Beth, Alice's mum above ^
After a twenty minute car ride we arrived at a smallish looking hotel called Catalina Hotel. It to be honest doesn't look that bad. I stepped out of the car staring at the hotel; it was plain but kind of classy. Phil got my bag out of the trunk while mum came up to me here eyes had a sense of happiness and mischief. The look which always had me scared, "give me a hug goodbye then" my mum snapped hastily. I flinched but carefully gave her a hug, "don't contact me for a week, Phil's treating me. So no contacting me" mum growled in my ear, I flinched and mum released me. Smiling.
"Goodbye dear, enjoy your stay" mum said sweetly as ever, I nodded bad decision really. "Fucking answers me when I talk to you" my mum growled angrily. I jumped back my mother was defiantly the red queen, all she needs to do is keep shouting off with there heads. "I'm sorry mother. I will have a good stay" I said just above a whisper. My mum smiled and nodded then literally jumped into the car, slamming the door behind her; with a sigh I turned and grabbed my rucksack flinging it over my shoulder with the suitcase handle in the other. Phil smiled at me, sadly, "the pin for the card is 1243. And just try to avoid your mother. You know how she is. Also here, read it inside though. I better go stay well talk soon" Phil said handing me an envelope then getting into the car, but not leaving before he rolled down his window. "Room is under Westen have fun" Phil said zooming away.
I sighed and rolled my suitcase through the automatic doors till I reached the desk where a young blonde man stood, he glanced up and smiled. He was alright looking; I smiled as I stopped in front of the desk. "Hi...I have a reservation or something" I said my voice a little bit shaky from my mother still. The young guy smiled hiding a laugh. "What's your name miss please" he asked politely his voice welcoming and soft. "Westen. Alice Westen" I said softly, the young guy nodded. What's his name? The guy looked at me and smiled "My name is Adam" he said. My hands flew to my mouth. Did I say that out loud?!? Adam laughed and walked around the desk a key card in his hand. In a swift motion he signalled to follow him and also grabbed the handle for my suitcase and wheeled it into the elevator with me close behind.
We both stood in the elevator, doors closed. Adam swiped the card and pressed level 9 top floor. I raised my eyebrows. "Aren't you meant to be at the desk?" I asked curiously, that's just me all over is in it. Adam shrugged "meant to, can't be asked. Plus you're freaking Alice Western! Jeez, your dad, Mr Westen, is kind of a big deal. Having his daughter here, is freaking huge" Adam exclaimed. I lowered my head. I should be happy. Dad is a big shot. He's alive and well. I should be happy, right? Adam realized that he touched a nerve so he shut up.
DING.
The doors opened to the elevator onto the 9th floor, he leads me down the small hallway with a smile on his face. "Penthouse, I'm happy to show you around" Adam said opening the only door in the small hallway; it opened up into a massive room.
The room had two L shaped sofa's along with a flat screen TV on the wall. I gasped walking in, mark behind me placing my suitcase by the sofa. I ran through a set of doors to be lead into the bedroom, it had a queen's size bed with black sheets on it. The walls were beige/dark grey (basically black) walls. It was really nice; I opened a door next to the bed it opened up into a walk in closest, not very big. But still wow. I went through all the rooms, there were: three bedrooms, three on suit bathrooms (one for each bedroom) a walk in wardrobe for each bedroom, living room area with kitchen area next to it.
I stumbled back into the living room where Adam was standing grinning like the Cheshire cat. "You also have a pool and a balcony just there" Adam said pointing to the close curtains, I rushed over to the curtains and flung them open just to see the whole of Barcelona, the view may I point out. Also a balcony with a pool on it! I felt like I could faint. "Food is stocked and replaced everyday when you're out" Adam said walking next to me. Still grinning like the Cheshire cat. I nodded still in a state of awe. I looked to my right to see my reflection in the mirror, I was skinny. But not scary skinny. I have a wonderful chest, just a good size, I was around a size 6/8 ish in clothes, my brown hair was up in a pony tail, and I also have deep emerald/sky blue eyes. Bit of a mix I know, I was also a slight tan colour, my natural colour before you say ANYTHING.
I wore converses with plain black jeans and a jack skellington jumper. With a pair of whit headphones around my neck. I look pretty damn fine....
Shaking my head, I got my self back into reality. "You okay Alice?" Adam asked, worry in his voice. I nodded but to be honest I didn't feel okay. More kind of sick plus my ribs hurt a lot right this minute. I breathed in heavily another bad decision, my ribs hurt a lot by that one action, and I cringed. Stepping back a few steps, my vision started to get blurry, I stumbled a little falling backwards. Everything went dark.
