Disclaimer: Once again nothing belongs to me except for New Kent which belongs to me, New Kent is a city just like New York, I decided not to use NY because it wasn't the city I envisioned Tom and Kim living, NK for me is a mix between Paris and New York. I will say buildings are more like the ones in Monaco, the streets are more Parisian and lifestyle is more NY. I Know everything's a mess but NY makes me nervous, so I decided to make my own place where I can't make mistakes and it's prettier.

After the guys found their rooms, they went to Tom's room and sit on the bed. The room was small but cozy it had a dresser and a coffee table with a TV on it. Tom was standing next to the window.

"I thought she was going to slap you!" Zack said laughing. "She doesn't take crap from no one"

"It was so funny. I mean who dares treat the great Tom Oliver like that? You have to admit she has guts!" Jason said.

"We're in Ireland; she has no idea who I am, if she knew she wouldn't have dare talk to me like that." Tommy said. No one talk to him the way she did, everyone was afraid of him and she wasn't, that annoy him, he control people with his attitude and they did as he wish but this time that wasn't the case.

"Are you sure she doesn't know who you are? Your family owns almost every single newspaper and magazine in the world! And she has an American accent she has to be from the states." Jason stated.

"Yeah well, I still think she doesn't know who I am, like I said she wouldn't have dared treat me like that. Who the hell comes all the way from the states to live in a small town like this anyway?" Tom wondered.

"You heard what she said; it seems the place belongs to her grandparents." Zack said.

"We'll be here for a week so we have enough time to ask her." Jason said

"So what are we suppose to do in this hell hole? There is nothing to do in here and I'm not staying in my room, the TV doesn't even have cable! " Tom said outraged. He didn't know how people could live in these conditions. "I'm not claustrophobic but I'm starting to become one, this room is like a match box.

"First of all we're lucky the rooms have TV and that's the reason we decided not to stay in 4 star hotels, so we can sightsee like normal tourist do. What's the point of traveling if you plan to stay in the hotel? This way we are inspired to get out of the room. Besides this is different from what we're use to, we just have to give it a go."Jason said.

"If it was for me we wouldn't even be here, this is not my idea of a perfect vacation but I'll try to be more cooperative." Tom said.

"That's a lot coming from you; At least you are giving in finally."Jason said. What Jason didn't know was that he really didn't care at all about the place. The girl downstairs intrigued him; he wanted to get to know her. The only problem was she already had a first bad impression of him and he had to rectify it.

Kim was cleaning some glasses when she saw the boys and the arrogant jerk walking towards her. She though he looked familiar but she still couldn't place him. "Hey guys. Is everything ok?"

Jason smiled "yeah everything is fine. So what people do for fun here?"

"That depends on what you like to do, what piques your interest?" she actually liked Jason and Zach, she didn't understand how could they be friends with Tom, they were so different. Jason and Zack were so layback while Tom was so uptight.

"What do you like to do for fun? We'd like to tried new things. So what do you recommend?" Zack asked.

"Well this is a good place for hiking. You could start in The Wicklow Way, is the most amazing and beautiful place." She said. "That sounds like fun, we rarely sight-see and we never hike" Tom decided to finally break the silence, the guys looked at him like he was going crazy, in all the years they knew each other it was the first time they heard him say something sounded like fun. Kim couldn't figure out this guy, first he was mean and know he's nice. At first she was so mad at him she didn't notice how handsome he was, he really was handsome. "Too bad the guy's bipolar, one moment he's Jekyll and the next he's Hide"she thought.

"Yeah well, you have no idea what you've been missing. I think is evident you don't hike, I mean I can see you work out but I'm pretty sure you do it at a gym. you look like the type that's starts crying when your shoes get dirty." Kim said.

"I don't cry!" Tom said. who this girl thought she was? "Listen you little…"

Jason interrupted him "Tom don't you dare finish that sentence. Please I beg you!"

"Yeah, don't you dare" Kim said laughing she loved to push the guy's buttons.

"Fine, but she started it, I'm trying to be nice and she is making fun of me!" Tom said agitated. This girl was uncontrollable.

"Don't be such a cry baby I was joking. People make jokes sometimes, is ok, you know? laughing is not that hard. You really need to let your guard down otherwise you'll die from a heart attack." Kim said.

"How come you have an American accent?" Tom asked suddenly, changing the whole conversation. He really wanted to know what she was doing here.

She was taken aback she expected him to start screaming. "Because I'm American." She replied. "Isn't it obvious you idiot" she though.

"Yeah, I think my real question is why are you working in this small town? I mean I know a lot of Americans who work in Ireland but they are in Dublin, Cork, Galway you know, known cities."

