Robert and my mom were waiting for me at the restaurant. Apparently, they want to have breakfast with me. My mom spotted me and gestured to come to their table. I did.

"Good morning, honey. How was your sleep?" She asked.

I huffed, "It's not a girl."

My mom's eyes widened, "A man?"

I nodded.

"Who?" My mom asked.

I sighed, "Raleigh Becket..."

My mom's eyes almost popped out, "WHAT?! He's sleeping with you?!"

I rolled my eyes, "Yes. But... not like that..."

Robert and my mom both looked at each other. Robert turned his head to me, "Why don't you invite him to our family dinner this evening?" He asked.

"What family dinner. No one told me about that..." I said.

My mom rolled her eyes, "Well, we're telling you now. Go tell him to come, we'll be expecting him." My mom ate a bit of her skillet.

"Bu-"

"No buts. He's coming." My mom stated.

I crossed my arms over my chest and leaned back. Sometimes, I hate my life. "You better be showing him around this place." My mom warned me.

I rolled my eyes, "I am."

"Good. That's my daughter." She said with a proud smile.

I shook my head and stood up, "I can't take this anymore..."

"But honey, your breakfast isn't here yet." My mom said.

I shook my head, "No. I'm not hungry anymore." I glanced at them before I left, "Have a nice day..."

"Honey wait..." My mom called after me.

I didn't wait.

I stepped into my hotel room. Raleigh was only in his Abercrombie and Fitch sweat pants, eating room service with the television on. I rolled my eyes and pointed at his food, "That's going to go on Robert's pay check." I said.

Raleigh raised an eyebrow, "Isn't that a good thing for you?" He said between chewing his food.

I shrugged, "Probably..."

Raleigh lifted his head and grinned at me. I couldn't stop staring at his stomach. God, that six pack was really appealing to me. I tore my eyes away from his stomach before he could notice and looked at my feet, "So, uh... my mom and Robert invited you to a family dinner tonight..."

"Sounds good." Raleigh simply said.

I looked up at him, "That's it? 'Sounds good'?!"

He nodded, slowly. I gave him a little laugh and walked towards the bed. I flopped down and looked over to the window, not towards Raleigh. I heard his fork and plate made contact and the plate settled down on the table. I felt his warm body coming towards me. I turned and looked at him, my hair was blocking my right eye. He sighed and brushed my hair over my ear, that made my skin prickle, my cheeks turning red.

"When are you going to tell me what happened..." He whispered to me.

Flash backs came back into my mind. The shouting, the torturing, the bully. Everything came back. As I sunk deeper and deeper into my thoughts, little drops of tears rolled down my cheek. I shook my head and covered my face with arms, "Let's just say... th-that I... h-had a b-bad child... hood." I spoke between gasps.

Raleigh's hand moved down to my waist, "Caroline..." He said then paused. "Caroline. Look at me." He said. His voice was sharp, urgent but gentle and soft at the same time.

I sat up and sighed. I ran my hands down my face, wiping my tears away. I turned and met Raleigh's eyes. He looked worried and concerned.

"The past is the past..." Raleigh said, "We just got to let it go, and move on..."

I sniffed, "How do you know what it feels like."

He came closer and wrapped his warm arms around me, forming a hug, "Trust me... I know..."

I cried into his chest and he held me tighter. We stayed like that for a few minutes. Just holding each other and sinking into our own thoughts. I let go and sniffed, "So, uh... are you coming to the dinner? Lucy, Luke, mom and Robert are going to be there..." I said, trying to change the subject.

Raleigh nodded, "Are you going to be there?"

"Only if you are." I smiled. I looked down at his chest and rolled my eyes, "Put a shirt on will you?" I said while I threw a pillow at him. He chuckled.

"Wow..." Raleigh said. He was on the edge of a rock, scanning the view of the Grand Canyon. Luckily, it was only us, we walked a little ways to get to this perfect spot to see the Grand Canyon.

I walked up behind him and looked down at the amazing view. Those different colors of rocks were everywhere, the Colorado river meandering between the rocks. I coughed, "Do you um... do you want a picture with the Canyon?" I asked nervously.

Raleigh tore his eyes off the scenery and looked over at me, "With you?" He asked.

I shrugged, "If you want." I grabbed my iPhone and flipped it over to camera. I walked towards him and shook my iPhone towards him. He smiled, "So, do you want me to be in the shot?"

He nodded. I stopped in front of him and flipped the iPhone camera towards us, I looked back at Raleigh's face and looked at the iPhone camera, "Smile!" I said. I snapped a shot and then another and didn't realize that Raleigh had one arm around my waist until I stepped back to look at the photos.

The two photos were very similar. It was Raleigh and I smiling and behind us, the beautiful Grand Canyon. I smiled at how beautiful Raleigh looked behind me, his white teeth showing, his blue eyes glistened in the sun. My head was near his shoulder and I could see a blush that formed when the picture was taken.

