Chapter 1 - The Meeting

At the hotel lobby...

There she was sitting in the hotel lobby focused on her laptop, hands moving fast as if her laptop would be taken from her any moment from now. Lost in her world. She paused, took a sip from the glass of wine on the table close to her and put it back, continued with her typing.

Noah: told you it's worth the money

Sebastian: first time you ain't wrong. Well don't get your hopes high, we haven't been inside yet

Noah: come on man, it's a five-star hotel, one of the best as that

Sebastian: Five Star hotel or not, am just here to relax and chill, working lately is tense

Noah: speaking about chilling, take a look at the chick over there... hell she's fine

Sebastian: we haven't got room keys yet and here you are thinking about playing around

Noah: what's vacation about? Having fun, relaxing, chilling and playing around. That's what vacation is all about dude

Sebastian: I don't think she's here to play around like you. Looking she's busy

Noah: come on Seb, I know how these things work, everyone knows I mean except you. She's a pimp

Sebastian: how can you tell

Noah: they always come to different places filled with rich people, hotels, bars, and the airport, sit there pretending to be busy, drinking expensive wine with their last money hoping to make more later in the day, just waiting for their target

Sebastian: meaning she a hooker

Noah: finally get the memo, yes

Sebastian: she's too beautiful for that

Noah: they are all too beautiful for that, thinking am lying watch

Sebastian: what you going to do

Noah: staring at her till we make eye contact

Noah kept staring at the girl sitting, working on her laptop, she raised her head, and took the glass of wine on the table about to drink, when she noticed someone gazing at her, she looked in the direction to see two handsome guys staring at her. One of them waved at her and then she raised her wine glass to greet her back and back to her laptop.

Noah: told you man, not every beautiful flower smells good

Sebastian: hm ( he looks over at the receptionist ) Hey you good, we've been here over 10 minutes we need keys to our room. We made a reservation under Mr Walter

Receptionist: Just a moment Sir

Noah touch Sebastian's hands to signal him to take a look

Sebastian: what

Noah: Look target acquired, she's coming over

He turned to look at her, she closed her laptop, put it in her bag, stood up and walked over. She got to where they were standing at the receptionist's deck.

Sofia: Hi ( she greeted the two men before turning to the receptionist )

Receptionist: Ma your room is ready, I called for your 20mins ago but you were engrossed in your work and I didn't want to disturb you

Sofia: it's okay, can I get the key now

Receptionist: yes Ma, here ( she gave her the key ) Room 304

Sofia: thank you

Receptionist: the butler will have your thing in your room right away

Sofia: great ( with a bright smile across their face ) and am sorry for keeping you waiting, my fault

Receptionist: it's nothing Ma. Have a wonderful stay

Sofia: I sure will

With that, she left.

Sebastian turns to Noah with a smile on his face

Sebastian: So you were saying

Noah: come on, am sure she's a hooker, properly used her saving to book a room and hopes to get more than that, they always do

Receptionist: Sir your room key

Sebastian: thank you

Receptionist: the butler will bring your thing right away. Have a wonderful stay.

*******************************

Damon: how do you like the hotel

Sofia: not bad and it's a suit

Damon: I know you love it. All you have to do is just relax and have fun. You are always working, it's time you have fun.

Sofia: if I don't work who's going to pay my bill, Damon

Damon: and by that, let me guess.… you working right now ain't you

Sofia: guilt as charge ( she laughed )

Damon: too bad am not there with you, would have taken the work out of you

Sofia: Goodbye Damon. And don't call me till this trip is over okay

Damon: okay Ma whatever you say

She hung up walked to the bathroom and back to the room, the sitting room

Sofia : ( murmured ) not that bad. Have to freshen up and have dinner

She took her bath, the towel wrapped around her chest, water dripping from her hair. She walked into the walk-in closet and took out a baggy ash hoodie and shorts, with a white inner shirt. After drying herself up she wore a body lotion and wore the White inner shirt, then a baggy hoodie and the shorts. She wore a white pair of socks and sneakers, then went into the room took the key to her room and a laptop, then headed to the hotel restaurant. She took a seat, and a waiter came to attend to her.

Waiter: Good evening Ma, what can I offer you

Sofia: hmm can I get a chicken burger and fries with a big cup of vanilla milkshake, oh and a crispy bucket chicken to go

Waiter: would you like anything else

Sofia: and some water, that's all

Waiter: okay Ma

The waiter left and she opened her laptop and started tagging on the button. Meanwhile, Sebastian and Noah were at the other end of the restaurant when Sebastian noticed her

Sebastian: mmm I wonder what she's doing on that laptop

Noah: hm ( he follows Sebastian's eye direction and sees what he's talking about ) She's stalking us

Sebastian: what do you mean by stalking us

Noah: she is always where we are

Sebastian: Always? We met her in the lobby and are now here. That's not stalking, this is a hotel restaurant after all

Noah: well I do think she is a hooker, there he tab Sebastian, she staring at you

He looks in her direction. They made eye contact before she broke it.

Noah: I think you at in for it

Sebastian: cut the crap, Noah. ( took the fork and sneak knife and cut it )

******************************

Sofia quickly breaks eye contact with a man looking at her ( Sebastian ) Then the waiter comes with her food, places it on the table and leaves. She pushed her laptop aside took the burger and munched on it when a moan escaped her lips, satisfied with the taste. She drank from the milkshake. She used one hand and kept typing on her laptop and after 10 minutes she was done eating. She cleaned her mouth with the napkin on the table. Signal the waiter to come over

Waiter: you called for me Ma

Sofia: yes add the bill to my room number, 304

Waiter: yes Ma

With that, she left for her room.
