Valen doesn’t take no for an answer.

“It’s going to be a really busy day.”

“There’s a rooftop restaurant. We could have breakfast and watch the sunrise.”

Go, Valen. That was a good one.

“Okay.”

The breathy whisper can barely be heard back where I’m sitting.

“I’ll be right here at six am to pick you up.”

“Okay.”

Did I sound that nervous and timid when I first met Vex? Probably.

“And Piper.”

“Yeah.”

“Dream about me tonight, because I’ll be dreaming of you.”

Wow! Now that was a line. If only I wrote romance novels.

Like the completely mature woman I am, I pull my phone out and message Vex.

Me: Do you dream about me?

Vex: Dahl?

Just answer the question.

Me: Do you dream about me?

Vex: That’s not a question you ask a man when you’re states away.

Me: Is that like your rules about no kissing on the stairs or more like the no kissing in bed thing?

Vex: Dahl

I barely hold in a giggle.

Vex: Are you alone?

Me: Nope. Everyone is in my suite doing sprints.

Except for Piper, who is currently probably staring at Valen as he walks away. That’s what I’d be doing.

Vex: Are you ever going to bed tonight?

Me: Nope. Colin just ordered us a midnight snack from room service.

Vex: Colin!?!

Vex: Why is there a man in your room after midnight?

Me: LOL. Colin is officially unofficially one of the girls. He had no choice. The girls and I talked about you for two hours this evening.
