Hi, guys! Here's a little something I came up with about two months when I was traveling home from vacation. Walking around a hotel at 11pm can give a girl some really good inspiration for a story…

Chapter 1: Going Up
Trying to keep herself from falling asleep right then and there, the young woman smiled at the middle-aged man on the other side of the elevator.
"What floor, sir?" she asked politely.
Kagome's shift had already ended, but her manners refused to leave her; she felt like she was always on-duty.
The man smiled at Kagome. "Second, please," he replied.
A moment later, the elevator dinged and the man got off.
"Have a pleasant night," Kagome said.
"Thank you," the man replied.
When the doors closed and Kagome was left alone, she sighed and leaned against the wall of the elevator. It had been a long shift, full of several unhappy guests and a kid breaking their arm in the pool.
Despite the seemingly constant exhaustion Kagome had at her job in the hotel, she truly loved it.
She had a good set-up, too. The manager of the hotel, Myoga, had hired her three years ago after her first interview.
Kagome began the job as a full-time cleaning lady to put herself through her first year of university. At first it was just going to be a summer job to save up for university, but then when the school year came around, Kagome's boss asked if she would consider keeping a part-time job because she was so well-liked by the other employees and nearly every single guest.
When offered a promotion for Assistant Manager a year-and-a-half later, Kagome decided to take it. She lowered her college workload to just a few online classes part-time for a Business degree, but her main focus was her love for her job at the Goshinboku Hotel & Suites.
The best part was she lived in one of the medium-sized suites in the hotel. She had her own small kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area. It wasn't too shabby of a place to live, and she never had to worry about being late to work.
As she finally got off the elevator and made her way to her suite, Kagome sighed contentedly. She loved her calm and rather simple life.
Until a certain man checked in and decided to ruin it.
To be continued...
Chapter 2 will be up soon, so keep an eye out!
Much love. :)
