We made it back to Noah's hotel. He took pictures with a couple fans in the lobby, and we went on our way. 
                          
"So you're telling me there's a whole separate pool and hot tub on the top floor?" I laughed as we got into the elevator. 
                          
"I mean, apparently." He smiled. "I haven't seen it yet but this is one of the best hotels in town, so I wouldn't doubt it." He got out his room key and pressed the top floor button.
                          
"Well, I guess we'll find out."
                          
We got up to the top floor and Tom greeted us again. 
                          
"Hey, Tom, remember when you told me there was a pool up here?"
                          
"Yeah, it's right over there," he gestured down the hall. "First door on your right." He smiled. 
                          
"Thanks, buddy." Noah smiled and shook his hand, handing him a $20 bill. "Let's go." He turned to me. 
                          
We walked down the hall and Noah pulled out his key card again and waved it over the sensor to open the door.
                          
"After you." He held the door open and I walked in.
                          
It was a cute little room the pool was a lot smaller than the one in the lobby, but it still looked really nice. There were some lounge chairs around the pool, along with a fully stocked bar, locked up of course. 
                          
"Wow, a bar and everything huh?" I said. 
                          
"Yeah I think that's for the parties that some people throw." He laughed. "My idea of a party is just a few people over, no need for a fully stocked bar." He laughed as he put his backpack down on a chair. 
                          
"I get that." I laughed and put down my bag on the chair next to his. 
                          
I took off my shoes and went up to feel the water with my foot. I felt Noah come up behind me and pretend that he was going to push me in. 
                          
"Noah oh my gosh!" I yelled then turned around to face him. "Don't push me in it's cold." I laughed. 
                          
"And what if I did?" He got closer and put his hands abound my waist. 
                          
"Then I would bring you in with me." I said as I put my hands around his arms. 
                          
I guess he took that as a challenge, because he swung me toward the pool. I caught my balance on the edge, but that didn't stop him, he kept trying to push me in and when I finally slipped, I brought him in with me. 
                          
We both couldn't stop laughing. I loved everything about this. My hair was soaked and all over my face, Noah tried to help by pushing it back but it wasn't really helping. I laughed and messed up his hair. His long curly hair falling down to his eyes, he looked so handsome. 
                          
I couldn't stop thinking about how we almost kissed at the beach, and if it was intentional or just in the moment. 
                          
Noah took a deep breath then went under water. He grabbed my waist and threw me over his shoulder as he stood back up. 
                          
"Noah put me down!" I giggled. 
                          
"Nope!" He said as he started spinning in circles. I tried wiggling free but his grip was too tight on me. 
                          
Finally he put me down on one of the steps that enter the pool. He grabbed me and pulled me in for a hug. I hugged him back. 
                          
"I'll race you." Noah challenged. 
                          
"Oh no." I rolled my eyes. 
                          
"Come on." He pouted. 
                          
"You don't want none Noah." I laughed. 
                          
"Oh? And why's that?" 
                          
"I've been swimming for years you know this."
                          
"I've been practicing."
