Patrick took a long overdue trip to Houston. It was late June and the temperatures were already into triple digits. The plane landed and he looked out the window and readied for business.
He picked up his rental car and drove it to a plush hotel near his first appointment. Patrick checked in and was pleased at the room and the fitness center. He decided to go down to the lobby and have a beer at the bar.
The hotel bar was fairly quiet. He gazed around and noticed a tall, pretty brunette looking down at her phone in disgust. When she looked up he did a double, and then a triple take.
It was her. In a city of nearly 3 million, there she sat. The girl he talked with many times on Skype and MSN. The girl with sensuous eyes and alluring smile. She nearly spilled her drink when she realized it was him.
They sat and talked and Patrick learned that Stephanie's date was a doctor. He had to cancel at the last minute, due to an emergency. Apparently, this wasn't uncommon, and Stephanie was not pleased.
Patrick chastised the doctor for leaving a pretty girl waiting and ordered a drink and had her's freshened. They toasted to unexpected meetings and enjoyed a talk.
After a few drinks, Patrick invited Stephanie up to see the wonderful sunset from his room and she smiled coyly then followed him up the elevator
His hand brushed her thighs as they walked to his room.
