The night crew.
1073 Words
After dinner I was up until midnight thinking of a way to get to Rhea. I came out of my room to the corridor it was well lit for the time it was.
I mean it’s midnight why are the lights on, such a waste of money. I start walking and realized that the cleaning staff are at work.
Ah, that’s why the lights were on.
I waited for almost fifteen minutes for them to leave and then ran to the lift. The lift was locked, so I ran to the lobby so that I could walk up to her room through stairs.But there were some men sitting at the bar and they had a clear view of the stairs.I didn’t want to risk being caught.
I came back to my room and started thinking of ways I could get out. Maybe I can wait for the men to leave, but it will take long.So I walk out of the room in search of the dumb waiter , that could lead to the next floor.
But to my amazement the service door was open and so I ran out. Bare feet as I thought I was going to climb stairs from inside I didn’t want any noise from the footwear.
Unfortunately I had to run out, there’s grass thank God. I headed down for a reckon.
I remember Monk hoods wine creepers on the wall. They were secured by a wooden skeleton behind.
I definitely can climb it.
I started climbing to the first floor. Clawing my way up the first wooden branch breaks when I rest my feet on in, so I pull my body weight on my hands to my surprise that breaks as well.
Falling to the ground was not painful but humiliating. I had to brush off the grass and try a new way.
I come back to the service entrance,it is also locked now?
Wow, now what?
I walk past the gate and there were two dogs growling, I look back and two Doberman staring at me.
Do I run? Do I stand still? I swear I think I peed a little out of fear.
“Stay” asserted a voice from behind.I turned back to see Ron smoking a cigar. Walks from behind and holds my arm.
The watchman immediately runs past us, and whistles at the dog and they run back to their dens.
“What are you doing out here at night? Did you just fall? There is mud on your face and hands. Are you ok?”
“ I am fine. I just came out for fresh air and the doors were closed” I asserted.
There is a door at the right entrance always open. “Didn’t you know that?” He exclaimed.
“No, I didn’t” i replied shamefaced.
Now what, how do I meet Rhea? This is bad. Walking back to my room I slipped on something wet. The concierge ran after me to help me up.
I had a big wooden stick sticking out of my elbow. It must have been when I tried to do the stunt.
Ron walked right behind me again and saw the blood dripping in a trail that I made fro the entrance and offer to help me.
I was escorted to the first floor when he was staying in one of the rooms near to the bride and grooms suite.
Ron has dark brown eyes with long, dark eyelashes paired with a pearly white smile. Everything was perfectly symmetrical on his face. Furthermore, he has a chiseled jaw line which is quite manly and attractive.
He had short black hair which fell perfectly on his face with a slight swoop.
I’m a pretty tall woman,but I noticed that he was significantly taller than me. As I’m not into super buff men, I liked his slightly muscular, lean build.
Not that I was interested in him. It’s just that I appreciate good looking guys.
He dress up my wound but was very curious as to why was I out at night and what happened to my arm?
“I just slipped and fell, nothing major you know. Being at this beautiful place I guess I was trying to be mysterious.” I laughed.
We chatted for a while. He offered to walk me to my room. It was almost 3 in the morning.
“It’s fine, I can walk down the stairs by myself. I was out by myself self, weren’t I ?” I winked.
He stood by the door for me to walk down the stairs and closed the door once I walked out of his glance.
I waited for a few minutes and walked back to the floor and stood near the brides suite for a while not sure if I should just knock or walk in unannounced.
I knocked at the door 2 times, but no answer . I waited for about five minutes between each time I knocked but I had to get back eventually.
While I walked back, I heard footsteps running towards me from my left, scared I turn around quick. Somebody pulled my arm to the left and into a dimly lit brooms room.
Putting my complete effort and pull my hand away and look back to punch the person in the face. I immediately realized it’s a girl.
It’s Rhea!! “Oh My God, it’s you. I am so glad to meet you.”
“Did you arrange it?” She asked.
“I am sorry Rhea, I didn’t get an opportunity to read the letter.It fell in” she interrupted me abruptly. She hugged me for almost five minutes and cried.
Wiping her tears in her dress, she looks at me with hope.
“I wanted you to find Richard and find out about Mike.” She asserted.
“I didn’t see Richard in this whole trip.”I said.
“Oh” she started looking down and thinking.
But why am I here ? I asked.
Smoking a cigarette,Rhea started explaining why she wanted me here At her wedding “Look, I have done some mistakes in life, met some wrong people, but I see a life with Dev now.”
“everyone around me have either stabbed me in the back or taken advantage of me, you were the only one I can trust who has been completely honest.
Honestly, I want to repair my life and I want it to be amazing, it’s just that I want to forget what happened to me the day before you left”
“It’s killing me Rhea, what happened that night “ I pressed on her hand asserting that I wanted to hear her side of the story.
“You know Mike right, I really enjoyed his company. He was a nice guy.”
The time I met him in Paris I was just recovering from my drug addiction.
