The plane landed right on schedule, and they got to the Marriott Hotel by six pm. Courtney and Hayden were given room 640, and Duncan was given room 620. Duncan made sure he said his room name aloud when it was given to him, so that Courtney would pick it up, and maybe pop into his room later. Courtney was still very quiet, except for her thank yous to the bellhop for carrying her bags around. She just didn't feel like talking. She wanted Hayden to feel her anger, and know just exactly what he would be getting into if he married her.

For dinner, Hayden and Courtney ordered room service. Courtney ordered the most expensive thing on the menu, since Hayden said he would be paying. She ordered the buttered lobster tails with the side of baked potato and penne pasta. They ate their dinner while watching Say Anything on TV. Courtney thought that after dinner she would start talking to him again, but only because she didn't want her attitude to seem too suspicious. Courtney only got through half of her meal because the food was too much for her to eat. She sat back on the couch. "I really love this movie." She said to Hayden. Hayden looked at her and smiled, he was so glad she was talking to him again without yelling, and he was just happy she was talking to him in general.

"It's a very good movie." Hayden replied, he placed his arm around her, and Courtney stared at it. To Hayden she looked scared, like he had gone into some kind of forbidden territory, and he knew something was wrong when Courtney slid further away out of his reach. Courtney sighed, it was seriously going to be useless.

When Hayden and Courtney both decided to go to sleep, Courtney chose to stay awake, staring at the ceiling in her bed. She was so glad that she and Hayden requested separate beds. His snores were loud and obnoxious, and now she only wished they had requested separate rooms. She wanted so much to just get up and go to see Duncan, but she wasn't sure if that was the best idea, she really had nothing to say to him. She just wanted to be with him was all, but what if he thought it was weird if she showed up and didn't say anything? Maybe he just wanted to be with her too, maybe that's why he repeated his room number loudly at check in, he obviously wanted her to hear it.

Duncan was sitting in his room watching TV drinking a beer. It was one in the morning. He was still hoping Courtney was going to show up, but for some reason he knew she most likely wasn't going to. Maybe she hadn't heard him practically yell his room number out when the lady gave it to him. Maybe she regretted the kiss and was feeling some serious guilt about it. There was a knock at Duncan's door. Duncan knew who it was going to be, and he was right, there was his Courtney standing in the doorway. "I couldn't sleep." Courtney said, smiling.

"You've come to the right place." Duncan replied. Courtney walked into his room and Duncan closed the door, they both took a seat on the couch. The couch in this hotel was smaller, so they sat closer together. "I almost thought you weren't gonna show." Duncan took a sip of his beer. Courtney reached over and grabbed his beer and took a sip herself. Duncan laughed. "Didn't picture you being a beer drinker."

"I'm just full of surprises." Courtney laughed out in reply.

"You seem in a better mood. Let me guess, it must be me." Courtney knew his statement was true, she was in a better mood because she was with him.

"How did you guess?" Courtney replied, adding a hint of sarcasm so that he wouldn't think her response was entirely true. Courtney sighed. "I swear, it's like being in prison sharing a room with that guy, he snores so loud." Duncan laughed, they did snore loud in prison..

"Well, I'm sure Hayden's snores aren't anything too close to that in prison."

"You ought to know out of anyone." Courtney smiled.

"Yeah, I guess you're right about that." There was silence for a really long time after that. The two of them just sat, watching The Godfather on HBO. Courtney never took a liking to that movie, but she watched it anyway. Sleepiness tingled Courtney's drooping eyelids. She felt like going back to her room, but she figured she could fight off the sleep. But then she thought of her experience the night before when Hayden nearly caught her being in Duncan's hotel room. She couldn't believe she was risking being caught again. Her mind wandered through the many possibilities of the outcome of getting caught, but sleep caught up to her, and before she knew it, she was out.

Duncan finished his beer and looked over to Courtney. Her head was leaning against her own shoulder, sleeping. He shook her a little, but she didn't wake up. She was sound asleep. He decided to let her sleep for awhile, thinking that he would wake her up an hour from then. Duncan leaned to the side and placed his head on his hand on the arm of the couch. He watched Courtney sleep. She looked so peaceful, it was starting to make him tired, but he knew he couldn't fall asleep he had to wake her up or else she would be terribly angry when she got up herself...

The morning sun tickled Courtney's face. She drearily sat up and looked around. "Oh, shit." She said to herself. She looked down, she had been sleeping against Duncan on his couch in his room and it was morning! Duncan himself was sound asleep, snoring. Courtney looked out the window behind her, the sun was up and shining. She quickly stumbled up off the couch rushing into the bedroom to check the time. It was seven in the morning. "Shit!" Courtney yelled. She ran into the room that Duncan was sleeping in, and saw him now completely awake, sitting up. "I can't believe I fell asleep!" She yelled to Duncan. "Why didn't you wake me up?!" She stared at him for a long time before he finally said something.

"I was only going to let you sleep until the movie was over, which was just an hour, but I fell asleep too. Sorry." Duncan wasn't in the mood to fight back as much as he'd like to, he was so tired.

"Well a lot of good you were! I can't believe-" Courtney trailed off, and stopped yelling. Her expression lightened up a little. She looked at Duncan who was looking at the ground rubbing his hand against the back of his neck. "What am I saying?" Courtney asked softly. "This isn't your fault it's mine! I should have known better than to have fallen asleep, oh my gosh, how could I let this happen. Goes to show you what happens when my feelings override my conscience." Duncan's head shot up and he looked directly at Courtney. He may not have been listening to her rambling earlier, but he most certainly caught that last part. Her feelings. Those two words meant so much to him. It meant fact that Courtney had come to him at night wasn't only because she was having trouble sleeping, that the kiss they shared actually meant something, and that he had her right where he wanted her. Duncan was about to ask her about what she just said, but Courtney's face was just too shocked. It seemed to Duncan that Courtney didn't want him to have heard what she just said, so he decided to just keep his big mouth shut no matter how tempting it was.

Courtney was angry with herself for letting her thoughts slip like that, it so wasn't like her. She watched Duncan carefully, with a surprised look on her face watching as he opened his mouth to say something, but then quickly change his mind. Courtney turned away. "Um, I should probably go, I mean we do have that signing today, and what not." Courtney went towards the door but stopped when she reached for the knob. She looked back over at Duncan. "Uh, Duncan, would you mind peeping your head out to make sure no one is out there, you know like Hayden or Cynthia," She looked a little worried.

"Anything for you, Princess," Duncan replied standing up and walking to the door. Courtney took a step back and watched as Duncan peeped his head out the door for a few moments. Duncan didn't see anyone. "You're good to go." Duncan said taking his head out of the doorway. Courtney looked relieved and smiled.

"Thank you," she came closer to Duncan and hugged him. He hugged her back, squeezing her extra tight.

"Really, it's no problem. I'm always gonna be here for you." Duncan replied honestly, because he knew no matter what that he definitely would. He was just silently praying she wouldn't get caught by Hayden sneaking to him at night, especially considering it would mostly be his fault. He wasn't sure how he would cope if he wasn't able to see Courtney again. He wondered if she would stop seeing him if Hayden told her not to...

"Well, I'll see you when it's time to get to our signing later." Courtney said breaking off the hug and walking out the door.

"Yeah, I'll see you." Duncan replied. He watched as the door closed behind her. And after the thoughts he had just shared with himself, he wondered if it could possibly be the last time he ever would ever be able to hug his princess again.
