instantly reevaluate his "type" of woman. Each one of her curves had an erotic flair, something that the skin and bones women didn't possess.
    Sweet Jesus, but she was hotter than hell!
    "Get out!" She shoved him, nearly losing her grip on the towel that she clutched against her body. Her foot slipped on the soapy floor of the tub, and she would have fallen if it hadn't been for the hand that reached out to hold her up.
    Ashton barely felt her hand crash against his shoulder, but when he saw Kaylee lose her balance, it snapped him out of his daze. "I just came over to see if you needed some help, and obviously you did. What would you do without me?"
    Kaylee growled. She couldn't think of a comeback, as usual. He was so frustrating. "Stop looking at me like that!" she yelled. She felt his eyes boring into her. Her face flushed a bright red color, and though she didn't have any clothes on, she was sweating.
    "All right, I better go before you try to seduce me," Ashton said, backing out of the bathroom. Nice seeing you though...very nice." He winked at her, then disappeared through the door connecting their rooms.
    As soon as the door closed, she ran over and locked it, then sat on the bed and dropped onto her back. The water and bubbles immediately stained the comforter underneath her. The air around her felt cold but her body burned with embarrassment. That whole encounter left her feeling shaky, not from fear, but from excitement.
    Excitement?
    "Holy shit," she groaned, and rolled over on the bed to bury her face in her hands. She took deep breaths and tried to get her emotions and her body under control. She finally sat up and stared at the wall for a moment.
    So much for a relaxing bath.
    Her eyes scanned the room for the first time. When she first came in, all she saw was the bathroom, so now she was looking at it all for the first time. It was a typical hotel room, but compared to the bus, it was top notch.
    When she saw the time, she shot up. Brandon was picking her up in fifteen minutes, and she was nowhere near being ready.
    The first thing she did was get dressed. It was bad enough that Ashton saw her naked; there was no way that she wanted Brandon to see her that way. She threw on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, trying to be comfortable. She felt bad that she wasn't dressing up to look nice for Brandon, but she didn't want to encourage him anymore.
    She dried her hair quickly, and put on some eyeliner and mascara. Just as she finished, there was a knock at her door. She took a deep breath and prepared to face the night with Brandon. Opening the door, the date began.
    A bouquet of wildflowers were presented to her before she could even say hi. She took the flowers out of Brandon's hand. "Hi," she said, trying to sound pleasant and hide her annoyance. He was starting to be overbearing.
    "Hello beautiful. Ready for our date?" Brandon asked, stepping into her room. "You look..." He took her body in. "...um, nice?" He seemed a little disappointed.
    Kaylee looked down at her clothes and flushed red again. "Sorry, I just like to be comfortable when I go to the movies." Why did she feel the need to apologize for her appearance? She saw that he was wearing a pair of khakis and a polo shirt. He wasn't much more dressed up than she was.
    "Well, let's go or we'll be late for the movie," she said. Her voice sounded tense, her words rehearsed. This wasn't starting out well.
    Brandon felt the tension but hoped that as the night wore on, he would chisel away at it. He didn't want the whole night to be uncomfortable, even though it was starting out that way.
    Outside of the hotel, they hailed a cab and got dropped off at the closest theater. Kaylee picked the movie, a super-sappy chick flick, and Brandon paid for the tickets. They sat together and watched the movie, but they couldn't have been further apart mentally. When Brandon reached over to hold her hand, she let him, but she didn't squeeze back or give any indication that she
