| "Did he leave any messages for your room?"Kristy inquired of Vanessa as they lay by the pool that late afternoon. "Just that he was sorry he missed me that he'd try back later." "Asshole." "Kristy. It's okay. I'll find a way to get to him. I was in his room remember?" "As drunk as you were?" "I may have been drunk but I know what room we were in." "So we never did get to discuss your evening girl." "Let's just say I satisfied a curiosity last night." "And the man himself?" "Incredible. So where'd Shannon go anyway?" "I think she just went up to the room. Why?" "She's been gone awhile." "And I'm back with company,"she announced as they set their things down by the remaining available chairs. "Terri has a smile on her face. I haven't seen that since this morning. What's going on?" "You want me to tell them?" "No. I'll tell them. We're going to see the concert tonight,"Terri replied. "We're going to the concert?"Kristy's eyes lit up. "You okay with this?"Vanessa's inquiry somber. "I've gotta face it. How 'bout you? You heard anything from him yet?" "He called but I wasn't there." "You take care of it tonight. We have passes too." "We do?"Kristy jumped in. "Yes. Why is Kristy the only one excited about this?" "Because apparently she had a better time than the rest of us." "I beg to differ,"Sherl graced them with her presence. "I forgot. She had the man before they even got to his room." "So Terri told you the good news already then?" "Yeah. So back to you,"Vanessa adressed Sherl. "Excuse me,"the young man dressed in a hotel uniform."Is there a Vanessa Solomon here?" "I'm Vanessa." "There's a call here for you,"He handed the cordless phone to her. |

| "Vanessa?"the voice on the other end inquired. "This is she." "I'm sorry I missed you earlier but I was wondering if we could get together now and see if we could figure something out." "Where?" "My room,"he suggested. "Could you give me about fifteen, twenty minutes? I'm down by the pool right now." "Sure. You remember which room?" "Yes. I'll see you then,"she ended the connection with a click."Thank you,"she handed the phone back to the young gentleman and he disappeared. "I take it that was him?"Kristy questioned. She nodded solemnly. "You gonna be okay?"Terri jumped in. "I'll be fine. I'll see you guys in a little while." |
