The Honeymoon Suite

Taco

I stared at the message so hard I thought I'd burn a hole through the screen.

I can't send him this...

I held down on the backspace button until every word had disappeared.

"Taco"

Sent.

I flopped down onto the bed.

I hate myself.

30 minutes later and I was still waiting. What was he doing this whole time?

That's when I heard the door click, and I sat straight up immediately.

"Re-"

"We're hereee!" A woman's voice called out

A girl entered through doorway. She was Asian, and couldn't have been more than five feet tall. For hair she wore a short bob with the front strips dyed pink, and the bridge of her nose was speckled with freckles. She pushed her sunglasses up so they were on the top of her head.

"Wow, this place is so romantic!"

Her eyes landed on me.

"Oh, you must be Nolan! I'm Claire," she smiled.

Huh?

Soon Griffin entered behind her.

"Hey man, we made it," he saluted.

I opened my mouth, confused.

"Wha-"

Reid entered the room and placed a bag on the coffee table.

"Tacos are in there. I'm gonna shower."

His face was as void of expression as ever.

"Reid!"

He turned, hearing his name.

"I..." I trailed off, not knowing what to say.

"Um, thanks," was all I managed to get out.

Reid's eyes looked at me with a hundred different emotions, but not one dared show itself on his face.

Without a word, he left for the bathroom, shutting the door behind him.

Griffin let out a low whistle.

"What... is this tension?" Claire questioned.

I buried my face in my hands, sighing.

"Anyway, ready to get to work?" Griffin asked.

I brought my head up, confused.

"Work?"

"On your van, so we can spend the last night at the other hotel? That's why we're here... didn't Reid tell you?"

I shook my head.

"No, he didn't."

I looked at the bag of tacos.

That's why Reid was gone for nearly 3 hours, he called them up. I scoffed.

"Nolan..." Claire's voice was soft.

"I know we just met, but did something happen?"

My gaze fell into my lap.

"...Yeah, I guess you could say that."

"Are you serious?" Her tone had completely turned around and suddenly turned pissed.
