Promise Not to Break My Little Heart or Leave Me All Alone

We were just sitting there, quietly watching the scenery. He suddenly fumbled with his pocket. He looked like he was getting something.

“Sorry, someone’s calling me” he said as he reached out for his phone

I nodded and looked back to the beach

“Hello?” I hear him say and then there was mumbling in the phone.

“I am fine OK? Just leave me alone first. I wanna relax during the break. I don’t even want to think of anything that reminds me of work ok?” he said sternly

Maybe he was on a break and this person was talking to him about work.

“I don’t care what he thinks. I’ll do what I want” he said seriously and shut his phone

He looked at me “I am sorry about that”

“Sure” I smile at him.

I wonder what that phone call was about. He all of a sudden looked pissed about something.

“I think I have to get back to the hotel now. It’s getting dark” I mutter as I stand up

“Oh, why? Cant you stay longer?” He held my hand and tried to pull me down again

“No, I don’t think so.” I laugh

“Can I walk you to your room? Which hotel are you staying in?” he asked

“Oh, the nearest one. I think it’s called Crestwood Suites. I am not good with remembering names”

“Really? I stay there also. I think it’s called that. I mean, it’s the only hotel near here”

“So I guess you can walk me there”

“Good.” He said and stood up

“Let’s go”

We slowly walked to the hotel and I punched my floor number.

“You’re on the seventh floor?” he asked

“Yeah”

“That’s my floor as well”

“Are you serious? What a coincidence. I’ve never seen you around this floor” I say, astounded.

I mean, it was sort of weird already that we were in the same hotel what more on the same floor?

“Yeah. This is strange” he muttered

“I am room 400” I tell him

“I am 408” he said at the same time

“You’re just seven doors away from me?!” we both ask each other at the same time

We look at each other and then laughed. This is really freaky.

“I feel weird” he said

“Me too” I whispered

“I guess we are meant spend this vacation together” he said teasingly

I roll my eyes

“Whatever Ryan” I say and step out of the elevator

“I’ll see you tomorrow OK? From now on, I’ll be your, uh, hmm, what can I call it? Holiday mate?”

I laugh at this. Was he serious?

“What the hell is a holiday mate?” I ask

“Well, it’s like, uh, the person you spend time with when you’re alone in a vacation?” he said with an unsure tone

“Never heard of that”

“Well, because I just invented it like a minute ago” he said seriously

“Are you trying to be funny?” I said giggling a bit

“What? You only noticed now?” he grinned as we walk to our rooms

I am really getting too comfortable with him.
