Chapter Two- The New Employee.
Ten years later, Vince Noir grew into an handsome teenager, getting his looks for his mother definatly. His brown/blond hair grew longer and his blue eyes still sparkled, only with a hint of past pain in them. His frame was quite tall, but thin and he was dressed in red tight trousers, with a light blue shirt and black boots adorning his feet. It was a crisp autumn's day and he was walking from the kitchen area, carrying a cup of tea to Bryan, who was sitting in the large armchair next to the unlit fireplace "Morning dad" Vince said, dismayed to see his father fell asleep in the chair instead of his room. He shook Bryan awake before moving to his room.
Later on, Bryan got changed into his business suit and was talking to a new employee "The opening times are from dawn until the final guest goes to bed. If the guest wants to stay up all night, then so will you. When I need you, you will be here before this bell stops ringing, no matter where you are or what you do, understand?"
The new employee, a young 22 years old man was listening carefully. Howard Moon had short brown, wispy hair, small brown eyes and a smallish moustace. He was dressed in a white shirt with brown trousers, a beige waist-jacket and brown boots "Yes sir, I understand" He answered before bryan moved on.
"Oh Howard, any lateness of any kind will not be tolarated, understand?" It didn't help Howard to stay serious when Rudi was behind his brother mouthing every word he was saying "I understand, sir"
"I thought you were meant to be here yesterday" Bryan asked, full of wonder.
"Oh, I had no money for transport, so I had to walk it here" Howard replied sheepishly before spotting Vince staring at him from the second floor. His breath caught in his throat at the beauty of the young man and he couldn't help but smile at him, but Vince was not amused at this and stalked off. Howard turned his head back to Bryan "Why are you smiling?"
"Just glad to be here, sir" Howard answered, before moving off to his room. All employees at the hotel had their own rooms, so Howard got the dirtiest and dustiest room in the place. He opened the cobweb-ridden curtians and looked outisde to see a large passageway between his room and another. On the passageway, he could see a small garden and in the middle was Vince, tending to the red roses around him. Howard was about to open his window to talk to Vince, when the bell downstairs rung.
He quickly changed into his red bell-boy's outfit and ran downstairs and out where a stagecoach was waiting. He gathered up about four bags and suitcases and bought them inside. Bryan also made him paint the outside of the small skylight on the roof, take the fresh fuirt and vegetables to the kitchen and mop the floors, as well as dealing with the customers staying.
Every now and again though, he would notise Vince walking past, either talking with the guests, helping out around the hotel or reading a book. Once Vince caught his eye and Howard smiled at him, but that just scared the younger man into going upstairs to his room. After a long day, Howard finally got to his room and just flopped down on the old sofa. He then notised the window again and looked outside, seeing the room opposite was Vince's.
The younger man himself was getting ready for bed, wearing an old yellow shirt and his black underwear. The sight of him bought sivers of pleasure down Howard's spine, electric pluses going down to an very percific area, until he saw Bryan come in to say goodnight to Vince 'That's his son? I thought he was just another employee' Howard thought, moving away from the window and to his bed, where he dozed off into pleasent dreams.

The next day, Vince was walking up the stairs and nearly walked into Howard, who was carrying a load of washing. Vince side-stepped the other way to get past, only for Howard to annoyingly do the same "I'm Howard, by the way" He introduced, hoping to get the younger man's name.
"Yes, I know. I'm Vince" The younger man answered back colly. They both gazed into each other's eyes for a minute, before Vince broke the contact and moved off, leaving Howard feeling rejected. Later on, he was waxing the large floor of the entrance hall and Vince was dealing with the roses. Howard soon got fed up of bending over to wax the floor and got another idea. He tied the waxing clothes to his feet and slid across the floor, like he was ice staking. Vince watched him and couldn't help but smiled, then laugh, whioch caused Bryan to look up from his work behind the reception desk to stare at Howard "That's not the way we do it here, do it right"
"Yes, mr Noir sir" Howard sighed sadly, giving one last look at Vince, his heart fluttering when he saw a smile graced the young man's lips. That evening, he was sent out to get coal for the many stoves in the hotel rooms and saw Vince walking his way. He rushed back the way he came and knelt down, watching as Vince walked around the corner and stopped at a shop window, looking in it. Howard took this as his chance and went over to him, making look like he didn't see Vince at all "Hey, didn't see you there Vince"
The young man turned his head towards him, then turned back to the window with a smile "Look at these, they're genius" Inside the window were a pair of knee length, high heeled black boots "They are nice" Howard admitted, notising how much Vince wanted them "Why don't you buy them then?"
Vince gave a small snort of amusment "I don't need them really, just looking at them really" Vince said sadly, before notising small white flakes falling from the starlit sky. "Hey, the first snow of winter. Hope it sticks" howard said happily, his smile falling when he saw the look of fear on Vince' face "What's wrong?" Vince placed a forced smile on his face "Nothing, I just don't like winter" He then turned back towards the hotel, leaving Howard alone and confused.

Over the next few days, the whole village was once again covered in a blanket of snowm the large lake frozen in clear ice. Children were having fun throwing snowballs around, but Vince looked down on them with a heavy heart from the outisde balcony of the hotel, he knew what winter was really like.
Howard watched him from a distance behind a tree, not notising when Rudi snuck up behind him "I think he likes you" Howard jumped around in shock and smiled sheepishly "I...er...I..."
Rudi just gave a small laugh "It's alright, you and Vince would make a fine couple" Howard looked wearily at thet "You try telling his father that"
"He'll come around, I'm his brother so I should know" Rudi explained "He's been unhappy for so long, he's bound to sooner or later" They both turned their heads to see Vince walk back into the hotel "Why is it he hates winter so much?"
"It ook his mother's life and his father's joy" Rudi answered sadly. Howard couldn't help but feel sorry for Vince, it must have been devestating to lose his mother like that.

In the kitchen, Rudi was busy rolling pastry out with Vince helping him "Had any idea of what to do for your 20th brithday? I think your father would let you have a party if you ask"
Vince smiled up to his uncle "Really? You think so? Cause that would be genius" Rudi smiled down at his nephew "It's about time we had one, you can even invite your boyfriend"
Vince looked shocked for a minute "Hang on, Howard's not my boyfriend" He lied, but Rudi just gave him a look "Your mother gave me that smae look and she couldn't lie about her feelings either. You should wear her rose brooch as well, she'd want it that way" Rudi said, a hint of smile in his voice.
When Vince didn't say anything and looked sadly at the pie he was making, Rudi tried a different approach "Remember when it was warm to the touch when you were young? She made it magic" Vince gave him a disbeliving look "It was warm because she put it on the stove at night"
"No, it was magic. it's not meant to stay stuck in a drawer" Rudi argued back annoyed, making Vince feeling guilty. That night, he sat on his bed in his room, thinking about his mother. He took out the rose brooch and held in in his hands, walking ove to the window and marvelling in the warmth contained within the jewellery.
In his own room, Howard was counting out his money he earnt, keeping some coins aside. He too went over to his window and placed a large coin on the stove in his room. Vince placed the brooch to the frist covered window the same time Howard placed the now warm coin, removing them to make peeholes. They both smiled at each other before moving away for bed.
