“I do,” I say. “But they didn't help me with this.”
“You came up with it on your own?” Kat asks.
“Yes,” I say frustrated.
“That's so romantic,” Lexie gushes.
“I hope you’re able to pull this off, buddy,” Kat says.
The elevator doors open to a crowded lobby. I immediately scan the room for Remi, but it's hard to see anyone clearly.
“I'll get us a key to her room,” Kat says.
“How are you going to do that?” I ask.
“Just watch,” she says.
Kat struts to the front desk with Lexie and I following a short distance behind. Even though I no longer watch her ass, I notice she garners looks from most of the men in the room.
“Remi Vargas, I lost my key and need a new one,” she says to the desk clerk. The clerk narrows her eyes at Kat.
“That's funny,” the clerk says. “Since you just asked for your key about an hour ago and you didn't look anything like you.”
“Okay, you got me,” Kat says. “Remi is my best friend and we're here to surprise her.”
“We?” the clerk asks.
“The three of us,” Kat says, gesturing to Lexie and me.
“Ms. Vargas is in a single room, not a double,” the clerk says. “Her room can't accommodate four.”
“And which room might that be?” Kat asks.
“I can't give out guest information like that.”
“It's important,” Lexie interjects, pushing herself toward the desk. “She and Bauer, here, are in love and they got into a fight and he's here to apologize.”
The clerk looks around the girls at me. “Young man, what did you do wrong?”
“A lot,” I say.
“Where’s your peace offering?” the clerk asks.
“I'm doing the grand gesture by coming here,” I say.
The clerk rolls her eyes at us. “You still need a peace offering.”
“See?” Kat says.
“Is this some kind of joke?” I ask. “Are you all in on it together? This is ridiculous.”
“Come on.” Lexie pulls at my arm. “We'll get flowers in the gift shop.”
“She's gonna know they are gift shop flowers,” the clerk says.
“Oh, good point,” Lexie says.
“You’re a nice looking boy, so I’m going to give you some advice.”
