Ambition

**********

Mary-Margaret looked across the lobby at the man of her dreams.

He stood behind the check-in desk of the Tipton Hotel, busily making adjustments to log books and speaking to customers over the phone. His suit neatly pressed, tie perfectly in place. He was the very image of the successful manager.

Dark, soulful eyes. Full pouty lips. Killer smile. Adorable ears. Smooth dusky skin. He was a gorgeous specimen of a man.

And what a body!

He might not be the tallest of men, but he was built. She could tell. His shoulders, straight and broad, were perfect for lifting weights (or women) and manfully handling them. His hands, rough and strong, could also be soft and gentle (she knew because he'd shaken hers when they met, she had felt how he'd held back from using his full strength and crushing her hand). His stomach, as near as she could tell, was flat and (she imagined) chiseled. His legs strong (they'd have to be, chasing Zack and Cody around the hotel for hours on end). And so very graceful (she'd seen him dance many a time, and he could move those hips. Mm!). Yes, he was a man in great shape.

And Mary-Margaret wanted him more than she wanted Corrie to be muzzled.

She was resolved.

One day, she, Mary-Margaret, would be Mrs. Marion Moseby.

THE END

(There is also an M-Rated version of this pairing by SilverTurtle in the Strange Love: After Hours collection).

Notes on the Pairing:

Mary-Margaret is a girl who went to school with London and Maddie, and is a friend to both (though it was touch and go for her and London for a while there). She appeared in several episodes of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and was played by Monique Coleman.

Marion Moseby is the manager of the Boston Tipton Hotel and the S.S. Tipton and a kind of stand-in father figure for London. He often spends his time chasing down Zack and Cody for various troubles they've caused. He appears in both The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and The Suite Life on Deck and is played by Phill Lewis.
