Chapter 19

Destiny POV

At midnight,I sat in my hotel room, gathering my things. I couldn't stand to be in the same room as Robert, Johnny, Enrique, and even Oliver anymore!

Oh, how life sucks!

When I finally had the last of my clothes packed, I glanced at my dresser and saw a photograph of The Majestics and I, taken at the photoshoot the day I first went shopping with Jacquie.

I laughed, looking more closely at the picture. Johnny, Enrique, Robert, and Oliver stood clumsily, carrying me in their arms while I was sitting there fearfully. I saw my little pair of bunny ears behind Robert's head. Johnny and Oliver were chuckling at the sight while Enrique kept a firm grip on my lower body which, mind you, was very uncomfortable at the time. I smiled, and packed the picture along with my other belongings.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and tiptoed out of the room, so not to wake anyone. I stopped at the door and took one last look around, despite the obscurity. Slowly, turning the handle, I opened the door and shut it gently.

I walked up and down the empty halls of the hotel. I looked down at my watch.

12:25AM

Who could I go to at this hour? Eventually, my feet led me to the Bladebreakers' hotel room.

Very quietly, I knocked on the door.

I knew Tyson would be too lazy to answer. Kenny probably had no interest in getting the door at... 12:35AM it now was. Max was probably too tired or too hyper to answer the door, which left either Kai or Rei.

The door creaked open and a head popped out.

"Rei..." I whispered. Maybe this day wasn't so bad, after all. He looked different... He let his hair down. Wow, it was long.

"Yeah?" he replied groggily.

"Can I crash here until we go back to China?" I asked, still whispering.

"Uh... Sure." He opened the door a bit more so I could get through.

I walked in and set my bag on the floor.

"Did I wake you up?" I asked quietly.

Rei just rubbed his eyes, "Sort of..."

"Sorry." I apologized.

"It's okay... Des, not to be rude or anything but, why are you here?" he asked.

"I've got issues with The Majestics."

"Like from when Robert hit you during our match?"

I looked away, "You saw?"

Rei confessed and nodded, "Yeah."

"Did... anyone else see?" I was afraid to ask. I turned to face him slightly.

"Kai probably did. He's really observant, but he didn't say anything."

I nodded, "Oh..."

"It's kinda dark in here. I'm gonna turn on the lights." Rei reached for the light switch.

I hesitated, "N-no!"

"Why not?"

I havn't looked in the mirror since the match... I thought to myself. I just looked at him. What if I'm all bruised and ugly?

Rei seemed to have read my mind through my eyes, "Des, no matter how you look, you'll always be beautiful to me. Remember that, alright?"

I looked up at him, "You really mean that?"

"Really." I saw him smile through the darkness.

I sighed, "You can turn on the lights then..."

He flicked on the lights.

I stared at him, admiring his long black hair. Suddenly, he hastily began to put it back up.

"No..." he stopped and looked at me, "I like your hair that way."

He let his hair fall back down, "Okay."

It was my turn to smile.

Rei took a step towards me and examined my face, "It's just a little red..."

I laughed quietly, "I never knew Robert could hit so hard."

His hand trailed my cheek. I flinched when his fingers touched the spot where Robert's swing hit me.

"Ouch..." I muttered.

"It... really hurts?" he asked.

"Not really." I told him, "Just when you touch it."

"Hmm..." was all I got as a reply.

His face inched closer to mine, as mine did to his. We shut out eyes as our lips met briefly, suddenly. He pulled away.

"Des, sorry I-"

I interrupted him with a shrug, "Don't apologize." I smiled.

We sat on the couch, his fingers intertwined with mine. My head rested on his shoulder. Soon, I drifted off into a deep sleep.
