Clawen • What comes next

|| CHAPTER 14 ||

After finishing their food, they all ventured out to find a hotel with a room available. Searching for hours, since it was in the middle of town. A lot of hand holding and leaning on each other. At one point, Owen had to pick Maisie up because she looked like her legs were about to give out under her. They walked up and down the streets, with Maisie on Owen's back and Claire clinging to his side.

"Should we check here?" Claire asked as she came to a stop and looked to her right. Owen turned his head and got a skeptical look on his face, when his eyes landed on the definitely 5-star hotel. "Claire, that looks a little expensive, don't you think?" He asked her. She turned to look at him and found Maisie asleep on his back, her face in Claire's direction and she couldn't help but smile. She got her thoughts together and looked at Owen with a smirk. "You obviously have no idea how much you get paid as a manager of a huge theme park. Even tho I got less because I'm a woman, doesn't mean I didn't make a great living" She said and let go of Owen's arm to walk inside the doors of the very fancy hotel. Owen followed with a sleeping Maisie on his back.

They went to the desk and the managers there looked at them a little weird. At first Claire was about to scold the hell out of them, but then she remembered she wasn't wearing her business wear and the two others definitely didn't look any better.

Claire walked up to the desk and asked if they had any rooms available for the night. The three people standing behind it, continued to look at her with a disgusting wonder in their eyes. "I'm sorry miss, I don't think this hotel fits your needs" One of the cockier looking workers said, which made the two others giggle and look away. Claire put her elbow on the desk and leaned forward with squinted eyes. "Trust me, I know what you mean and I can tell you, I have more than enough money to pay for one of your best rooms if need be" Claire said.

Owen watched the whole thing from a small distance, still able to hear it all. He couldn't help but smile when Claire turned on her boss mode.

"Miss I'm sure you can find another hotel that is more your style" The desk guy said. Claire sighed knowing that she had to play one of the cards she didn't like to play. She looked down and then up at the guy before her, with a fierce look in her eyes. She looked ready for war, ready for anything. "Sir, with all due respect, I made more money in a month than you make here in three years. If you don't believe me, google Jurassic World incident and click on any of the articles that pop up. What you will find mentioned, is me. The manager of that park at the time it was open. So, if you think I don't have enough money because I don't look like a manager at the moment, think again" Claire finished and took a deep breath.

It was obvious that the desk guy didn't believe her because he was about to google it when one of the guys behind him, showed him his phone. Claire knew instantly that what was on that phone was what would get them a room in this damn disrespectful hotel.

"So how many beds will you be needing?" He asked Claire who smirked at him in a devilish way. Owen, who he to admit to himself that he was slightly aroused at what had just happened, could have sworn that the guy behind the desk almost peed his pants.

They took the elevator to the 8. Floor and found their room. Claire opened it with one of the keycards they had gotten and held the door open for Owen to step inside, since his hands were busy holding the sleeping girl. Claire stepped inside the room herself and closed the door after her. Owen was currently laying Maisie down on one of the double beds that Claire had requested, because why not.

Owen turned his body after tugging in the girl, and found his other girl looking around the room fiddling with her hands. He walked over slowly while attempting to get her attention by calling her name. Her head flicked to his him and her green orbs landed on his. She let an embarrassed smile grace her lips and tucked her mouth to the side.
