Elle stormed down the hallway of the hotel with X following after her carrying the luggage along with several of the wedding presents. She couldn't believe that Zed had insisted that she and X go off together on a "HONEYMOON" after the farce of a wedding that she had just gone through with. At least the hotel was nice, though and there was a spa downstairs. She had been pleased to see that. Since Jay had handled booking it, she had expected something more along the lines of tacky and poor taste.
Elle inserted the key into the door and stepped in, gasping in surprise when she saw what the room looked like. There was a heart shaped bed and through the open door of the bathroom she could see a similarly heartshaped jacuzzi. Here was what she had been expecting from Jay.
"Uh, where's the other bed?" X asked as he came in and set the luggage down on the floor. Just then he remembered an earth custom that he had looked up the night before. He turned and scooped her into his arms, carrying her out of the room again.
"What do you think you're doing?" Elle cried as she struggled against the alien. It had been bad enough that he had actually kissed her at the end of the ceremony. Did he have to touch her again?!
"I looked up human weddings last night. Did you know that I'm supposed to carry you into the room? I don't know who came up with that custom. Obviously someone who had never lifted a human," X said as he carried her into the room and sat her down on the bed. "Did you know that you're really very heavy?"
"Did you know that widowhood is very appealing?" Elle murmured as she leaned over and picked up the phone. There was no way that they could stay in this room.
A few minutes later, she hung up the phone with a load bang. "They don't have anymore rooms! We're stuck with this!" she cried as she glared at him.
"I suppose it could be worse," X said as he sat down beside her, inspecting the bed. "At least it's big."
"Don't get any ideas, Cowboy," Elle said as she stood and went over to her suitcase, digging around in it to find some fresh clothes. "You're sleeping on the floor tonight. Now, I'm going to go and soak in that jacuzzi! Don't come in if you want to live!"
X stared at the closed door of the bathroom for a moment after Elle stormed out before shaking his head and turning to the wedding gifts. At least he could have some fun opening those. He picked up the first which was from Jay and slowly removed the paper to reveal a book, The Kama Sutra. 'Now this looks interesting,' he thought as he opened it and started to read.
