Before he went upstairs, he searched around the hotel for food or drinks. All he found were some candy bars, popcorn, and soda.
Not exactly what he wanted. He would’ve loved to have a beer or a cocktail, anything to prepare him for sharing a room with Madison for the night.
With his hands loaded down with junk food to keep his mind off her sleeping in the room with him, he stepped into the elevator.
At the room’s door, he quietly knocked.
When she opened up, she stared at him with surprise. “Are you hungry?”
It was all he could do to keep from saying, only for you. But he smiled and stepped into the room.
There was only one bed.
“I thought it was two beds,” he said.
“Me too,” she replied, gazing at him, her sapphire eyes large.
“I’ll sleep on the floor,” he replied, setting the snacks on a small table in the room.
“No, you will not,” she said. “Look at the floor. It’s not nasty, but it’s not clean either. We’ll find a way to make this work.”
“Did you call your mother?”
“Yes,” she said. “She told me it’s coming down hard there and we were smart to stay in town.”
That was a two-edged sword. It was smart to get off the road, but to spend the night together in a hotel room when all he could think about was getting her to change her mind about the two of them wasn’t the brightest idea he’d ever had.
He’d fallen in love with this woman and they were in a very precarious situation.
“They had a little stand downstairs with extra toothbrushes and toothpaste,” he said. “I bought us each one.”
Handing her a toothbrush, she sighed. “This is weird.”
“Yes,” he said.
“It’s our last date, and here we are in a hotel room, spending the night.”
They had no nightclothes, and he was not about to sleep in his tuxedo, and she could not sleep in her evening gown.
What would she wear?
“You can sleep in my shirt,” he said.
“Thanks.”
They were both nervous and felt awkward. It had never felt like this between them before.
“I’ll use the bathroom first and then you can change into my shirt,” he said, walking into the small bath.
Quickly, he brushed his teeth and removed the tux coat and his shirt. He was going to leave his pants on until they went to bed and then once the lights were out, he’d remove them.
When he walked out of the bathroom, he handed her the shirt.
“Here you go,” he said.
A few minutes later he heard her brushing her teeth and then he heard her struggling.
She opened the door and stared at him. “I can’t get the zipper down on this dress. Can you help me?”
