"Remind me again why we have to arrive earlier than everyone ", Sammy said throwing in the bags that had her dress, jewelry, and shoes on the back passenger seats.
"I have to go for the last dress fittings for me since I'll be one of the bridesmaids, we'll have full spa treatments, get our nails down and everything and I hope that is enough for you. Don't ask me again", she said getting in yen drivers seat.
The two were headed to Hetal's hotel where they were going to spend the next three night before the wedding day. Sammy was one if the bridesmaids but Zendaya insisted that they both came early since they would first hit the spa. She booked a fill spa treatment and would also get their nails and hair done.
They went on to fit the dress with the rest of the bridesmaids and headed for the hotel.They got out the car and gave the door man their car keys. They had bags in both hands. They got inside and scanned the whole room looking for any sign of Zendaya. The elevator made a pinging sound and they looked there.
A tall, slender blond came out of the elevator in a rush and scanned the room. She wore blue wash ripped blue jeans, a white off shoulder top and 27C Nike sneakers to finish her look . Their eyes met and she came to them.
"Sammy, Freya ", she said hugging them both at once."I'm happy to see you ", she said.
"So are we ", Sammy said.
"Let me help you with that, she said taking a bag from each one if them ".
Zendaya knew both of them from a very long time. Blake and her were high school sweethearts and these girls had been best friends since forever. So they were like sisters to her.They went went up stairs and showed the with if them their rooms. They were separate.
"Why did you get us separate rooms. You could have saved money ", Freya said as she closed her door as the headed to the room that belonged to Zendaya and her maid of honor.
"My mother in law to be insisted that we got the both of you separate rooms just in case Sammy brought someone with her. Sammy face palmed herself after hearing that.
"When am I going to get peace ", Sammy said and they laughed .
"Do you want anything to drink ", she asked. She poured then both champagne and the relaxed on the couch telling stories and catching up.

Dinner time came and they decided that they wouldn't order room service but go eat to one of the restaurants opposite the hotel. In the middle of their meal Blake joined them and went with Zendaya after that. Him and the boys would check in the following day which would be on a Friday, the day before the wedding .
Just at the entrance Sammy spotted Jonathan talking to a lady. They were holding hands and released it as they faced each other . She had her hair fastened up in a pony tail and had files in her hands.Without thinking she went to the two of them and stood in-between them without and stared at Jonathan.
"Hi baby", he said pulling her in for a hug and kissed her forehead the went down to her lips. She light pushed him. Why was he kissing her in front if the girl he was holding hands with. "What's wrong ", he asked in confusion.
"Her ", she frowned.
"Oh that's my sister ", he said smiling and looked up to her sister. Sammy was a little bit embarrassed by what she was thinking. All of them must have seen that and didn't talk about it further .
Freya followed behind and hugged the woman he was talking to right now. "You know her?", Sammy asked.
"Yes. She's the one currently holding the CEO position on our Bondi branch ", she said. "I'll have to go lie down I'm exhausted", she said and made way from the door .
"Oh that explains it ", she said.
"Bertha this is Sammy my girlfriend and Sammy that is Bertha my twin sister ", he said.
"Well you didn't mean you tell me the with what I saw right now. I must say she must be very special cause I know that my brother doesn't like fooling around", she chuckled .
"Oh she's the other one ", and he nodded in return. They hugged after they were introduced. A phone made a vibrating sound. Bertha checked her phone and said she had to go. The two love birds were left talking outside and went where the cars were parked.

Freya got inside the hotel straight to the elevator. She pressed the button and got inside, pressed the floor number she was going to and stood in while listening to the music playing in the background.
The lift stopped halfway her journey and she huffed. She was tired and couldn't stand on both feet anymore. Her feet were sore and had a throbing headache. Not to mention the heart ache. She was mentally,emotionally and physically exhausted. A couple and a child came in but before the lift could close someone put his hand in-between the two doors.
And guess who it was. Sam, the last person Freya expected to see here. He got in and spotted her when he looked at the mirror. He smiled at the back of his mind. This was his chance. He looked at the child and an idea popped in his head.
"Hey there princess what's your name ", he asked.
"Vanessa, but my mommy and papa call me Nessa ", she said in her tiny voice. Her parents looked at thean in a suit talking to their daughter. Sam smiled at them and they returned it.
"How old are you?".
" I'm 5 ".
"Oh wow you're a big girl ,do you mind me picking you up ", he asked and she nodded.She picked the little girl in no effort and held her in his arms.
"So Nessa do you want to be friends with me", he asked.She looked at her parents and they smiled. She nodded when she saw that her parents smiled. "So you know that friends do each other favours right ?".
"Yes ", she said. Freya tried looking to the side to avoid Sam as he interacted with the little girl. She wanted to get out of this elevator soon but it was going to take too long.
"So please give the beautiful lady next to us a kiss on the cheek", he said. The girl went forward a little in his arm and planted a sift all kiss on her cheek. Freya smiled at the little girl and kissed her cheek in return.
Sam smiled and steadied the little in his arms. "Now please give her this ",he said taking out a little paper in his pocket. He had planned to give this to her today after leaving the hotel but since she was here he did it now. Freya was left with no choice but to take it. She couldn't refuse it coming from ten little girl.
"Thank you princess ", she said to the girl. No it was time for the little girl to go. Sam placed her on the floor and gave her a mint gum that was in his pocket. They were now all alone in the elevator.
"Take this ", but before she could realize what was happening she as pinned on the wall.
"Sam ", she said in shock.
"Shhh please listen to me ", he pleaded.
"It's not like I have a choice . I'm stuck with you", she sarcastically said looking at both her hands pinned on the elevator wall. She looked at the numbers and saw that she was only three floors from her's. Only three more floors, she could do this. She couldn't fight the urge to kiss this man's libs. So beautiful and only a few millimeters away from hers.
The elevator made a little cringing sound and stopped. Sam took this as an opportunity to talk to her. "What ever it is that you saw back then isn't what you think it is ", he started.
"Oh what was it ", she raised an eyebrow.
"I was in a bad state and didn't realise that she was crossing the line. She was only there as a friend and for my father. I consider her to be my sister I've known her since childhood . We needed her support. That morning when I left I found out that my father was involved in a car accident, and was in ICU that is why I had to leave. And the phone, it was in your house all along. In my Jacket ", he finished.
'Oh so that is why he didn't call. But she still kissed her', Freya thought. "Please forget about all this and start afresh like we planned that we would before this whole hospital thing and your new boyfriend ".
"He's not my boyfriend", She smiled a little. She loved seeing him like this, a little bit jealous.
"But..",
"Sorry for the interruption were working hard on fixing the problem. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused ", a voice said in the elevator. The two of them looked up in shock as they heard the voice. "And please remember that we have cameras on the elevator ", she said.
"You heard her, so let me go ", she demanded.
"No I'm not letting you go until you say that we're good..-",
Freya couldn't resist her attraction to this man. She wanted him. She felt strange but a good kind if strange. If this is how she would always feel when around him then this is how she wanted to feel now. To hell with Narisa and everything all she wanted was this perfectly imperfect man that pinned her against this wall.
Their lips met in just the perfect time and heads moved a little while they slowly kissed. She lightly moaned in the kissed as she heard the minty taste of his gum and he pulled back smiled at her.
"I love..:", but he was disturbed by the elevator opened. He quickly let go of her and arranged his suit. Even though no one knew what happened there, their swollen lips told everything .
