After getting our luggage, we walked to the front desk and Dave motioned for me to go first.
"Name, please?" the receptionist asked while staring at her monitor with her fingers placed on the keyboard.
After repeating my name twice, I was informed that there was no room reserved in the hotel under my name. I looked behind me at Dave. "They said they had the hotel reservations all worked out," I turned back to the receptionist before continuing, "Well, are there any rooms available?"
She shook her head. "No, I'm sorry, but we're packed full tonight."
I looked back at Dave again not knowing what to do. He motioned for me to step to the side before giving the receptionist his name which was apparently in the computer.
"Yes, we have your room ready. Here are the keys," she said, placing them on the counter.
"Is there a couch or pull-out bed or anything in the room?" Dave asked.
She shook her head before adding, "But there is a king-sized bed." Dave looked over at me as if to get my approval.
"You can stay with me if you want. It's fine. I promise to stay on my side of the bed," he said with a grin.
"Sure, if that's really okay with you," I replied, thankful for his generosity.
"Course it is, roomie," he smiled grabbing the keys and walking with me to our room. We made our way inside and unloaded our bags onto the floor. I walked further into the room seeing our bed with a nicely sized television in front of it and a comfy chair off to the side. I plopped onto the bed and reveled in its comfy-ness.
"Having fun?" Dave asked as he sat in the chair and turned on the TV.
"What time is it?" I asked Dave, lifting my head up and looking at him.
"Ten."
"Already? Wow, well, I guess I'll go take a shower and get ready for bed," I announced, separating with the bed and making my way to the bathroom after picking up one of my bags. I shut the door behind me before placing some of my things on the counter and my face cleanser in the shower. I grabbed a towel and slung it over the pole holding up the shower curtain before bending down to turn on the water. I stripped off and got in, feeling the warm water hit my body.
I had almost finished and was getting ready to turn off the faucet when I heard Dave scream. I turned off the water and quickly grabbed a towel wrapping it around my dripping wet body. I opened the door and ran to where Dave was.
"What happened? Are you okay?" I asked frantically walking over to him and touching his arm.
Dave laughed and eventually he coolly replied, "I'm fine. I just wanted to see you soaking wet in a towel."
I couldn't resist and found myself laughing as well before playfully slapping him on the back of the head. "Jerk."
I walked back into the bathroom glancing back over at him to see his facial expression. "Woo baby! Take it off!" he yelled grinning at me.
"Oh, you mean… this?" I asked, going along with his little game and pointing to the towel wrapped around me. I turned around and lowered part of the towel revealing my bare back before pausing.
"Nah," I continued pulling the towel back up.
"Oh come on! What a tease," Dave responded as I began to walk back to the bathroom but not before blowing him a kiss and smirking at the disappointment in his face.
I finished getting ready for bed and walked out again in the towel to grab my suitcase and lay it on the bed.
"Come back for more, honey?" Dave jokingly asked.
"If by 'more', you mean 'pajamas', then yes." I shook my head at him unable to suppress a grin as I unzipped my bag and proceeded to pull out my usual hot pants and t-shirt to sleep in. I paused before looking over at Dave.
"What?" he asked, wondering why I stopped.
"Well, I didn't really expect to be rooming with anyone, so my night wear isn't exactly conservative."
"No complaining here, baby. Sleep in what you want. Just hurry up and change so I can get in the shower."
"Well fine then." I zipped up my suitcase and carried my clothes into the bathroom shutting the door behind me. I changed and took a look in the mirror. I brushed my hair and put on some lip gloss. After I was satisfied with how I looked, I grabbed the clothes I was wearing before my shower and carried them over to my suitcase.
"I'm done," I said with a smile glancing over at Dave as I zipped up my suitcase and placed it on the floor. I looked over at him again and he still hadn't moved. "What?" I asked wondering why he stopped with the remarks and why he hadn't gotten up to take his shower yet. "I thought you were going to take your shower now."
"Oh, yeah, uh, right," he said tearing his eyes away from me and slowly making his way to the bathroom. I heard him turn on the water and after six minutes of him being in the shower, I decided to get him back for earlier.
I felt bad for the people below me, but I picked up my suitcase and dropped it making a loud thud heard throughout the room. I ran in front of the chair and laid on the floor grabbing my head. I heard the water turn off and Dave scurried into the room. Seeing me on the floor, he ran over.
"What happened? Did you fall? Does your head hurt?"
I almost felt bad because he seemed genuinely concerned for me. Of course, I was genuinely concerned for him before, so I decided to keep going with it. I started laughing before he got the hint stood back up helping me up with him.
"Oh, don't look so hurt. I just wanted to see you in your towel," I said, smiling at him.
"And?" he asked cockily, "what do you think?"