"How does it look?" Raleigh said, cutting my thoughts off.

I shot my head up to him, "Uh, looks good." I said.

He raised an eyebrow, "Can I see it?"

I shook my head, "Later."

He chuckled. I smiled at him and looked at his face. My body froze when our eyes connected, everything stopped around us. It felt like it was only us, in this whole world. Those eyes, god those eyes, those beautiful... blue... eyes. Blue eyes, I always thought that I could trust blue eyes... Raleigh's blue eyes? Definitely.

I jumped back when my phone started to ring. My fucking mother. I groaned and answered, "What!" I shouted at her.

"Did you ask him?" My mom asked.

I rolled my eyes, "Yes. He's coming." I said coldly.

"Okay, tha-" I hung up.

I looked at Raleigh who raised an eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and sighed, "Mom." He nodded. I shook my head, "Time to get dressed and head to the big FAMILY dinner!" I turned around and started walking back to the hotel. I heard Raleigh chuckle behind me.

I put a white dress on that had shoulder straps and ended down in the middle of my thighs. I looked through my suitcase and realized that I left my favorite leather jacket back in the hotel.

"Shit..." I whispered.

Raleigh walked out of the bathroom with a navy blue button down shirt and jeans, "What?" He asked.

I shook my head and looked at him, "My leather jacket... I forgot my leather jacket at the hotel. Damn it." I groaned, "That was my most favorite, most expensive leather jacket I ever bought." I slumped down on the couch and sighed.

Raleigh looked at me then back at his suitcase, he was searching for something. I didn't bother looking at him, I just fiddled with my phone which was in my hands.

"Caroline..." Raleigh said. I looked up, he was holding a brown leather jacket, 'Gipsy Danger' and a logo was written on the back of the jacket. I handed it towards me. I shook my head and looked at him, "I can't take that... it's yours..." I said. "Who said you can take it?" He said with a smile.

I shook my head and took the leather jacket, I slipped my arms through the sleeves and sighed. It was bigger than me, I couldn't even see my hands because of the sleeves, the jacket nearly touched my butt but it felt comfortable. I smiled at him, "I'm a Gipsy Danger pilot now" I stuck my tongue at him and he chuckled, "Thanks..." I added.

He nodded, "Don't mention it."

I gave him another small smile and turned to put on some heels that have straps around the ankles. I got up to straighten my dress and I turned to asked Raleigh if he was ready but I froze.

I watched him look out of the window. Everything about him was attractive. I watched how his arm muscles will twitch when ever he ran his hand through his hair. I watched while he settled his hand on his small waist. He was so... beautiful. I shook my head and looked somewhere else.

"You ready?" I asked him, my voice a little shaky.

He turned and looked at me. His hair was a bit messy from his hand, he looked so adorable, "Yeah. Let's do this."

I rolled my eyes and shook my head, "Yeah... let's..."

Robert had made a reservation in the restaurant. I walked in with Raleigh's leather jacket on me and the waitress smiled at us, "How can I help you?" She asked.

"Erm, we're with Robert Letter." I said to her.

She nodded and looked at her computer then looked back at me, "Right this..." Her gaze went to Raleigh, "Raleigh... Becket?!" She asked with a big smile on her face.

Raleigh looked at her, "Hey, how you doing?"

A blush formed on her cheeks, "Erm, I, uh, oh... I'm doing... haha... I uh.."

I rolled my eyes, "Just cut to the chase." I said quickly.

She looked at me, her eyes turned cold and back at Raleigh, "I'm, uh... I'm doing good... haha..."

Raleigh raised his head and gave a small nod.

She grabbed the menus and walked us over to a private room. A few people looked at Raleigh and I. A few pointed at Raleigh and a few whispered something about the leather jacket. I felt nervous, those eyes all staring at us.

Raleigh placed a hand on my shoulder which made me jump, I turned my head behind me but still kept on walking, "You look great in the leather jacket." He whispered to me.

I gave a nervous laugh. "Erm, thanks... I hate it when people stare..." I said to him.

I felt him shrug, "Just ignore it...'

I rolled my eyes, "Stupid rock star."

He chuckled.

We walked into a big room. The table was a long rectangle shape. Robert was sitting at the front and my mom on his right side. Lucy and Luke sat down on the sofa, kissing their faced off. The waitress knocked on the door and my mom and Robert looked up from their conversation. My mom's eyes widened and she stood up, so did Robert.

"Raleigh! How good for you to come here!" My mom said.

I let Raleigh walk in first and I followed behind but the waitress stopped me, she put her hand on my wrist. I turned to look at her, "Can I help you?" I asked.

"Are you his girlfriend?" She asked coldly.

I shook my head, violently. "Hell no." I said.

She gave a sigh of relief, "Thank god."

I nodded, "He's all yours..." I shook her hand off my wrist and walked towards my family.

My mom was still hugging Raleigh, I squeezed through them and looked at Robert. He coughed, "How are you doing, Caroline?" He asked.

