TO BE OR NOT TO BE - PART 4

I opened up the mini-frig, peeked in, and shook my head. "Well, maybe you're in luck. There's nothing to eat in here and I don't feel like dining from those vending machines again. So, I'll take you up on your offer."
His face brightened and he jumped up from the chair. "All right. You won't be sorry, Sunny. I promise."
"Okay, then you go away and give me 30 minutes. Then call me, I should be ready."
"I'm really hungry, can you be ready sooner?"
"Do you want me to look my best?"
"I do."
"Thirty minutes and call," I said, pushing him toward the door.

Exactly thirty minutes later he calls, I told him I was ready and come on over. I had only brought a few clothes, so I wore the same green dress that I wore on my date with Antonio. Since he was just down the hall, in the room where the carpenters stayed, he was at my door in a flash. I put on my black dress jacket, sprayed on some perfume, and grabbed my purse just as he knocked.
I opened the door and Marks eyes got big. "Did you know that I was just down the hall?"
"You took the carpenters room."
"Two doors down, in case you get lonely."
"I'll keep that in mind," I said. He started to walk into the room. "I thought you were hungry?"
"I am, but I could use a little more pot if you got it. I'm supposed to score some tomorrow and I"ll pay you back. One thing about this city, it's easier to let someone else drive. That way you can get toasted and not worry about it."
He made a good case, so I put down my purse, took off my jacket, and pulled out a joint.

Mark said something funny and we were both laughing as we stepped out of the elevator in the lobby. I saw Antonio at the front desk, he was looking the other way, talking to somebody. I stepped to the side of Mark that would hide me from his vision but I'm sure he saw me before we got out of the building.
There was a chill in the air, that's when I realized I forgot to put my jacket back on after getting stoned. I crossed my arms and shivered while we waited for a cab. Mark must have noticed because he put his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close. It wasn't awkward, he was a smooth operator. I liked the feeling of warmth his body was radiating and he was a lot stronger than I thought he'd be.
