The sun was out, the birds were singing. I had just awoken when I received an unexpected text. It was my boyfriend Rigo. The text read, â€Å"Be ready by 1 p.m. we’re going somewhere. No questions. It’s a surprise. (:† Where could we be going? He never planned surprises like this. What? Full of excitement, I hurried up to get ready for the time Rigo would be arriving. Once I had finished doing my makeup and fixing my hair I had to choose my outfit. My room was a mess, all the clothes all over the floor.

We got there and started walking, looking for hotels. After going to a billion hotels, we could not find any one that had rooms available. What would we do? We’d sleep outside?

However, where we stay? â€Å"Hey, let’s go see if any rooms are booked again.† I suggested. Rigo seriously responded, â€Å"I doubt any of them will be open tonight.

When we were walking toward the hotel office we saw a couple arguing in the parking lot. I slightly turned trying to see what was going on but not making it completely obvious. Rigo did the same. The couple kept arguing and we just left to toward the office. Out of nowhere, the lady who had been arguing called me and ran toward me. â€Å"Hey! Sorry if I’m interrupting you. I wanted to know why you are going to the office, are you looking for a room? Or?† â€Å"Yes we are. We came earlier and we didn’t have find any rooms open.
