Elevator ~ e.d.

18

I glance over at Katie. She's out cold.

She's been asleep for a while now. We're almost to the hotel so I won't have to be lonely much longer.

It's late so chances are I'll pass out as soon as I reach the bed. Even though driving doesn't really require much energy it always tends to suck the life out of me.

I finally pull into the hotel parking lot and Katie doesn't even wake up. Not even a stir.

I glance at her and then head into the hotel to check in.

I walk into the hotel and I'm hit with an overwhelmingly clean smell. I guess I'd rather have this smell than a nasty smell.

I sigh as I approach the desk. A middle aged lady glances up at me. "Um I have a room under Dolan." She doesn't say anything. Just nods at me and presses a few keys in the computer.

She stands up, still silent and grabs the keys. "It's room 203." She mutters passing me the keys. I flash her a slight smile and head back to the shinny doors the room keys in hand.

The slick doors slide open with a hiss and I make my way back to the car shoving the keys into my pocket.

I open the passenger door first. I unfasten Katie's seatbelt and she whimpers slightly. "We're here. I've got the bags." I mutter softly.

She nods slightly and rubs her eyes. She lets out a quiet yawn as I open up the back door to reach for our bags.

I grab our bags and Katie's already out of the car. She's probably beyond ready to go to bed.

"Let's get you to bed." I say switching both bags to one hand and placing the other hand on the small of her back.

She folds her arms across her chest showing she's somewhat cold.

The doors open with another hiss and I lead the way to the elevator. The lady at the desk once again doesn't say anything, just stares. What a bitch.

I press the button to the elevator and the doors swing open within seconds. We step on quickly and as the doors shut Katie lays her head on my shoulder. I chuckle at her kiddish act.

The doors swing back open and I lead the way, yet again.

I stop in front of the door and Katie looks around. Almost checking the place out.

I slide the card into the slot and it clicks saying it's unlocked. I push the door open and Katie's quick to follow me in.

I sit our bags down and Katie quickly unzips hers. She pulls out a pair of shorts and a simple t-shirt.

She lifts her shirt over her head and I stiffen. I've seen her naked before but I don't think I could ever get used to it.

"What?" She chuckles now standing in her bra and matching underwear. I shake my head and look down at my bag.

She smirks and slips her t-shirt over her head.

I smile to myself as I take my shirt off. Is she really this comfortable around me?

It's been a minute but I just finished reading this book called The Leaving. 10/10 would recommend.
