Song is Bubbly by Colbie Cailat =]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I sat on my bed in the hotel room with my guitar in my hands, fiddling about and working on a new song.
"Can you shut up?" my little brother moaned. He was trying to watch TV and I was obviously annoying him with my creative vibe.
"Fine," I put my guitar down and lay down on my bed, go through everything that had happened the past 24 hours. Nate, the boy I'd met on London Bridge yesterday. His dreamy eyes and low, dreamy voice. Not to mention his accent. I sighed.
Suddenly music began blaring from my phone. I looked at the caller ID and the number showed up. I ran into the bathroom for privacy and locked the door.
"Hello?" I felt butterflies in my tummy and a smile grazed my features and I heard the familiar voice I'd been day dreaming about not so long go, it was like music to my ears.
We talked for a long time, I'm not sure how long, but long enough for my mum to order me to get out the bathroom. I told Nate I would phone him back and I made my way out the bathroom, "I'm gonna go wander, see if I can get to know the hotel a bit." I smiled, no-one really paid attention. Before I left the room I saw my brother run towards the toilet with a strained look upon his face, "Finally!" he screamed. I stifled a giggle as I was walking down the corridor.
I phoned Nate back when I was a safe distance from my room. "So would you like to meet up again?" He asked.
"Like on a date?" I blushed, thank goodness we were on the phone.
"Of course," I could almost see the smile on his face and he replied. I walked past the reception and remember I was on holiday. My parents had events planned, they wouldn't let me wiggle out of family time for a boy I'd just met.
"Nate?" I sighed, "I'm holiday, I don't think I'll be able to get out of family trips." All the happiness suddenly left my body and I felt a wave of disappointment wash over me. I slipped into a room and sat down on a large black stool in a dim room. I was sitting behind a big red curtain and it looked like the back of a stage, but it was too dark to tell.
I heard Nate sigh on the other side on the phone, "I know how that feels," We sat in each others silence for a while, each thinking of ways for me to get out of my dreaded family trips.
"I've got it!" I squealed, I heard him laugh at the other end of the phone, "Enlighten me."
"I pretend I'm ill. If I'm really ill they wont take me out." I smiled with satisfaction. This plan was perfect.
"And then when their out I-"
"You can sneak out?" he seemed unsure as he finished my sentence. I grinned, "Precisely."
"I can't let you do that, Eilidh, It's not fair on your family." he seemed sincere.
"Nate?"
"Uh huh?"
"I've got to go, I'm feeling really ill, I think I might be coming down with something. Will I just phone you tomorrow when I'm ready to leave? You can take me to the doctors?" I smiled to myself.
"Pah! Okay, so your stubborn." I heard the smile in his voice, "Okay phone me and I'll come get you from your hotel. We can go for lunch."
"Sounds good to me!" My smile kept growing bigger and bigger, I didn't think it was possible.
"See you tomorrow beautiful," he whispered before the line went dead. I sat in awe for a couple of minutes, unable to move, he was just unbelievable! He was like a dream I'd made up, and suddenly I couldn't wait for tomorrow.
I stood up and peaked behind the big curtain I had been sitting behind only to find a small, pretty stage with a black grade piano sitting at the left corner it. I grazed the tip of my fingers over it, scared I would leave a mark on this beautiful creation. I sat down and began playing a soft tune, working my way into a song I'd been working on. A certain face coming to mind.
Will you count me in?
I've been away for a while now
You got me feeling like a child now
Cause every time I see your bubbly face
I get the tingles in a silly place
It starts in my toes
Then I crinkle my nose
Where ever it goes I always know
That you make me smile
Please stay for a while now
Just take your time where ever you go
I stopped there, I hadn't finished the song yet, but I had a feeling after tomorrow, I would be able to write lyrics without thinking.

I was making my way back to my room when I came by the reception desk again. I spotted a kind-looking woman at the desk and had an idea. "Excuse me?" I asked, she met my gaze and smiled.
"How can I help you?"
"I was wondering if you had a hotel doctor?"
She gave my a strange look before replying, "Yes, why?"
"Would it be possible for my to fake being ill tomorrow and have a doctor come and tell my parents it would be best to have a day in bed?" I flashed her a friendly smile, a knowing smile washed over her face.
"Trying to get out of a family trip?"
"Ah, so you've had customers like me before?" I laughed.
She giggled, covering her mouth in an embarrassed way, "Oh yes we have. That should be no bother, just have your parents call the reception and we'll send one up as soon as possible," She winked at me and returned to her computer to finish her work.
"Thank you," I walked back to my hotel room working on my act. I was sure the rents would fall for it. I repeatedly rubbed my head creating friction and producing heat to make it seem as though had a temperature.
I opened the door to out room, "Mum, I don't feel too well," I moaned gripping my tummy.
