Hello, stranger reader! This is my first ever story submission, so please take that into consideration as you read and/or write any comments.

Should any of you have any comments, opinions, or violent reactions that requires immediate attention, let me know through my profile. Aside from that, enjoy!

It took a long while, but, after the long flight and the longer boat ride, Flora de Lyse finally arrived to the advertised "paradise on earth".
Off the ferry, expanding her lungs with the salty sea air, and walking on her bare soles as she holds her heels away from the lumber, Flora's straight light mocha shoulder-length hair flows with the windy current as her mirrored and polarized cat's eye shades protects her eyes from the sun's blaze. Her matching light blue blazer and trouser combo was out of place; however, she did come from the airport. The smile that grew from her lips reached its maximum potential as she's greeted by a smooth man's voice
"Good morning! The Hyacinth Hideaway is glad to have your company. Do you wish to check in or wait for your company to follow?" a bearded man with a deep and raspy voice and a name plate that that says Michael speaks out to Flora as he awaits her answer, showing a service smile that's just as practiced as his opening line.
"I'd like to check in please" the short and petite asian brunette answers, putting her bag and heels on the counter as she brings herself to start her vacation "Reservation under Flora de Lyse" stating her name, giving the man enough information as his fingers flies through the keyboard at his side of the counter.
After clicking a few buttons in rapid succession, Michael opens a drawer, makes the computer produce a beeping sound, and compiles a few papers for the guest. "Ms. de Lyse..." placing the key on the plane in between himself and her "...You have room number one-five-two-seven on the fifteenth floor" announcing her place of resident during her time within the confines of the resort.
"Here's your voucher for your welcome cocktail that you can avail of at anytime during your stay..." placing a small perforated ticket by the side of the key "...here are the pamphlets for the three boutiques that the resort are proud of - Eden's Den, Abyss, and Top Shelf..." splaying out three differently designed papers for each of the rooms "...and there'll be a luau later today that everyone's invited to" landing one last paper for Flora to gather.
"Before you head off to enjoy yourself, I'll need you to pick the color of your garter, Miss de Lyse" producing five garters of different color "These signify your personal availability, so you may be approached with proper decency" he continues to explains.
"Ruby means that you invite anyone to approach you. Emerald signifies that you're eyeing someone else. Amethyst warns that you have a partner with you. Sapphire marks only casual conversation. Then Pearl announces that you're not to be disturbed." finishing the demarkations of each piece of textile "You're to wear them on your person at all times. All of the staff members has a supply of garters with them, so you're free to switch the colors at your pleasure. Your room also has an ample supply too" finishing his quick announcement, leaving the space for Flora to decide.
Still feeling the shakes in her legs, Flora decides on the blue barter and wraps it around her wrist like a bracelet "I'll take this" sounding off her decision.
"Very well, Miss de Lyse" retrieving then hiding the other four options.
"Lastly, your baggage will be brought straight to your room as well. If there's anything else I can get for you, please do tell me, Miss de Lyse. Aside from that, I recommend that you avail your cocktail by the pool" ending his line, waiting for Flora to either take her leave or tell him to do something else.
Getting then pocketing her key card, voucher, and pamphlets, she slants down her glasses just a bit with the tip of her right index finger "Thank you, Mike" winking as she says his name, showing him that she fancies him even in the slightest bit before returning them to their proper positions "Please bring this to my room as well" keeping her bag and heels atop the counter after reaching in for her phone "I'll be up in an hour" sending a subtle hint that she wants him to personally deliver her belonging later. "Thank you again, Mike" smiling with a smirk before pulling herself away from the counter, heading into the resort proper for the drink that she's owed.
