Chapter Fifteen:

A/N: So it's now Sunday of May24 weekend, yay, and it's been some crazy fun thus far hah but I think it's mostly done now. Sad. But here we go, and by the way hah just a warning, I'm pretty much taking this to full blown fluff if it wasn't before, well I don't know if it was 'fluff' but really out of character, weird, crazy, okay haha.

"Ready to go?" Calleigh asked as Eric and her emerged from the bedroom.

"Yep." Teah nodded as she opened the door, anxious to get back to her hotel room, shower, change and go back to sleep. The three headed down the hallway towards reception. "So you said before you hoped someone wasn't working here?"

"Yeah." Eric stifled a laugh. "We've had some… unpleasant experiences with one of the receptionists.

"How so?" Teah asked.

"She developed a crush on Eric." Calleigh giggled and Teah smiled as Eric blushed and immediately looked uncomfortable. "And we sort of…antagonized her a bit last night." Teah made a mock half surprised half disgusted face at Calleigh then giggled.

"I definitely have to talk to you guys more when I'm not drunk or hung over because you seem like really cool adults." Teah told them.

"Thanks." Eric smiled, obviously proud that his cool-ness hadn't faded with his youth.

"No problem." Teah replied as they reached the lobby.

"Dammit." Eric cursed under his breath as they saw she was. "I'm not going any further. If she sees me she'll flirt."

"You think?" Calleigh remarked as she continued to walk forward, Teah following her. "You and I will go up and talk to her. Eric might feel uncomfortable, but I don't."

"Alright." Teah nodded with a smile and they made their way to the desk.

"Hi, how may I help you?" Mindy asked. She was bent down below the counter reaching for something, and heard, rather than saw the guests approach the front desk.

"Hi, we need to find out what room Eli and Lena Jenkins are in, please." Calleigh requested and was satisfied beyond belief when she heard Mindy bash her head on the counter when she heard her voice.

"I'm sorry, that is confidential information, and unless you have a sufficient reason for needing it, I can't help you." Mindy informed her, trying to keep her face as professional as possible.

"I'm their daughter." Teah piped up.

"Well then wouldn't you already know the room they were staying in?" Mindy challenged her credibility.

"You think I'm lying? Do I need to show you identification?" Teah challenged her right back.

"I'm simply inquiring as to why you don't know what room your parents are staying in." Mindy defended herself. She didn't think the lazy looking teenager would be so competitive or on the ball, but she should have suspected it judging by the woman she was with.

"There was a problem in our last room, and we were getting a new one. I didn't really talk with my parents after that because I was out with friends I made, and then I was at the dance and then at Calleigh and Eric's room. Therefore I do not know the room number of my parents' room." Teah explained.

"Right." Mindy said in a sarcastic sort of way.

"Just tell us the room number." Calleigh put in.

"So you're a stubborn bitch whether or not your boyfriend is around." Mindy snarled.

"Ouch." Teah remarked.

"Okay, there were so many things wrong with that sentence." Calleigh smirked, "First of all, I am not a stubborn bitch, you're just jealous of me because Eric likes me better. Second of all, Eric isn't even my boyfriend. We were just friends until this weekend and we'll discuss where we stand later."

"You are so a stubborn bitch and I am not jealous of you." Mindy all but yelled at Calleigh, making many guests who hadn't already turned to watch the scene do so. Calleigh just smirked at her, and Mindy surprisingly slapped her across the face. Teah didn't know what to do, because she wasn't really too involved with this argument, nor did she know exactly what it was about, but Calleigh was not going to let some jealous receptionist slap her and get away with it. She slapped her back. Eric was trying to see what the commotion was about but didn't want to get seen by Mindy and so he was still laying low. "You do know you could get in trouble for assaulting a worker here, and get kicked out." Mind pointed out to Calleigh.

"You could get in trouble for assaulting an officer." Calleigh shot back at her.

"Is that what they're calling them these days?" Mindy smirked.

"I was referring to my profession as a police officer, but think what you shall." Calleigh shrugged. "The room number please?"

"203." Mindy sighed dejectedly as she read the number off the computer.

"Thanks." Calleigh smiled sweetly as she turned and walked calmly and collectedly towards Eric, Teah at her side.

"Wow. I've defiantly have to hang out with you guys again some time this weekend." Teah told them as they reached Eric.

"What was going on out there? Seems something interesting happened by the way everyone was whispering amongst each other and it took you guys a really long time to get a room number." Eric wondered.

"We were sort of…" Calleigh wasn't sure how to explain it.

"Mindy was giving us a hard time getting the room number and then she slapped Calleigh so Calleigh slapped her back then they argued for a while then Calleigh won the argument and Mindy gave us the room number." Teah explained briefly, and Eric just laughed.

"Wow, another great story to tell everyone at the lab." He chuckled, "I can picture it now, Calleigh had to beat a room number out of a receptionist. Ryan and Valera will love it."

"I didn't beat her. I slapped her." Calleigh pouted.

"It was still funny." Teah put in.

"And I'm sorry I missed it." Eric added.

"Well if you were there I would have been beating her off you, most likely." Calleigh smirked.

"Shut up." Eric tried to hide his smile at the reality of the fact as they headed down the hall towards room 203.
