So, last night I"m at the store making that tequilla cake and the tequilla balls for early am pick up today ( my day off and I'm here haha)
late at night I hear a tapping on the glass door, and since the lights are off in the hallway and I have the lights on inside, the glass acts like a mirror and I dont' see anyone...I shrug my shoulders and go back behind my pink curtain and I hear the tapping..this time a little louder and more insistant!
I come back to the door and in my MYOPIC stare I THINK I see someone waving to me. I'm like "WHO THE HECK CAN THAT BE AND WHAT TIME IS IT?" So, I go to the door...and see a UNIFORM..I"m thinking...OH GOD, it's Miami Police officers!!! WHO DIED??? was my first thought...I rip the door open and they start to grill me..
"Who are you? Are you the owner? How long are you planning to stay here? I was like...WTF..( excuse my FRENCH...lol) I wasn't afraid since the lady that has the Russian Restaurant was standing at her counter with a bunch of her people there.
So, I'm told that the Hotel has a new policy..no one allowed to stay after 10 pm, I'm like "whoa, after 6 I do my best work..lol"
SO, I nicely explain to the 2 security guards that I have the key to the gate and the front door and permission to stay as long as I need to, then they asked me if the Russian Lady had a key, I was like..dunno ask her...and when I leave, I always double check the door..you can exit the side door but you cannot enter, it's an emergency door type thing.
Well, they go on and on about my safety and I'm like..nodding like a good little baker and thinking...YEAH RIGHT>.I gotta do what I gotta do and now they have video cameras after they broke in the last big weekend of the summer....ha.
YEAH, all big and brave while everyone is in the hallways..but when it was time for me to leave...I start wondering...they DID mention something about MY safety...hummmmm!? I wonder if something happened???
That's all I needed for my imagination to run away with itself..( no one would go with it..haha) So I open my door, run across the hallway and turn on a small light...then I come back and lock my door...then I gauge where the emergency exit is..I flick off the light and run down the hall way and bust through the door!
I'm already as nervious as a cat ...
I start walking down the very dark side of the hotel and I hear..."step, step. step"...I start to tremble and all of a sudden I remember to be a good Catholic and start to pray..lol...
Someone is behind me??, should I try being all NEW YORK on them and look back and say something? HA..ok...was the consensus of all the goosebumps I had going on...I look behind me and there is nothing there!!! GULP! then I just keep looking all along the sidewalk and see that it goes on forever right down to the beach and it's darker than midnight..because ONCE again it's MIDNIGHT as I leave!!!...
THEEEEEEEEEN...my imagination decides on a return trip and starts to FREAK ME OUT...I start thinking..."Well..you know...they've killed people on the beach before...as a MATTER OF FACT...BIG UGLY MONSTERS HAVE RISSEN FROM THE WATERS AND EATEN people before...!!!!!! Bwaaaaaaaahhahahaha
( OH, please, get real...my brain shots to my imagination!!)
I take a big sigh and as I'm turning back to finish my lonely walk down a dark side walk...I hear rustling in the bushes that separate the walkway and the BIG , DARK park next door..
This time...ALL of my body parts decided to act in concert and the FEET didn't have to ask twice.......they started pumping and the rest of me followed in a semblance of a run!!
I burst out into the light and the NORMALICY of activity at any MAJOR tourist HOTEL on the beach and start to laugh my silly head off in relief!!!..the noise I heard was the air conditioners dropping the condensation onto the ground..and the rustling was the HOTEL CAT looking for handouts!
Proving YET again to the TOURIST trade that visits MIAMI...that FLORIDIANS are ..INDEED NUTS!
I'm sorry but I'm laughing like crazy right now. I feel bad for you because I think almost everyones had their imagination run wild on them before and when it happens to me I sweat buckets in like 2 seconds! At least you are fine and others are looking out for your safety too.
