Chapter 2:
Greeted by the weird receptionist
The next day they woke up early to catch their 10 a.m. flight. Somehow Mickey's suitcase managed to survive the ride from Orlando to New York City. Once they landed, their retrieved their stuff and took an Uber to their hotel.
Always the gentleman that he was, Mickey carried their heavy suitcases through the rotating doors and the couple went up to the reception desk that was being manned by a young girl with long blonde hair tied into a low ponytail, red lips, and wearing a collared white blouse with a blue name tag that said Christina on it. When she looked up from her phone at them, her eyes got wide in shock.
"Hi…" Mickey began.
"Mickey Mouse!" she exclaimed cutting him off. "I can't believe you're really here!"
He was very used to people getting excited about seeing him so it didn't phase him at all. "Yeah well…"
Again she cut him off. "This is so amazing, I knew it was a good idea to come to work today." She put her chin in her hand and batted her eyelashes at him. "You're so amazing."
The flirtatious way she said that didn't slip past Minnie and her eyes narrowed in annoyance.
"Thanks…"
"No, thank you. Thank you for...existing. God, you're so sexy."
"Gosh, um…" Mickey said unsure of how to react that that.
"Can we just get our room key?" Minnie said impatiently.
"Of course," Christina said not taking her eyes off of Mickey. She handed him the key making sure to brush her fingers along his. "You're in room 202. Let me know if you need anything at all. I would be happy to come up."
"Thanks…" Mickey said not really sure how to take that.
"Anything," Christina said biting her lip.
He realized how he was supposed to take that and it made him even more uncomfortable.
"Thank you, he'll be sure to let you know," Minnie said sharply before grabbing his hand and steering them to the elevator. Every now and then they'd come across a woman who tried to flirt with him, and there would be men who tried to flirt with her, but never were they so blatantly obvious about it!
The elevator door closed and Mickey pressed the second floor button.
"Geez, what was with that girl?" Minnie said still annoyed.
"She's just a young girl, she doesn't know what she's doing," Mickey said trying to give her the benefit of the doubt.
"I would never have done that when I was her age," Minnie said.
The door opened and they stepped out and walked down the hallway trying to find their room.
"Well you're not most girls baby," Mickey said placing a kiss on her cheek.
"I wonder if she does this with all the guys that come around here or if it's just you," she said as they arrived at their room.
"Do I detect a hint of jealousy?" Mickey said with a playful smirk as he unlocked the door.
"No, of course not!" Minnie said following him into the room. "I'm just saying it's extremely rude and desperate to openly flirt with a man who is clearly taken."
Mickey dropped their bags by the foot of the bed. "It's not a big deal Min, we probably won't ever see her again anyway."
When he took her hand and twirled her around, she quickly forgot about the incident in the hotel lobby. Instead, as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her, she melted into his arms letting the warmth of his body wash over her and she remembered why they were there.
Afterwards he placed his forehead on hers and looked into her bright blue eyes. "Now, what do you say we get the fun started?"
She ran her fingers down his chest in a seductive way. Just the thought of being in bed with him and feeling his incredible body on top of hers sent shivers down her spine. "I'd love that."
"Good, because I'm starving," Mickey suddenly pulling away from her.
She looked at him in confusion. "Wait, what?"
"Where do you want to go for dinner? I think I saw a Chipotle a few blocks over or are you in the mood for something fancier?"
She realized his mind was on something entirely different than hers was and she sighed. "Chipotle is fine."
He took her hand and they went back towards the door. Minnie glanced back at the warm bed behind them that seemed to be calling their names. As soon as she got Mickey's mind off of food, she was going to make sure they used it thoroughly.
They got off the elevator to find Christina staring after Mickey with eyes full of lust as they passed. "See you later Mickey."
Maybe giving her the benefit of the doubt wasn't going to work after all, Mickey thought.
He glanced over at Minnie and saw the annoyed glare had returned to her face. He chuckled and kissed her. "You're cute when you're angry."
