Room 4338

Mariella waved the card in front of the lock and heard it click and saw a green light, she pushed down the handle and opened the door; after unpacking she stood in front of the full length mirror and looked at herself, at 5'6" she could easily see all of herself in the reflection, her long red hair, when loose, hung about halfway down her back, but now, as she almost always did, she wore it pulled back in a hair tie to keep it out of her way; she had decided not to wear makeup tonight so the freckles that ran across the bridge of her nose and the tops of her cheeks were noticeable, she had bright green eyes and naturally rosy lips; she bit softly at her lower lip as she looked at her reflection.

After a shower she dressed in a blue floral-patterned sundress, the spaghetti straps of the dress rested on her shoulders and the blue pattern was interrupted by some lace patchwork across her midriff under her breasts, the skirt ended mid-thigh. Reaching down her freshly painted fingers touched the smooth skin of her legs; she didn't wear a bra; she often went without on a night out. Her breasts were high and round and firm, her nipples were slightly visible through her dress and she bit softly on her bottom lip as she ran a fingertip briefly over one.

Under her dress all she wore was a blue thong; the bathroom still felt warm, and the mirror was still steamed up from her shower as she walked back in; she grabbed the bottle of perfume, spraying some on her skin and walked back out and turned off the light. On the desk was her bag, into it she put her purse, keys, phone, and everything else she thought she might need for the night and then she looked around the room for her shoes. Wearing a pair of simple black ballet-flats, she grabbed her bag, made sure she had her room key, turned off the lights and headed out of the room.

She walked down the hallway and pressed the call button for the elevator; walking out of the elevator Mariella walked across the atrium towards the bar, it was not too busy and she made her way past several occupied tables and took one of the empty seats at the bar, putting her bag down on the seat of the chair next to her, taking out her phone.

"Good evening Miss. Can I get you something to drink?" The bartender asked, casually tossing a coaster in front of her.

"I’ll have a gin and tonic, please." Mariella replied.

While she waited, she swiped the screen on her phone and scrolled through the most recent emails she had received.

"Here you go." The bartender said, placing the glass in front of her.

"Thank you." Mariella replied, smiling up at him.

"My pleasure. If you need anything my name is Sebastian." He said and smiled back at her.

"OK, thank you Sebastian." Mariella said as she brought her drink to her lips.
