This is my first submission on here. I hope you like it. I am not sure if I am going to continue it on as a series or not. I am always open to constructive criticism.

Sunday night. The bane of Cayley Lane's existence.
She had been with the hotel for 3 years and always hated the slowness of Sunday nights. She would sit in the back room waiting for a guest to come in and entertain her, even for a short while. Even with a laptop to keep her company, nothing could replace the interactions with other human beings that she loved.
DING! DING!
The bell ripped Cayley out of her daydreaming and she rushed to the front desk in a hurry.
"Hello, welcome to the Backwoods Inn, What is the name on the reser..." Cayley stopped dead in her tracks when she looked up at the guest.
Right in front of her stood a man with rugged good looks and deep green eyes in a black pinstripe suit. He looked all business, except for the smirk that spread across his face when Cayley froze.
"Michael Lambridge." His voice was smooth and soft, a sweet seduction in itself.
Cayley shook her head away and looked at the arrivals list on her computer.
Lambridge, Michael. 2 days. Corporate rate.
She couldn't help but avoid eye contact as she checked him into the hotel. Even though she wanted to see him again, she felt compelled to keep him away. She chose room 330, the highest floor, farthest room away from the front desk. He didn't seem to mind the room location, and as quickly as he appeared, he was gone again. Cayley caught a quick glance at his back, and realized he hadn't brought a bag. She quickly dismissed it and tried to get back to trying to entertain herself.
That didn't last very long.
Before she knew it her thoughts were devoured by the face of the smirking guest and sexual thoughts raced through her. Her heart raced at the thoughts, and she could feel her thong becoming wet. She had had handsome guests before that she fantasized about, but none of them oozed dominance like this Mr. Lambridge.
The rest of the night went along smoothly, with only a few walk-ins. By the time the clock rang 11:50, she had all but fallen asleep. She quickly tallied up her drawer and did a quick In-House check.
Right as Taylor was walking through the door for
3rd shift, the phone rang.
Room 330.
"Front desk." Cayley quickly answered the phone.
"Hello. My air conditioner does not seem to be working. Can somebody come take a look at it?"
"Well, our maintenance guy is off today, I can have him fix it first thing in the morning."
"I need it fixed tonight." Cayley rolled her eyes. She had not pegged him for a trouble guest.
"I will have somebody come up as soon as possible."
"Make sure you do." The phone abruptly hung up and Cayley let out a sigh. It was 12:04 and she knew
Taylor would not go up to his room, even though he had less of a chance of being cut up like the black dahlia by some psycho guest.
"Taylor, can you please take care of a guest for me? I should be clocking out right now."
Taylor shook his head and said, "You picked up the phone, it's your responsibility."
Cayley let out a huge sigh. That's what she gets for working for a company full of lazy losers.
Cayley grabbed the a/c monitor and the front desk key and headed on up to room 330, fuming from head to toe.
She had wanted to get a couple drinks from the local bar before the 12:30 closing time, but that wasn't going to happen now.
She knocked twice on the door before saying "front desk". The door opened smoothly and there he was.