I sat on a chair, "Fine."

He nodded his head. I turned to look at Luke and Lucy, "HEY!" I shouted at them. They let go and looked at me, "Don't end up having sex on that sofa." I said strictly.

Lucy rolled her eyes, "That only happens in bed. Everyone knows that."

I raised an eyebrow. I looked over at Raleigh, he was crushed by my mother, "Oh, Raleigh, I'm so glad you came! We were looking forward to seeing you!"

"Uh-huh..." Raleigh said weakly. He sounded like he was running out of air.

"Mom, you're squeezing him to tight." I said to her.

She froze and let go, "Oh, sorry Raleigh." She turned her head to me, "Hello, Caroline."

"Hi." I said shortly.

My mom coughed and looked at both of us, "Well, dinner is going to start soon. Please, everyone, take a seat." She said.

I sat at the furthest end of the table. Robert was at the end of the table. My mom sat on his right and my sister and Luke sat the opposite of my mom. I was one seat away from my mom. Raleigh looked at me and sat down next to me. My mom grabbed his hand, "Oh, Raleigh. I'm so glad you're going to sit next to me." I huffed and blew a strand of hair out of my face. With in seconds, the food came. Starters. We had garden salad. I never liked salad but to be polite, I ate a bit. Then we had my favorite french onion soup that I gobbled down quickly. I noticed Raleigh watching me. I turned to him. My mouth stuffed with the soup, "What?" I asked. He chuckled and looked down at his soup. It was silent for a bit until Robert finished his glass of wine and looked at Raleigh, "So, Raleigh." Raleigh looked up.

"My company is building a new Jaegar for you." He said proudly. He never told me that. Raleigh seemed impressed, "Gipsy danger. 2.0." Robert finished.

"Wow..." Raleigh said.

"Can I see you?" I blurted out. Everyone looked at me. I didn't even know why I said that, "Can I see it? The jaegar?" I repeated myself.

"Caroline... of course you can see it." My mom said with surprised.

I smiled at my soup, "Where?"

"They're shipping it to Hong Kong, it will be stored in the shatterdome." Robert simply said.

"I'm going." I said.

"Well, Raleigh should be the one going." My mom said.

I shrugged, "Can't we go together?"

My mom's eyes widened, "Really? Would you like to do that Raleigh?" She asked.

He nodded, "Sure, why not."

Robert coughed and we all looked at him, I looked at Luke and Lucy starting a make out. I clapped my hands at them and they jumped and let go. I gave them a stern look. "Well, I could book you guys a flight to Hong Kong. Spend a few days there."

I laughed, "A few days? Why not 2 weeks? Always wanted to know what Asia was like." I said.

My mom raised an eyebrow, "Alright. 2 weeks. Just you and Raleigh?"

I nodded and looked at Lucy and Luke, "All they're going to do is have sex anywhere they find."

My mom tilted her head in agreement, "Well, okay then."

Our main course was steak with mash potatoes and gravy. It was delicious. Then, our dessert was pecan pie. Just like when my mom use to make when I was young. Not anymore though... our conversations only lead to what we should see in Hong Kong, what we need to do when we see the new jaegar and how we should behave... especially me. Our flight was leaving tomorrow around 9 p.m. and we will be flying Asiana. A korean airline. Robert still wouldn't let us use his private jet. The flight was going to be 14 or 15 hours since Hong Kong is on the other side of the world. We got the last few business class seats and that was good enough for me.

After dinner, Lucy and Luke quickly went into their rooms to do what ever they wanted to do. My mom thanked Raleigh for coming and Robert shook his hand. I rolled my eyes and headed to the nearest book store. Something caught my eye, a dream catcher. I walked in and touched the silky material that was around the ring and hanging down that connected with feathers. The web was gorgeous, I didn't even know how native american made them. There was a tag. I looked at it. It said that a dream catcher catches good dreams and catches bad dreams. The bad dreams go into the middle where a hole is find in the web and it gets caught and burns. The good dreams goes down to the feathers, where someday, it may come true.

"Want one?" Someone said behind me.

I turned and looked at Raleigh. I smiled at the ground and shook my head, "No. It's fine."

He walked up to me, "What's your favorite color? Orange? Just like the canyon?"

I looked up at him, an eyebrow raised, "How did you know?"

He shrugged, "Figures. You love this place so much. You stayed here for 6 years."

I laughed and watched him grab a orange dream catcher. He went up to the cashier and gave her a 20 dollar bill. He only got a 4 dollar change. Wow. He smiled at me as he walked towards me and handed me the dream catcher. I shook my head, "Come on... you shouldn't have done that..."

He laughed, "Well, I did do it for a beautiful girl like you..." He ran a finger through my hair.

I looked up at his turquoise eyes. Those eyes looked like they were smiling. Smiling for me. I took the dream catcher and thanked him. Beautiful girl... he just called me a beautiful girl...
