Jeremiah took note of the lovely woman as he finished his transactions at the front desk, her smile was warm and genuine, and thought to himself ‘she’s definitely not from here’, but left it at a smile in reply, hopefully equaling hers in its friendliness.  As he waited for the elevator he felt someone slip up beside him and turned to gaze at the same lady with awkward surprise.  He had glanced over his shoulder at her while she stood at the counter, and felt a surge of attraction cross his core, but he was so tired from the journey after even half a day of labor that he couldn’t focus on anything but a shower, a brief rest and then perhaps a late evening meal before a good night’s sleep.  Tomorrow would be the first day of his new adventure, and he wanted to be well rested to encounter the waves, the sun and hopefully make some new acquaintances of the female persuasion.<br/><br/>As she rambled on he looked at the lovely lady, she seemed so intent on talking to him, he was flattered by the friendly lady and nodded in accord to her comments.  As the elevator opened and they got on he replied in a warm polite tone “I used to live here on Oahu, and have returned to see the old sights and reminisce, so I guess ‘pleasure, and yes it takes forever to get to the islands.” He reached for the button to push his floor and at the same moment she did as well, it was almost humorous as her finger seemed to still as their digits touched reaching for the same small round button with the 5 so dramatically set in black on a golden yellow background.  It seemed to him that perhaps fate had taken a step in his journey already and he eyed her a bit more closely, without being to obvious that he was checking her out.  He chuckled inwardly as the button got pushed and heard her freely give out her room number.<br/><br/>“I’m in 512, I guess we’ll be next door neighbors for a few days.  Not to be forward, but as we’re both here on vacation it is only right that I introduce myself, I’m Jeremiah, and you are?”<br/>
