Chapter 5 Ridgeland

"Wake up, Elle. Here we are now." Drew announced as he parked the car inside the Crimson Hotel, the beautiful one with best quality service in the city. She slightly opened her eyes and wandered around the surroundings. She fixed her hair, turned off the car stereo and they both got out of the car, automatically locked the doors with an alarm after they held their luggage. They walked toward the hotel's reception and checked in with two rooms. "Why two rooms?" asked Drew. We can be in one executive room, Elle?" He added. "Okay, Drew, it is fine with me." She agreed, smiling. The Receptionist gave them yhe key and Elle held it fast. "I'll be the one to hold the key," she said playfully. Drew just smiled teasingly. They both headed towards the elevator and pressed the button for the seventh floor. They reached the Room 757, two rooms away from elevator. "Whoah! At last we arrived safe and sound!" Elle said, suddenly laid down on the king-size bed with white sheets and quilts, and huge pillows. "Aren't you tired, Drew?" She immediately asked while getting her phone out of her pants' pocket. "Hi Mom! Drew and I just arrived now at Crimson Hotel. Please tell Dad we're safe. Thanks Mom, I love you." Elle called her Mom right away. "Okay sweetie, I'll tell your Dad. Eat on time and enjoy there, take pictures too." Mrs. Bess Smith said with a smile on her pretty face. "Yes Mom, I will. See you." She said, hung up the phone. "Drew, aren't you tired? Let's rest for awhile before taking lunch. I know you're exhausted in driving. I'll be the one to drive within the city, okay." Elle commanded him, smiling. He agreed with a smile as he laid down beside her.
