Alex was kneeling next to me, his lips pressed to mine as I opened my eyes sleepily. I smiled at him and he returned the smile for a moment. Then he looked up and I followed his gaze, Bella was standing behind the couch. Dread churned in my stomach as I sat up, my towel had fallen off of me at some point during the night.
Phil was snoring and Alex put his finger to his lips, shushing me as he gently pulled me up from the couch. He leaned down to my ear and whispered to me, “I told her about last night. Just go with her and make it up to her.”
I looked to Alex, he was smiling gleefully, his eyes fixed on Bella.
She handed me a short trench coat and told me to put it on. I started to go over to my luggage to fish out clothes to wear it and Bella smacked my hand, “Just the coat,” she whispered to me, being careful not to wake Phil.
My hand trembled but I put it on, it fell to about mid-thigh and fastened snuggly around me. Bella took my hand and led me out of the hotel room and down the hall.
