At 2am Sheelagh woke to a coughing Des stood in the middle of the room.
"Are you alright?" Sheelagh asked Concerned "Yeah…I'm just going to get a drink, want one?" Asked Des
"No…I'm fine. Why don't you just get some water out of the tap in the bathroom"
"It isn't working I've tried. Cya in a bit" Des kissed Sheelagh on the forehead and she fell back asleep.
Stepping out onto the dark corridor. Des made his way over the creaking floorboards down stairs. Walking into the eri reception area. A shiver was sent up his spine. Walking up to the kitchen door he could see his breath in front of him. It was so cold frost had grew on the picture frames. Reaching the kitchen door handle the cold really hit him. It was like touching a block of ice. Turning the handle and pushing the door he realised it was locked.
"Shit!" Des banged on the door annoyed.
"Please do not make so much noise." Whispered Mr Tracy
"Arrr!" Screamed Des. Des span round in shock. Breathing heavily as his heart pounded hard. The owner, Mr Tracy stood behind him dressed in his smart uniform.
"I said do not make so much noise." Repeated Mr Tracy angily.
"I wouldn't if you weren't trying to give me heart attack." Argued Des
"Why would I do that? It would cause hell with the insurance?" Des regained his composer beginning to breath normal again.
"I was just wondering if I could possibly get a drink or summat"
"I know I have sent a person up to your room with it already"
"What"
"Your drink will be waiting on your bedside cabinet. Please go back to bed." Confused at how Mr Tracy already knew what he wanted Des quickly left the room. Taking fast but silent paces Des climbed the stairs two at a time. Reaching to the corridor his room was on, he saw the bar tender leaving.
"Sheelagh!" Des let out in barely a whisper he walked quickly down the corridor after the bar tender had left at the other end. Bursting in the room he shut the door and scrambled onto the bed. Looking at Sheelagh in the face he gripped on to her hugging her. She looked Fine. Laughing at how silly he had been Des turned to look at the jug of water and the two glasses left on his cabinet as said they would be. Cradling her in his arms Des fell asleep.
