Up and Coming
Chapter 11
I slipped on my dress shoes, and walked down the aisle of the bus, pausing to thank the driver, before heading down the stairs.
I was met at the bottom of the stairs by 4 security gaurds, who escorted me past the cameras and into the hotel that the Oilers were staying in.
I headed towards the front desk, and got my room key.
"Hey Jakie! What room are you in?" Mike asked me.
"Some room on the 50th floor." I replied.
"Oh. I'm on the 27th." He said.
I nodded, and headed for the elevator, where Drew Doughty was holding the door for me. I thanked him, and hit the button marked #50.
After the long ride to the top of the hotel, and parting with multiple teammates, I arrived at the 50th floor, and headed down the hallway to my suite.
I found it, and opened the door, walking inside. There was nobody in the room, but there were a couple of pink bags on the floor.
I had arranged with the Butlers back in LA that when we were on the road, Shay and Colette would get their own room, Shay's brother Logan would share a room with the two boys, and I would take a room with Avia and Emmi.
I flopped down on a bed and groaned, wanting to fall asleep right then, but I reminded myself that it wouldn't be healthy to skip dinner.
I headed down the hall, and knocked 2 doors down from my room. Colette answered.
"Hey! You're here! Have you eaten yet?" She asked me.
"Nope." I replied. "You?"
"No, we waited for you."
"Aww, thanks. Let's go get some dinner!" I said.
