The next morning Melody woke and moaned as her head pounded. She opened her eyes and saw the sun beaming through the hotel room. Her head was killing her, her back was killing her and her stomach was turning. She slowly sat up in the bed and felt a large lump laying next to her. She looked over and saw Randy's body laying there. All the memories of her and Randy flooded her mind and she put her hands over her face and slowly and quietly got out of bed. She quickly put on a pair of sweats, a tee shirt, and tennis shoes and left the room. She made her way to the hotel restaurant and found Trish, Amy, Christy, Vince, Stephanie, Shane, Hunter and David all sitting at two tables, pushed together and joined them.

"You look like shit." Vince laughed, handing her a cup of coffee. "Don't drink much?"

"No." Melody replied, ordering a small order of bacon and a biscuit. "I'll be fine after I eat some bread. Old college remedy."

"Where's Randy this morning?" Stephanie asked, looking around the table.

"I don't know he didn't come back to the room last night." David said, shrugging. "He probably passed out in the parking lot."

"If he's not here by the time we're done eating we'll go look for him." Hunter said, continuing his breakfast.

"It's not like Randy to not come back." Vince said, looking around the room before continuing his meal.

Melody cringed thinking of how she would have to see Randy face-to-face. What would she say? What would he say? For some reason Melody hoped it didn't start with it was a big mistake, we were drunk, we didn't know what we were doing.

It wasn't long before she saw him either. Half-way through her meal she saw him walk through the door, smile plastered across his face. Melody kept her gaze on her plate and she continued to drink her second cup of coffee.

"How are you this morning Melody?" Randy asked, looking at her. "You had a lot to drink yesterday."

Melody knew he was referring to her back being slammed up against a door more than her hangover and she felt happiness wash over her as she tried to keep it under wraps.

"I'm fine." She said, finishing her food and standing from the table. "I have to go send an update to my editor."

"When are you leaving?" Vince asked.

"Probably in a few days." Melody said, walking toward the elevator.

The doors were almost closed as Randy stopped them and stepped on next to her.

"We need to talk." Randy said, looking down at her.

"I told you I'm fine." Melody said, pushing her floor button.

"I know you're fine." Randy said, grabbing her arm. "Look at me! I like you I want us to try this. I don't want to be a one night stand."

Melody thought about it, biting her lip nervously.

"Pick me up at 7 and you can take me to dinner." Melody said, stepping off on her floor. And walking toward her door. She was surprised when Randy kissed her lightly on the lips and turned to go in his own door.

Melody entered her room and sent an update on her story to her editor and waited for a reply. It came soon after.

"Melody. I need something more juicy, deep dark secrets. Something shocking. Something hot. Who's sleeping with who, who's cheating on who. Come one girl there has to be some shady stuff going on over there.

Hugs & Kisses"

Melody gritted her teeth how could she fill people in on this and keep Randy's trust. She closed the laptop and began thinking of what she could do to keep both people happy.
