Hotel Getaway

Chapter 1

'Seriously Lola?'

I stare at my best friend waving two tickets in front of my nose. I sigh deeply and roll my eyes. 'No.'
'Come on!' Lola whines before she starts jumping on my bed like a little child. 'Nope.' I shove my laptop closer and start scrolling through some clothes. Lola jumps in the air one more time before she falls down beside me. She swings her legs against the wall and stares up the ceiling. Yes, Lola is my best friend but sometimes she can be such a little child.

'Why not?'

I sigh and get a hand through my uncombed hair. 'You never want to do something fun with me.' Lola pushes herself up so that she is sitting straight up next to me. 'Lo, you know that that is not true.' And it isn't! I am as much a party girl as Lola. We always go out together and have fun. The only things I don't agree with are her crazy ideas. For example: walking naked to our home because we went skinny dipping and someone stole our clothes, instead of calling for help.

'Hotel Getaway. The place to escape from your life, get fucked and just forget everything for four whole weeks! Who doesn't want to go?' I look over at Lola who is staring at me with her blue pleading eyes. 'What is holding you back? Don't tell me it is Chase.'

I sigh and roll my eyes. 'It is not Chase.'

'Really? Because have you dumped him yet?'

Lola gets off the bed and starts walking towards the mirror. Ugh I really do not want to talk about Chase right now. He is a guy that likes me, a lot. We are not a couple or anything, but I am sort of leading him on simply because I don't know how to reject him. I am just too... nice for that. I don't want to hurt his feelings.

'I mean I-'

'Exactly!' Lola chimes in. She starts fixing her hair in the mirror. 'I am telling you Rachel this hotel is the escape we are both looking for.' Both? 'What are you trying to escape then Lo?' Lola turns around with an expression that says are-you-seriously-asking-me-that-? 'Tyson.' Of course. Tyson is Lola her stalking ex. They dated for four months but then Lola got bored and dumped him. He did not take that well and since that moment he has been stalking her.

'Besides, I just want to get away. Go on a holiday or something. I even want to get away from our apartment.' Lola and I have been best friends since high school and since we went to the same college we decided to rent an apartment. And it is wonderful living with your best friend, but she is right sometimes you just need another scenario.

'Come on Rachel.' She whines again.

I close my laptop and sigh. Am I seriously considering this? 'I just don't know. Isn't it designed for people who just finished their college?' Lola scoffs and starts inspecting her nails. 'So? Besides you need some new dick to ride.'

'Lola!'

'What? You can act all weird, but it is the truth. When was the last time you had some good dick?'

I groan at her directness and let myself fall back on the bed. 'Why can't you be like normal people?'

'I am normal! Sex is normal. So, answer my question?'

'The last one was,' I let myself think back to the last time I slept with a guy. 'Luke six months ago.'

'Six months?! Rachel that is just embarrassing.'

Ladies and gentlemen meet my sex addicted best friend. 'Lola not everyone is like you.'

'I know I am unique.'

Suddenly my phone starts vibrating on the bed. The caller ID pops up showing a picture of Chase. I look over at Lola staring at me with a strict gaze. 'Don't pick up your phone.' Her voice is cautionary, but I can't ignore him that is just rude. 'Rachel.' She says warningly.
