Marisol's POV- July 2018

As Desi and I waited for the receptionist to return with the keys to Chris and Cody's rooms, I turned to my cousin who adjusted her purse on her shoulder.

"I need a shower" I mentioned.

She glanced at me.

"Same"

My schedule this semester was a bit hectic, but I had no class nor did I have to drive to any other sites (vet clinics, farms, any place with animals) on Fridays. That meant I was able to join Desi to watch our boyfriends (and the Dodgers) take on the Milwaukee Brewers this weekend. 

"Want to eat after our long showers?" I questioned.

It was early, and the coffee I had at the airport would not sustain me for long. 

"Ryan Braun's wife, Larisa actually sent me an email with some restaurants and some sites to go see"

Wait, what?

"How do you know Ryan Braun?" I asked.

She smiled.

"Long, long ago we used to work out at the same gym"

I always forget my cousin is still kinda famous. 

"Oooh" I replied.

She nodded.

"I gave him a call, and well he sent me a list,"

"How nice of him" I noted.

We both looked away from each other as the receptionist spoke up,

"Here are your cards, this one is yours Miss Clarke and this one belongs to you Dr. Clarke"

I took my card and watched as Desi took hers.

"Thank you" both Desi and I replied at the same time.

"Enjoy your stay"

Once we were inside the elevator, I sighed.

"I'm so sleepy" I commented

It was obvious she was tired too.

"I really want to skip breakfast and sleep, but I've never been to Milwaukee" I stated.

She knew how much food meant to me, so I got a laugh from her.

"We can just nap with the guys,"

That's right.

"You're right, so I'll call you when I'm out of the shower" I said.

She nodded.

"Yeah, if I don't hear from you in an hour I'll call you," 

"Gotcha, see you in a bit," I told her.

Room service had already stopped by because the room was spotless and the bed was made. Making sure the door was locked, I set my purse on the small couch and slipped my hoodie off. Once my shoes were off, my suitcase (that had everything I needed to get ready) and I went to the bathroom. 

It took me about an hour to shower and get ready (by that I mean blowdrying my hair, changing into an outfit, styling my hair and putting on makeup). I dialed Desi as I set my suitcase next to Cody's.

"Hello," 

"Hey, I just finished getting ready. Do you want to meet in the lobby?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll be right down," 

"Gotcha see you then" I replied.

I got to the lobby before Desi, so I took a seat on one of the fancy couches. Dad had texted me asking how I was doing, so I sent him a quick update on how everything went. Just as I sent the text, someone sat next to me. Glancing up, I saw that someone was Desi.
