In search of you

I sigh as I sit down in the back room. I was on break from work at Hôtel de NELL in France.

I lean back in my chair and close my eyes. I hear the bell ding at the front desk, signaling that someone was waiting to be helped.

I groan and sit there for a few more minutes. I was thinking about Ikuto and how he use to tease me. How I missed him so much.

I wish I could find him. I traveled all over looking for him but I found nothing. I hear a couple more persistent dings before I sigh and stand up.

I was very thin due to not eating very much. I had bigger boobs and I had gotten taller but that's all. I'm not much of a beauty, I wouldn't be surprised if Ikuto didn't love me back anymore.

Since I didn't have a good paying job I couldn't eat or take care of myself. I walked to the front desk and saw a tall figure with a green winter coat on and a hood covering his face.

His hands were red from the freezing cold outside. It was winter now and I knew very well how cold it could get because I didn't have a warm home.

"Sorry sir I didn't realize nobody was out here to help you." I say. I smile at him. He looks at me, but I couldn't get a good view of his face.

"That's fine, I just need a room for a few days miss." He said in a deep husky voice. I wasn't going to lie, I was a bit turned on by it.

"Yes sir, is there a specific room you'd like?" I ask. My eyes felt heavy as it was 11:45 at night. The man stayed quiet for a while before talking.

"No, any room is fine, but I would like a spacious room, if it's not to much trouble." He said. I nod my head.

"No trouble at all sir, say your french almost sounds natural." I say as I disappear under the counter to grab papers.

I come back up and set the paper in front of him. "Yes I've been around the world, and yourself?" He asks. I smile as I grab a pen.

"I am from Japan but I've also traveled around the world as well. Please sign these papers sir." I say. This man made me so relaxed and comfortable.

Something about him was familiar but I couldn't quite place it. He takes the pen out of my hand and they were really cold. He signs the paper then hands me the pen.

I smile and take the pen and paper, put them away and walk him to his room, with the room key in my hand. I walk over to the end of the counter and walk over to the man.

"Follow me please." I say. The man nods and he follows me as I go up the stairs down a hallway coming to a stop beside the elevator.

I remember that I was being very rude. I hadn't asked to carry his luggage!! I turn to the tall man, suddenly noticing that his shoulders looked tense.

I look up to his hidden face. "Sir would you like me to carry your luggage?" I ask. He laughs a little.

"You're a little thin to be handling that, besides I only have a few clothes in my bag." His husky voice rang out. I blushed.

Wait why the heck am I blushing!? I nod quickly and turn away as I press the up button on the elevator. It doesn't take long before it comes to our level.

I walk in and so does the man. The doors close and I press the 3rd floor button.

We go up but suddenly stop. I sigh. "Not again, piece of crap of elevator!" I say as I kick the side.

The elevator starts going back up and the doors slide open. I walk out with the man. "Sorry that elevator sucks." I say.

He just nods and we walk down a few halls until we reach his room. I unlock it and open it for him to go in. He walks in.
