I was sitting with Carol in the Continental breakfast room of this medium grade motel. Everybody did the Continental breakfast nowadays, but nobody did it well. Carol was the night manager and had just gotten off work. We met once in a while to have coffee; at least the coffee was good.
Then I saw her as soon as she walked in. She was a little taller than he was and had that smoky, brown European/Italian face. She had round, full breasts pushing against the buttons of her white cotton blouse. But what caught my full, undivided attention was her butt. She had on one of those spandex, boy-short type of short shorts that fully displayed her perfect butt. It stuck out from her body like some famous sculptor had put it there, and her butt cheeks, well, let's just say that there was plenty of separation between them. A pair of perfectly proportioned legs reached all the way to the floor.
They both picked up their plastic plates and started through the food line. There wasn't much to offer, but, what the hell, it came with the room and many international travelers never thought twice about it. I watched them as they selected their pastries, orange juice, and coffee and found a table along one side of the room close to the windows.
"Ah, Carol, I see someone I need to talk to," I said. "If you'll excuse me. It was good to see you again. Go ahead and finish your coffee. And, oh, when I'm speaking to them and we happen to look over here, just smile and give a little wave. See you later."
With that I got up, dumped the rest of my coffee into the trash, and walked over to their table.
"Hi, there!" I greeted them. "I'm Wes. How're you guys doing? Is your room O.K.?"
They both looked up at me. I glanced at him then turned my attention to her.
"Ya. O.K." they said and I could tell that their understanding of English was better than their speaking.
"Well, that's good," I responded. "I'm Wes," I repeated. I looked at him, "And you're...?"
He looked at me as if he had no idea what I was talking about.
"What's your name?" I asked more directly.
"Oh, Andre," he answered.
I looked at her and smiled. "And what's your name, lovely lady?" I asked sweetly.
"Hello! I am Sonia!" she said.
"Well, hello, Andre and Sonia and welcome!" I exclaimed as I continued to look directly at her and leaned over on the table. "I've been authorized to perform a free room check for you. There's no charge and it will only take a short while."
"What is 'room check'?" Andre asked.
I answered without removing my gaze from her, "A room check makes sure that everything in your room is O.K. and there is no charge to you."
I shifted my look to him and continued, "By the way, Andre - it is Andre, right?" He nodded. "Those are really great earrings you are wearing and your necklace really stands out, too."
He looked a little flustered as I leaned over glaring down at him.
I looked back at her and went on, "I'm going to take Sonia with me to your room to perform the room check. You do have a key, don't you, Sonia?"
She replied, "No key."
I looked at him and ordered, "Give her the key, Andre. She has to have the key to get into the room. We need to get into the room to perform the room check."
I made it sound logical and that he had no choice. He fumbled around in his pants pocket for the key card.
"We do this regularly as a free service for our guests. Just yesterday I performed a free room check for that lady over there."
