I woke up of the sound of the crowd in a stadium screaming and cheering. I lifted my head up and flopped back down on the bed. What was that? I sighed and rolled over on my side and opened my eyes slowly. The curtains were still closed but I heard cars swooshing through the road. I took the white blanket off of me and saw my pink underwear and my white shirt. "Shit." I muttered and quickly ran into the bathroom. I stripped off my clothes and stepped into the warm shower. I sighed in relief of the warm water rushing through my skin, coursing through my veins. I loved that feeling.

After a good and clean rinse, I stepped out and wrapped myself with a towel. I walked out of the bathroom and grabbed a pair of skinny jeans, a cream colored, flowery top and a grey, sweater like jacket. After being fully dressed, I walked out of the bedroom and into the massive living room. I spotted Raleigh relaxing on the couch, watching a soccer game.

"Hey." I simply said, while I rubbed my hand through my half wet hair.

Raleigh turned and smiled at me, "Good morning, sunshine."

I rolled my eyes, "Shut up."

Raleigh sat up and I scooted next to him on the couch. I looked at the T.V screen and immediately got bored. I hated watching sports games, I just wasn't in to it. I looked down at my watch and gasped. It was only 7:09 a.m. God, my jetlag is really going to kill me today. I looked at Raleigh, "What time did you wake up?" I asked.

Raleigh shrugged, "Around 5 or 5:30. I'm not good with jetlag."

I sighed and leaned my head against the couch and closed my eyes. I was suppose to meet Mako in 4 hours down stairs at the lobby. What am I going to do in 4 hours? Read a book? Have break fast? Watch a TV show? Anything? Sleep? I couldn't make up my mind. I looked down at the coffee table and got a breakfast menu. I read it. It sounded amazing. I looked at the Quiche Lorraine. Quiche Lorraine was my favorite kind. I looked down at the bottom of the book for the room service number. Lets just spend all of Robert's money here, since he was loaded. I thought. I walked over to the phone and dialed the number.

"Raleigh, do you want food?" I asked him as I waited for someone to pick up.

"I'll get what you're having." He shrugged.

"Quiche?" I said to him and he nodded.

Someone with a thick Chinese accent came through my ears, "Hello, welcome to room service. How may I help you?"

"Hey, um, I would like 2 Quiche Lorraine and 2 coffees please." I said.

There was a pause then the woman said, "Okay. This will take at least 30 minutes to prepare. It will be delivered to your room."

"Okay, thanks a lot." I said then hung up.

I looked back at Raleigh. He was still silently starring at the soccer game that was currently playing. He still had bed head but he changed into a black sweater and dark green pants. He looked so adorable, but what's with him and the black sweaters?

I walked over to the kitchen to wash my hands, "Caroline." Raleigh said. I looked at him, "Yeah?"

"When you shop with Mako," A smirk forming on his face. Uh oh... "You should buy something that will reveal more skin. You never show anything." Raleigh said.

I rolled my eyes, "And why do I have to do that?"

He got up and walked towards. I stepped back and my back made contact with the fridge. Raleigh stepped close to me and touched my hair, "For me..." Raleigh said, those innocent eyes starring back at me.

I paused for a seconds. Then sighed. Then nodded, "Alright, fine. I'll buy something, expensive." I laughed, "Since I'm going to spend it on Robert's money." I giggled and looked back at Raleigh. He was just starring at me. I sighed again, "Fine fine. I'll buy something that will reveal more skin on me." I said and tried to step around Raleigh but his hands were caught on my waist. I huffed and looked back at me, "What now?" I said.

He leaned his forehead against mine which gave me shiver down my spine, "Promise?" He said. A smirk was on his face.

I looked at his turquoise eyes then sighed, "Okay okay." I whispered.

He then smiled, that gorgeous smile of his and then pecked a small kiss on my nose and walked back to the T.V. What was that for?! I did the most bravest thing I could ever imagined myself doing, "What are we?" I asked.

He looked back at me, "What kind of question is that."

I shot my arms all over the place, trying to explain, "What was that? That little kiss? What does that mean? You kiss me, I kiss you... I mean even we sleep on the same bed! What are we!" I exclaimed. That felt like a weight just dropped off my shoulders. It felt good, all this time, I was always wondering about us. About our relationship, what exactly is our relationship.

Raleigh starred at me. My guess that he was deep in thought, who knows. "Tell you what," Raleigh started, "Let me ask you on a date." He said.

My eyes widened, I held my laughter in my throat, "A date?" I coughed out.

