"I always wondered what the view looked like from there"
"Hahahaha...so you are inviting yourself to my hotel room?"
"I'm not inviting myself anywhere, just saying I was wondering about the rooms."
"Ha, you were totally inviting yourself, but that's okay. I have no problem taking you up to the room."
She admitted she might have been inviting herself. After all she was the one who had convinced Nameless that she wouldn't be having him in nature. He had wanted to forgo the hotel and camp and invited her to join him. She informed him of her extreme princess status and how the outdoors was not a friend of hers. It didn't take much convincing for him to book a room.
A few weeks later he was texting that he was in town. After some back and forth they finally decided to meet up at the last minute downtown after she got off work.
She moved her car and they met up at the base of his hotel. He side-hugged her and hustled her off to dinner, explaining he was starving. They'd never had anything more than a few tapas together before and she was shocked at his actual hunger. She got to explain to him that MP on the menu for the steaks at the restaurant stood for "Market Price." He declared himself too hungry to care and told her to order anything she wanted.
Two Market Price Steaks and two Old-Fashions later, and he opted for a third drink and she had some dessert. He let her wax poetic about what was wrong with the local theatre scene, and what she would do to fix it, if she was going to stay in it. As it currently stood, she didn't think she was going to attempt it again. It hurt her heart too much to keep going with people not valuing her opinion or effort, or giving her a chance to direct.
Besides, she was having such a great time having downtime at the moment, otherwise she wouldn't be able to meet up with Nameless. Hell, she'd had so many other friend commitments she had barely met up with him anyway. She deliberately didn't make plans for two nights that week.
"Shall we move on to a bar?" He asked. "I don't know how many other drinks I can have, I still have to try home tonight." She responded.
"You didn't pack a bag?"
