"Are you checking in Miss?" A girl asked.

"Yes." Mariella replied as she looked up from her phone and stepped forward.

The name 'Emily' was on the badge that was pinned to her crisp white blouse, she was a little taller than Mariella; Emily was slim with curvy hips and lightly tanned skin, the top two buttons on her blouse were undone and the blouse was just thin enough to show an outline of her white bra underneath. She had a pretty face with big bright blue eyes and blond hair in soft waves that rested on her shoulders, she wore pink lipstick and had manicured nails that now tapped on the keyboard in front of her.

"OK, we have your credit card already, so you are all set, we have you in room 4338." Emily said.

She held out a small envelope with the room key inside it.

"Thank you." Mariella said, taking the key.

"Is there anything else I can help you with?" Emily asked.

"No, thank you." Mariella smiled. "But I do like your hair. Very pretty." She added.

"Oh, thank you." Emily replied.

"You're welcome." Mariella said.

"Enjoy your stay." Emily said.

"Thanks, I will." Mariella replied.

Mariella smiled, turning she grabbed hold of the handle of her suitcase and headed in the direction of the elevators, as she glanced to her side, she smiled at the man who was in line behind her.

"Are you checking in Sir?" Emily asked.

"Yes I am." Barnes replied as he smiled back at the woman who had been in front of him in the line.

He stepped up to the counter and smiled watching as Emily tapped on the keyboard in front of her, he towered over her by several inches; Barnes himself was easily over 6' tall and weighed about 250 pounds, as he watched Emily he reached up and ran a hand through his wavy brown hair.

"OK, your room is ready Sir, we have you in room 1464." Emily said as she held out the key for Barnes.

"Thank you very much." Barnes replied, taking the key.

"Enjoy your say." Emily added.

"Thanks. I will." Barnes said, and smiled. "She's right by the way; your hair is very pretty." He added.

"Oh, thank you sir." Emily smiled and blushed at the compliment, she reached up and ran her fingers through her hair.

"You're welcome." Barnes replied as he turned and walked off.

He saw there was no one standing at the elevators and was slightly disappointed even though he had remembered the woman's room number who had checked in in front of him.

Which room to go too?
