As Amanda entered the elevator to go up to her room, she felt her high heel slip between the lobby floor and the elevator. It sent her tumbling to the floor. Steve put himself between the elevator doors to stop them from closing and helped Amanda to her feet.
"Are you alright?" Steve asked.
"I think I twisted my ankle," said Amanda, "I'm not sure I can walk."
"Here, let me help you."
"I feel like such a klutz."
"It was a pretty wide gap your heel went into. I'll speak to someone with the hotel about it."
Amanda tried to take a step but was unable to put any weight on the foot. She leaned against the railing in the elevator and her head was spinning. "I feel kind of woozy. I think maybe I drank more than I realized at dinner," she said.
"It's no wonder. You eat like a rabbit. You have to get some real food down you sometimes," Steve replied, "Come on, lean on my shoulder, I'll help you."
Amanda didn't argue. When the elevator arrived at her floor, Steve put his arm around her waist and helped her down the hallway. Amanda's room was quite a ways down the hall. She liked to book her hotel rooms as far away from the elevator as she could so that the noise at night wouldn't keep her awake.
When they were about half-way down the hall, Amanda leaned against the wall and said, "I'm not sure I can go much further. It's really tender."
"Here," Steve said as he scooped Amanda up in his arms. "I'll just carry you the rest of the way."
"Oh!" Amanda exclaimed. "Put me down!"
"You're fine. It isn't that far."
"You're going to hurt your back."
"Please, I've carried grocery bags heavier than you."
Amanda slapped at Steve's arm, "Asshole."
Steve laughed and continued on down the hall. Amanda had her arms around Steve's neck and she caught the scent of his smell. As it filled her nostrils she felt a slight tingle deep inside her. She laid her head on his chest, closed her eyes and breathed in deeply. Something about his smell definitely set off a few fireworks inside her.
When they arrived at her door, Steve set her down, took her key and unlocked the door. He picked her back up and took her over the threshold. The door shut behind them as he set her on the bed. Steve propped two pillows up and then swiveled her feet onto the bed.
"Let me take a look at that ankle." Steve undid the strap on her high heel shoe and carefully removed it. "It's starting to swell, I'll go get some ice," he said.
"I'm sure it will be fine," Amanda replied.
"It won't take but a minute to get some," Steve said. He grabbed the ice bucket and headed out the door.
Amanda laid back and closed her eyes. Steve was such a gentleman, always had been. Her head was spinning and she wished she hadn't had that last glass of wine. She and Steve had managed to close the deal on a big contract for their company. Her commission check this month was going to be really nice. She considered herself lucky to have a great co-worker such as Steve. They were on the road together at least 20 weeks out of the year so it was good to know that someone would look out for her.
When Steve returned with the ice, Amanda had dozed off. He got a towel and filled it with ice and gently sat on the bed. When he laid the ice on her ankle, Amanda startled awake "Oh! You scared the shit out of me!"
"I'm sorry, Amanda. I tried not to wake you. How is your ankle feeling?"
"It's still throbbing a little bit, but it feels much better. Thank you."
Steve took off Amanda's other shoe while he held the ice pack on her swollen ankle.
