Misunderstood

Vanity walked along the futuristic walkway followed by all her friends. All of which were very excited to be spending time at the most luxurious place on the planet. Especially for Vanity. It was her home whenever she wanted of course because the owner promised it to her along with anything else she desired.

It's been awhile since she last spend her summer here. Of course last time ended pretty badly so she left abruptly.

She doesn't like to speak on it so most of her friends do not know. Only her two closest ones who come with her every year. They weren't with vanity at the time because they needed an extra day at work to get their check and have enough to come stay here. Usually Vanity's friends got a discount and Vanity got in for free but she hasn't been in years ever since the incident.

Vanity reluctantly walked up to the front desk to see nancy who she's known for years.

"Vanity! What a surprise. How long has it been?"

"Few years." she smiled shyly and was glad she had on sunglasses.

"well honey we are all glad to have you back. And i do mean all of us. " nancy put a lot of emphasis on all adding in the one person Vanity needed to hear it from.

"Um i was wondering if i was getting the same room as always because if so i want to change." Vanity spoke lowly.

The other girls at the desk turned to each other with looms of worry. It's not like there aren't enough rooms. There will always be more than enough.

Nancy looked beside her then back at Vanity. "Sweetie you know i'm not the one you should be asking that."

"Aren't you the room lady?" Vanity's friend Melanie asked with an attitude but she didn't know why it only applied to Vanity.

"Of course miss but this applies only to Vanity herself, she is one of the most Prestigious VIPs at this organization. I only handle ordinary customers but I do have all your room keys. Here Vanity."

Vanity took them and handed them to her friends who all asked her if she was okay.

"Girl I hope we don't have any problems with our rooms. Why can't you get another? And what's wrong with your old one. Don't you get a VIP luxury suite if you're a VIP?" All the girls looked at her questionably.

"Look it's a complicated. It looks like i'm gonna have to do what I don't wanna do to be able to get my way.."

"What's that sis."

"I have to talk to the boss himself." Vanity gritted her teeth regrettably.

Nancy apologized," Look im sorry. I would if I could honey but you know I have no authority when it comes to you. No one does really. Only-"

"Yeah i know." Vanity nodded her head and her friends again grew more curious as to what was going on.

It was just a hotel room to them but a whole set of drama for her. Not just Drama. A relationship. With Mr. King. He was the reason she lived so highly and was greatly taken care of. But it's been a few years since Vanity called it off. In her eyes it was all his fault and wants nothing to do with him but her friends begged her to bring them to the best place in the world to go for vacation. Of course without her they would be on a very long waiting list and have to pay a very high price. But with vanity the price is cut down nearly by 75 percent.

If it weren't for them she would have never come back. But now that she's here she has to deal with him. He knows she's here because she called ahead of time. Of course vanity did not speak to him directly but rather through an assistant out of her request.

Vanity wanted to make sure she was still able to come. Of course what they told her is that there will never be a time she cannot come. She knew it was him trying to get a chance to talk to her or see her or be in contact with her again. He has nonstop tried multiple ways to try and communicate with her. Each time, of course, vanity avoid it.

"Oh and by the way... " Nancy spoke looking worried but amused at the same time, "are you okay?"

This question caused Vanity to laugh and roll her eyes ," I can't even tell you how many times I've been asked that from people here. Yes im okay the hospital took great care of me. " Vanity smiled legitimately for the first time today.

Nancy smiled and chuckled glad that vanity was being herself again. She did until she saw something behind vanity that caused her to freeze, widen her eyes and bite her lip to keep from laughing. Vanity noticed and saw the reflection on the glass at the desk. Her breath caught in her throat and she immediately and quickly walked away. She knew eventually she would have to talk to him but she didn't think it would have happened so soon.

Before she could walk too far, her arm was pulled back by a large strong hand. Not too forcefully but just enough to keep her there.

"Uhm excuse me wh-" Melanie started to speak in an aggravated tone towards this man. Vanity spoke over her before she could say anything, "Uhm Melanie this is the owner of this entire vacation spot and an old... friend of mine. It's all good. I needed to speak to him anyway." she smiled at Melanie. Vanity had a genuine smile because she actually thought it was funny. Why? She doesn't know.

Melanie trusts her so of course she smiled back and told her ,"well okay but if you need anything I'm a call away alright?"

"Okay I'll find you later."

She turned towards him biting her lips fearing what's to come.

"Let's go somewhere more private sweetheart." he spoke with sweet authority. She rolled her eyes but followed him. Well she was actually being lead, he had a good grip on her wrist this time.
