Do I really want to pursue something with her? He wondered as he tapped his key card on the panel and let himself into the room.

He pondered the question as he changed into clean clothes and quickly packed up his things into the two large cases, carry-on case and his back pack.

“Yup, I’m pretty sure I do.” He spoke loudly, as he pulled the cases to the door.

As he was standing at reception to check out an idea popped into his head. Offering his most winning smile, he turned the charm on for the woman, Jasmine, behind the desk. He told her that he’d met Ms. Chelsea Davis in the bar the previous night and he’d like to send a bottle of wine, some chocolate covered strawberries and a note to her room. Jasmine giggled and batted her eyelashes at him.

“That’s so romantic! And what would you like the card to say, Mr. Lewis?” Her long nails clicked on the computer keyboard as she made arrangements.

“Could you write, ‘The puck is in your zone, Ms. Davis.’”

“Sure thing!” She giggled.

“And can you add my cell number to it, too, please Jasmine?”

She giggled again at the mention of her name, as though it was surprising that he knew her name, despite the nametag on her blouse. Under normal circumstances he’d have taken this woman to bed, but right now, he only had eyes for Chelsea.

See? Told you I’ve grown, Chels.

As he left the hotel, he was more than confident in his gesture and had a sneaking suspicion that he’d hear from Ms. Chelsea Davis before she left the state.
