TO BE OR NOT TO BE – PART 2

***
As the day progressed that feeling got better and better. Throughout the day, I had gentlemen opening doors for me, acknowledging the fact that I was looking very ladylike. There was a couple of times when I swear the guy was trying to pick me up. I'll admit I was flirtatious but isn't that how girls act when they meet a cute guy? I told them I was just visiting and aunt and uncle were picking me up any minute now. With all the attention I was getting, I was lucky to find some suitable props for the play.
On my way back to the room, I peeked in the theater to see how the boys were doing. They didn't see me because they were busy building a wall. It looked like they would be there for a while, so I didn't have to be in such a rush to get back. I stopped at the deli on the corner and got a corned beef on rye, some potato salad, and a bottle of white wine. My shopping had netted five bags worth of goodies, adding the bag from the deli made my load clumsy to carry. As I approached the hotel entrance, I noticed a tall, young Latin boy in a bellhop uniform. He opened the heavy metal and glass front door for me and asked if he could help me with the bags. I said, "Please and thank you." He took all the bags except for the deli bag, which he said I should carry so it doesn't look like he is doing all the work and smiled.
"Oh, he's a cutie, " I told myself as my mind started developing nasty thoughts.
"First time in New York?" He asked.
"Yes, yes it is", I said.
"Are you just sightseeing or here for business?"
"I am here with an acting troupe, we're putting on a play starting next week."
"Really, what part do you play?"
"I'm not an actor, I'm the stage manager," I said trying to sound important.
"Is it a difficult job?"
"It has its moments," I replied.
By now we had reached my door. I opened it, he followed me in, and laid the bags on the bed. I reached into my purse for a tip and he held up his hand.
"No need for that. I would do it for any lady, free of charge. It's the right thing to do. If you want to reward me, tell me your name."
