miss her soon.

"Come back soon Kairi and bring your mom, I mean it." She glared at my playfully in which I agreed.

"Definitely." With that we exchanged goodbyes and I headed out the door. I got in my car turning on the radio knowing I had to head back to the hotel. I really didn't want Mattia to be there when I got back, maybe I make up an excuse and say I had to watch the front desk instead of my mom. I sighed, disregarding the thought. I guess I'd just have to muster up the courage to face him as much as I hated the idea.

-

"no no no." I mumbled nervously walking towards the hotel entrance. The rain was beating down on me, causing me to shiver but all I could think about was how I was going to Mattias room. I knew I couldn't back out cause I'd still have to face him for the rest of the two weeks.

"Hi my boy, did you have fun." My mom greeted me immediately.

"Yeah I visited Rosemary, she misses you." I said watching as her expression lit up with excitement at the mention.

"Really? I have to go see her , hows she doing?" She asked with her attention fully fixated on me.

"She's great, she told me to tell you to come to the cafe soon." I smiled watching as she did the same, probably happy someone wanted her company besides me. I would feel the same, as of now me and my mom were all each other had.

"I definitely will...well you can head to your room if you'd like I'm still busy here." She said matter of factly looking back at the computer making my breath hitch. I quickly turned away walking towards the elevator. I felt as though I could have a panic attack right then and there but I tried my best to calm down, steadying my breathing. Room eleven on the first floor. I still remember from the first day he checked in.

The elevator ride ended quickly, dinging when it hit the first floor. The usual pale white color of the walls invaded my vision as I took a step out into the halls towards room eleven. I probably looked stupid as I took breaks in between steps, trying to stall the best I could. Eventually I stopped In front of the rusted down door, staring at the room number as though It would magically change and I could leave. But that wasn't the case. With a shaky hand I timidly knocked on the door feeling my heart beat out of my chest. I waited a second before I heard rustling coming from the other side.

The door opened exposing the very person that were making my nerves run wild especially in this very moment.

"Hi cutie I was missing you." He smirked looking at me intensively. I blushed at his choice of words, meeting his dark eyes that didn't cease from the intense stare.
