Love Story: Us

Chapter 49

(Rose)

"We have come to our stop. Now pay up." The cab driver says. I see Shilo start to get his money. I quickly pull out the credit card and hand it to the driver. Shilo then glares at me angrily.

"Sorry." I tell Shilo.

"Do you think this is a joke!?" The driver asks.

"What?" I ask.

"This card is declined!" The driver says angrily.

"Here, Sir." Shilo says as he gives him the cash.

"Get out of my cab!" The driver yells. We get out and he speeds off.

"Well, he was rude. Did you have this problem the first time?" I ask Shilo.

"No actually. The guy who took us was very nice, he wasn't even mad when I couldn't pay him." Shilo says.

"You didn't pay him?" I ask.

"When I went to the bank, I transferred the money. I will." He says.

"Good." I say.

"Rose, he said your card was declined." Shilo says.

"I know. Looks like you actually did jinx us. My parents must have frozen it." I say.

"Well, it's good I took out the money. That cab driver looked really mad." Shilo said.

"Let's just go get the hotel rooms." I say. We walk into the hotel that the cab driver stopped at. It was the best hotel, that was closest to the castle, we could find. We stop at the front desk.

"Good afternoon! Do you have a reservation?" The woman said. Shilo puts his head on the desk.

"I forgot we had to reserve the rooms." Shilo says upset.

"I believe there is a room clear, that you two will love. It even has a beautiful view of King Louis's Castle!" The woman says.

"View of King Louis's Castle?" I ask curiously.

"Wait did you say a room as a single?" Shilo ask.

"Well, it is the Honeymoon Suite. I figured newlyweds such as yourself would enjoy it and at a wonderful discount today. However, if you want two separate rooms I could find them, but they don't have as good a view as the Honeymoon Suite." The woman says.

"H-Honeymoon Suite? Listen, we're not-" Shilo starts but I interrupt.

"About to deny that offer! Well, take it! Right, Sweetums?" I say as I pretend to be lovey-dovey. Shilo just looks at me, confused.

"Yes, Shnookums." He says, going along. He then puts an arm around my waist and pulls me closer.

"We would love the room. Just put it under Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein." He adds.

"Great! I'll be your concierge, Jessica! Let me get the room key." The woman says.

(Shilo)

Jessica then walks away. I then let go of Rose and glared at her.

"Rose why did you do that? Now we are going to be stuck in one room again." I say.

"Well, I thought it would be an advantage to see the castle." Rose explains.

"I guess this way we could save money." I say.

"Sure... Where did the name Goldstein come from?" Rose asks.

"I honestly don't know. It was the first thing that came to mind." I say.

"Mr. and Mrs.Goldstein, your room keys." Jessica says as she hands them to us.
