Manny:
Knock Knock Knock"Who is it?!" I yelled, knowing it wasn't my uncle, he's working.
"House keeping" a light feminine voice called back.
I threw the blankets off of me and walked towards the door. I opened it to see a surprise. It's the girl that passed out.
We introduced ourselves and she went to start cleaning. I grabbed my hotel key and walked out to the vending machines.
I grabbed myself a bag of Dorito's and M&M's for her. I hope she likes chocolate.
I matched my way back to the room to see her changing the sheets.
"Do you want some help?"
"No, no. It's okay, but thanks" She said. I nodded and sat on the desk chair.
"Want a snack? I bought one for you"
She looked at me with big brown eyes.
"You did?"
"Yeah, here" I reached into my pocket and handed her the M&M's.
"My favorite! How'd you know?" She asked excitedly.
"Lucky guess"
"So what do you want in return? For me to sleep with you or something?"
I looked at her confusingly. Is this a joke?
"What are you talking about, Rosie?"
"Oh come on, Manny. You did something for me so you must want something back"
"I can't just give you something, because I want to? Have you never got a gift just to have it?"
She looked down and got quiet.
"I'm sorry, I always assume all males are alike in this world"
"Well whatever you're used to, I can tell I'm not like that" I replied.
"Well, you're room is done, I better go get the other ones done. Thanks for the snack"
"Yeah no problem" I answered as she was walking out.
"Oh and Rosie" She looked back.
"Yeah?"
"I hope to see you again some time"
She smiled and left, closing the door behind her.
