Simon waved goodbye to April and watched the cab slip off into the night before heading back inside.  All in all, it had been a good night.  One of ups and downs, but a good night nevertheless.  Tomorrow would be even better though and he was looking forward to enjoying everything April would offer up to him.  Clearing the table, he picked up the bill folder and opened it noticing the seventy-five dollars April had left as a tip.  Simon whistled, that was definately very generous of April and probably the biggest tip the restaurant had seen short of the occasional celebrity or bigshot.<br/><br/>Certainly it was the biggest tip he had ever received.  Tomorrow, Simon was going to work even harder to earn that extra gratuity.  Pocketing the tip, Simon went back to work waiting on the regular tables for the rest of his shift.  After he was done, he bid good night to Carmine and the others before heading to the local supermarket.  Still opened late-nights, Simon did some shopping, buying two new bottles of baby oil, a pastry brush, some wine, and other essential goods to bring to the hotel.<br/><br/>When he got home, Simon packed all of his purchases into a hefty duffel bag along with some other necessities.  Simon powered on the computer to surf the web.  He suspected though that April would probably be far too preoccupied with dealing with Chris to join him online and he logged off soon after.  He was going to need to get his sleep before the big day.<br/><br/>The following morning, Simon was already up early to beat the sun.  He was going to need to be earlier at the hotel to start prepping the room.  Simon performed his usual bathroom rituals, before putting on a buttoned-down shirt and dark-grey slacks.  Picking up the duffel bag, Simon locked the apartment behind him and headed out of the building to catch the early-morning bus which passed by the Marriott.  He entered the hotel at 8:30 and picked up the keys for the room which he registered under Valter & Emma.<br/><br/>Once he got to the room, Simon started to prepare the room.  First, he stripped the comforter and sheets off the bed leaving it bare before he pulled out rolls of plastic wrap to cover the bed before neatly tucking the sheets back over it.  Playing with oil was going to be messy and the sheets and the comforter were going to be toast anyway, but it wouldn't do to leave an oil-soaked mattress.  After placing the comforter and pillows back as they were originally, he puled out some fresh lilies which he left on top of the bed and unpacked the rest of the duffel, leaving the props hidden in various drawers.<br/><br/>Once it was done, Simon checked the time.  It was 9:30.  He had made excellent time so it was time to go down to wait for April.  Simon headed to the bar in the lobby and found a seat where he could see who was coming and going.  He ordered a club soda to be polite and waited.  Then he saw April walking in a sweater and jeans and Simon pictured her wearing the baby doll under the clothes.  After paying for his drink, Simon slipped out of the bar and sneaked up behind her before surprising her with a bear hug.  "Good morning, honey.  Miss me?"
