Jordan stepped aside for Andy to enter. He brushed past her and stood just inside and watched as she closed and locked the door. His eyes drifted slowly from her scrubbed face to the short, v-neck knit shirt clinging to the soft curve of her breast. Her pants were loose and hung low on her hips to her reveal her tanned, flat abdomen and a link chain made of silver, a small sapphire heart dangling about her bellybutton, adorning her tiny waist. Burgundy toes poured from the bottom of her pants with a silver, sapphire studded ring on the middle toe of her left foot. Andy's eyes slowly made the climb back up to meet Jordan's exasperated gaze. What right did he have to come to her hotel and check her out, she fumed. Suddenly she felt her cheeks turn crimson with heat from irritation and longing from his desire clouded stare. Damn this man she thought. He stared into her cobalt eyes, studying her intently. Jordan's breath caught in her throat and she pulled her gaze from his. She walked a few steps into the room before half turning back to ask, in a matter - of - fact tone. "How did you find me and how did you get past the front desk? Oh let me guess the attendant is a friend of yours right?" she asked sarcastically not really wanting a reply."What can I do for you Mr. Nichols?" He was still standing in the doorway watching her, his smile spelling seduction. "I came to see how you were doing and to get the clothes back from you and yes the front desk clerk is a friend. The room key in your bag gave me the hotel and room number." Turning away as anger seeped into her cheeks she spoke in a hushed tone. Well as you can see I am fine. The clothes are in the other room. Wait over there by the couch and I'll get them for you." She said using what she hoped was a controlled tone to hide her anger. The less the man knew about how to push her buttons the better. Andrew grinned seeing the conflicting emotions on her lovely face as she turned on her heel and walked to an adjoining room.
He made himself comfortable as he sat on the couch with its large pastel island flower print and soft cotton throw pillows in blue and pink. This was a rather large place he noted. Just in the doorway to the left was a closet concealing a stacked washer and dryer beyond that was the bathroom with a shower and toilet. A door led from the bathroom to another room with a vanity and Jacuzzi. Paneled double doors opened to reveal a queen size bed and a television cabinet. French doors opened up onto a balcony overlooking the beach. A kitchen was to the right of the entryway, which opened to a spacious living room that contained a couch, two chairs and another television cabinet. A second set of French doors opened onto yet another balcony overlooking the beach. Andy saw the Three Stooges marathon playing on the television and smiled to himself. The Three Stooges had provided him with hours of entertainment as he was growing up in Chicago. His thoughts turned to Jordan as she entered the room carrying the clothes on her arm.
