"What do you guys want to do today? The hotel has a nature trail I was thinking we could get a tour and stretch our legs a little" I say to the kids.
Today is to be our last day at the hotel and we want to make the most of it. Hotel concierge arranged a private tour for the kids and me. Two hours up and down the hilly terrain of the nature trail by the snake river. The kids and I are dead tired, when we got back to the hotel, so before dinner we all take naps to recharge.
About an hour later I wake up and head for the shower feeling famished. The kids are still fast asleep, and I doubt they will wake up anytime soon. At least not until another hour or so, I might as well get a shower and get something to eat.
The warm shower beats over my tight muscles, loosening up and releasing the tension from my body. After shampooing my hair, I shaved my legs then got out and dry my hair. Once my hair is dry and up in a ponytail I got dressed in a shorts and white t shirt paired with my Air Jordan 12 retro low playoffs.
Before I leave the room I write a note for Abby letting her know where to find me if they woke up before I return.
I get to the lobby and there he is Mr. Fine, standing at front desk. Does he wear anything but suits? I think to myself. I walk pass him with my head held looking straight ahead, doing my best not to ogle at him.
"Ms. Cambridge, a word please" I recognize the voice, I turn around and of course its him. My traitorous heart is fluttering doing backflips and somersaults in my chest. Just the sound of his voice gets it going
"Hi Mr.......?" I say and wait for him to respond, I never got his name.
"I'm Noah" he says as he walks over and stop inches away from me.
"Oh, I see, um I mean, nice to mee... yeah, how are you?" I say mumbling. Why would I say nice to meet you? it's my third time talking to him. I look up at him and I can feel all the blood settling in my face.
"Walk with me? Please!" he says, and I nod my head at him.
"Ok" yeah, that's all I have one syllable words, I hate that I get tongue tied around him I did so well the last time.
"We have a very beautiful garden here on the property".
He pauses and gazes into my eyes intensely.
"The second most beautiful thing on this property at the moment" and again I turned red.
"Would you like to see it Ms. Cambridge?" he asks.
"Yes" I respond.
Somehow, I know that if he asked me if I wanted to meet the devil, I would probably say yes to that too, I conclude.
"You can call me Taylor" I say in a soft tone, he nods his head and proceeded to the garden me trailing behind.
When we get there, we walk to a bench situated under a Red Dogwood tree, he gestures with his hand for me to sit and I do. He sits beside me and proceeds to talk.
"How are you enjoying your stay at the hotel?" he asks staring at me. In fact, I think he stared the entire walk to the garden.
"It's ok, it's a beautiful hotel, I really enjoy it here" I say
"I'm glad you enjoy being here, I'm sure everyone is happy to have you" he says. Then he continues "I know that I may have come off less than hospitable before and for that I want to apologize"
"Apology accepted, Noah" I say then smile at him
It's hard to sit here beside him, the strange voices in my head that never left since I met him kept telling me to touch him. His unnaturally aesthetic face makes me want to caress it, to feel his skin against mine. I want to run my finger along the outline of his facial hair, feel it against the tip of my fingers. I wonder how it would feel if I just ran my hand through his soft, thick hair?
