Chapter 2
Around twenty minutes later Nancy and Bess were in the back of a cab on their way to the resort. Bess was gazing out the window and Nancy was flipping through the brochure of the golf resort and spa. Bess glanced at Nancy but soon did a double take, "Nancy!" She exclaimed, "I thought I took that away from you." She reached for the brochure and snatched it out of her friend's hands.
"Bess, I was just looking at the pools." Nancy stated.
"You were not." Bess replied, "You were looking for an excuse not to go there, just like you were doing back at home."
"Bess, I just want to familiarize myself with the resort." Nancy tried again, "I don't want to get lost."
"You can familiarize yourself with it when we get there." Bess responded as she put the brochure into her bag and closed it shut, "There."
Nancy stuck her tongue out at her friend and Bess heard the cab driver chuckle slightly. Glancing back out the window she saw the palm trees growing closer as they exited the expressway and pulling onto the main street. The palm trees grew more frequent and closer together and before she knew it, the palm trees lined up as they pulled off the main road and onto another. "There it is." Bess pointed out as they approached the Resort.
The driver circled around and stopped at the loading and unloading area. They got out and Nancy and Bess split the fee and then gathered their bags before walking through the sliding doors and into the Resort.
Nancy approached the counter with Bess not far behind, "Can I help you?"
"We're checking in." Nancy answered as Bess leaned up against the counter. "Reservations under Nancy Drew."
A few keystrokes later and she handed over two room keys and an envelope. "In here are some information about the Resort and the activities such as the Spa and Golf course."
"Thank you." Bess said taking the envelope.
"Have a nice stay."
The girls walked away from the desk, "What room are we in?" Nancy asked as Bess pulled the sheet of paper out of the envelope.
"510." Bess replied as they walked towards the elevators.
The lobby was quiet and relaxing. A few people were sitting on one of the couches while others were busy checking in. Bess pushed the up arrow and leaned against the side of the elevator. "I'm exhausted."
"How?" Nancy asked.
"Nancy, I just got through walking through Miami International and then the drive over here really made my ass sore."
Nancy laughed as the doors opened and a family of four walked out clad in their swimming gear and rushed off towards the pools. "I'm sure we can find someone to massage it for you." Nancy stated as they walked into the elevator and pushed the button with the five on it.
"I hope it isn't a family resort." Bess sighed as she crossed her arms over her chest, "I was hoping to meet a bachelor."
Nancy nodded, "Maybe you'll meet a golfer." She suggested, "From what I was able to read about the Resort before it was rudely taken away from me there's a golf tournament going on this week."
Bess nodded, "But aren't all golfers old?"
Nancy shrugged, "Dunno, I guess we'll find out." She stated as the doors opened and the girls walked out into the hallway. Bess found the door first and opened it with Nancy behind her. "Wow." Bess said looking around, "It's big."
Nancy nodded as she closed it; there were two queen size beds and a small living area with a couch and TV as well as a table with four chairs. To the left of where Nancy stood there was a door that she was sure led to the bathroom. Bess hurried across the floor to the sliding glass door, "Balcony!" She exclaimed excitedly, "Oh the view is amazing, it's of one of the holes on the golf course."
She stepped out onto the balcony and walked to the railing, the wind blew her hair slightly. From what Bess could see there were not many golfers, but then again it was three in the afternoon. Nancy stepped out onto the balcony, "No one's golfing." She observed.
Bess squinted, "Its hole four, that's why, everyone's already done with this hole."
Nancy nodded as she sat down on the patio chair and looked out at the golf course. "What do you want to do first?" Nancy asked.
Bess turned around to look at her friend, "I think it might be a little late to sun bathe." Bess stated, "We could go look around."
Nancy nodded and the girls walked back into their hotel room. "Should we unpack first?" Nancy asked as she stopped in front of her suitcase.
Bess glanced at hers and then back at Nancy, "Later." Both laughing as they walked out the door.
