I hope you enjoy this quick tale. And if you have a short story of your own, or wish to become a host yourself, please reach out: bnbtales@gmail.com

The story begins with the host fixing his car in the garage, the young girl playing with tools and the wife approaches bringing snacks for everyone and says "You two have been working so hard. I brought some snacks.".
The girl claps and says "Uhuuuuu" as the couple smiles.
The host then says "Our guest should arrive at any moment now. Or has he arrived yet?".
The wife says "Not yet, I don't think so."

Scene from bright day blue skies to starry night.

The host family is in the kitchen eating dinner and the little girl is making a mess. The host says "It is getting late. Maybe the guest's flight was delayed and he will arrive late.".
The wife is eating and only nods her head yes.

The hosts are washing the dishes and the little girl is running around in circles while jumping and whistling.
The hosts look at each other and the wife says "Lots of energy. Looking good for a nice night of sleep.".
The husband just nods his head yes.

Scene of starry night sky to sunny blue skies.

The hosts are in bed and the little girl comes and jumps into the bed and says "Good morning mom and dad. It is the weekend! Are you the happy?"
The hosts nod their heads yes and all 3 family hug.

The host is now drinking tea and reading newspaper as he a phone message notification then picks up his phone up. Big phone screen shows up with text (voice by young woman) "Hello. I think someone is trying to open my door."
The host walks toward the door and opens it to find a young man trying to open the shed and says "Hello. May I help you?".
The guest answers "Yes, please. I am the new guest but I can not find my private entrance."
The host responds "But your bedroom is here in our home. The private entrance is for another unit, and it is occupied."
The guest now walking toward the host says "Really? Okay."
The host says "Welcome. I hope you have a wonderful stay. We were expecting you yesterday though. What happened?"
The guest answers as the host looks surprised "Yes, but I could not find it. I went somewhere else. It is ok. Don't worry."
The host says "I am glad you are here now. Please let me know if you need anything."
The guest says "Thank you. By the way, I would like to do laundry now. Where is it?" as he walks in.
The host says "Sure, no problem. But don't you want to go to your bedroom first? Maybe shower? Anyway, it's up to you."

The host and guest are now in the laundry room and the guest is holding 2 shirts.
The host says "You can out all your clothes there and use the soap pods we have for guests."
The guest says "This is all I have to wash." as he shows the 2 shirts.
The host looks very surprised but says "Oh kay".

Big clock shows up on the screen tic toc a couple of hours.

The family host is cooking as the guest walks in with a frozen package and says "May I please use the microwave?"
The wife responds "Yes, of course. Please make sure to use the plate cover to avoid spills." while the guest is already putting in the microwave.
Microwave counts down 20 to 0 and beeps ready. The guest opens it and sees a big mess like a food explosion inside the microwave and says "Oops, I forgot to cover."
The hosts both look upset then close their eyes and look down.

Scene from starry night sky to sunny blue sky.

The family is having breakfast as the guest walks in and says "Good morning. I wanted to tell you I will checkout now."
The hosts look super surprised and the husband says "I thought you had booked for a whole week. Did something happen? Something wrong with the bed?"
The guest answers "No, bed is great. I don't think I am prepared to be in a shared home."
The host says "I see. I am sorry to hear that."
The guest says "Okay bye bye" and walks away.
The hosts look at each other and the wife says "That was weird. You would think you have seen it all."
The husband says "Yeah, I think he thought it was a private apartment when he booked the private bedroom."