Even though she didn't like the way he asked her the question, she didn't saw no harm in answering; besides she didn't want to cause more friction between them. "I'm here because this place belongs to my grandparents, they're Irish, every summer I come here and help them with the place, that way I get to see them every year."

"I'm still confuse how come they're here and you're in the states?" Tom asked authoritatively

"Because my mother decided to study in New Kent, there she met my father and voila. Not so hard to understand know right?"

"So you live in NK? What do you do there?" Tom asked. He was excited; they live in the same city.

"Let's play 20 questions later, okay?" She thought it was inappropriate of him to ask so many questions after the way he treated her, either he was trying to rectify himself or he was really bipolar.

Tom was a bit put off because she didn't answer all his questions but he was afraid to scare her off so he didn't push her.

"Is ok. You guys want something to drink or eat before you go?" she asked them.

"No, we're fine, we're not hungry." Jason said.

"Well have fun then. Oh before you go, here," she gave them a map "so you don't get lost"

"Who could get lost in a small place like this?" Tom asked. He noticed his question sounded a bit arrogant and quickly said "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I didn't mean to!"

Kim smiled and said "yeah I know I'm getting use to your arrogance".

"What? I'm not arrogant! I'm just…" he didn't know what to say.

"Yes you are and don't deny it." Jason said. "We should get going if we want to see the place".

"Yeah let's go" Zack said and opened the door, Jason and Tom fallow.

The Wicklow Way trail

"Wow, this place really is amazing! I have never seen anything like this before. We should try this more." Zack said.

"Amazingly I agree with you, it really is amazing." Tom said. He didn't know going hiking could be nice; the place was incredible and peaceful. He was used to city life so this was a nice change of scenery.

"Yeah, Kim was right. So Tom what's up with you?" Jason asked

"What do you mean?"

"You've been acting weird towards Kim; you usually don't ask questions or talk. Are you by any chance attracted to her?" Jason asked mischievously already knowing the answer.

He didn't know he was that obvious "me attracted to her? Are you crazy? You know she is not my type, she works in a pub!" this was almost truth, the idea of him going out with someone that worked at a pub was embarrassing to him, but he really was attracted to her.

"So? You could still be attracted to her. I mean she is so different from the girls you usually date. For starters she doesn't like you, she's nice and pretty, she's not superficial, vain or selfish and I'm pretty sure she is not materialistic either. So you don't have to be afraid of her wanting you for your money." Jason said.

"It doesn't matter because I don't like her and she doesn't like me." Jason knew he was lying.

"I don't believe you." Zach said, " You know she is like an heiress herself." he said joking

"Yeah because being the heir of a pub hotel is the greatest honor ever. My mother will be so proud of me, she'll be so happy when I present her the heiress of Riverside pub B&B!" Tom said sarcastically. He felt sad, because he knew his mother would never accept a girl like Kim.

"That's really not a nice thing to say. You really are an arrogant jerk!" Zack said

"You know our society Zack. You know how it is. No one is going to be proud of me. Everyone will talk behind my back. They will make her life miserable because she doesn't belong. Sorry if I'm being realistic but is the truth." Tom said.

"You're right about some things but you have to live your life, you have to do what makes you happy even if your parents don't like it or the people around you, if people can't accept what you want then they don't really care about you. Is that what you want? To live a life where you only do what others expect of you? Do you really think that's going to make you happy? Is it worth it?" Jason asked.

He knew Jason was right, he didn't want to disappoint his parents but at the end he was disappointing himself. He was living the life his parents wanted him to live, he could have anything he wanted but when it came to society he couldn't break the boundaries because he will be outcast in a heartbeat. He was tired of that lifestyle but what could he do? He could not escape it. He really likes his job. He was afraid of what his father might do. Would he disinherit him? Take away his job? What was he supposed to do if that happened?

"I know you're right and I do like Kim, but there could never be anything between us" he said.

"Why not? She is human, you're human you're not made from different stuff. You're only a bit richer, that's all. To hell with everyone else! Jase and I don't mind if you date her, we won't stop being your friends." Zach said.

"Yeah I mean, what do you want a trophy wife? Someone that doesn't think just spends your money and doesn't exchange your feelings?" Jason said.

"Ok, I get what you're saying but she still doesn't like me and that makes me mad, every woman wants me, how come she doesn't?" Tom asked himself and the guys angrily.

"Oh that's easy she is not attracted to your money or who you are, she wants to be respected and you disrespected her. You have to be nice to her from now on, try to control your temper and no more smart comments, that way she may see you for who you really are and who knows maybe she will fall for you." Zack said.

"Don't worry, we'll help." Jason said Patting Tom on the back.

"We should head back, is getting late." Tom said and the boys agreed.
