Charlie leaned against the elevator wall as the doors slid shut. Her legs were still shaking and her heart was still under attack, the beats pounding in her chest and ears.
That guy, whoever he was, had been too gorgeous. Too charming. Too intimidating. Guys like him didnât normally notice her.
She pressed the button for the eighteenth floor and took a deep breath.
Somehow, sheâd kept her composure while he teased her about her bikini top. How humiliating to fling it at him! Talk about mortifying. Heâd stayed cool the entire time, amusement playing in those very fine lips of his. She couldnât fault him that. The situation was ridiculous. Add it to her long list of mishaps.
Add being half-naked in public to a reputation that lately seemed to focus only on her failings. She needed to go from accident-prone to flawless sophisticate pronto if she had any hope of getting her father to take her more seriously.
Pool guyâs half-nakedness had been quite all right, though. Men didnât really have abs like that. Or shoulders. Or arms. Or smiles that showed off perfect white teeth and said, Hi, yes Iâm beautiful, but Iâm friendly too. Only this one did. He was hotness on a stick and no doubt every girl who looked at him wanted a taste. Good thing she hadnât been able to see his eyes or she might not have been able to walk away. She had a thing for eyes and no doubt his matched the rest of his unbelievable self.
The elevator doors opened, and she headed down the hallway. âHey, Iâm back,â she called out as she entered the hotel room. âAre you feeling any better?â
Charlie and her best friend, Ashley Morgan, had taken a little road trip from California so Ash could do some research on Route 66 in preparation for her big interview for Natural World, the largest online magazine focused on anything and everything outdoors. Charlie wrote for the company, too. Only her pieces were all fluff, never substance.
The owner and publisher, Thomas Beckett, didnât think she was ready for more. Just like he hadnât thought her ready to get her ears pierced until she turned thirteen and date until she was seventeen, andâ¦
âCharlize Beckett, where have you been? I think Iâm dying.â Ashley lay curled up in a ball on the bed with her hair matted to her forehead and all the color gone from her face.
âIâm so sorry.â Charlie rushed to her side. âI fell asleep. And then⦠It doesnât matter. Youâre feeling worse?â She put the back of her hand on Ashâs forehead. She hadnât wanted to go lay out by the pool, but Ashley had insisted, saying it silly for both of them to be cooped up. âYou feel warm.â
âI think the chicken I ate last night has zombified and decided it would be fun to tear the lining of my stomach to pieces.â
âWe should get you to an emergency room. It could be serious, like your appendix.â Charlie jumped to her feet.
