Down the Rabbit Hole (Stuck On You)

Chapter 26: LA

The next two weeks were spent polishing up the routine for the charity ball. Hayden and I made sure that I wouldn't be all bruised up before our performance; that would be embarrassing. Finally, we were checking into our hotel in Los Angeles... all six of us. Sophia wasn't allowed to go for obvious reasons. She wasn't a part of the crew anyway. I swiped the card against the door and pushed it open. Hayden dragged my bag along with his and walked in as well. I could already tell that this was going to be fun. I'd been to the charity ball a million times but this was different. Hayden was with me. I let out a huge sigh as I smiled.

"This is going to be good for us," I predicted. Hayden smiled and kissed me gently.

"As long as I'm with you, I don't care where we are," he said sweetly. I pretended to gag which earned me Hayden's full attention. He picked me up and tossed me onto the bed. I squealed before I landed on the soft comforter. I laughed and just laid there for a while. Hayden chuckled and shook his head before he moved our bags into a corner by the desk. My dad got us a huge suite, complete with a main room, bed room, kitchen, and wash room. My favorite part was the shower. It was large and spacey with a bench seat running across the back. There were three different shower heads coming from each of the walls and then a rainfall type of shower head covering the whole ceiling of the shower. It had lighting effects and music and everything.

"I'm going to go get into the shower," I said, sitting up. I walked to my luggage and grabbed my products before entering the bathroom. I turned the shower on as well as the blue light effect and the Pandora radio. I closed my eyes and smiled lightly as all four showerheads began soaking me with hot water. You can imagine my surprise when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. My smile widened as a shiver ran down my spine. I turned in the fog to see Hayden. He kissed me gently. "You run your water really hot," he said. It didn't seem to be a problem for him though. I shrugged.

like we'd been together for years, not months. After we finished up in the shower, I dressed in some comfortable clothes and plopped down on the bed. I smiled lazily as Hayden got in beside me. He kissed me gently, his

I argued. My words were just words. I couldn't say that I didn't love this right now. Hayden chuckled before he brought his lips to mine. My breathing picked up as I felt his chest rise and fall with his increased breath. My hands were doing the opposite of what I wanted them to do. I found myself gripping his shoulders, bringing him closer to
