Steph's head was spinning as her insides began  tingling after her first solo Jordan show. She was so excited she didn't know what to do. Forgetting herself for a moment she actually reached for her cell phone to call....oh that's right who was she going to call, all her friends were all long asleep by now.
She decided to use the restroom before she left and of course there was a long line filled with drunk women. She waited patiently, recounting every moment in her head. As she was leaning against the wall she saw Bubba emerge from the stairs, Jordan in tow behind him. Her heart leapt into her throat. She kept her eyes on Jordan and he actually looked at her and mouthed bye as he almost ran out the door. She couldn't catch her breath. She put a hand to her chest and sighed up against the wall, which warranted some wary glances from the party women but she couldn't care less. This by far was the best night of her life.
On the short drive back to the hotel she was reliving every minute of the encounter. She had to make sure she took note of everything because she knew her friends would want to know everything. They would ask she laughed to herself, if they could only see her now! When she got back to the hotel she flopped down on the bed and let out a relaxing breath.
"Oh god, this has been so great. I am so glad I did this" she told the ceiling as she lay there almost trembling with excitement.
She bounced back up still energized and began getting ready for bed. When she finished she stood in the mirror looking at her PJ's and her freshly scrubbed face. She smiled to herself and then laughed, if they only could see her now she thought again. She was still so jazzed with nervous energy she wonder how she would ever get to bed. She walked over and fished in her purse for her pack of cigarettes. When she pulled out her last pack she found it empty.
"Fuck!" Steph  mumbled as she chucked the crushed pack haphazardly at the trash can.
"Oh well," she looked at her reflection in the mirror "no one knows me here" she decided and left the room to go on the hunt. There were no machines to be found at the hotel. She spotted a mini-mart across the road and decided to venture across the 4 lane highway. All the lights were on and there were cars in the lot which only increased her confusion when she found the doors locked. She tried again and had to regain her balance when the door wouldn't give way. Shit she thought now what am I going to do. She was walking defeated back to her room when she heard someone holler "Hey!"
She didn't stop because as she reminded herself earlier, she didn't know anyone here.
"Hey smiley" rang out a little louder this time.
Smiley? That got her attention and she looked around for the source. No one there. Was she losing her mind or just hearing things? She shook it as to clear it. Turing back around she happened to see Bubba's smiling face leaning over the railing at her.
"Oh hey, you again" she said with that big smile again.
"Come on up here" he said motioning with his hand.
"Ok" she said without a thought for what she looked like or had on.
When she was walking up to him she noticed he was talking to Chad.
"What are you doing out at this hour" Bubba said with a welcoming smile as she approached.
Chad gave her ensemble a weary glance and turned his back again.
"Oh, out searching for bad habits" she said as she bounced on the ball of her feet the last few steps.
"Well I am crashing, check you in the am man" Chad said giving Bubba's out stretched had a complicated slap. "Nice to see you again" Chad said with backwards gesture but not actually looking back at her. He went into his room and you could hear the locks click into place.
"Well isn't he pleasant" Steph mumbled rolling her eyes
