Chapter 5

Adam opened his hotel room quietly as not to wake Jay and Aly up. He laughed at the sight that greeted him. Jay was lying in bed with Alison, his arms protectively around her. He never saw his friend look so happy, even in his sleep. Adam studied Aly’s face, she looked so peaceful and content. Max had told him that Aly was having a hard time with just getting out of a relationship, but wouldn’t tell him what happened. The two looked so serene lying there together. Adam went to his closet as he pulled out some new clothes.

“Hey,” he heard Jay whisper behind him. Adam turned to see Jay silently sit up, making sure not to disturb Aly as he climbed out of bed.

“Sorry man, did I wake you up?” Adam asked quietly as he picked up a hairbrush and ran it through his long blonde hair.

“Yeah, but its ok,” Jay lied. He had been up for about an hour, just enjoying the feel of having Aly in his arms, being able to touch her touch her soft skin and hear her soft breathing-of course, he wouldn’t admit that to Adam.

“Sorry,” Adam said throwing a towel at him, “You better get ready we’ve got to go, we made plans for today.”

“Hold on,” Jay said, “I want to hear what happened between you and Max?”

“We had fun,” Adam said as he pulled on a clean shirt, “She’s an awesome chick, and hopefully we’ll get together again.”

“That’s all you’re gonna tell me?” Jason said raising an eyebrow.

Adam smirked, “Yup, now take your shower so we can go, would you?” Jay flipped Adam off as he walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind him, Adam flopped onto his bed feeling exhausted and stared up at the ceiling. He looked over at the other bed as he heard Alison let out a yawn.

“Morning sunshine,” Adam said smiling from his spot on the bed.

“Hey,” Aly said as she sat up in her bed, “Where’s Jay?”

“Shower,” Adam said as he looked at the magazine Aly had been reading last night.

“Oh,” Aly said a little disappointed, “I’m going to get going then, can you just tell Jay I’ll see him later and thanks?”

“Will do,” Adam said without moving from his spot.

Aly gathered all her clothes and started to leave, “And sorry about last night.”

Adam let out a laugh and shook his head, “No, I’m sorry you had to walk in on that.” Alison laughed as she left and walked down the hall back to her room.

Alison entered her room to see Max standing in her robe, a towel around her head and doing her make-up.

“Hey sweetie,” Max said happily, “How was last night, is Jay your Prince Charming.”

“He’s great,” Aly said, “but first… what was with you and Adam? The first night here and you’re with a guy, how do you do it?”

“Talent,” she joked with a small laugh, applying some lip gloss, “Adam’s great, he’s cool and nice, and soooooooo good looking, and we had some fun, no big deal. So what happened with Jay, I’m dying to find out!”

“He’s an amazing guy,” Aly said flipping onto the bed, “He is so incredible, he took me to dinner and we talked and we made such a connection! Then we drove around for awhile and talked and he is unbelievable, he is so deep and such a good listener and he’s not pushy at all, and…”

Aly sighed as she laid her head back, “I had an awful nightmare about Tom finding me and I woke up crying and he held me, so close, it was like everything else disappears when he holds me. I told him all about Tom and what happened… then I got into bed with him and he held me, I felt so safe and protected wrapped up in his arms… Max… I know I’ve only known him a day…but I think I’m falling in love with him!”

“Don’t be ridiculous Aly, you just met the boy, you trust a little too easy…” Max was interrupted by a knock at the door, Aly jumped up and ran to open the door that was already open a crack.

“Jay,” she said happily as she saw him standing at the door, she opened the door for him to come in,

“Hey,” he said handing her a grey sweatshirt, “You forgot this in my room, I thought you might want it.”

“Thanks,” she said smiling, “I wanted to thank you again for last night,”

“It was nothing, I’m really glad you told me,” he looked over at Max, “Hi, Max right?”

“Yup,” she said, “Nice to meet you Jay.”

“You too,” Jay said, “Adam and I were actually wondering if you guys were busy tonight… We have plans for the day, but we thought maybe you guys would want to go clubbing tonight?”

Aly looked at Max with pleading eyes, “Sure,” Max agreed, “Let’s go clubbing tonight.”

“Great,” Jason said happily, “Adam and I’ll be here for you guys around 9 or so… see you guys then,” he said as he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

“Bye,” she said as she shut the door and looked at Max happily.

He walked back to his room happily, he didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but he had heard the girls’ conversation. He smiled as he thought of what Aly had said, “but I think I’m falling in love with him!”
