did kiss me.”
    “No way!” she screamed and then made a face and rubbed her forehead. “It’s too early for this excitement.”
    “What excitement?”
    “You kissed a stranger!” she squealed. “I can’t believe it. Lola Franklin kissed a handsome stranger.”
    “I almost did more.” I grinned and collapsed onto the bed next to her. “Oh, Anna, he was so sexy, but he was such an asshole.”
    “You did not almost sleep with him?”
    “I did.” I grinned. “I’m twenty-one, not eighty-one. I’m entitled to a life.”
    “I do not believe it. You said you didn’t believe in casual sex.”
    “When it’s once-in-a-lifetime casual sex, how can I say no?” I grinned. “I mean, isn’t that why we came here? To be different from our normal selves?”
    “Yeah, I guess so.” She nodded. “Who would have thought it? Anna and Lola from Palm Bay, Florida, are living it up in London, England, like two little sluts.”
    “Anna!” I gasped, and she giggled.
    “What would you call us?”
    “Modern girls.” I laughed. “We’re modern girls who know what we want.” I lay there and smiled as I thought of my kiss with Xavier. Even though he’d been an asshole, I still thought he was a sexy beast.
    “Okay, then. We’re modern girls.” Anna rested her head on my shoulder. “I’m glad we came, by the way,” she spoke softly. “I think it’s just the change we needed.”
    “Me too,” I whispered back at her. “Me too.

    T he knocking at the door awoke me, and I groaned. Anna and I must have fallen back asleep.
    “Room service,” a voice called out, and I rolled out of the bed to open the door.
    “I’m coming.” I yawned and opened the door. “Oh.” My eyes widened as I took in Xavier. He looked even more handsome in daylight. “I thought you were room service.”
    “I am.” He grinned and held up his heads. He had two coffees and a bag of something.
    “Oh, thanks.” I stood there awkwardly and groaned inwardly as I realized how I must have looked. I reached up and rubbed my eyes and then looked at my fingertips. They were smudged with black.
    “Going to a fancy dress party today?” he asked me with a smile.
    “Sorry, what?”
    “I was wondering if there was a reason why you looked like a raccoon.”
    “Excuse me?” My mouth dropped, and he laughed.
    “Can I come in or am I not allowed past the front door?”
    “Why do you want to come in?” I took a step back, and he ran his fingers to my face and down my cheek, holding everything in his other hand.
    “Do not worry, Lola. It’s not to seduce you. Trust me.”
    “Whatever.” I rolled my eyes, but I felt hurt inside.
    “Who’s that? Is it Max?” Anna called out eagerly.
    “No,” I called back, and he stared at me curiously.
    “Do you wish it were him?” he asked me softly.
    “Why would I care if he was here?” I shook my head, annoyed.
    “Just checking.” He walked into the hotel room and walked up to the bed. “Here’s a coffee and a cheese and onion pastry. It should make you feel better.” He handed both items to a shocked Anna.
    She sat up in the bed, looking confused, and her eyes were wide with shock. I giggled as I stared at her. Her hair was all over the place, and she looked like a scarecrow.
    “Thanks.” She took them tentatively and gave him a small smile.
    “No problem.” He turned around and walked back to me. “And this is for you. The same thing. Though I got you a doughnut as well.”
    “A doughnut?”
    “To keep your lips sweet.” He smiled and looked at my lips for a few seconds.
    “Oh.” I swallowed hard and sat down on the couch. “Thanks.”
    “So how are you feeling today?” he asked me as he sat next to me.
    “I’m fine.” I shrugged. “It was Anna who was drunk.”
    “I see.” He looked over at her as she ate eagerly. “Max always seems to know how to pick them.”
    “We were at the museum last night ...” I started and he nodded.
    “I know.”
    “Oh, well, last
