I didn't know what to make of this. I brought my hands to his face and lightly touched his cheeks. He slowly opened his eyes and what I saw made me gasp.

His eyes were bright blue with tiny specks of green. He was begging, pleading. He looked so vulnerable. He has never looked at me this way before.

Then he said it again, "I need you, just you."

With that, I felt him stiffen inside me and his hot liquid filled me.

I was speechless after this. He slowly pulled out of meand walked to the bathroom.

I stayed on the bed. In a matter of minutes, I heard the shower running.

When he came out, hehad a towel draped below his lean abs. He was drying his hair with a towel and asked, "Do you want room service, babe? Or you want to go out?"

"Room service is fine," I repliedand headed to the bathroom.

By the time I finished taking a shower and drying my hair, the food had arrived. I saw the tray set up on the dining table. I didn't bring any other clothes so I put on the robe, imprintedwith the hotel’s insignia.

Zander was not in the dining room. I walked towards the living room area to look for him.

He was standing on the side, facing the glass windows.

He must have heard my footsteps, his face turned towards me. "You hungry?"

"A little."

"K, let's eat," hesaid. I walked ahead of him towards the dining room.

We talked about random things during dinner. He ordered carbonara, fries, chicken wings, cheeseburgers, and my favorite, strawberry shake. I had a nagging feeling that he was going through something orthat he was trying to tell me something.

I kept trying to get it out of him by asking "What's up?", "What's on your mind?"

I didn't get a straight answer.

We were almost done with dinner when he asked, "So what are your plans after graduation?"

It was such a simple question; I answered what I had in mind. My plans. This was the first time we were actually talking about my plans. I may have mentioned them vaguely before. I assumed that he had heard of them from my friends. We just never got around to talking about my plans, in specific details.

"Well, I applied for a couple of internships. Remember, I want to do the internshipswhile reviewing for the boards? Hopefully, I’ll work at these places after I pass the boards.”

In nursing, I had the option of taking the exam right away to get my license. But I wanted to take 3 months to do an internship while studying for the exam. I felt that this would give me an edge experience wise.

"Oh yeah? Like where?"

"I applied to some hospitals inNew York, Chicago, and L.A."

As soon as I said this, I saw a muscle started ticking on his left jaw. I didn't know if I had said anything wrong.

"Hmm," he swiftly wiped his mouth with the napkin and continued, “Why those places?"

"Well, I think New York would be great for the experience, Chicago the hospital, and L.A. because I'd be closer to my dad," I said, with enthusiasm.

He looked at me with blazing eyes, his left jaw muscle tic in full force now, joined by a slight twitching of the side of his left eye. He stood up to his full height, "Good for you, babe."

I stood up too and I was reallyconfused, "Anything wrong?"

He didn't answer, he turned his back on me and walked to the bedroom and startedputting his clothes back on.

I imitated his actions. I started gathering my clothes,and started putting them on.
