she had was good and she didn’t mind waiting for the best. Going to fridge she pulled out a half full bottle of white wine, grabbed a wine glass and went back to the sofa. Pouring herself a good helping she tucked her legs under herself and snuggled on the sofa turning her head to the window once more. Familiar with this position Marvin circled the ground in front of the sofa a couple of times before dropping down with a sigh. Smiling again she took her first sip. He always makes it seem like he has had such a hard day.
    “You should have seen this man today, Marv?” she told the dog who raised his head to look at her as if he was listening, which she was sure he was. “You would have hated him too…trust me.”
    Why had he wound her up so much? Yeah he had been rude to the extreme but he had tried to apologise and she had cut him off. There was no way that she was just going to let him off for speaking to her like that just because he flashed a smile at her. Okay, so the smile could melt a million hearts but she had been too angry to let it affect her at all. When he had first walked through the door she had noticed him. To be honest there was no missing him. Although the hotel was not the most expensive place out there it still had a certain type of people that stayed there and none of them were like him. He walked through the door in jeans that she was certain had oil stains on them and a fitted black leather jacket. He was a big guy, at least 6.3 maybe more. His clothes fit him well and did nothing to hide the muscles underneath. There was no way they were just for show. His hair was messy and looked like his fingers had been run through it a lot but the chestnut brown colour was warm. Sure she had briefly wondered what it would be like to straighten it up for him…then messing it up again with her own fingers. And yes, she had wondered what he was wearing under that jacket…then under that. The mere fact that she was even thinking these things shocked her. It had been a long time; we are talking years, since she had been remotely interested in how the other sex looked or how they affected her. The fact that all this man had done was walk in the door and her eyes were glued to him was seriously unsettling.
    Then he reached Maddie’s reception desk, settled his brown eyes on her and opened his mouth. Then, with that, everything she had been wondering about left her head. Her mind tried to remind her of all the times she had been spoken to worse and more but she quickly took a sip and pushed that from her mind. Now was not the time to let that free. Maybe it was best she not think about the stranger that put her in this mood. It made her think of things that she had worked too hard at keeping locked up to let one rude idiot ruin.
    “It’s not like I am ever going to meet him again.” She informed her dog. “Tomorrow let’s do something fun Marv.”  
    The dogs tongue fell out of his mouth and gave a little pant.
    “I’ll take that as a ‘yes please, mummy!’” Maddie chucked to herself. “You hungry?”
    Now those words the white husky defiantly knew. Jumping to his feet he ran into the kitchen. So although she couldn’t see him she knew he would be stood in front of his food bowl waiting for it to be filled. Finally letting the man leave her head she followed her dog into the kitchen to feed him and then herself.

    Zipping up her burgundy hoody she then bent and pulled on her brown boots over skinny, worn, jeans. The weather was cool but clear. Although Marvin gets walked twice every day, once in the morning and again at night. There were days like today when she felt too restless to be stuck in the flat and needed to get out. Even if it was just to have the cool breeze blowing away some cobwebs. Of course Marvin never complained about getting an extra walk. Especially as it meant going to the park or for a long walk round the woodland area the other