He nodded and walked towards me again. Our toes touched and he looked down at me, "Caroline Oakley," He began, "Would you like to have dinner with me?" He asked.

I coughed again, trying to hold in the laughter. That was pretty fast. I hiccuped a laugh out and coughed again, then I looked at his eyes. His eyes were serious, no laughter and sadness in them. Just serious. That stopped my laughter, it disappeared, fully. I looked down at our toes and realized that he was handing me his hand. I looked back at him and took his hand in mine, "Sure." I said, "Sounds good." I was very casual, my voice didn't go up or down and my blush didn't appear, but deep down inside... I was so excited, finally, a real date with Raleigh, and I didn't even have to ask!

He smiled at me, his white teeth glistened. I smiled back. That went well... I guess...

I turned around after I heard the door bell ring. It must be the room service. I quickly ran to the door and opened it.

"Room service?" The waitress said.

I nodded and let her in. She carried a tray of food and placed it next to the table, "Enjoy!" She said cheerfully.

"Thank you!" I said.

I turned around and I already saw Raleigh sitting on a chair with his food in front of him. He ate a big bite and his eyes turned from URGENT I NEED SOMETHING to Aaaaah... I'm so satisfied now. I couldn't help but giggle by how ridiculous he looked when he was hungry. He noticed me and rolled his eyes, but that didn't stop him from eating like a dog.

Our breakfast was quick. It only took us a matter of minutes to finish our lovely quiches, and gulping down the last drop of Orange juice. I sighed in relief and walked over to rest on the couch. I flipped through the Channel selections and pressed the buttons for HBO. Hong Kong seemed normal... like the US instead ran by England. Most people speak fluent English here... like their first language. Amazing.

White Chicks popped up and I felt a sigh of relief. I always thought it would be a Chinese movie coming up, but one of the most funniest movies are being broadcast now! I heard Raleigh laugh when the movie started. He slowly walked over to me and scooted me aside so I wasn't taking the whole couch to myself.

I looked at him and saw him gleefully staring at me. That small... oh my gosh... that smile... everything from my insides would melt like lava when it comes to that smile of his. While I blushed, I turned over and starred at the TV screening.

Slowly, my mind went off his beautiful smile and into the land of White Chicks...

Our doorbell rang. I looked at my watch and realized that it was 11 o'clock and that must be Mako. I ran towards the door, muttering curses under my breath and I grabbed my bag that had my camera, purse, scarf and wallet. I glanced at myself in the mirror one more time then slipped my flats on and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Mako.

"Mako! Hey! How are you?" I asked her.

She nodded, "I'm doing great, and you?"

"Wonderful." I replied.

"Now, we must hurry, we have a lot of shopping to do!" Mako said with a big smile.

I nodded and started to head out the door when I found that Raleigh was starring at me. I turned to him and smiled, "I'm going okay?"

He nodded, "Be safe."

I nodded and closed the door behind me. Be safe? What? I'm with Mako. Sheesh.

Going down the elevator, into the lobby and into one of the biggest buildings in Hong Kong called IFC, I found myself lost in Mako's stories of her journey with Raleigh in Gipsy Danger. It sounded fantastic yet excruciating. All those Kaijus... everywhere.. and different Jaegers fighting too. Wow...

"I thought that he wasn't suited for the job..." Mako said doubtly to me. "But I eventually found out that he was. He was very caring, his tactics and techniques in fighting were amazing and he was just... such a good soldier... and now, friend." Mako said.

I nodded, "I'm sorry to be nosy but... have you guys ever gone out? Like as in... boyfriend and girlfriend?" I asked.

Mako shrugged, "I don't think so. I'm guessing that he never thought that I would be his girlfriend, he would always treat me as a little sister or a very close friend." Mako said.

I glanced around and stared at shop and Mako noticed. "Let's go in there!" She said. She stopped and glanced at a beautiful plain blue dress. It was plain but the shade of blue was so pretty. It was tight around your figure so you could show off your curves and it only went up to your mid thigh. The straps on the shoulders were very thin but so so beautiful. "That dress is for you." Mako said.

"What?" I said with a laugh. She grabbed my hand without an explanation, "Come on!"

"I look fat in it." I said in the changing room. Mako was waiting outside. "Come on, just open the door and let me see!" She begged. I glanced at myself once more... maybe I felt insecure... maybe I didn't look so fat in it. I gave a loud sigh and opened the door. I heard Mako gasped when she saw me.

"KNEW IT! I LOOK FAT IN IT!" I said and started to run back towards my changing.

