The Meeting (close)...

When they arrived at the hotel, they proceeded to the check in counter. “Hello, Mr. Hayaat, glad to see you back, it has certainly been a long time since your last visit with us” said the attractive counter attendant. She continued with her presentation of his hotel arrangements “We have your reservations ready; your room is No.5, here is the safe combination and your mobile sim card, for the lady her room will be next to yours as requested. She will be in No.4.” The attendant finished the details of their accommodations with “If you remember there is 24 hour room service and a full service bar and lounge down here. Now, let me show you to your rooms.” He took the keys and reached for his dream queen’s hand. This time a little more confidence showed in his touch. She wondered silently ‘Why he still booked two rooms; didn’t they agree that only one room was needed?’
After being led up one flight of stairs and let into their rooms, the attendant left and he spoke to her. “Listen,” he said softly, “I know we agreed that only one room was needed, but I wanted to make sure you were comfortable with me in person before we proceeded with the one room idea. I can close this room out anytime so don’t worry.” ‘Oh my, was he reading my mind?’ filled her undisclosed thoughts. Then other votes from her emotional gallery came flooding in as she watched him go to his room; ‘He is such a gentleman, really concerned for me. Oh yeah, I am going to enjoy these next 10 days because he is definitely presenting himself as someone I want to be close to for the rest of my life.’
‘I hope she was not offended, I just figure it would be better this way. I screwed up didn’t I? As usually, slow at everything but … oh never mind I am doing the best I can. I just hope my best doesn’t cause this to end.’ His assertive but pesky conscience battered him mentally after he entered his room. To his amazement a soft knock came at the door. He quickly went to the door and opened it to find her standing there smiling and still amazingly beautiful after such a long trip. “Ah,” she started to say “I am a bit hungry coz I haven’t eaten since I left home this morning.” ‘Oh my God, where are my manners, these words smacked his mental tablet with the quickness of a jackrabbit trying to avoid capture.’ “Come-in, I was just going to call your room and ask you if you wanted some food and drink” he quickly responded with a boyish smile. ‘Good work idiot’ echoed in his head. ‘First you shun touching her, then you book two rooms instead of the one you both agreed on over the internet and now you are trying to starve her. It would not be shocking if she is no where near here in the morning because you keep tripping over your own feet.’ These statements shredded his confidence like a hot knife through butter.
