I entered my room put my bag down on the desk and flopped onto the bed. Maybe I could get away with not showering and just taking a nap instead. My mind went to the jelly donut I had, while waiting for the flight and how I had been clumsy enough to spill a bit onto my jeans. I decided no, shower first and then if I was quick with drying my hair I would be able to take a quick 10-minute nap.
I groaned as I left the fluffy bed to get my suitcase and unpack. After I put my clothes away I grabbed what I would wear to dinner and went in for my shower.
I walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed with 20 minutes to spare. I set an alarm on my phone and crawled into the bed. A ten-minute nap and then I will fix my hair and makeup. I drifted off to sleep.
The alarm went off 10 minutes later, half asleep I decided; no makeup and a bun would suffice and hit the snooze button. Another 10 minutes passed and this time it wasn't the alarm that went off but the phone in the room.
~Ring Ring, Ring Ring, Ring Ring~
".. Hello?" I answered groggily
"Lyra did you loose track of time? Its 5 past when we were supposed to meet in the lobby." Keelan stated concerned.
"Oh, shoot... Sorry, my alarm must have been turned off instead of snoozed. Im on my way down right now. I told him. I quickly hung up before he could respond and jogged towards nightstand, where my purse and my phone were. Slipped into my Vans and jogged down the hall towards the elevator.
I was on my way down when an old couple entered the elevator a few floors down from mine. The wife looked at me and smiled.
"Whoever your meeting tonight is very lucky young lady, you look beautiful. Dont you agree Claude? She said as she turned to her husband.
"Yes my love, she is beautiful, just as you are to me." He replied back
"Thank you for the compliment, but I'm meeting my family, so no lucky guy tonight." I replied with a smile and a laugh.
The elevator came to a stop on the ground floor. I wished the couple a good evening and exited. I walked towards my brother who was staring at his watch.
"Keelan... I'm sorry I'm late. Where's dad?" He looked up at me and smiled.
"Dad, is fetching our dinner guest and lucky for you I always anticipate that you will be late so I made the reservation a little later. Come on, lets go to our table. " He responded with a smile.
I followed him to our table. We got seated as we waited for the arrival of my father and the guest. I was facing away from the entrance while Keelan was across from me facing the entrance way.
"So.... who is this guest that is coming, and why didn't you tell me there was one joining?" I asked him
Before he could respond he got up from his chair. I assumed that my father had arrived with the guest and stood up. I turned around to face two wide blue-grey eyes staring at me.
"You...." I said in shock.
