Steph slides her key card into the door and when the small circular light turns greens she opens the door to a beautiful suite. This room was obviously a suite before the new owners took over, all they did was redecorate to make it more homey. There's the main living room with a couch and tv, on each side of the living room are two dark wooden doors which I'm assuming lead to the bedrooms. Off to the side of the living room is a small kitchen. The kitchen has a mixed black and white granite countertop with three dark wood cupboards that match the doors. It contains a small glass table with two black chairs around it, a mini fridge, microwave, a sink and an air fryer that sits on the counter. It's a really cute small kitchen but clearly not compatible for cooking any real meals. Steph tells me I'm welcome to anything and to make this place my home as well. She says that all the actual meals can be made in the common kitchen area downstairs or we can request the cook to make something and bring it up. As weird as this place seems, it also seems really cool with a lot of conveniences.
The left side door creeks open and a beautiful brunette with hair the comes to her shoulders shrieks"Oh my god is this her?!" She runs over and hugs me. "Hi! You must be Millie! I'm Mia, I've heard so much about you! It's nice to finally meet you, im so excited to have you stay with us." She says and I instantly like her. I can tell she's a genuine person. "Wow, your eyes are gorgeous! All of you is gorgeous to be honest." she says. She couldn't be any sweeter. "Thank you, and thank you for everything. I promise to stay out of your guys way as much as possible." I say Steph chimes in "Oh please Mills, you're not going to be a bother to either one of us, we are so happy to have you here."
I thank her and turn to Mia. She has these big beautiful light brown eyes and a few freckles along her nose. I can't help but feel jealous of her appearance, she's wearing a cropped shirt that shows off a couple inches of her belly and damn is her body toned. She must work out often, I'm probably around the same size as her but very far from how toned she is.
"So Mia, what do you do here? Do you work on travel accommodation too?" she laughs" No, no. I'm one of the events coordinators here. I mostly plan things for the club."
"The club?" I ask.
"Oh yeah…you didn't know we have a whole club on the lowest level? We have a party tonight. Every Friday and Saturday we throw huge parties. Sometimes, we have celebrity appearances. Everyone at the house goes to these parties, some other elites from the area or even out of country that don't actually live here come too, it's their secret escape for their rough days to allow them to unwind.
You should come tonight." she says.
"Oh I don't know, I was just going to lounge in here tonight, I'm desperate for a nap, can I join in tomorrow night instead? I ask.
She nods her head and tells me it's fine and that she understands.
I tell the girls I'm going to lay down for a nap and that I'll see them afterwards. Steph points to the right side door and I open it. When I enter I see a king sized bed with a white comforter and way too many pillows that I'll be sharing with Steph, a bathroom, a small couch, closet, a vanity with tons of make up and hair products lying on it and a glass sliding door that leads to the balcony with a view of the ocean. I set down my backpack next to the bed and kick off my shoes. I lie down on the bed and stare at the white ceiling above. I wonder to myself how my life got to this point. Life never used to be as difficult as it is now. I'm starting from square one with next to no one to lean on other than Steph. If I didn't have her I don't know where I'd be right now. I make a mental note to call my new boss tomorrow to get things figured out. I keep overthinking everything happening in my life at the moment until I'm too tired for another thought and doze off.
