Lea Manager of the Blue Nile Sports bar^^^^

I could have died right there at the table I felt like I was melting. I asked the waiter for a to go box, so I could go to my room and call Lisa and tell her what had happened. I was so excited when I got to my room, barely putting the box of food down good before pulling my phone out calling Lisa. 

“What’s up Lea”, she said on the other end. “I’ve got exciting news”. “

What is it Lele” Lele is a nickname she calls me. “Ok, so I just had lunch with the manager James is his name”. 

“Whhhaaattt? I want to know everything, she said yelling like a mad woman. I started telling her details from the beginning of when I seen him at the front desk till the end of lunch. 

“O.M.G what, for real girl I’m coming over, need me to bring anything, can I bring T”? She asked . “Yes, and I need some more weed”. 

“Ok I’m on my way after I pick up T from work”. 

“Cool see you then, I’ll have us some drinks when you get here”. I hung the phone up and was about to change clothes when I heard a knock on the door “room service” the voice on the other side said. I opened the door to a vase with a single white rose in it, and everything I asked for, along with some chocolate covered strawberries and a note.

The guy pushed the tray in and said if you need anything else just let me know, smiling I said thanks and gave him a tip and he left. I went into the room changed my clothes to something more comfortable came back to read the note, it said, “You are such a beautiful woman, thank you for brightening up my day. Hope to see you again.  James”. 

 My heart just melted. I took a couple of strawberries and ate them as I made me a drink. Sat down on the couch and turned the TV on, picked up my phone and started checking my emails, and texted my sister to see how her day was going. I had downed two drinks, and ate the rest of my food, and most of the strawberries, and was about to make my third drink, when I heard a knock on the door. The voice said “open the door it’s me”, I opened the door to Lisa and “T”.

Told them whats up and gave them both hugs and invited them in. T said “I brought some drinks, but it looks like you got that covered. Well can’t hurt to have more, this is a nice room Lea, does the couch turn into a bed just in case we get too drunk to leave”, and Lisa looked at me as T was checking to see. 

“It does, looks like we might be sleeping over”, laughing as Lisa told T to make her a drink. “So who sent the flowers Le”? T said. "The manager", she said giggling. 

“Lisa, what the hell man”, I said slapping her on the arm.

“ Now you know I tell her everything Le, don’t act surprised”, Lisa said giggling. Oh yes of course I said in my head.  “Oh first date with a man and he’s giving you the world, y’all fucked already or something”, T asked as she made all of us some drinks. 

“No for your information, I don’t give up the goodies that easy” sticking my tonuge out at her. “Well you need to”, T said laughing “I know your fingers probably get many cramps”, laughing as she handed me a drink. 

“You’re not funny T, haha laugh it up there is nothing wrong with keeping your cookies in the jar”. 

“I asked Lisa to let me fuck you just once”.

“Now don’t get beat up in here”, Lisa said rolling her eyes away from T. “Awe baby you know I’m just playing with you”, and started kissing Lisa on her cheeks. “You better be”, Lisa said giving T the evil eye. "

Anyways where can we light up I’m ready to smoke? Don’t tell me we got to go down to the car”, T said looking around. 

“Nope follow me” and I took them to the room onto the balcony. “Oh Le I like this, babe we should get a room here, might get a discount now that Le is dating the manager”. 

“I am not we only had one date, shut up T and light the blunt”.

We sat on the balcony enjoying the cool breeze and the good smoke. After sitting out there for awhile T asked if we wanted another drink and we both said yes.  She took our cups and went in to get us some refills.  

“Lisa I can’t believe I’m feeling this way about a man it’s been so long”. “Well girl you just needed the right one to come around or you just got tired of these no good bitches fucking you over. Who knows but take it as it is, don’t put too much thought into it”, Lisa said as she opened the door “It’s getting chilly let’s go in”. 

As we were walking in we heard T talking to someone.   Wonder who that could be OMG I looked at the time, “it’s him Lisa”. “What for real”, she peeped out the door and said “yes it is girl”. 

“How do I look”, trying to fix my hair, “should I put something else on”? 

“Girl no you look good, just take your hair out that ragged ponytail and wear it down”. She helped me fix myself up before we walked into the living room.

“Hello again” Lisa said as she reached her hand out to shake his, “this is my girlfriend “T” she said well you two already met duh she opened the door for you”. 

“Hello James”, I didn’t know rather to give him a hug or shake his hand, Lisa pushed me into hugging him. He wrapped his arms around to hug me. Being so close I could smell his cologne. Damn he smells so good I didn’t want to let go mmmmmmm. Making myself let him go I told him to come have a sit, “T was just making some drinks, you want one”? 

“Yes. I’ll take one, thank you”, he said while taking off his suit jacket and raised his sleeves up while sitting down on the couch. “It seems I’m over dressed”, he said looking at all of us in pajamas. “No it’s fine you look good” while handing him the drink and sat down next to him.
