At the hotel bar

"So. Shane, whats up with you?"

"Nothing really. Youself?"

"Oh, about the same I guess. I'm just really enjoying this right now. This job is so different from what I used to do back home."

"Yah. I thought you were new. But I wasnt quite sure. I didnt want to ask and have you land up be here for like several years and something and just come out pig headed."


I laughed and smiled at him, "I highly doubt that. Besides, your the hurricane, you can ask what ever you want."

"I know, I just didnt want to seem arrogant. So, where are you from?"


"Well, I used to live in California. Then after high school, I graduated and headed out to UCONN. Sort of just stayed there after graduation. Its a great place and I like it so much."

"Thats cool. What'd you degree in?"

"Literature. I love to read and its interesting to get more insite on things. You know what I'm talking about? Just like my all time favorite book is Summer Sister by Judy Blue. I could read it everyday."

"Thats cool. So on your off time I can see it now in a future interview, 'so, on your free time what do you do? Well, I enjoy reading and reading some more.'" Shane mocked.

I smacked him lightly, "Gee thanks for making it seem like I'm some kind of book worm. I do have my fun. As you know."

"Oh yes that too. "I also enjoy jumping out of cars at stop lights and kissing strange men."

"You say that like its a bad thing. Besides, Jeff dared me too. Although I kind of invited it."

"It was funny. I've never known anyone besides Jeff to do random shit like that."

I laughed. Shane really was a great guy. We shared stories from our past times and eveything with each other. We had some dinner and just talked some stuff. As luck has it, I was actually beginning to dig Shane. I mean, I liked him a little before this. But now it's just like BAM! full on crush. After we finished dinner Shane walked me to my hotel room. In the elevator he got close to me and held my hand. I smiled at him and just looked straight ahead to the elevator doors. While we walked down the hall to my room we continued our discussion on meeting with each other for breakfast in the morning. As we stopped at my room door and I pulled out my key to go into my room I thanked Shane for the evening and for the dinner. We just stood there staring at each other for awhile. Then finally it happened. Shane leaned in and kissed me softly on the kiss.

"Sorry, I wanted to."

"No apologies mister." I said softly as I leaned in and kissed him again.

This time the kiss deepened. After what seemed an eternity I broke the kiss and left to go in my room. As I was walking in backwards we continued to peck each others lips softly and continuously. I finally kissed him one last kissed and pushed him away and said good night and closed the door. I leaned against the door and squealed slightly to myself.
