Gareth was sitting in his seat in the airplane when Marley sat down on her seat beside him. "So how do you feel?" He asked her. "I'm fine as you can see. Do you think that I have not been on an airplane before? I may be a country girl but I have been to other parts of the world."
"I didn't mean it like that. I'm really sorry" he apologised to her. "Gareth I'm not in the mood to talk right now."
Marley stared out of the side window as she witnessed the beauty of Los Angeles. "It's so beautiful here." The cab pulled up infront of the crowne plaza Los Angeles hotel. "We are going to stay here?" She asked Gareth. "Yes" he answered. They both entered the reception which looked busy with a lot of people around.
She sat in a sofa as Gareth talked with a receptionist with blonde curly hair. After they were done the receptionist led them into an elevator.
The elevator opened at the eleventh floor. The receptionist used a key card to open the door of room 336. "Ma'am, this is your room" she smiled. Marley turned to Gareth who was staring at her. "I'll be in my room" Gareth nodded.
The next morning Marley jolted awake to the beeping of her alarm clock. She climbed down from the king sized bed and walked into the bathroom. She heard a knock on the door. "Room service" a male voice uttered behind the door.
She opened the door to reveal a waiter. "Good morning." "Good morning, I'm sorry but, I don't want to eat anything right now." "Understood, ma'am" he smiled.
Gareth came out of his hotel room and knocked on the door of Marley. The door opened to reveal Marley who looked beautiful wearing a black minidress with black flat shoes and her hair held up in a messy bun. "Hello, can we go now?" "Yes" Marley closed the door behind her.
Gareth pulled up infront of a mansion. He stepped out of his car and so did Marley. "Wow! This house........, I mean mansion. Is really enormous" Marley turned to Gareth. "Let's go" They both walked inside the mansion.
They went inside and there were a lot of people around. "That's Mrs Barbara Catrell. She is the widow of your father" Gareth pointed to a woman who looked in her mid fifties. She was plump and she was in a black jumpsuit with her blonde hair held up in a bun.
Marley closed her eyes and stormed out of the livingroom. Gareth followed her outside where she went to stand under a tree.
Marley turned around and she bumped into Gareth. "Marley, what happened in there?" "I'm sorry, I just can't control myself. It's very hard to just take all of this in." "I made a mistake of bringing you over to the funeral mass. Would you like us to go back to the hotel?" She nodded.
At the hotel, Marley was in her room trying to distract herself from thinking of her father when she heard a knock on the door. She went over to the door and opened it to find Gareth. He was dressed up in blue buttoned up shirt with black pants and black sneakers. "You look good. What's the occasion?" She asked him. "I'm taking you out." "On a date?" "Well I guess you can say that. I figured that you need to get out of your room and have some fun" he run his hand in his hair.
"That's very thoughtful of you but, I don't feel like leaving my room. I want to sleep and just think of the other things I need to think about and do in the future."
"Don't refuse. You need to think of something good right now. If you don't I'm gonna make the cute puppy dog face." She watched as his face turned into that of a cute puppy. She stared at him and just couldn't resist the urge to finally say yes.
"Okay, I guess I can have some fun over there. Give me a minute" she closed the door and looked into her closet. She spotted a bright yellow sleeveless dress.
"Well, this looks good" she said to herself.
Marley came out of the bathroom in the dress and sat down on the stool infront of the vanity table. She applied red lipstick on her lips and tied her blonde hair up in a ponytail. She picked up her black clutch bag from her bed and went out of the room where Gareth was leaning against a wall waiting for her.
"Y- y-you look very stunning" he stammered. "Thank you" Marley looked down. "Come on, let's go."
They both arrived at the at the carnival. "The movies?" "Yes. It was the only place I thought of which would be exciting." "You thought well" Marley smiled.
Marley and Gareth exited the movies and they went back to the hotel. They both stopped infront of Marley's hotel room. "Gareth, thanks for everything you did for me today." "There's no need to thank me. I did what I did because it was right." "I'm still thankful to you. Goodnight" she opened the door and went inside.
