chapter 2

"He's what and you did not know!"
Coco exclaimed.
"No I didn't" Miranda admitted placing the last piece of clothing into the washing machine, then she turned to walk through the revolving doors that led into the hotel kitchen, Coco walked behind her. "What now?" She asked.
They walked to the staffs locker room. "What do you mean what now?" Miranda turned to Coco with a frown. "We are no longer a couple."she said with a shrug, "Were friends and I'm single once again, that all to it." she sat on the bench with a sign.
"Are you okay" Coco asked with a concerned smile.
"Strange as it is I'm fine." she grinned, "it turns out we make better friends." "Well you have no more excuses you have to come to the club tonight and hear my boy Jason play." Jason was Cocos boyfriend and he was a DJ in one of the local clubs. He had been with Coco for over a year, they were happy and in love. Miranda would sometime envy her friend's happiness, if only she could be that happy and in love, she smiled as her friend's eyes lit up at the thought of her boyfriend.
"Okay, you win, I'll come hang with you guys." Coco grabbed Miranda in a hug, jumping up and down in excitement.
"Yessss!" She sang. Miranda laughed as her friend started to dance to an imaginary song, she join in and started shaking her hips and moving to a jive and a groove only the two friends could hear. They were so caught up in their dance that they did not hear the door open.

Derek stood behind the hotels manager as he opened the staff's locker room. Derek had requested a tour of the hotel telling the manager Mr James Masse he needed to inspect the hotel to ensure all was up to his boss standards, he had opted to keep his identity hidden. Secretly though, he had an agenda, Derek was looking for the maid that was in his room the day before; he could not stop thinking about her. Since their unexpected and uncanny encounter she had invaded his thoughts during the day and his dreams that night with a little feather duster and a very scandalous little black and white maids outfit. 'Lord he didn't know he was into the kinky stuff until he saw this woman.'

As the manager opened the door the first thing that greeted him was a sound of sweet laughter his heart skipped a beat then he saw her, she and another young lady were dancing to what looked like a twist or maybe a jig, he knew how to dance as he had forced himself to take lessons but he had never done much dancing before so he did not know much about the dance they were doing, but she did look good as she swung her hips and twirled the other woman around, some of her hair had spilled out from their tight confinement at the top of her head, they danced and jumped at the base of her neck as she twirled around, Derek was amused she looked so carefree and happy, he wanted to steal some of her laughter for himself.

The manager cleared his throat, the women stood at attention, they were both breathless, their eyes filled with laughter, the woman from his suite looked at him, they stared at eachother and he could feel the physical heat coming from those hazel eyes, neither one of them dared look away, her chest rising up and down as she struggled to steady her breathing. Her friend poked her in the rib causing her to look away, she blushed. "Ladies," the manager said in a deep formal baritone,  "This is Mr Derek Cross he is from Damien Group of Companies, they have bought over the resort from Mr Bronas," he turned to Derek, who had not taken his eyes off Miranda. "Mr Cross this is Ms Coco Johnson." he introduced her friend and Derek shook her hand. "It's nice to meet you sir." Coco said in her most politely formal tone as she shook his hand in return, she was a local so Derek smile, he like the local accents, it was a mix of formal to brocken english.

They moved to the woman he was most interested in, she was standing by the locker door, she looked up at him and stuck her hand out not waiting for the manager to make the formal introductions. "Hey I'm Miranda Perry,"she smiled a little too brightly,  she then stepped up to him bringing them inches away from each other.
'What the hell Miranda do you just lose all your senses every time you look into those eyes,there you go again being all stupid and boldface.  what was it about this man that made her say things without thinking, she was acting like a fool.'. Miranda berated herself.
Derek took hand she offered into his, he felt her shiver as they touched.