Mako grabbed my hand to stop me, "You look.. AMAZING!" She screamed.

I paused and turned back, "I... do?"

She nodded eagerly. "Buy." She simply said.

I looked at myself again. I didn't look too bad in it... maybe it's worth it.

I eventually came out of that shop with a bag that had the blue dress inside.

Mako and I did so many things. Shopping was tiring but also very fun. We bought my dress for the party, Tiffany earrings, Kate Spade bags, UGG boots (Like we needed it), Abercrombie and Fitch tank tops and so much more... it was hard to count all of the bags that I brought back to the hotel room.

I struggled to get my keys. I had to shuffle and drop my bags on the floor and slip through my jeans just to grab it. I opened the door and realized that Raleigh was gone. I settled my bags on the floor and glanced over the kitchen counter. A note.

At the gym on the 4th floor.

Come if you want to.

Raleigh.

So... he's in the gym... I felt an urge of excitement seeping through my veins. Him. In. A. Gym. Should I go? Yes... NO. Wait... maybe... fine.

I walked out, still wearing the same outfit that I put on today and pressed the elevator button. I waited for a few seconds. The elevator arrived and I stepped in and pressed the 4th floor...

The gym smelt sweaty but cool. It was clean and had an amazing view of Hong Kong. I looked around and noticed that Raleigh was... lifting weights.

I carefully walked over him. WHY DID HE HAVE TO BE HALF NAKED? I watched his biceps and triceps flex whenever he lifted the weight, I watched his abs tense when he had pressure on his upper body. I saw his sweaty face. So determined on what he was currently doing.

I stood in front of him until he noticed me. He saw me and hung the weight quickly and got up. He grabbed a towel near him and wiped his face. I dumbly watched him.

"So, how was it?" Raleigh said.

"Wha- Oh um... it was fun. Yeah. We bought a lot of things." I said with a blush.

He nodded his head and got up. He started to walk towards the exit door. "Did I... disturb you, because I can leave so you can go back to whatever you were planning to do next." I said.

He shook his head, "I was about to leave anyway. I need to shower." He said.

I nodded and followed him towards the elevator.

It was silent. A bit too silent. I watched Raleigh fold his arms over his bare chest and looked at me, "Okay, what's up."

I quickly turned away, "Nothing."

"Ah... I see. I'm making you uncomfortable." He smirked.

"NO! Shut up. I didn't say that." I panicked a bit.

He snaked an arm around my waist and I tensed. Stop touching me there. You always do. It makes me nervous... and it makes me feel tingly... He gently pressed his forehead against the side of my face. His nose poked my cheekbone, "Did you buy something nice..." He asked.

I started to blush hard and I gulped hard. "Uh... I'm guessing you will just have to see." I said.

The elevator doors opened and we walked out. I swiped the card across to unlock the door and it gently opened. I walked into our luxurious room and sat down on the couch and turned the television on.

"I'm going to take a shower." Raleigh said.

"Okay." I answered back. He should. He stank.

I sighed and stared at the television screen. Wild Child was playing, is this like a chick flick movie time? I shrugged and stared at the movie, slowly, I got sucked into the world of Wild Child. Again.

"I'm ready." Raleigh said when he walked out of the bedroom. I looked at him and gasped. He was wearing a suit. SHOOOOOOOT, I forgot! Our date! I totally forgot. I quickly got up and ran inside the bedroom.

"Give me a minute!" I shouted.

I grabbed a dress that I bought today. A dress that only had one shoulder strap. It had a warm mixture of colors such as red and orange. I quickly took a quick rinse in the shower. Dried my hair, put some perfume on, put on some mascara, put on some eyeliner and put on some lip gloss. I let the dress fall over me and I combed my hair once again. I got out of the bathroom and slipped into a pair of flats and grabbed my long wallet that I stored in my phone too. I checked my reflection once more and opened the door to the living room. Raleigh was standing in the middle of the floor. His gaze went up and down, from my face to my feet then back up.

"Wow..." He breathed.

I smacked him with my wallet and grabbed his arm and we walked to the door. We exited our room and I looked at him. His amazing, beautiful, turquoise eyes were still staring at me.

"Stop it. Or else I'm not going to wear this ever again." I warned him.

He took a step back and laughed, "Okay. Can I just say one thing? You look beautiful." He said.

I rolled my eyes but couldn't help but to blush, "Yeah yeah."

He shook his head and we entered the elevator.

"So, where are you taking me?" I asked him.

He smirked at me, "A surprise."

Right. It was always surprises.
