Alex sat in the taxi, looking at the rain that was falling hard outside as she waited untill they pulled up to the Hotel she was staying at. She knew that she had to find a place to live soon, since she knew she would be there for a long time, and thought that she would stay at a Hotel while she found the perfect place for herself. She knew that it would probably take her while to find the place, at the perfect location, but it was all she could afford at the moment and time. She had packed her stuff and now her suit case was sitting in the trunk of the cab, she hadn't had time to go to the Hotel yet since she had arrived.
Alex had felt bad when she thought about what Cyd had said to her. She knew what she said about Carla and Ingrid was wrong, so why did she say it? She had no idea what came over her at that moment, she had never been so rude before. Alex knew herself that it was unexceptable, and that she would have to apologize to them soon. But the question is when?

The taxi had finaly pulled up to the decently built building and Alex could already feel herself relaxing, she just wanted to be at home and have a nice relaxation on the couch. She smiled as she grately paid the driver. She opened the door, and ran outside as quickly as her heels would let her rolling her luggage behind her with her purse over her head, hoping not get wet from the rain that was crying from the sky that day.

She reached inside the door and shook herself like a dog getting out of a bath, making sure there was no ounce of water on her. She straightened out her black skirt and white blouse as she made her way towards the elevator and up towards her room, with her luggage still behind her.

She sighed deeply as the elevator doors had finally parted, and she continued her way towards her room number. She searched into her purse looking for her room key, she knew she had placed it somewhere, if only her purse haden't been so big and in such a big mess. She continued to make her way as she was still searching for her room key, she knew she had placed it in there . She stopped infront of her door, placing her suitcase just infront, still rumuging through her purse. " Damn thing!! Where are you?"

" Excuse me cherie, do you need some help?" She heard a man's voice say. Her heart stopped, her whole body froze ... she recognized that voice anywhere.

" Oh no, I'm fine. I'm just looking for my key." She smiled politly, her eyes meeting to those very same beautiful green ones.

" Are you sure you don't need any help?" He asked again, looking deep into her, making sure her answer was true.

" Um, yes I'm fine." She straightened herself out, trying to be polite as possible.

" Okay, cherie. Just let me know if you need anything." He assured his smile at her, letting her know that he meant it.

Sebastien wasn't expecting Alex to be there, he was wondering what she was doing there. He smiled down at her as his eyes began to study her features again. She looked good, beautiful in fact. Almost the same as the last time he left her, she was just having a certain glow to her, despite the fact of the red that was starting to appear in her cheeks. He chuckled to himself, he could remember when the rosy color would come into play on her face, and how much she would blush when he complimented her or flirted with her. It was as if her cheeks were speaking without Alex knowing it.

" Thank you Sebastien." She smiled her eyes following him as he walked past her, making his own way.

She found herself not being able to take her eyes off of him as she kept his eyes on him, he was still the same Sebastien that she knew. The one that was still careing and helpful. And yet she was wondering what he was doing in the Hotel building. She pushed all those thoughts aside as she continued to go through her purse, and finally finding her room key that she was working for.

" Thank you God!" She smiled as she slid the door key through the lock, excited as she knew she was finally going to relax in her room. A confused look came across her face as the green light did not appear after she slid the key throught the lock, instead, it was replaced with a red light.

She slid her flat key in the lock again, but still there was no use. She looked at the card, trying to study and figure out why the key wasn't working. She finally figured that she was holding the key wrong, she flipped it to the other side and slid it correctly into the door. But still, no success! The red light still appeared in the lock, indicating that the key wasn't working.

" What the hell?" She cursed out loud. She had no idea what was going on. All she wanted to do was relax on her couch.

" Is something the matter cherie?" The same voice was heard again. Alex looked up to see Sebastien a few rooms down from her, looking at her with concern and a smile.

" Yes, I'm fine." She smiled, feeling a little embarrassed. She had no idea that he was still in the same hallway as her.

" Well, evidently you're not. What is going on?" He asked in concern for her as he began to walk closer to her. Alex could feel her heart begin to beat faster as she could see him coming closer and closer.

" My uh ....... my room key isn't working." She studdered, still unknowing of what to say to him.

Alex still didn't know how to react around him, it had been so long since they were this close to eachother ... it still felt a little awkward for her. And yes, she knew that deep down she still had feelings for him, but who was to say that he had felt the same? For all she could know, he could have moved on, forgotten about her and made himself a new girlfriend or maybe even a wife. But she knew she still had to be nice to him, even though he had broken her heart, she could never have the courage to be rude to him. It just didn't seem right.

" Oh?" He raised one eyebrow as he finally reached where Alex was standing. " Do you mind if I have a look?" He asked looking down at her.

" Um... no go right ahead." She replied, holding out her key towards Sebastien.

" Merci." He smiled sweetly as he accepted the key from her hands, trying to see if the lock would work.

Alex bit her bottom lip gently, there was that french again that always gave her shivers everytime he spoke it. What ever he was doing, he was having alot of effects on her.

" Hmmm .... that is odd." He replied after trying himself in sliding the key into her lock. " I'm sorry cherie I don't know what to tell you." He replied, eyes sadened as he handed back her key. He was a little upset that he couldn't help her.

" That's okay." She smiled up at him as she retreived back the card. " I will just have to find somewhere else." She adjusted her purse on her shoulder.

" Well, erm ... if you like, would you like to stay in my room until you figure out what is wrong?" He suggested nervousely, he was unsure of what her reaction would be and was unsure if he should have even asked her.

" I'm sorry?" Alex asked confused. She had no idea why he was asking her something like that. " Are you in this building?"

" Yes, my room is actually down that way." He replied looking backwards and pointing down the hallway towards his door. " It's just that, I would hate to see you go through so much trouble just to find somewhere else to go, and I know you are very tired."

" Yes, well it has been a long flight." Alex nodded as she smiled nervously.

" And I can see that you are already packed." He chuckled trying to lighten the mood as he pointed at her navy blue suitcase that was sitting infront of her door. " So just come into my room you can stay there as long as you like, and I promise I will give you your space and I won't bother you."

Alex looked in his eyes, she could tell that all he wanted to do was help, he wasn't trying to show off or anything. He was still the same Sebastien that she could remember. She still wasn't sure if she should be with him, he was the one that broke her heart and now he's asking her to move? She just couldn't understand it. Why would he ask her to be with him if he couldn't even be with her that night? It just didn't make any sense. Alex thought about it more ... she wasn't sure what to think of his suggestion, but she knew he was only being the nice gentlemen that Sebastien had always been.

" So what do you say, cherie?" Sebastien asked, searching for the answer with in her eyes.

" Okay Sebastien, I will."
