Eye Of The Tiger

Chapter 95

After cutting a 4hr car ride into two, Bella gave Rosalie the directions to the Hotel Theodore. She drove up to the front door and was met by a Valet. Bella exited the car and motioned for her to pop the truck and directed the professionally dressed bellhop on what they would be taking inside. As Rosalie exchanged her keys for a ticket she found herself smiling. They had tonight and all day tomorrow to themselves. Maybe she could convince Bella to stay an extra night. Charlie wasn't expecting them for a few days and while training was important, both her and Bella had seen enough that now it was just repetitive.

"Do you want to look around while I check in?" Bella asked.

Rosalie reached for Bella's hand."I'll come with you. We can look around together later."

Walking up to the checkin counter Bella pulled out her ID and credit card and handed them to the receptionist. "Reservation for Shurlong."

The young woman gave her a wide eyed look as she stuttered out."Of course Ms. Shurlong let me just get you checked in and your bags will be brought to your room."

Rosalie rolled her eyes. She sometimes forgot how famous her mate's family was. The attention made her uncomfortable. As vampires they needed to fly under the radar but with Bella that was impossible. Not only because of her last name but because of her appearance also. Where as Rosalie was a classic beauty, Bella was an exotic beauty who looked like an otherworldly goddess. She wasn't thinking that just because Bella was her mate, she had seen the looks Bella got and heard the comments. She knew Bella was gorgeous and how that would affect their lives as they were supposed to grow older, she wasn't sure.

"Ok, looks like you have reserved the penthouse. That's the 19th floor. Here are your keys and if you follow Mark, he will escort you and your luggage to your private elevator. He will then give you a tour and explain all the amenities." The receptionist said handing Bella a small envelope. "thank you for choosing the Hotel Theodore Ms. Shurlong and please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you enjoy your stay."

Bella put her arm over Rosalie's shoulder and pulled her close when she heard the low growl come from her. "I'm sure we will be fine, won't we sweetheart."

The young girl looked at Rosalie and blushed. "Of course. Have a good stay."

Bella felt Rosalie start to relax as she snuggled into her side. "I thought you were feeling more secure with our bond?"

Rosalie wrapped her arm around Bella's waist as they walked side by side together behind the bellhop. "I am. I know you love me and are as committed to me as I am to you, but that doesn't mean I have to like when people are obviously hitting on you. It's disrespectful."

"It's a good thing none of the wolves were here, they would have probably been madder than you are." Bella said.

"They are rather protective of me." Rosalie agreed.

"This is your private elevator. No other guest will have access so you will have complete privacy." Mark explained as he ushered them into the elevator.

As the elevator doors opened up Rosalie looked around confused. "Where is our room?"

"This is part of your room." Mark explained. "The penthouse suite consists of the entire 19th floor. Where would you like your bags?"

"The master bedroom please." Bella replied.

Rosalie looked around in awe."Bella, why did you book us an entire floor of a hotel ?"

"Well when I was looking for a nice place to stay I found this hotel. This reminded me of an apartment more than a hotel room and I thought it would be nice to have the experience of living together. It's silly isn't it?" Bella asked now rethinking her decision.

Rosalie gave her a big smile."No it's perfect. It will be nice to pretend this is our life for a little while. At least until we have to go back to dealing with the real world and all it's problems."

Mark entered the living room with an empty luggage cart."If you wish I can give you a tour."

"That's ok, we will look around ourselves."Bella told him as she walked him to the elevator, giving him a generous tip.

Mark looked at the money in his hand and went wide eyed. As the elevator doors were closing he stammered out. "Thank you ma'am. Enjoy your stay."

"Bella come look at the view." Rosalie called out from the patio.

Bella walked up behind Rosalie and put her arms around her waist and laid her chin on Rosalie's shoulder looking out at the city skyline."It's gorgeous."

"Did you notice the hot tub?" Rosalie asked.

Bella chuckled. "I did."

Rosalie turned around to face Bella and wiggled her eyebrows. "It is a lot bigger than my tub. We would have a lot more room. To stretch out."

"What part of your body do you wish to stretch out exactly?" Bella asked.

Rosalie laughed. "My whole body but if I could get the chance to stretch out your body as well I wouldn't mind."

Bella gave her a kiss. "What do you want to do tonight? Do you want to stay here or do you want to go out? They left us with a fully stocked kitchen so I could eat here."

Rosalie thought about it. "Do you know what I would really love to do? I want to go dancing."

"You want to go dancing, then we will go dancing." Bella told her.

"Do you not want to?" Rosalie asked."It's something I always saw from afar. You know in movies and tv. I always wanted to go and dance with my mate when I found one."

Bella smiled. "It sounds perfect. I've never been dancing before so I'm not sure how great I'll be but I'll give it a try."

Rosalie smirked. "I've seen you move your body, you have plenty of rhythm. How are we going to get into a club if both of us are considered underage?"

"Well unlike you I am actually underage. However one of the perks of being a Shurlong other than booking and checking into my own hotel room, is that I can get in anywhere as soon as they realize who I am. All I have to do is have someone call ahead." Bella told her.

"I'm going to have to get used to living the life of royalty aren't I?" Rosalie asked.

"It has its perks. Why don't you find a club you want to go to while I eat, then we can relax for a little bit until it's time to get dressed and head for the club." Bella said.

"Sounds good. I'll cook." Rosalie told her.

Bella gave her a kiss."Thank you sweetheart."
