How Unexpected Part 2

The overkill on number of beds aside, Michael was incredibly nervous about having to share a room with Mia. He had been crushing on her ever since she joined his department last Spring. She looked nervous about having to share a room with him too, but he figured any woman would be when faced with having to share a room with a man she barely knew.

That intern in Finance, whose name he keeps forgetting, told him he should finally just ask Mia out for lunch or something. He was way too nervous for that, and not to mention the fact that she was definitely out of his league. No, he was content to just be her colleague, catching glimpses of her whenever she walked passed his desk.

This was pushing his nerves though. He had been told he would be joining her for the business trip as her fellow representative and he had nearly had an aneurism. It was an honour just to be put on one of these trips, but now he had to contend with going on a trip with the woman he liked. It was a bit hard to keep his cool.

The flight went by in silence and the taxi ride to the hotel was the same, but now here they stood in a hotel room they had to share. He had half expected some cliché like there only being one bed, which he would have died over, but four beds? 

She would be able to go the whole night without hearing him snoring if they took beds diagonal from each other, but somehow he did not see that being a comfort for the poor woman. "I'll take this one closer to the door, if that's okay?" he manages to force out.

He figured she might feel safer to be further from the door, just in case someone came in through the night. 

"Um, sure," she answers, moving towards the bed he thought would have been a good choice.

Her moves were sort of stiff and he had a sudden thought that maybe she would feel more comfortable near the door, being closer to the exit. She had not said anything, so he put his bag down on the bed nearest the door, almost as stiff as she had been.

This was going to be a long night.

A continuation of the last post, but there was no real prompt for this, I just did a POV swap and added some mutual pining for giggles. 

Also, I didn't post anything yesterday, so whoops. I'll try and get a second one out today to make up for it. It is currently almost 12:30pm here, so I have time.
