This choice: ...went to the front desk. • Go Back... "Just so you know, I'm not the one dragging these things upstairs" Carly grumbled as she dragged two of the luggage bags up to the front desk. "I thought hotels had helpers for such things" she added. Ignoring their friend's complaints, Liz and Steven just smirked at each other and Liz then rang the small bell that was on the desk. "Hello?" she called out..."anyone here?"
A young woman suddenly appeared from the back room, she was no more than 19 or 20, elegantly dressed in a black skirt suit, a red blouse and ankle-strap black pumps. "Oh I'm so sorry, I hope you haven't been waiting long" the woman apologized. "Welcome to the Moriarty Arms, I'm Chloe. Would you like to book in?" the chirpy young lady then asked, as she introduced herself.
"Just for a few days...please!" Liz responded with a warm smile.
"Oh my god, you're British aren't you?" an excited Chloe said. "I love your accent" she continued.
"Oh...er...yes, we're all English," Liz mumbled, seeming caught out for a moment, "Um...I'm Liz, this is Steven, Carly and Natalie. We decided to go on holiday for Christmas and New Year"
Chloe again smiled. "Well its a pleasure to have you here, and I'm sure you'll love your stay, this hotel is in a class of its own I assure you!" she smiled, not knowing herself just how right she was. "If you'll just sign in for me please, and I'll give you your room keys, is it four rooms you'll be wanting?" Chloe inquired.
"Er...just two rooms please, we can share" Liz said.
"Bet I know who Steven will be sharing with!" Carly suddenly chimed up from behind, looking at Steven and smiling. Steven just turned and gave her a disapproving look, Carly did like embarrassing him in front of people at times.
"Don't worry, each of our rooms have two bedrooms" Chloe interjected, looking to defuse things a little.
Meanwhile, Natalie had wandered away from her friends and was checking out more of the hotel. Known for her liking of a good drink, she soon found her way to the bar and peered inside. Only a couple of employees were present, no guests as yet, and she didn't really pay close attention to the employees that were in there, the burley barman and the smartly-attired blonde waiter. "Watcha doin?" a familiar voice suddenly startled Natalie, who spun around and saw Carly standing there, hands behind her back and legs close together.
"Shit, you scared me Carly! And what do you think I'm doing, I'm scoping out the bar!" Natalie responded, smiling.
"Hmm, I can't wait to down a gin & tonic!" Carly moaned, licking her lips.
"Baileys Irish Cream for me!" Natalie winked.
The two of them then ventured inside the bar to have a closer look around.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
