I get in the drivers seat and sit with my legs crossed on the seat with the radio on.
I wonder what he needs to tell me it sounded quite serious. I keep replaying the sentence in my mind for the next 10 minutes. 15 minutes have passed and I finally see him coming out the service station. He gets in the passenger seat. He smiles at me as he gets in and hands me a bag with food in it.
"I got you a chicken tikka roll with lettuce, cucumber, green pepper and mayonnaise, Rebecca told me it was your favourite.
"Yeah it is, thanks" I reply giggling.
"About a year ago, I cheated on Helen with her best friend Leah but they weren't best friends at the time but we did all go about school together. Im not going to lie to you I have cheated more than once but that time Helen found out. We were all in the same friendship group. Helen was one of the prettiest and nicest people I knew but her personality never matched. She got jealous very easily and was extremely clingy. I could tell her anything and she wouldn't tell anybody. On our 1 year anniversary last year I had to tell her about Leah, I thought she would break up with me but she didn't. She was upset but she didn't break up with me... because she was pregnant.
"So she was pregnant with your baby?" I question
"Yes" he answers slowly
Unsure of what to say next I look out the window the opposite direction as to where he was, something I do when I feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.
"That is when she changed dramatically, she was petrified of what people would think about her, and I had just cheated on her with her friend.... You have to understand that I am not like that anymore." his voice shakes, I can tell he is nervous.
I turn to face him "I know I trust you"
"You trust me" he looks confused.
"If I didn't I wouldn't be sitting here right now with you".
A small smile forms on his face.
"Do you trust me?" I ask.
"If I didn't I wouldn't have told you all of this"he says
A smile forms on my face.
I see Rebecca walking out of the service station towards the car but something makes me think back to the conversation that we had just had.
"So you are a father?" I question Peter.
His smile instantly fades , and slowly he runs his fingers through his hair.
"No" he says after a seconds pause.
"Did Helen get rid of it?"I ask.
He shakes his head. "No... She has a miscarriage"
"Oh my god!" I breathe not realising I said it out loud.
"Yeah, It was certainly a shock for both of us".
"Is that why you stayed with her all this time?" I ask out of curiosity.
"Yeah, this would have happened even if you weren't in the picture, I was unhappy with Helen. After the miscarriage Helen turned into someone that I hated more and more everyday, everything she said irritated me. She became too popular for her own good, like fame gets to famous people. I fell out of love. I started hating every minute I spent with her, and so I started cheating on her again. I didn't want to be like that and sleep around the place not even remembering the girls name the next day. I wanted a proper girlfriend a normal relationship for once. Then you come along and I have never felt this good in a while." He ends with a smile which makes me smile.
"I really want to kiss you" he says.
"what are you waiting for then?" I ask with a smirk.
I lean towards him and he meets me halfway. After a moment his arms wrap around my waist pulling me closer to him.
A knock at the car window. It was Rebecca to let her in.
"I see you two are getting rather hot in there?" She says smiling at both of us.
"Get in" I gesture her to get in the back.
She gets in and I drive away.

We arrive at the hotel at about 6 o'clock in the evening. The sun has almost disappeared. Allentown is a really picturesque place, full of five star hotels, expansive designer shops with water all around.
I am so excited.
"Hello and welcome to the Hilton Hotel" a friendly face says.
"Where is your suitcases" he asks.
"They are all in the boot" I reply.
"Do you mind if someone takes them up to your room for you?" he asks
"No we don't mind".
We enter the luxurious hotel foyer, which is filled with lights and their is a clear chandelier hanging from the roof. We get the keys to our room. We step in a small lift, all the memories from the shopping centre spring to mind. It was on the eighth floor which was the top floor. Our hands were still moulded together.
I can hear him breathing standing next to me. He rubs my back to tell me that we are getting out now. I turn to look at him and smile, he smiles back.
Rebecca leads the way to where the room is. The corridors are wide and has a red velvet carpet covering it. I stop and look out the big bay windows that is covered by see through lace curtains.
We finally get to the rooms. 808, 809 and 810 all right next to each other.
808 Rebecca goes in.
809 I go in.
810 Peter goes in.
My room is huge. It has a massive suppressing size bed in the middle of the room being held up by 4 posters. The bed is covered with really thick pillows and an expensive duvet cover. There is a mahogany wardrobe at the other side of the room. To the right hand side of the bed there was a door which led to a en suite bathroom. It had sandy coloured tiles all round the room.
"Do you like it?" Peter asks
"Of course, I absolutely love it, it is beautiful." I say
Peter smiles and walks back through to his own room.
"Hey, you forgot to shut the door" I shout through
"You just want me to come back through don't you?"
He walked straight to me with a smirk on his face and gave me a hug.
"I need to go in the shower" I say pushing him away even though I really didn't want to let him go.
He gently kisses me on the forehead and walks out, closing the door behind him this time.

Rebecca came through to my room, she was ready to go out already so she helped me pick my outfit for the meal. I wore a red dress with a revealing slit down the side. I put my hair up in a messy neat bun and put red lipstick on to match my dress.