"Eh, I've seen better." Dave put on his puppy dog face and pouted. "Oh, you know I'm just kidding." I paused and grinned.
"Take it off, baby!" I shouted at him laughing as he smirked and began to slide the bottom of the towel up further and further exposing more of his legs before pausing.
"Nah," he said letting go of the towel and grinning before getting boxers out of his suitcase and walking back into the bathroom to change. He came back out in about two minutes to find me lying on the bed and flipping through channels. He plopped down beside me.
I finally settled on a local channel playing Friends and we just laid there in a comfortable silence. It felt nice being there with him. I could feel his eyes on me and I would occasionally glance back at him when he wasn't looking.
There was a knock at the door and I got up to answer it. I looked through the peephole to see none other than John Cena. I opened the door and let him in.
"Now, what are you doin' here little missy? I heard Dave was supposed to be in this room."
I laughed before motioning him further into the room to where Dave was. "They didn't have my name in the computer and there were no other rooms available, so-"
"Well you coulda stayed in mine baby," John interjected with a smirk. "I like that outfit you're wearing. Dave pick that out?" He said with a laugh glancing over at Dave.
"She picked it out all her own. I did get to see her in just a towel though; dripping wet and right out of the shower," Dave said, grinning at me.
"Hey, I got to see you in a towel too, you know," I quickly added looking back at him.
"Well, I was actually coming by to see if you two would like to come down to the bar with me, but it's obvious that I'm just too cool for you guys. I mean, you're all ready for bed when it's not even midnight. What's up with that, huh?"
"Yeah, yeah… now why don't you just leave us alone and let me have some "alone time" with Em over here, huh?" Dave said motioning for John to leave.
"Fine then, see you tomorrow. Don't get too frisky," John winked at me before getting off the bed and leaving.
After he left, I went crawled back to my previous position on the bed and laid there for a few seconds before hearing a cell phone go off.
"Sorry, that's mine," Dave said, getting up to go find the bag containing the phone. "Hello?" He made his way back over to the bed and sat down. "No man, unlike you, I actually have morals. Yeah, yeah, well say what you want but I actually have a hot broad right here with me. Fine, come on up, but just remember, she's mine." Dave smiled before hanging up the phone.
"That was Randy. He wanted me to go out and hook up with some chick who probably has every STD known to man. Anyway, he's coming up here because he just couldn't believe why I would pass that up."
"God, you are so unlike any man I have ever met," I said before yawning.
"Tired?"
"Yeah, a little; it's been a long day after all. When is he coming up here?"
"He said a few minutes which could mean anywhere from a few minutes to an hour, so who knows? But if you're tired, just go to sleep. I can show you off to him in the morning."
I smiled at him as he started to yawn as well. "Wow, guess I'm tired too. I'll just call Randy and tell him we're going to bed."
I nodded and got under the covers as I heard Dave telling Randy to forget about coming because it was just going to be just him and myself for the rest of the night and then some. I laughed after he hung up.
"What? I can dream can't I? Plus it'll make him jealous when he sees you tomorrow."
"Oh, sure," I replied sarcastically. "Just hurry up and turn off the lights."
Dave turned off the lights but there was still a glimmer of light which shone in from the window. He climbed under the covers with me.
"Hey, Dave?"
"Yeah?"
"Thanks for being so nice to me. It really means a lot."
"No problem at all. Good night and sweet dreams."
"You too."
It didn't take long for me to fall asleep, but I awoke and shot out of bed after hearing a loud clap of thunder at around 3:00 in the morning. I looked over at Dave who was staring at me.
"Scared of thunderstorms?"
"A little," I replied bashfully before lying back down, "Okay, a lot."
"No worries. I'll protect you." I honestly did feel protected when I was with him. I fell back asleep and woke up again at a more reasonable, but still early time of 7:00 a.m.
We had started with both of us on opposite sides of the bed. Dave was on the right and I was on the left, but somehow in my sleep, I had shifted over to Dave and I woke up with my head on his chest and my right arm draped over him and clinging to his shoulder.
"Sleep well?"
I moved my head and looked up at Dave. "Yes, actually," I replied blushing.
"Well you were on top of me for half the night."
"Heh, sorry about that," I responded bashfully, blushing once more.
"Nah, don't worry about it. I slept pretty damn good myself, you know."
"What time are you gonna get up?"
"I wanted to take you out to eat for lunch today. Then I was thinking we could see a movie." He looked down at me, "So you can still sleep for another few hours."
I started to move back over to my side of the bed, but Dave stopped me.
"You can stay right there if you want. It's fine with me. You know, if it makes you sleep better," he said with a wink.
I laid my head back down on his chest and fell back asleep as Dave watched me and eventually fell asleep as well.
