“What are you doing?” she asked as I sat on the bed with my laptop.
“I’m almost finished with my paper. You go and meet the girls down at the pool. I’ll catch up with you in a few minutes.”
“You better.” She pointed at me before leaving the room.
I finished my paper and submitted it to my professor. After changing into my bikini, I threw on my cover-up, slipped into my sandals, grabbed my bag, and left the hotel room. Walking down the long hallway, I realized I had gone the wrong way to the elevators.
“Shit,” I quietly spoke, turning around.
When I turned the corner, my body collided with another. As I stumbled back, his hand gripped my arm, and his phone hit the floor.
“Oh my God. I’m so sorry.” I froze, staring into his blue eyes.
“It’s my fault. I was looking down at my phone. Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” I reached down and picked up his phone.
“Thanks. You didn’t have to do that. I could have picked it up.”
“You’re welcome. I ran into you. My fault.”
“We ran into each other.” The corners of his mouth curved into a sexy smile.
“I guess we did.” I grinned. “Are you staying here in this hotel?”
“I am. Why?”
“I’m turned around and can’t seem to find my way to the pool.”
His eyes raked over me from head to toe.
“Take this hallway down to the end, make a right, and take the elevator down to the ground level. You’ll see the pool when you step off.”
“Great. Thank you.” I bashfully smiled.
“You’re welcome?—”
“Stella.”
“You’re welcome, Stella. Have fun in the pool.”
“Thanks—” I cocked my head.
“Miles.”
“Thanks, Miles.”
I gripped the strap to my bag and slowly walked away from the six-foot-three strikingly handsome man—perfectly styled short dark hair, piercing blue eyes, and a ruggedly handsome face with a chiseled jawline that was accentuated by a well-maintained five o’clock shadow. Not only did his looks grip me, but also the scent that radiated from him—earthy, clean, masculine.
“Damn.” I shook my head as I stepped onto the elevator.
“It’s about time,” Jordyn said, patting the lounge chair next to her.
I said hi to Morgan and the other girls before sitting down.
“I got lost.”
“What do you mean?” Jordyn’s brows furrowed under her oversized sunglasses.
