Chapter 11 - Hotel Room (2/2)

We reached to the hotel. It was indeed fancy and alluring. We went to the reception to know about our room and arrange a extra room so that one of us can stay. I wanted to get the room on the same floor so that it won't be hazard for both of us.

I noticed the receptionist was younger than me so I addressed her as 'Miss'

” Mr. and Mrs. Lester ” I gave her the names

” Here's the key sir enjoy your stay” she gave me the key of the room.

” Miss can we get an extra room?” I politely asked without taking the key.

” I'm sorry sir but all the rooms are reserved before one week. Our hotel is specifically known for a good destination for honeymoon couples that's why you have to take reservations before hand.” I understood the situation but couldn't make out a solution.

I thought about going to some other hotel but if we don't use the room, the money will be refunded to my mom. She will immediately be notified about it. I pleaded the receptionist girl a little longer then Stella came and grabbed my hand,dragging me little further from the receptionist desk.

” What's the matter?”

” They don't have any other room available. On the other hand we can't go somewhere else either. The money will be refunded and my mom will find out about it.”

” Then let's stay at the room your mom booked. Since it's a five star hotel I'm sure our room will be big enough for both of us. I even shared a room with my brother before so relax okay.” She told me and we went back to the desk.

The receptionist girl gave us the key and we took the elevator. We opened the room and our luggage was already in there.

But after that what I saw, made me felt bemused. The bed was indeed large enough for two of us but it was covered with red rose petals. The white bed sheet was filled with those red rosy petals. It was definitely a view, newlyweds would enjoy. Although I was not pleased to see this.

I stayed at my place where else Stella jumped on the bed letting out a good laugh.

She began to hold the petals in her palm and threw them above her. The petals came down falling on her.

” What are you doing?” I asked her opening my luggage.

” Isn't this great! Man I really love this. It's like sleeping on a bed with flowers.” She giggled softly. I noticed how happy she was so I decided to let her sleep on the bed. I looked around the room and thankfully there was a couch big enough for me to sleep in it. I certainly thanked my mom for booking the deluxe room.

” Fine you can sleep on the bed I'll take the couch.” Hearing this Stella frowned and lifted her upper body from bed.

” Are you kidding me? This bed is big enough for both of us we can easily sleep in here. How can you pick that hard,stiff,rigid, uneven couch over this soft fluffy baby?!” Stella exclaimed at my answer.

She got up and picked up the pillows, placing them in the middle of the bed, making a wall.

” You take the left side and I'll take the right one. This barrier will prevent us from getting inside each other's side.” She explained her plan. Well I had no problem either as long she's okay with it. So technically we will be sleeping in the same bed without having any contact with each other. I was still in relationship with Regina and I'm not going to cheat on her.

That's how we settled our room problem and since it was late already we decided to eat the dinner at our room.

I called in the room service and ordered food for us. I already changed into a comfortable attire. Stella also changed her clothes and wore a baggy t-shirt with a baby pink shorts. She was sitting on the balcony looking at view of Rome. She got up and stood at thr edge of the balcony. Her pale skin sparked in the dim moonlight. I could see her smile from side of her face. The chilly wind of night made her hair wave in the sky. The night sky was brightening with the stars. The sight was beautiful but the person viewing at the sight, seemed more beautiful to me somehow.
