What Does He Want

(Taleshas' Point Of View)

I watched in awe as this complete stranger was pulled away by his sister. This absolutely attractive man had done more for me and my sister then anyone had in a very long time. After everything I had just learned while having a blast shopping with the other girls, I hadn't found a reason as to why. At first the shopping was awkward getting grilled by all three of them. But once they were satisfied that nothing sexual was involved in our exchanges and we didn't know each other prior to today, they calmed down. It was the closest Tori and I had come to friends and fun in a while as well. Swopping stories and picking out cute outfits was fun but I just couldn't shake the feeling that he wanted something else. What could he possibly want from a harpy?

"Hello? Olympus to Talley. Are you coming or not?" Tori had been waving her hands in front of my face. "I am in desperate need of a shower. As Tylerion oh so subtly reminded us." She added pulling me out of the building and into the one across the street. When we got inside we headed to the elevator but was stopped by a seriously snooty looking desk man.

"Umm, excuse me? Are you two lost? I have been here all day and haven't seen you check in. Can I see your key card?" He said in a rather rude tone. It irritated but I understood. I mean we do have to earn or steal everything. That doesn't mean I have to like it though. I walked over to the desk with Tori on my heels. Without a word I shoved the key card at him.

"Well, well. What do we have here? You stole the wrong key card today missy. This belongs to one of our most prestige customers. I am going to insist you leave. Right now!" The nasty attitude in his voice irritated me.

"Oh I'm not going anywhere. We didn't steal it we earned it." I scoffed at his ignorance.

"Oh really?" He eyes me and raised an eyebrow. "I highly doubt that. What could you possibly do for the leader of the Beautiful Sins? Fine stay if you want but I have his number on file and I'm going to have to give Mr. Tylerion Sin a call. I doubt you will want to be standing here when he arrives." He said obnoxiously.

My eyes grew in disbelief. Is he serious or is he trying to bluff me. I didn't want him bothering Tylerion but I did want to go to that club, and I needed a shower. So I squared my shoulders and put on my best poker face.

"Call him then. I don't think your going to like the response he gives you." I said as if Tylerion and I were best friends. Tori just eyed me unsure of what to do or say. I thought it was fine for a second. Until he typed something in the computer and picked up the phone.

"Okay." He said then turned his back to us.

***Phone Conversation***

Tylerion pulled his ringing phone out of his packet and checked the caller ID. Lotus Hotel was printed on the screen. His picked up it's rhythm slightly and he answered immediately. "Talesha what happened? How did you get my number?" he asked slightly concerned.

"Umm, hello Mr. Sin. This is Damien at the front desk of the Lotus Hotel." some guy answered.

Tylerion began getting annoyed. "Yeah and what is it?"

"I'm so sorry to bother you sir but I have two harpies in my lobby. I believe your key card was stolen by them." He said seeming a little nervous. "Would you like me to hold them until you arrive or should I just throw them out?"

Now Tylerion was livid. "Let me get this straight. You mean to tell me you believe two harpies stole a key card from the leader of the Beautiful Sins. Don't expect me to believe you don't know who I am from your database. That is how you aquired my name and number. Yes?"

The guy began to stammer, "Yes sir I know who you are. I just didn't believe two dirty smelly harpies had earned it is all. I am so sorry. I should have listened to the girl I..." He was cut off short.

"Shut up. She told you she knew me and earned the card but because she is a in your words dirty smelly harpy, you didn't believe her? You decided somehow she had managed to steal it from me then made up a story when questioned." Tylerion was telling this. "Are you ignorant or just don't like harpies?"

Damien began apologizing, "Sir this kind of thing happens all the time with harpies and I am just...." again he was cut off.

"Don't give me that crap. I got a room with two queen sized beds and ordered two of everything from room service. What? You didn't think it could possibly have been for the two harpies standing right there in front of you? I want to speak with your manager. Now!" Tylerions blood was boiling and you could hear the power in his voice.

Damien gulped dryly, "I am the manager, sir."

"Oh you have got to be kidding me. I can't take this." Tylerion laughed humorlessly. "Okay Mr. what did you say your name was? Oh yeah, Damien. I'm going to say this nice and slow so you can wrap your thick dense skull around it." He said menacingly. "I want you to get off the phone and apologize for wasting their time and mine. Return my key card to them and inform them they are to call you if they need anything. I don't care if that means running their bath for them. Do you understand me?"

"Yes sir." was Damien's only response.

