Unscripted Affection

1.

I'm on my way to Hollywood.

Well yeah.

World-shattering best-sellers always start this way. Then they start to pour the old commonplaces.Hand in hand walk on the beach, just the two of us, drama, breakup, crying, love confessions in front of everyone in the most drastic way possible.

And, of course, the always perfect "happy ending".

In contrast, I am completely alone, driving on the busy highway in my graphite gray Volvo.
This is the beginning of a much more boring story so we can make sure that it's my story.

My boss (or more precisely
my manager), Jasper called me because
I was asked here by the headquarter of my publisher company for a discussion. Although I have no idea what they want from me. I am a relatively well-known writer
(although who am I to say that)
and almost known everywhere in the States.

However, according to Jasper, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity so I had to go through the selection of clothes,
packing, refueling and almost two days of driving.

I parked in front of the hotel, using the vice brake to stop. I guess it's not difficult anymore to categorize my driving style, which, to put it in the most beautiful way can only be a free-spirited lunatic's style to call.

Grabbing my bag, I opened the
car door and slowly got out of my beloved Volvo. I glided my sunglasses to the top of my head and took a look of the hotel as a worker got into my car and carefully drove it to the underground garage.

The hotel can have four or five stars, located only a few minutes away from a nearby park. The whole place was noisy, colorful and full of life.
I really liked it at first sight. But if I would have known what was waiting for me, I would have probably kicked the worker out of the seat I would have driven home as fast as possible.

However, knowing nothing, relatively
happily, although with a thousand questions in my head, I entered the building in my head. At checking in
I got an entry card at the port after
I announced the name of the customer. Tom Station.

He called me here.

I looked around with the card in my hands and saw that all my stuff disappeared. Wonderful.
I entered the elevator while I wondered about the answer of my answer which simply was: what the hack I am even doing here?

I asked myself a few times, but hasn't found an answer yet.
Suddenly the elevator came to a screeching halt,
interrupting my train of thought.
- What the ... - I looked around confused, not understanding how the elevator  reached the 17th floor in a couple seconds.
I looked at the wall of the elevator. It said that we are on the third floor.

The elevator door opened unexpectedly and two girls entered. If I wanted to sack, I would have guessed them about 15 years old.
They just laughed and recalled a common memory when they noticed me.
The door closed and we were going upwards in a complete silence.

Hey girls! - I smiled at them
kindly.
"Hi," replied the bravest one softly.
I just kept smiling during the elevator
it continued and finally stopped on the seventh
again.
Goodbye - said the bravest one and that's it
they were just getting out of the elevator car when a
shyer girl turned back.
- Maybe we could take a picture together? -
he asked stuttering.
- Of course, we can do it - I answered, to which
both girls sighed in relief
and they stood next to me for the photo.
Thanks a lot! Anyway, imagine
we read all your books - they began
to indulge.
