Everyone has a secret or two; some are just harder to keep than others. But no matter how hard you try they all end up out in the end.
Chapter 1
"We're here!" Megan exclaimed as the plane set down. "I can't believe we're actually here, I'm so excited!"
"Calm down," Sebastian chuckled at her enthusiasm.
It was Saturday evening and they had just made the trip from Cascadia to compete in the Hampstead Tournament. They had been selected from all the students at Cascadia to represent the school and the junior's tournament.
They sat in their seats chatting about the tournament while waiting for the plane to taxi to the gate. Finally the doors opened and they were allowed to disembark. Sebastian got their carry-ons out of the overhead compartment; he carried Megan's for her. They made their way through the gate toward the luggage carousel. They easily found their bags, and then headed outside to find a cab. They got in and Megan gave the driver the directions to their hotel.
It was late when they pulled up in front of the hotel. Sebastian paid the driver and got their bags out of the trunk. Megan took in everything around them. The hotel was huge, and looked very fancy. Right across the street was the stadium where the tournament would take place.
"Sebastian, look! It's huge!" Megan said pointing towards the stadium, "Let's go check it out," she said excitedly.
"It's late, and I'm hungry. We can go tomorrow." Sebastian said hauling their bags towards the hotel entrance.
"Fine" Megan said. She followed Sebastian into the hotel.
They checked in and then went up to their rooms, which were right next to each other. Sebastian carried Megan's bag into her room for her.
"I'm going to change, the let's go down to dinner" Sebastian said as he left her room.
"Ok, sounds good" Megan responded. She quickly freshened up then explored the room while she waited for Sebastian to come get her for dinner. The bathroom was huge, with beautiful tiles, and had a big tub with jets. The room itself was so nice, a queen size bed, couch, and a mini bar. She went to the window, their rooms were on the front of the hotel so she could see across the street to the stadium, it looked even bigger from here, and she could see some of the courts. She looked around the room again and noticed a door. It must go to Seb's room she thought. She went over and tried the knob, it was open.
"Hey Seb, check it out. We have adjoining rooms" she said opening the door, she instantly blushed bright red. There in front of her was Sebastian standing in his underwear, also blushing. "Sorry!" she said giggling and shut the door. "Hurry up, I'm hungry" she called to him through the door trying unsuccessfully to suppress her laughter.
"Ok, just a minute" he called back.
A few minutes later he knocked on the adjoining door. Megan went and opened it.
"Alright, I'm ready, let's go" he said.
They headed down to the hotel restaurant. "Let's forget that happened, ok?" he said on the way.
"Yeah sure, what happens at the Hampstead stays at the Hampstead" she said laughing.
"Right" he said laughing too.
After dinner they went back up to their rooms. "Want to watch a movie?" Sebastian asked her when they were outside the doors.
"I don't know, we should get to bed, you know, the tournament and all" she replied.
"Come on. We don't have any matches tomorrow, and we should take advantage of the freedom while we have it" he laughed.
"Well… ok, I'm just going to put on my pajamas first" she gave in.
"Ok, knock when you're ready" he told her then went into his room.
Megan went into her room. She put on a tank top and her favourite pajama bottoms, and brushed her teeth. Then she knocked to the adjoining door to Sebastian's room. He opened the door and smiled at her. Her breath caught in her throat, he was standing there in pajama bottoms and an old shirt, but to her he had never looked better. She blushed a bit at her thought.
"So what should we watch?" he asked
"I don't know. What's on?" she said
"Well lets find out" he said. He turned on the TV and sat on his bed. "How about this?" he asked. He had found a movie on one of the channels.
"Sure, I like this one" she said. She went and sat beside him on the bed.
There were some scary parts in the movie, and at one point Megan shrieked and grabbed Sebastian's arm. He laughed, but he had felt something, a spark, when her skin touched his. Megan moved closer to him when there was another part that scared her. He put an arm around her protectively. She smiled, he made her feel so safe, she was starting to admit to herself that she did have feelings for him, and maybe he might feel the same way. The movie went on, and by the end of it they were both asleep, Sebastian with his arm still around Megan.
