"After a meal like that, I just want to take a nap," Frank groaned as
he stepped inside the hotel room. Taking off his jacket, he eyed the neatly
made bed longingly.
"Go ahead," Nancy motioned. "In fact, if I can't get a hold of Amy, I might just join you. We have awhile until we have to pick up Joe."
"What are you going to tell her?" Frank queried, sitting on the edge of the bed, removing his shoes.
Nancy sighed as she dug through her purse to find Amy's number. "If Ned hasn't already told her what happened with Paul, I guess it's up to me to fill her in. I'm hoping that maybe tomorrow morning, she can help me into Paul's office before he gets there."
"Why don't you let Joe do it instead?" Frank asked as he leaned back against the pillows.
Nancy turned around to look at Frank, "Why would I do that?"
"Because Paul has met you before, and he obviously knows I'm connected to the two of you somehow. So, Joe is the obvious choice," Frank answered.
Nancy mock glared at Frank. "I hate it when you're right."
She found the slip of paper she was looking for and pulled out her cell phone. Sitting down at the desk, she dialed Amy's number. The phone rang four times and then went to voice mail. "Hi, this is Amy. I can't get to the phone right now, so please leave a message at the beep. I'll get back to you as soon as I can," her voice chirped. Nancy groaned at the message. She really wanted to talk to Amy, but it looked like she would have to wait a while.
At the beep Nancy said, "Hi, Amy. This is Nancy Drew. Listen, I have something I really need to talk to you about, so if you would, please give me a call as soon as you get this message." Nancy rattled off both her cell phone number and the hotel's number before hanging up.
Turning to Frank she said, "I really hope she calls back soon. I can't stand waiting around like this."
Frank grinned at her, about to say something, then grimaced in pain.
"Frank?" Nancy asked in concern. She stepped closer to the bed and looked down at the expression on his face. "What's wrong?"
"Could you get me some more aspirin, please? My headache just came back with a vengeance," he begged.
"Sure." Nancy went into the bathroom and came back out with a bottle of pills and a glass of water. She sat on the other side of the bed and handed them to Frank. "Here, take these," she said offering him two white pills.
He gratefully accepted the medicine and quickly downed the drugs with the water. "Thanks," he said.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Nancy asked as she sat the empty glass on the night stand. "Maybe you should stay here and let me go to pick up Joe tonight."
"I'll be fine as soon as the aspirin kicks in, and I get a few hours of rest," Frank replied.
She yawned and then stretched out on the bed next to him. "Maybe a nap is what we both need."
Frank rolled over and threw his arm around Nancy's waist. He placed a soft kiss on her lips and said, "Sounds good to me."
Nancy sighed in contentment as she turned on her side to face him. She returned Frank's kiss with one of her own.
As they kissed again Frank thought, 'We can nap later.' He moved his lips from hers down to her neck. He trailed soft kisses from her jaw to her collarbone and back. His hand drew circles on her back as he pulled her closer to him.
"I thought you wanted to take a nap," Nancy protested softly.
"I changed my mind," Frank answered, placing more delicate kisses on her neck. He stopped momentarily to glance up at Nancy. "You don't mind, do you?"
She smiled down at the seductive look on Frank's face. "What about your headache?" she asked.
Frank grinned back as he pushed a stray hair away from Nancy's forehead. He peppered light kisses across her face as he said, "Studies have shown that this is the best cure for a headache.
"Is that so?" Nancy replied breathlessly.
"Mmm hmm," Frank murmured as he captured her lips once more.
During the kiss she managed to flip them over so that she lay on top of Frank. "Well, I do want you to get better," she said saucily.
"So do I," Frank whispered, pulling her down towards him for another passionate kiss.
"Go ahead," Nancy motioned. "In fact, if I can't get a hold of Amy, I might just join you. We have awhile until we have to pick up Joe."
"What are you going to tell her?" Frank queried, sitting on the edge of the bed, removing his shoes.
