The following morning seemed to come way too early with the sunlight peeking through the curtains of the hotel room and waking to find myself alone
in bed and hoping it wasn't all just a dream. I groggily sat up and looked around the room attempting to find the one that had comforted me
throughout the night.
"Good morning." I heard him whisper from the table at the foot of the bed.
"What are you doing up so early?" I asked.
"I don't sleep well. I didn't want to wake you so I just got up and plugged in the headphones to listen to the morning news."
I crawled to the end of the bed and rose to my knees and asked,"Did you get ANY sleep?
"Very little. I'll probably sleep a little on the road later."
I slouched a little and played with my hair.
He asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I guess I just didn't realize how little time I have to spend with my new friend."
He laughed and I said, "So, What are we waiting for? Let's go get the other lazy bones up." I said this as I had my hand on the doorknob of the room.
I walked out into the hallway with him close behind asking, "Do you even know where you're going?" I responded, "No. What do you think you're for?"
as I grabbed his hand. He laughed and said, "Ummmm, in case you haven't noticed, there are a lot of people in this hallway and we're not wearing much."
I stopped for a minute and turned to look at him. He was blushing and only wearing boxers. I said, "Hmmmm, sexy." He laughed and said, "Okay. They're right in here."
I began beating on the door wildly saying, "FIRE! FIRE! GET UP! THERE'S A FIRE!" Mandoline answered the door wearing Dans shirt and nothing else.
I pushed past her and landed hard on the bed. She slowly walked over and collapsed half on top of me half on top of Dan and said, "That's nice. Goodnight."
David closed the door and walked to the bed and sat on the edge. He pushed at Dans head and asked him, "Hey man, what the hell are you doing sleeping with
two beautiful women in your bed?" Dan laughed and said, "What the hell makes you think I'm sleeping? I haven't slept all night." He then looked at us and said,
"With what you two are wearing, I'd say you didn't either." I said, "Oh, Ha ha ha." Dave replied, "Nah, she's a lady, not a toy. Not implying that you are, Mandoline."
She said, "No I am. But, I'm a top shelf toy." We all laughed.
I said after a few a minutes of silence, "So, what are we having for breakfast?" Dan replied by biting Mandoline on the neck and saying, "I know what I'm havin'."
I said, "Now now...we'll have none of that. At least not when I'm in the same bed with you." This warranted a hearty laugh from both the guys.
David then suggested that we all go to Denny's. We all agreed and decided that we'd meet in the lobby in a half an hour.
