Alexa's Point of View

I was currently in Haley's car on the way to the hotel to set up our stay. I was on the phone with Hamzah.

"Hamzah what do I do?" I asked. "Do I just lie there naked?"

Hamzah busted out laughing, "I don't know."

"As the male you are, would it be enjoyable to see a girl lying naked on a hotel bed she booked for you the second you walked in?"

Hamzah was laughing so hard and then paused, "Wait.. you're serious aren't you?"

"I don't know!" I exclaimed.

"I think you totally should," Haley winked. "Cherry in your mouth and everything. Fuck it, it's for valentine's."

"She's right," Hamzah said nodding his head.

"You're just saying that because you would die the second you saw Haley like that," I rolled my eyes. "Too bad someone had to move to Canada."

"Shut up Alexa," Hamzah rolled his eyes. "I'll be back to visit in no time. So yes Haley, I am expecting the cherry in your mouth."

"Oh my god," I said facepalming. "Anyways, if you couldn't tell, I'm nervous as hell. I just don't want him to walk in and think I'm desperate and dumb."

"He won't think that," Haley shook her head. "He never sees that side of you because you're always so shy and nervous. It doesn't mean you're desperate. He's gonna love to see you step outside your comfort zone for him."

"I hope so," I said.

"Trust me," She said. "He will."

Haley and I finally arrived at the hotel, "Alright Hamzah. Haley and I are gonna go set up the room. Talk to you later?"

"Show me what it looks like when you're done," Hamzah smiled. "Talk to you later bestie."

I laughed, "Bye bestie."

"Bye Hamzah," Haley grinned over my shoulder.

"Bye Haley," Hamzah smiled, his cheeks turning a light pink.

"Gross," I said and pressed and the end call button gaining an eye roll from Haley.

Haley and I started our way into the hotel to check in. Carrying out bags full of flowers, candles, spa treatments, and lingerie.

After we checked in, we headed into the elevator, "I absolutely hate elevators."

"Why?" Haley asked.

"They're just freaky," I said. "It could seriously just kill us both."

"God you're so morbid sometimes," Haley said.

"Seriously though," I said. "It's freaky."

We continued to the room where Haley put down her bags to be able to scan the card. She picked her bags back up and walked into the room. She held the door open with her foot allowing me to walk in.

We both put down our bags and our hands ran against the dark walls in search of the light switch. Finally, I flicked up a switch and the bright white lights turned on.

"Okay," Haley beamed looking around the suite. "Let's get to decorating!"

She shut the door as I grabbed my bag. I opened it up and grabbed the "Happy Valentine's Day" letter banner and hung it up over the bed.

"You should sprinkle the rose petals right before he gets here," Haley said. "So it's not so messy and in the way of everything."

"Good point," I said as we continued to set up the room.

"This was very nice of you Alexa," Haley said. "He's seriously gonna love it. Don't be so nervous."

"I'm just surprised we got here today after.. everything," I said. "It seems like there was always something going wrong. We never got a break."

"Yeah, outside interferences," Haley rolled her eyes.

"Speaking of," I said. "I saw Ryleigh the other day."

"Really?" She asked as we set up candles all over the room. "What happened?"

"I was shopping for the face masks, candles, and all the other spa stuff. When I left the door, I bumped into her on the way out. She told me she had plans with Aaron for Valentine's Day," I rolled my eyes.

"She seriously needs to stop trying so hard. She looks so dumb," Haley said. "Because look at you now, wearing his name and decorating a hotel room for you two. She's got nothing on you."

"I want to believe that," I laughed nervously as I arranged a flower bouquets in a vase. "I really do. She's just so persistent it's off putting."

"I get what you're saying, but that just makes her insane," Haley said. "The fact that she keeps trying but gets the same outcome of Aaron picking you, she's insane. She needs to take a hint."

"You're right, you're right," I said nodding my head. "I just get so insecure sometimes. It's dumb I know."

"It's not dumb. It's understandable," Haley said.

"Wow thanks Haley," I rolled my eyes.

"Not like that Alexa," Haley said. "Obviously. He wasn't very good to you at first, and it creates trust issues, I get it. But he really is ready now. At least, that's what I am perceiving. Aaron and I have been best friends for practically ever, trust me, he really like you."

"Well he told me he loves me," I said as I flattened out the bedsheets.

"Wait what?" Haley said as she snapped her neck to look at me.

"Yeah," I shrugged. "That isn't bad. Right?"

"Of course not," Haley smiled. "I seriously can't believe that. You're the first girl he's said that to Alexa."

"Wait really?" I asked.

"Yes Alexa," Haley grinned widely.

We took a step back from the room and it looked great.

"Take a picture for Hamzah," I said. "And take notes."

"Oh my god Alexa," She rolled her eyes.

"Seriously Haley. It's always about me. What about you? How are you feeling now that Hamzah is gone?" I asked.

"Upset," Haley shrugged. "I don't even know what to think. I feel so shitty that we never actually got to go on dates or anything because I was just not prioritizing him and now he's gone."

"He'll come home to visit soon," I said reassuringly. "You guys will have an amazing date."

"I hope so," Haley said. "I miss him a lot. But I know you must miss him more, you guy's had way more of a connection. You guys are totally soulmates."

"He's definitely my twin flame," I nodded. "But don't let that belittle your feelings."

Haley gave me a hug, "You're gonna do great tonight."

"I'm so nervous," I said as I looked down at my phone. "He should be here in an hour."

"Then you better go get ready," Haley smiled. "Bye Lex. Love you!"

"Love you to Hales," I said. "Thank you for all your help."

"Of course," She winked. "Text me!"

"I will," I smiled as she left.

I quickly did my hair and my makeup. I scavenged the bag for the box Haley said was a surprise she got me. Finally opening it, it was a lingerie set from Victoria's Secret.

"Oh my god Haley," I whispered to myself.

I got dressed in the set and put a red fluffy robe overtop so I wasn't so exposed as I spread the petals all throughout the room.

And here I am decorating a hotel room for Aaron Hull.

***

It was now seven o'clock. He was supposed to be here an hour ago. I called Aaron for a second time now, going straight to voicemail. I lied back in the bed and waited for him.

***

I woke up the next morning. Aaron never showed up. I woke up shivering in the lingerie as the air conditioning was blasting.

I picked up my phone and dialed Aaron. I anxiously waited as it rung and rung.

"Hello?" His groggy voice mumbled through the phone.

"Hello? That's it?" I practically yelled through the phone.

"Alexa? Oh shit Alexa," He said sounding more awake.

"No Fuck you Aaron. How could you tell me you love me and do this to me? You just went AWOL last night. I spent so much time setting this up. I put so much into this. My nerves were eating me alive to see your reaction and you ruined it all! You can never let things just be good! You always gotta go and fuck it up and do whatever you were doing that was just so much more important than the night I had planned for us. After everything, this is how you treat me. You couldn't even call or text to tell me you couldn't show up? What the fuck Aaron. I swear that you pushed me to this. I'm so done with you and there is no coming back from this!"

My tears blurred my vision as I pulled my phone away from my ear to hang up. 

"Wait Ale-"

I hung up the phone and proceeded to block him as I trashed the hotel room. In tears, I tore down the banner. I knocked over all the candles and threw all the spa treatments in the garbage. I sat on the bed in hysterics, surrounded by rose petals.
