The Truth

Lori looked for her. Kinsley watched as Lori looked for her from the stage and she even got a small wave from her when she figured out where she was sitting. They didn't go backstage, instead they left the venue, stopping at the slot machines for a little bit and then they went upstairs to the hotel part of the casino. 

It was morning now, and Kinsley hadn't heard from Lori and she was eating her breakfast yogurt alone in the hotel room, Kitty having gone with Jake to the falls when her phone dinged with an unknown number. 

Hey Kinsley, it's Lori...Wanna meet at the Hard Rock Cafe at 2:30?

Kinsley looked at it for a while and then she looked at the time. It was a quarter to eleven and she cocked her head to the side. 

Kitty and Jake took the car 

Lori responded back almost immediately.

I'll hire a car and come get you. Where are you staying?

We're at the casino...we got like the last room and we paid like four hundred bucks for it.

What's your room number?

349????

It took about ten minutes before she heard a soft but timid knock on the door to her hotel room. She cocked her eyebrow again and she went towards the door. Looking through the peephole she saw a redhead and a brunette standing there. Her eyes bulged out of her head and she opened the door to them. She was still in her pajamas and her blonde waves were in a dirty bun on the top of her head. 

"You told me not to tell Stevie, but I had to tell Sharon...and we're sharing a suite so..." Lori shrugged.

"It's nice to meet you. Sharon Celani." Sharon holds her hand out.

"Kinsley McCullough." She takes her hand. 

"Stevie was up early today. She wanted to go to lunch but I told her I wanted to eat at that burger place on the gaming level and she made a face. Lori said she might be able to talk you into it because you're staying at the hotel." Sharon looks at her.

"Oh I don't care where we go eat...I didn't even think I was going to get a text so." She shrugs.

"Perfect, can we come in?" Sharon asks.

"As long as you don't mind hanging out while I shower and get dressed." Kinsley sighs.

"Yeah we can hang out. If we go back to our floor Stevie's  going to start asking questions and pestering about going out for lunch. She wants to find a steak house. The woman literally just woke up, but she doesn't necessarily eat breakfast." Lori explains. 

Kinsley was a little weary as she grabbed the outfit she had laid out-just incase-because she didn't know if she wanted two strangers to just chill in her room. 

"Um, that bed is mine....I'll throw out the Blueberry Yogurt." She grabs the small little cup.

"Stevie likes Blueberry yogurt too." Lori points out. 

"Does she also like animal crackers?" She asks pointing to the bag on the TV stand. 

"She does." Sharon nods.

"Huh..." Kinsley states walking towards the bathroom. 

As soon as she shut the door and locked-just for good measure-she head Sharon. "Oh my god, she looks just like Stevie." 

Lori's said it, Kitty's said it, and now Sharon has said it so she looks in the mirror. She can see it so she just shakes her head and bites her lip before she gets into the shower. Before she walked back out into the hotel room, she re-examined her outfit in the mirror. She had pulled her hair back into a much neater bun than what she had it in while she slept and she was wearing a tight black teeshirt and a reddish-rust colored skirt with fringe on the bottom. She'd pair it with her black six-inch booties She smoothed the shirt that she had tucked into the skirt down and then she ventured out into the room.
