"The Only Way I Know" (A Harry Styles Fanfiction)

Chapter 8

After the long day I had yesterday I was glad when I woke up to see that it was 10 o'clock. I really did need some extra sleeping hours. I rustled around in bed for a little bit looking through my phone and checking all of my social media pages. I clicked on instagram first. Yep nothing out of the ordinary just the norm. Haha I come across a picture of my mom and Jade which warmed my heart. I mentally reminded myself to call them today, since I accidentally forgot last night. Though it was a little odd I hadn't woke up to a zillion phone calls and texts messages from my mom. But hey I'm not complaining.

I hopped up out of the bed and flicked on the tv. Boring, boring, boring. Oh whats this? It was something about that boyband that sung that song I had heard on the radio yesterday. The news reporter was saying how the boys have been spotted in Arkansas. Haha woah that's kinda wierd. She went on saying how they were supposedly staying at a hotel but were trying to keep themselves 'unnoticed' so that they wouldn't get mobbed. That must be aweful. The boys names were Louis, Zayn, Liam, Harry, and Niall. Okay. I thought nothing of it. I just picked up the remote and turned off the tv and walked into the bathroom.

Holy shit. The bathroom at this hotel is sick. I wish I was staying longer but I wanted to get back onto the road. I hurried up and got dressed and packed up my stuff into my bag again. Not even bothering to worry about makeup. Who would I see that I cared about anyways.

I eventually made my way down the lobby and to the reception desk.

"Good Morning mam. How was your stay?" The receptionist different from the one last night asked.

"Very good. Thank you." I went through my bag and got my wallet out ready to pay. The receptonist asked my name.

"Shay Steeley." The receptionist gave me a confusing look.

"Um dear, it seems that somebody already paid for your room." That couldn't be possible I told the receptionist last night that I would pay when I checked out in the morning. And my mom and sister had no idea where I was staying so they wouldn't have been able to pay for my room. This is so wierd.

"There's no possible way. Nobody knows that I'm here. It's impossible." I was feverishly awaiting her response.

"Well dear with all due respect, there is a way and your room is already paid for." She said adding a little smile at the end. This is wierd. Way to weird for my liking. So I spoke up.

"Do you mind me asking..who paid for the room?" She typed something into the computer and pushed her glasses further up onto the bridge of her nose and squinted.

"Ahh yes. Your room seems to be paid by somebody under the name of 'Anonymous'. Never in my day have I ever heard this one before." The receptionist named Carol, I duley noted, chuckled. And then tried to recompose herself. Good one Carol.

"Oh, okay thank you for your help." I shoved my card back into my wallet. And shoved my wallet into my purse and made my way over to my car. I walked out of the lobby and you have got to be kidding me. What is it with this hotel. Those damn girls are out here again. This hotel is no doubt spooky. First all those girls, accidentally running into that boy, and now somebody paying for my room.

I walked out to my car and put my key in the ignition and started my baby up. I backed out of the lot and went out the front exit not wanting to have yet another encounter with those girls. Once I had gotten off of the town roads and back onto the highway, I hooked my phone up to the cars bluetooth system and gave both mum and Jade a call. I told them both about my weird encounters at this hotel. Jade laughed and agreed with me on it being 'spooky' but mum on the other hand said maybe I had a secret admirer. Okay mum funny. NO. Thats wierd as hell. Seeing as I only spoke to one other person yesterday, the guy who I ran into and he didn't even ask me my name so it clearly wasn't him. She just laughed once I told her that. I still insisted it was a stalker. Like thats legit physco weird. Ew. Gross.
