When You Wish Upon A Star

Stuck With You

You stayed at a hotel, it was quite a posh one, lots of celebrities always stayed there so you were happy and excited you had the chance to stay there. Having just had dinner, you got in the elevator back to your room, and a woman followed behind you. The doors closed as she put the floor number 6 in, and looked at you.
You nodded.
"Same floor" You mouthed.
She giggled and nodded, and took a step back as the elevator jumped and moved up. In the corner of your eye, you saw she was wearing a blouse and some jeans, and plimsolls. Wrapped round her neck was a scarf, and a-top that was her delicate face. It was covered in wrinkles, she had a timid resting face, her smile was nervous and her glasses protected her glass-like eyes that looked like the earth. She had very prominent cheekbones, and those were covered with grey-blonde hair. She caught your look, and smiled at you.
"Just had dinner?" She said, making conversation.
"Yeah it was really lov-" Your reply was cut off by a sudden stop in the elevator. You both put your hands out to support you, and you both looked at each other. You felt a panic come over you, and she saw. She took a deep breath and went to the SOS button.
"Hello? Um a lady and I are stuck in the elevator, I think we're on the 4th floor...." She said a little shakily.
"What are your names?" The voice from the speaker said.
"Mary-Louise Gummer and....." She gazes at you, and you say your name into the speaker.
"We're on our way, stay calm, you can't get hurt" The voice said again, and then you both glimpsed at each other. She spotted your nervousness and urged you to sit down.
"Sorry- I-I get a little claustrophobic..." You said as she wrapped her arm round you and slowly cuddled you.
"No worries darling, take deep breathes and cuddle me, it's alright" She said soothingly. You suspect as you're quite a bit younger and younger and a similar age to her children, Meryl came across a little motherly to you and sympathetic. In those few seconds that her warm arms were wrapped round you, and your nostrils were full of her fresh perfume, you calmed down. Meryl smiled still cuddling you as you both gazed at your feet in-front of you. She wriggled and danced her feet around. You giggled and did the same.
"Dancing Queen, young and sweet only 17...." She sang and giggled again, both of your and her feet were dancing in synchronisation and you giggled again.
A couple hours passed, Meryl passed you a little chocolate bar and some water.
"Are you feeling ok darling?" Meryl said.
"Yeah just getting a little tired now... what time is it?"
"It's 10pm o-"
The speaker suddenly connected.
"Thank you for being so patient, we're trying our best, it could be a few hours"
Meryl stood up to answer.
"Thank you, but please hurry a little we're both a little tired..."
"Yes, thank you for your patience Mrs Gummer"
You felt tired, and let out a yawn as Meryl sat beside you again. She smiled and laid your head on her chest.
"Try get some sleep dear... we'll be here a while" She said quietly. You closed your eyes, and yawned again, you felt her soft fingers brush through your hair, and she sang....
"When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are.... When you wish, upon a star, you're dreams come true..." She sang quietly, and soon enough you found yourself fast asleep, cuddled to Meryl.

You stirred a little later, in a bed. You saw a much more lavish room then yours, and you saw Meryl sitting at her vanity wiping makeup off, and her clothes on the sofa.
"Oh you're awake! Go back to sleep darling it's almost 1am!" She said quietly but joyfully.
"A-Are you sure?? I can go back to my normal room, at least let me sleep on the sofa..." You said tiredly as you rub your eyes.
"It's ok angel, try get back to sleep..." She stood up, a silk robe was wrapped round her and her face was bare from makeup, her grey-blonde hair down, and her glasses off. She gently placed a kiss on your head, and walked to the sofa. and pulled a blanket over her turning off the light. You fell asleep, and had the best night ever.

The next morning you woke and saw a coffee beside you, and she smiled at you from the sofa.
"Morning darling, do you want to grab breakfast in a bit?"
