CHAPTER 3

"Hello, welcome to Talisman Ski Resort, I'm Mindy, can I help you?" A woman who was in her late twenties asked Eric and Calleigh as they approached the front desk.

"Hi, my name's Eric Delko," Eric started before the young brunette cut him off with a flirtatious giggle. Calleigh rolled her eyes at the way the girl was shamelessly trying to flirt with Eric, and felt a twang of jealousy in the pit of her stomach, which she quickly ignored. The girl had every right to flirt with Eric, and although he hadn't yet, Eric had every right to flirt with this girl, Mindy.

"Here's the key to your room, Mr. Delko." She flashed a perfect row of white teeth at Eric as she managed to flirtatiously hand over the room key. "I hope you have a wonderful stay." That made Eric's smile turn into a chuckle and Calleigh wonder why she had only given Eric one room key, since Eric had told her that both rooms were registered under his name.

"Thanks." Eric nodded, turning to face Calleigh.

"Eric, I thought you had both rooms booked under your name?" Calleigh clarified, making Eric turn around and headed back to talk to Mindy again, much to her delight.

"Is there a problem Mr. Delko?" Mindy giggled. Calleigh tried not to scowl from where she was standing mere feet away, and did her best to ignore the jealousy that was growing in the pit of her stomach, but at the same time was trying not to laugh at how oblivious Eric was to the flirting.

"I was supposed to have two rooms booked under my name, is there a second?" Eric asked.

"There was, but it was cancelled." Mindy's grin faded a bit when she came to the realization that Calleigh and Eric would be sharing a room.

"Oh, well is there another room I could book?" Eric wondered. Mindy's face lit up again as she realized that Calleigh and Eric didn't want to share a room, but she realized that, much to her dismay, they were fully booked, seeing as it was the most popular ski weekend of the year.

"Sorry, we're all booked." Mindy said sincerely. Calleigh walked up behind Eric.

"It's fine Eric; let's just go to our room." She smiled, accenting her southern accent and putting her arm though his, leading him away from Mindy who was giving her a death glare. Calleigh smiled sweetly at her before picking up her bag and following Eric up the stairs.

"Wow, the rooms amazing!" Calleigh observed, carrying her suitcase in past Eric's which was dropped in the doorway and setting it on the bed.

"Yeah, I've been to a few resorts around here with my sisters, and we like this one the best." Eric nodded, picking his suitcase back up and setting on the opposite side of the bed than Calleigh's.

"When can we go skiing?" Calleigh's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Soon." Eric laughed, "But aren't you hungry?"

"I guess," Calleigh shrugged, "But let's eat quickly! I want you to teach me how to ski!"

"And I will, right after lunch. I'm starving!" Eric exclaimed, still smiling over Calleigh's excitement and how it made her look unbelievably cute.

"Yeah, me too." Calleigh sighed, moving some things around in her suitcase. She was glad that she wasn't the type of girl to think ski trip and automatically pack every pair of sweatpants and loose t-shirt she had. She still had some nice outfits, and of course, her favourite dress, in case there was a dinner occasion on the trip, and she was sure glad she had because she figured Mindy wouldn't be the only girl that was flirting with Eric this trip, it happened everywhere they went, but he didn't seem to notice, and she tried not to mind.

"Ready to go?" Eric asked.

"Just give me two minutes, we did just get in from a flight you know." Calleigh smiled and headed towards the bathroom.

"But Calleigh, you look fine." Eric told her, he really thought she looked more than fine, but he wasn't about to tell her that now.

"Aw, thanks Eric, but give me two minutes okay?" She called from the bathroom.

"Sure." He shrugged sitting down on the bed and flipping on the TV.
