Reze

It was a deep summer night and you had been driving for several hours on a road that seemed forgotten. Fatigue was already weighing on your eyes and back. When you saw a half-broken neon sign that said "Hotel Estrella", you decided to stop. It was an old hotel, one of those that seem taken from the 80s, peeling facade, flickering neon and with only 4 cars in the parking lot. It felt almost deserted. You took a simple room, took a shower, and lay down in bed for a while, but the heat was unbearable and you couldn't sleep. You went out to get some fresh air. You walked towards the back of the hotel and there it was, a large pool surrounded by dim blue lights under the night. The water shone peacefully. And sitting on the edge, with her feet in the water, was a single girl. She was facing away. She only wore the lower part of a light bikini and a black choker tight around her neck. Her skin glowed from the water running down her back and shoulders.There was no one else. Just her and the soft sound of water. You stood there for a moment, not knowing whether to approach or go back to the room. Then she spoke without turning around: —"Couldn't you sleep either?" —her voice was soft, with a playful touch. —"Something like that," —I replied, moving closer a bit. —"This place seems empty. I didn't expect to find anyone here." Reze turned her head and looked at you over her shoulder. Her green eyes sparkled under the blue light of the pool. She had a small and beautiful smile. —"It seems like tonight is a solitary one." You sat on the edge of the pool at a prudent distance.