"Inform them they aren't a week instead of the night and bill my car that you have on file. Then write down my number for them and tell them it's in case I need to come up there and have a talk with you in person." Tylerion said on an added note, "Also apologize for calling them dirty and smelly and making yourself and hotel look like garbage. they will be joining me shortly and I will ask." Then quick and nothing but that are. He had hung up in Damiens face.

***Back in the lobby***

The manager Damien turn back around and picked up a pen and a piece of paper. He wrote something down. Double checked it on the screen and slid it across the counter. Looking like a scolded child he began his prompted apologies. Talesha held up her hand and pointed to her ear. Harpies were known for having a keen sense of hearing among other things.

"We heard everything Mr. manager. we got it but like he said thanks for wasting our time." Talesha laughed. As the pair begin to walk away she flipped him off and Tori stuck her tongue out at him. Feeling victorious they made their way to the room. Once inside Tori squealed and jumped on the bed.

"Omg Talley, Tylerion is like the nicest guy ever. This is amazing and look at all this food." Tori giggled.

"Omg Tori, get your filthy butt off the bed." I said mocking my little sister. I saw a door standing open and walk through it to find another room and a bed. I called back to Tori, "He want something I'm just not sure what yet."

playground from the other room. "Maybe not Talley. He hasn't asked for anything but our company really. do you have a bathroom in there?" She asked. I scanned the room and saw another door. I walked over and opened it. I'm not going to lie I was a little impressed.

"More like my own personal day spa." I snorted.

"We have our own bathrooms. thank the gods! okay, I say we grab some of this yummy food, then jump in the shower and meet up with Tylerion." She was practically humming.

"Good idea." I agreed Macon and added note to myself to call him and let him know it might take us a little longer than expected. I walked back over to 20 side of their sweet and grab the donut, couple of chocolate chip muffins oh, and a canned drink. "Hurry up will ya." I said walking back to my side.

"yeah, yeah." was her response as I shut the door. I pulled out my cell and Tylerions number. Then I saw the room phone and often to use it instead. I dialed the number and they can chewing my bottom lip while listening to the other end ring.

"What not." He barked into the phone.

"Whoa. I'm not sure if that bite is meant for me, there big boy." I snickered.

"Oh! Hey, sorry I thought it was that incompetent manager again. I didn't mean for you to have to deal with all of that. What's up." He said sounding a bit happier than the previous conversation I had overheard him have earlier.

"It's okay I'm used to it honestly. I just wanted to say thanks again and tell you it will be a bit before we make it. We are going to unpack since we get to stay a week. Then freshen up and before heading your way." I listened for his response.

"That's cool. Take your time and get comfortable. I will be here most of the night anyway." He said sounding bored.

"Okay, thanks again." I said.

"Please stop thanking me. We can talk more when you get here. Go do your thing." He yawned.

"Umm, Okay. I guess bye." I said doubting he was that bored at club Palace.

"Bye." He hung up. I placed the phone back on the receiver and sluggishly started a bath and a huge garden tubs. This is going to feel so good. I unpacked while it filled up. I picked out a bright pink tube top and a blue jean mini skirt, that was extra mini and shredded over the pockets. I grabbed the cute dangling faux diamond necklace and matching earrings. The necklace would draw plenty of attention right where I wanted it to. To top off my outfit I grabbed the black stiletto heels and placed everything in the bathroom. Tori knocked on my door.

"Hey sis, these just came for us. Open up you'll need it." She sounded excited. I groaned and marched over ready to scream.

"This better be good cuz my bath is almost ready." I complained opening the door.

capitalize she shoved the basket into my hands, "Without these a bath does no good. Read the card jerk. I got one too but it didn't have a card and mine's blue." She turned and flipped me off. "You're welcome stinky."

I slam the door back and carried the bath basket back into the bathroom. First I saw that everything was pink and mixed berry scented. Then noticed it had everything I needed. Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, deodorant, perfume, eyeliner, mascara, lotion, lip gloss, and a sponge. Finally I looked at the note. It read:

Thanks for the girl day.

I realized you still needed

some stuff so I charged

Tylerions card and had the

rude manager walk up the

stairs to bring them up. Now

you can hurry up!

I laughed out loud and put everything up and its rightful places, on the tub and on the counter. Then I stripped down and climbed into the steaming bath. I watched as the filth pulled away from my body leaving my natural rainbow diamond–glittering skin. Luckily puppies don't have to shave so this wouldn't take too long. I let my hair down from my messy bun and decided to wash it and my body twice. I absolutely intend on getting hit on the moment I walked through the doors of that club. I submerge my head and went to work scrubbing. I wasn't sure exactly what was in store for me once I got there but I was hoping tonight would be fun.
