"Holding people away from you, and denying yourself love, that doesn't make you strong. If anything, it makes you weaker. Because you're doing it out of fear."
~Sarah Dessen
Taylor's POV
"Thank you very much, ma'am." I smile happily at the woman in her sixties, as she hands me the key to my hotel room.
What are you doing in a hotel when you have a house? you might ask,
Well, I'll explain much later.
The woman smiles back before she points the way. "Go through the left hall the sixth room is room 69 enjoy your stay young miss."
"I will do just that," I reply, putting on my most classy smile ever. I grab my expensive—looking handbag and swing it over my shoulder before walking on.
Back to the earlier question, I'm here because the three Js strictly told me to come here and after much debate, I am here. Where am I? I am in the Five—Star hotel suite, spending our hard—earned $1500 for one night. But as the Js says, price is nothing compared to success.
The three Js: Jack, Josh and Jake, also known as The Snowfall's triplet have been the backbone to all the plans and back up I need and I wouldn't have come up with $1500 if they didn't help me out. Jake
The brain in the family
won $300 from the mathematics competition he did with his mate and gave me the money, Jack
The loud one in the family
and his teammate won the race between the other schools and he handed me his share of $350, Josh
The quiet and reserved in the family
gave me his $200.44 contributions for the summer as he planned on staying home. And I added $650 to the money and we had a total of $1500.44.
But mom doesn't need to know that. That's me in Jack's voice
So generally the Js had been helping me raise the money since the past two months when Jake discovered the Five—Star matchmaking scheme.
The Five—Star hotel has held the reputation of matchmaking for the past 18 years and well the Js and I did more digging till late midnight last night and we discovered more facts about the hotel matchmaking stuff and we took our time to analyse properly not to make any costly mistake.
The matchmaking first took place on the 1st January 1997 and the second 2nd February 1998 and the third 3 March 1999 and so with more digging we came to the discovery that today being the 19th April 2015 the matchmaking is meant to happen today but that's all we know. So I'll just settle in and wait to see how the day goes.
I with the Js have also made further plans on seducing a rich millionaire just in case the matchmaking doesn't go as great as planned.
Call us desperate but when things don't go your way, then you might as well play your way through things. That's me in Jake's voice.
I open the door and walk into the magnificent heavily beautified room and I almost squeal from excitement, I feel so girly, but I'm so gonna take a lot of selfies before checking out tomorrow.
I carefully take a seat on the bed and take off me 5 inches bringing me to my pitiful 5'3 feet and I need to take a quick bath before moving out and seeing the rest of the massive and elegantly pleasant hotel.
I strip and entered into the towel hanging on a hanger close to the door of the bathroom. I wrap the towel around myself singing my favourite Justin Timberlake's song My love
Ain't another woman that can take your spot my—
I hum the music loudly as I step into the bathroom. If there is anything I'm proud of being, it was being a number one fan of Justin Timberlake for fourteen years. He was the first one I fan girl—ed, the first that made me cry, he always had my heart and I did dream like every humble fan that on the day he'd come to me like prince charming and propose to me and I smile brightly probably from overwhelming love will accept.
Well, that dream was crushed when he got engaged in 2011 and got married in 2012, I remember locking myself up in the room and crying over someone who didn't even know I existed. Jack still tease me for that, but I guess you never get over your first love. Justin will always have my heart.
Yeah, because
I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand,
I can see us on the countryside
Sitting on the grass, laying side by side.
You could be my baby, let me make you my lady,
Girl, you amaze me.
Ain't gotta do nothing crazy,
See, all I want you to do is be my love.
So don't give away
My love
So don't give away
My love
So don't give away
Ain't another woman that can take your spot, my love.....
My singing is cut short when the door opens and closes again.
"Who is there," I asked, poking my head out through the door to ask. I get no reply so I guess there's no one there.
No one can be there, I'm the only one with the keys remember? I think to my worrying self.
I continue bathing and when I'm done, I wrap the towel around my small body and walk out of the bathroom. I stop when I saw a MAN lying across MY bed with his arm covering his face. His legs are scattered carelessly all over the bed like he owns it.
No one has the key, no one should have the keys, he broke in, what if he wants to rape you? What if he wants to hurt you?
