there.
“Mister, I'll give you an extra twenty if you'll drive me to Caesars,” Tori said, trying to keep her purse on her shoulder while she handled her roll on, and carry-on bag.
“Like I said before, off duty,” he said still reading his paper.
“Hey, my man, I'll give you fifty if you can drive me home.”
Tori looked up when she heard that voice. Where did he come from? Oh no he's not. Asshole was trying to steal her cab.
“What the hell do you think you're doing,” Tori asked, putting her hands on her waist.
“I'm catching a cab home,” he said, looking at her before turning his attention back to the cab driver.
“Not this cab. Take your ass somewhere else, and get another cab. This is my cab,” She said, pointing to the car. “This man is going to take me to my hotel. So sorry for you,” she said, opening up the back door.
“Hey, I'm off duty,” the cab driver yelled.
“Not anymore. You're taking me to my hotel,” Tori said, placing her luggage in the car.
“Hey man, I still have that fifty if you'll take me home,” he said, getting in the front seat.
“You need to get out so he can take me to my hotel. I have to check in soon, or they'll give my room away,” Tori huffed.
“There's other hotels here. This is Vegas ,” he said, over his shoulder.
“Sir, if you could take me to Caesars Palace, I'll have the manager call the police when we get there, so they can escort this gentleman out of your cab.” Tori said, pointing to the Asshole.
“The police? Well, let me say this, if they escort me out of the cab, they'll be escorting you also. If I remember correctly he told you also he was off duty before you threw your luggage in his cab. So I guess we'll be sharing a cell,” he said, seeing her close her mouth close.
“I hate you, asshole,” Tori said, sitting back arms folded.
“Feeling is mutual,” he said, checking his cell phone.
She was dropped off first. She took out her luggage, before paying the driver. “Thank you,” she said to the driver. “Asshole,” she said to the passenger.
“Bye, Trick,” he shouted out the window as they drove off.
Trick! She stood there glaring at the cab. She had his trick. She bet he wouldn't have said that to her face.
She grabbed ahold of her roll on bag, stomping into the hotel.
She waited for the clerk at the front desk to finish with the man ahead on her.
She stepped forward smiling, “Hi. I'm checking in. My name is Tori Townsend,” Tori said, taking out her identification and credit card.
The woman smiled while she checked their computer. “I'm sorry, we don't have a Ms. Townsend in the computer to be checked in. Unfortunately we have a conference going on at this time and we have no rooms available,” She smiled, sympathetically.
Tori smiled back at her, “What do you mean you don't have a room for me? When my secretary made the reservation you had a room. Why don't you check your computer again?”
“It could be an error. Let me look again,” the clerk said, checking again.
“Please look again,” Tori said, looking around the lobby as she waited.
The clerk leaned forward, “I'm sorry. You're not in here.”
“Where am I supposed to go,” Tori hollered.
“I'm sorry, but with the conference most of the hotels are going to be full. The Motel 6 might have some rooms available,” The clerk said, shrugging her shoulders.
Tori shrugged her shoulders, mocking the clerk. She picked up her luggage, going out the door she just came in. She looked up and down the strip. There had to be a hotel with a room available.
Chapter 2
T ori was exhausted two hours later from trying to find a room. She went to every hotel in a five mile radius. She didn't know what kind of convention they were having, but everyone including their momma were here for it. She finally got in contact with her secretary, who sent Tori to the wrong hotel. She had reserved the room at another hotel. When Tori got to the right hotel, they had
