Thorny kind of Love

Chapter 6

Ben's POV

Last night I was feeling a bit disappointed when the young lady was nowhere to be seen, I was hoping that she would be waitressing on me for supper. I was tempted to ask someone her name but then thought it would look suspicious and I didn't want to scare her away.

I ended up having supper with Flynn and Chantal as well as some of their family members. When we were done, I excused myself and went to my room, I needed to call my mom and tell her that I arrived safely. I see my message box flashing and I open it up to 10 messages from Polla. Fuck! Does this girl not have anything better to do? She just doesn't get the hint that if someone avoids you, chances are that they're not interested and they want to be left alone.

I call my mom and assure her that I am safe and that I will enjoy my time here in Cape Town, I tell her of the beautiful sceneries and encourage her to come and visit here one day. She complained of dad and Hannah's agree to disagree arguments, we end up laughing because we know that they're both headstrong and neither one of them never gives up ending in a silent treatment competition for at least 2 days. My mom asks if anything interesting happened so far, I tell her of Flynn's achievement with the B&B and then I tell her of the guy in the parking lot.

I end the call and undress and head for the bed, trying to fall asleep, I can't get that attractive girl out of my head. I wonder if she has a boyfriend, does she live nearby. What am I thinking? I'll only be here for two weeks and I cannot allow that poor girl to fall for something that won't last. I finally fall asleep and dream of her.

I wake up with the sound of message notification. Flynn messaged me to say that he will only be available after 10:00 am to take me to the bank it was now 08:30. I check up on some emails, reply to some, and then head for the shower. I'll go for breakfast at the restaurant afterward.

Bell's POV

"Bell would you be a sweetie and help Claudia in the rooms today? Nadia asks me "Most of the guests have left to go and explore the town today."She continues. "No problem, which rooms will I be cleaning?" I ask. She replies," rooms 4, 5 and 6."

I start with my usual pattern by removing all the bedding, I use the security card door opener, and just as I'm entering room 6, my phone's message notification sounds. I enter the room and read the message from Mike, he confirmed that he dropped my dad at the doctor and will pick him up again in an hour. Just as soon as I pull the bedsheets off, I am startled by the sound of the bathroom opening. I was even more shocked by the sight that appeared before my eyes. It was the same guy that was talking to Flynn.

This must be what a male model looks like up close, the towel tied around his waist exposed the V line, the Pecs on his chest was a sight for sore eyes, and the tattoo of a lion on his forearm compliments his tanned skin.

"Do you need anything?" The guy asks and I instantly cover my eyes and respond with a quivering voice," I'm sorry, I thought no one was here, I'll come back when you have left." I try backing out of the room with my eyes still closed and forgetting the door is ajar, I knock my head into the door, that's going to leave a mark, I tell myself but I couldn't care less right now, I just needed to get out of that room.

I hear him call after me, but I just ran straight to the laundry room with the bedsheets from the other two rooms. Right now I didn't mind listening to Renee's latest gossip stories. I needed any sort of distraction away from what just happened.

Finally, after listening to at least 20 minutes of Renee's gossip, I head to the other two rooms and finish my duties. I managed to convince Claudia to take over room 6's duties telling her that I had a slight headache and needed some fresh air. She joined me later on the bench as we had lunch together. I ask her without giving away any suspicion, if there was any problem cleaning room 6, she says that there was no problem because she was alone in the room.

I am relieved that she didn't get to see the male model, I laugh internally of how silly I reacted. We head back and for the rest of my shift, I did not see him again, leaving me feeling a bit disappointed.
