The storm has passed, but clean up efforts are far from over. As the clerk's shift nears an end she points guests to the free breakfast. As she does, she sees Victoria and remembers her from the night before as the woman who offered to her room. "Good morning," the clerk says to the red head. "How was your night?"
"It was good," Victoria replies.
The clerk then clocks herself out and steps out from behind the counter. Victoria smiles at the reveal she is wearing sheer black hose under her knee length uniform skirt. "Heading home," Victoria asks the clerk.
"Yes," she replies while putting on her jacket. "It has been a long night." The clerk walks out but a few minutes later comes back in. She is talking on her cell and does not look happy. "What the hell do you mean I can't get through?" She waits for a reply from the other end. A reply she does not seem to like. "Dammit Ben, this is why I didn't want to move to the fucking country. Do you know how long it will be?" Again, she waits for a reply and is not pleased with what she hears. "Fine! call me when I can come home!"
"Is everything alright?" Victoria asks as the clerk puts her phone away.
"Just the damn storm, It has my country road blocked off and it will take crews a while to clear it."
"I see, do you have a place to go in the meantime?"
"The employee lounge I guess," the clerk replies. Usually we can get a room, but, with them all booked, that is not an option."
"I have a thought," Victoria says, "come to my room while they clean your road. You look like you could use a hot shower and some rest."
The clerk is hesitant, but decides to take the red head up on her offer."So, she says to Victoria as they go to the room, "will the man you shared with mind me doing this?"
Victoria slightly shakes her head and smiles while discreetly taking a look at the clerk's hosed legs. "No, Jane will not mind.
It isn't until the door of the room closes behind them that the clerk processes what Victoria said.
"Wait, Jane, the guy's name was James."
A sultry, raven haired beauty suddenly stands from the lounge chair on the other side of the room. She has plump red lips, perfect Double D breasts and long suntan, hosed legs. "You're right,' she says while walking to the stunned clerk. "My name was James."
