The One

Chapter 55

In about 13 hours I finally stop in some place i've never heard of Annville, Kentucky. I park my car at a Best Western hotel and walk in the lobby to check in. I am so so freaking tired, my eyes are even red. Its almost 1 in the morning!

The tall brunette hair guy hands me the card for my room and I rush to the elevator. I take out my phone and press L3 button. I walk to the room C35 and open the door. I take my shoes off and hop onto bed.

Next morning 5 am

I wake up and look at the time. My phone doesn't have battery since I left the charger in my car in some box. I walk to my car, open a box and pull out some clean clothes and my charger and go back in the hotel room. As I enter the lobby and press the elevator button to go up someone stands next to me.

The elevator doors open and both of us step in. "What level you going to?" he asks me.

"3rd," I reply.

He presses the level 3 button then the level 5 button. The elevator goes up when all of the sudden it shuts down.

Crap. "Is this for real right now?" I say it out loud before I can even think about it.

"Guess so," the guy replies then scoffs.

I move forward to press the phone call button. Someone from the lobby answers.

"Mam, the elevator stopped and we are stuck inside, could you go get help. I really have to be somewhere."

The lady from the lobby lets us know the electrician man will be on its way asap.

I am worried, I should be in traffic right now driving back to California. We are in silence right now in the elevator which makes it awkward even to breath.

"Are you from around here?" the guy next to me asks.

"No, i'm from California."

"Nice," he replies.

I take out my phone and try to turn it on, I didn't charge it but I am playing around with it.

Couple minutes later the elevator turns back on and I reach my floor. The doors open and I walk out. The guy doesn't say a word but I could feel his gaze on me.

I enter the room and quickly head to the shower. I wash all my body, hair and step out.

"Fuck!" I say as my bra falls in the toilet. I pinch my eyes then look for something to take out my bra. Since I don't find anything I stick my hand in the toilet and pull out my bra. I wash it and stick it in a bag. I continue getting ready and finally leave to my car ready to leave.

Its 6 am now and I am back on the road. 27 hours to go! I just want to get home. I take my phone from my pocket cautiously since one hand is on the steering wheel, I unlock it and call my mom.

She answers on the 3rd ring. "Hey, honey," my mom says.

"Hey mom, I have news."

I can hear her sigh. "Oh gosh what is it now?"

I laugh. "Mom, its nothing bad. My new is that i'm moving back home!"

"What!? You are! Oh my, that is amazing! I've felt so lonely here.

I smile. "Gosh mom, you need a boyfriend."

She laughs as if she isn't telling me something. "Mom ... Do you need to tell me something?"

"No ...."

"I think you do."

"Well .... I kind of met this guy his name is Richard."
