What do you do?

Go straight to the front desk for help

I went straight for the front desk for help. It was a grueling process, I had to wait for about 15 minutes for them to get a translator to assist me properly. But what I didn't expect, was the translator to be someone I recognized.

"Jane! Is that you?" said the familiar voice.
"Ben?! Oh my god. You're the last person I'd expect to see here." I replied with excitement.

Ben quickly gave me a hug, an extended strong lifting me off my feet hug. I knew Ben from high school. He was my first boyfriend and the only other guy I dated before I met Tom in college. I instantly thought about the times we had, Ben and I were close and he was a great guy but things didn't work out cause we were so young.

Now that I see him, he looks similar enough to how he did back in high school for me recognize him. Except he is much more rugged, taller, and with a darker complexion. I had to admit, he looked good enough to be a model for men's products. I felt myself blushing to be near him, after all a girl never forgets her first love.

"What brings you here?" he asked.
"I'm celebrating my one year anniversary."
"With Tom, right?"
"Of course, duh!"
"So what can I do for you?" Ben's tone changed to a more professional one.
"I feel stupid but left my key in room and I need help getting back in." I felt a bit embarrassed and I probably sounded that way too. I thought Ben would think I had another blonde moment as he used to tease me about it.
"Well, no worries. I can help you right away."

We get on an elevator we make small talk.
"You looks great." said Ben.
"You do too." I replied.
"So where's Tom?"
"He's at the beach right now. He rushed off to go swim since he hadn't had a chance in ages. I was going to meet up with him just now."
"Well, I have to say. Tom is a lucky man to marry you." He gave me a big rugged handsome smile. I just nodded, blushing as well.

I wasn't paying attention to the floor we stopped at and got off of, but once we got off I noticed the hallways seemed different.

"Is this the right floor?" I asked.
"It seems I failed to mention that since we go way back, I upgraded you to the suite. It's the least I could do for a good friend."
"Oh my god. Thank you so much!" I almost screamed with joy, "I have to get my stuff and tell Tom the good new."
"Oh that's taken care of. We'll move all your stuff and inform Tom of the upgrade. In the meantime, let me give you a tour."

I followed Ben as he lead the way, into a massive hotel suite that looked far better than our previous arrangement. I roamed around with a smile and much excitement that Ben seemed share as he was equally as excited. Once I calmed down, a cart was rolled in with a bottle of champagne chilled in a bucket of ice.

"You really shouldn't have Ben." I said with a bit of guilt.
"It's fine Jane, I own the whole place after all." His words left me in shock. The next thing I hear is the champagne cork popping out.
"Allow me to toast to your happy marriage." Ben filled a stemmed glass with the fizzling golden liquid and handed it to me.
