12 : Arriving
Finally, the flight came to the end and Paul and I were walking to get our luggage. As we got closer to the carousel, Paul saw his friend, Shelton Benjamin, who was picking him up and bringing him to the hotel. I said hi to Shelton and excused myself to get my bags. I waited for a long time and as I was about to report missing baggage, when I saw it coming around a bend. It was just me left so I didn't have to maneuver myself around anyone and they stopped the carousel from moving so it was still. I grabbed the handle and held tight as I tried to pull it up. It wouldn't budge. I tried a couple more times and still nothing. I took a deep breath and was about to try another time but I felt a hand close over mine and help me lift it up and set it on the ground. I looked up at whoever helped me and met the eyes of Shelton. I smiled.
"I saw you having a little bit of trouble so I thought I would help you out." He said with a grin.
"Thanks. I was not doing so well." I said. We started walking towards Paul. "This what I don't get about airports. They have people when you check your luggage in helping you get it, but not here." I said with a laugh.
"I never really thought about it." He said. We got to where Paul was and stopped.
"I guess I will see you later." I said to them both.
"Yeah." Shelton said.
"Wait. I want to make sure you make it out of here okay. We will wait until you get your rental car." Paul said.
I nodded then stopped and my mouth dropped open. I couldn't believe it. Could I get any stupider?
"What's wrong?" Shelton asked kind of worried.
"I am a moron." I said and ran my hands over my face in frustration.
"Oh come on. It can't be that bad." Paul said.
"I forgot to call a car rental company to get a car." I mumbled while my face still in my hands and my head shaking from left to right. I looked up when neither of them said anything. I saw them both smiling.
"What?" I asked confused.
"It's not that bad." Shelton said.
"Yeah, we will give you a ride." Paul said and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"No, no." I said. "I couldn't ask you to do that."
"You're not, we're offering." Shelton said and started wheeling my suitcase outside. I groaned as Paul guided me to follow.
"What are you complaining about? You get to spend more time with me." Paul said cockily with a smirk.
"And to think, I was actually starting to like you." I said as I wrapped my arm around his waist.
He laughed as we got closer to the car we walking towards. Shelton opened the trunk and stuck my suitcase in it and then grabbed Paul's and did the same thing. We hopped into the car and I saw that there was someone else in the car. I groaned as i saw who it was. He saw me too and smiled.
"What, am I just so good looking that you have to stalk me?" Carlito asked as he popped his collar.
"Actually, I came to see if you were as much of a jackass live for raw as you were in person." I said with a sarcastic smile.
"I'm guessing you two know each other." Paul asked pointing from me to Carlito.
"Unfortunately." We both said at the same time. We glared at each other. "Stop doing that." We said once again simultaneously.
"Okkkay." Paul said.
"So Kendall." Shelton said changing the subject. "What hotel are you at?"
"Umm, let me check." I said reaching for my purse. I started to dig through the mess and eventually found all the details. "I am staying at the Marriott." I said looking at the rear view mirror, making eye contact with Shelton.
"That's where we are staying too." Shelton said with a smile before turning his eyes back to the road.
"Woo Hoo." Carlito exclaimed sarcastically.
"Be nice." Paul said. Carlito rolled his eyes. I looked at Paul and smiled.
"Thanks." I said. He waved it off. I looked out the window watching the scenery go by.
Finally after about a half hour we arrived at the hotel. We went to the parking lot instead of doing valet. We all got out and Paul helped me get my bag down and then got his own. We started walking with Shelton and Carlito in front of us. When we got into the lobby Paul and I walked to the front desk to check in, while the other two went to sit on a couch, waiting for Paul. Paul was up first and checked in while I waited. Finally a spot was empty and I walked up to the guy behind the counter.
"I am checking in." I said.
"Last name please." The man said.
"Hunter." I replied. The man punched in a couple of letters and then looked up at me.
"Kendall?" He asked. I nodded. Finally after a few minutes, I had my room number, room key, and all that jazz. I walked to the elevator when I heard someone call my name. I turned around curious to see who it was since I didn't knew barely anyone. I saw Paul, Carlito and Shelton.
"I thought you guys left." I said surprised.
"I wanted to make sure everything is okay with your reservations." Paul said.
"Everything is fine." I said as the elevator doors opened. We all walked in and saw that no one else was in there. I pressed the 6th floor button while Paul pressed the 5th.
"What room number are you?" Paul asked.
"341. You?" I replied.
"289." He said. The elevator arrived at my floor and I stepped out. I turned to them and said bye. I saw Shelton come out. I looked at him confused.
"What are you doing?" I asked as we started walking in the direction I thought my room was.
"Paul wanted to make sure that you got into your room safely and I thought I would cut you a break and come instead of him." He said looking down at me.
"Well, thanks, but I don't mind. I think its always good to have someone look out for you." I said looking left to right at the room numbers passing by.
"Yeah, well, I think he likes you. Not in a girlfriend way but as a like sister way. I have known him for a couple years now and the only way he treats women are like a friend or a whore or girlfriend. Never as a sister." He said babbling.
"That's nice." I said not really paying attention. Not that I didn't want to, but I really wanted to find my room, or better yet my bed and crash for the day. I looked and saw that we were at a dead end. I groaned.
"So we must have passed it or gone the wrong way. What room did you saw you were in?" He asked as we turned and walked back the way we first came.
"341." I said paying close attention the numbers on the doors this time. Once we were back at the elevators, we went the other way and soon arrived at my room. I slid the key in the door and opened it, I walked in and dropped my suitcase a few feet in front of the bed and fell face first on it. I heard Shelton laugh and didn't have enough energy to tell him to shut up. I sighed before I felt the bed dip down. He removed my shoes and lifted the covers a little and folded it back. Then he carefully lifted me up a little and placed me in the sheets and tucked me in. I sighed.
"Do you need anything?" He asked softly.
"My duck." I mumbled too tired to say a complete sentence.
"Where is it?" He asked walking to my suitcase.
"Big pocket." I said snuggling closer in the mattress and pillow. I heard him zipping the bag and barely heard him walk back over to the bed.
"Here you go." He said as he sat my stuffed duck in my arms. I closed my arms tightly around the stuffed animal and slowly felt myself fall asleep.
