Chapter 2: Dropping Hints
"Angel? Are you ok? You've been daydreaming. Don't daydream too long, you won't have enough
dreams when you go to sleep." Zack laughed.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." I said shaking my head out of it's thoughts.
"So am I going to show you around or what?" Zack said, smiling. I couldn't help but notice how white
his teeth are.
"Yes, yes of course." I said smiled. My cheeks started to hurt again. I think I was forcing my smile to
hard. I stopped smiling and went along with Zack.
"Well, here I'm sure you have already seen the candy counter. And on the opposite side is the desk
where Moseby works. He doesn't like us being in the lobby, so I suggest you stay away from him at
all times." Zack joked.
"Ah yes, Ms. Martinez. How may I help you?" Mr. Moseby asked.
"And you said I should stay away from him," I teased. "Oh nothing, but thank you for the offer."
"Alright then. Zack, I suppose you are leaving Ms. Martinez right now are you not?" Moseby hinted.
"Nope, I'm showing her around the hotel. You know, I do know this place very well." Zack smiled.
"Yes, I'm sure you do. You wreck it every day. Now please if you must show her around, please
move on out of my lobby!" Mr. Moseby started raising his voice then calmly walked away to Maddie
to deliver an important staff message.
"Now that that old crank is gone, let's show you around the ballroom. Then we'll head to the kitchen.
Or maybe the pool. Whatever you want to see that you're interested in." Zack hesitated.
"Whatever you say." I mysteriously said. We walked to the ballroom. Not much, but it was decent
looking. I could see the poster advertising Carey Martin's singing.
"Hmm, Carey Martin. I would like to see her sing." I said sweetly.
"Haha, just come over my room and listen to her in the shower." Zack joked.
"She's related to you?" I asked.
"She's my mom! Haha." Zack said,
"Oh, that would explain everything!" I said suprised.
"Yeah, my parents split so my mom takes care of my brother and I." Zack said, his excitement gone.
"I'm so sorry, but how come your dad didn't take one of you?" I asked.
"I don't know. I never really knew. But it's hard to explain. At least, that's what my mom tells me." Zack sighed.
