My Best Mistake

My Best Mistake - Chapter 3

I woke up by slamming my head in the window. Damn. What was that?! I looked around seeing an amused look on Charlie’s face. The car had stopped in a random spot in the parking lot.

“You’re such an arse.” I muttered under my breath, he heard though and snorted. I opened the door and slammed it shut walking toward what I supposed was the Motel. But when I looked up I saw that this wasn’t a Motel, this was totally a 5star Hotel.

It was beautiful, like really beautiful. My jaw dropped while I was looking at this stunning hotel when something slammed my ass. I yelled surprised..well maybe scared. I turned around angrily and slapped Charlie’s face instead. He looked surprised for a while, and I decided to take my bag from the car. When I came back, Charlie had his old smirk on his stupid face.

“Where are we?” I asked heading towards the hotel.

“Des Moines - town in Iowa.” He said following me. “Ryan and the others will be here in 2 hours they kind of drove really slowly.” He said amused. I am sure that the guys weren’t driving slowly; they are late because Charlie drives extremely fast and I couldn’t complain since I had been pretending to be asleep.

We entered the Hotel, and it was even nicer inside, I gasped happily that I would be living here instead of a dirty, cheap Motel. We headed to the reception, and the girl smiled kindly towards Charlie.

“How can I help you?” She asked flirting with Charlie not even looking at me. That’s just unbelievable.

“We need a king-sized suite.” Charlie replied with a smile. What?

What about me?! Damn I sort of don’t want to pay for this Hotel; I had planned my money for Vegas.

“Sure. For you Miss?” she asked annoyed by my presence. Huh?

“Um...” I started hesitantly.

“We are staying together of course.” Charlie trailed me off. I looked at him in disbelief.

“So you do need an apartment with 2 bedrooms, don’t you?” The girl at the reception asked hopefully.

“Yeah.” I said quickly “That would be great.” I said it slyly. If we share an apartment here, he will certainly pay for it. But then even a better idea came on my mind, and I smiled smugly towards the girl “Do you have an apartment with 3 bedrooms? We are actually 7 people here.” I asked smiling.

She looked at Charlie who was clenching his fists by now and responded slowly “Yeah. The presidential apartment; there are 3 bedrooms: 2 with king-sized bed rooms in one of them is one more single bed, and in another room is a twin bed. It’s actually for 7 people exactly. There is a nice living area, a big kitchen and a really big terrace with a quite large Jacuzzi.” She said, and I squealed happily and wrapped my arms around Charlie’s neck.

He seemed surprised again but then put the hand on my lower back and smiled towards the reception girl “We will get it.” Then he pulled his head towards mine and whispered in my ear “You know you owe me now, right?” Oops.

He gave the receptionist his credit card while I was smiling sweetly at him. He signed the bill which was $2.799. Gosh!!! And now I owe him something. It’s too much for a room at the Hotel.

“Thanks.” He said and took his Visa card to put it back in his wallet.

“You’re welcome Mr. McCarty.” The girl giggled.

“Just Charlie, Shelby.” He read her name tag and winked at her.

I rolled my eyes at them and started heading towards the elevators.

When I entered in the elevator Charlie came after me, and I wondered how fast he had been so he could catch up with me. “Where did you think you were going?” He asked suddenly.

I turned to take a look of his face which was concerned “To the room.” I said slowly oblivious why he was kind of mad at me.

“You should have waited for me. I got the key.” He replied coolly.

I didn’t say anything. We got to the last floor and entered our apartment. I was so excited. I started to walk through the living room touching everything. I grinned at Charlie who was watching me with an amused expression.

After 15 minutes, I've studied all the rooms and choose the one with the king-sized bed and another single bed. I’ll be here sleeping with Elle and Jess. Jess is one of my best friends, you’ll meet her later.

Charlie of course wanted to share the room with me, and when I said that he was a sick pervert, he walked out of the door and was to go to the other king-sized bedroom but I pulled him into the double-bed room. When he started complaining, I reasoned my point telling him that in that room will be Karen and Mike, which made him look at me horrified.

“What?” I snapped.

“I actually want to sleep not to listen to moans in the hotel room I paid for. Well if it’s not you moaning.” He said casually.

I took his bag and threw it on one of the beds. I cleared my throat to ease my awkwardness and started heading out of this room, but Charlie grabbed my arm.

“Hey, I’m just messing with you.” He said slyly and released his grip on my arm “Go and take a shower if you want. We’ll order some food in the room. I’m starving; we haven't stopped on our way to eat.” He told me and walked in his room’s bathroom.

I am starving too, badly. I walked to my room but stopped when I saw the terrace which I haven’t seen before. I walked over and opened the door. It was immense. You can throw a party here; at least 50 people can come. Then I saw a large Jacuzzi, you can even swim there. I smiled to myself and got in the bathroom quickly. I showered and took my bikini from the bag I had with me. I wrapped the towel around myself and entered the living area, where I saw Charlie talking on the hotel’s phone with someone.

“Oh, here you are Candy.” He said and when he looked at me, his eyes widened.

“We got a Jacuzzi.” I said to his obliviousness.

“Aah...um...ok. I was wondering what do you want to eat?” He asked. He was talking with some chef probably.

“I want chicken teriyaki and orange juice.” I flashed him a fake smile and went to the terrace.

I put the towel on some random chair and got in the water. It was warm and nice. I was swimming when I felt that someone got into my big Jacuzzi. I looked over and saw Charlie in his swimming shorts smirking at me. I tried to push back my not so appropriate thoughts.

“What’s up?” he asked seeing my blush and grinned at me.

“Not much.” I lied.

He took some water in his palms and squirted it at me.

“Hey!” I yelled at him.

“Chill, you still do owe me.” He teased shutting me up.

“When will the dinner arrive?” I asked changing the subject.

“In a few...” He leaned towards me.

“Wha- What are you d-doing?”

“Just messing around.” He smirked, and I squirted some water at him too.

“Hey! What are you doing?” He shouted at me playfully.

“Messing around.” I teased.

He leaned forward, but there was a knock on the door. I took my towel happily that he hadn’t done anything whatever he was going to do. I walked over the door and opened it.

“Hey Candy! What a place... What the Heck?!” Elle shouted surprised when someone wrapped his hands around my waist letting my towel slip down, and putting his chin on my right shoulder.

Oh my gosh?! They don’t think we did something, do they?
