"I'm not trying to trap you, Bobbl. There's no right or
wrong answer here. I'm genuinely asking you what
you think I should do. Should I press charges?"
"No," Bobbi replied right on top of my question.
"Why not? You're a criminal and you owe me a lot of
money."
"I said I was sorry! What more do you want from me?"
I didn't know. She was so beautiful. I wanted to tell her
that there were some ways she could pay me back or
work off her debt, but I didn't want to sound like a
character in a cheesy porn.
"I don't know. I think I might have Roderick send the
rest of this stuff up to my room and just head up there
for the rest of the evening. My lawyer says that since I
have proof, I should press charges. Maybe I'll revisit the
options with them tomorrow."
"You're not going to try to fuck me?"
It was my turn to be caught off guard by her. "Fuck
you?"
"Why else would you have me come here dressed up
for you?"
It was a good question, and to be honest, she was
right, there was definitely some part of me hoping that
this would turn out a certain way.
"You want the truth?" I asked.
Bobbi shrugged, looking at me sullenly.
"Part of me wants to hate-fuck the shit out of you," I
admitted. "But there's no way that's happening."
"Why not?"
Was she being serious right now?
"Go home, Bobbi," I said and wiped my mouth on my
napkin.
"Seriously! Why the fuck did you bring me out here if
you were just going to have me arrested? Are you
telling me there's nothing you want from me?"
"You want me to fuck you?" I asked.
"God no," Bobbi replied a little too disgustedly for my
taste.
"Then what's the issue?"
"Will fucking you tonight keep you from pressing
charges?"
This was a turn I hadn't expected. I'd come here with
some sort of fantasy of making her fuck me, and then
deciding I wasn't up for it. I hadn't expected her to offer
to fuck me. Was that what she was doing?
"I don't know. Maybe."
Maybe if she was really damn good in bed.
"I guess it would depend on how good you were," I
said.
"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" She had the
gall to look genuinely offended.
"It means that if your ability to fuck is on par with your
ability to be socially aware or empathize with people,
then you're probaby pretty bad at it."
"-"
"I'm done with this conversation," I said, cutting her off.
"I'm going to my room."
And without waiting from another reply from Bobbi, I
gathered my phone to leave. As I made my way
toward the door, she screamed at me.
"Don't you fucking dare walk away from me, Marcus!"
When I didn't even slow down or look back at her, I
heard her scream and then heard the shattering of
several plates. Fuck, the staff was going to need to be
well compensated for that.
I ran into Roderick just on the other side of the door. It
looked like he was rushing to get to our private room. I
pulled out some of the 100 dollar bills Helen had given
me and stuffed them in his hands. "I'm so sorry,
Roderick. This is for the mess. Just wait till she's gone
and then take care of it. Let me know if you need more
than this. Oh, and the wagyu beef tenderloin looked
good. Could you send it up to my room?"
Roderick looked a little worried, but then nodded. He
glanced down at the bills in his hand and the tension
seemed to ease out of his shoulders. "Alright Mr. Upton.
Thank you, and I'll have it taken care of."
I immediately left the private room behind, headed to
the front desk of the lobby, and picked up my key to
the room. During the elevator ride to the top, I tried
sorting through my mixed feelings. I was disappointed
in myself that I hadn't gone through with it. For Christ's
sake, she'd even mentioned sex!
Part of me felt good about my decision. It didn't matter
how horrible Bobbi was, she didn't deserve to be forced
into sex against her will. No one deserved that.
Something about the way I'd treated her this afternoon
hadn't set well with me, nor how Helen had acted after
Bobbi left, and deep down, I felt a little bit of relief that
I'd proved I was still a decent human being. By the
time I got to my hotel room, I'd come to the realization
that Bobbi was either going to find some way to skip
town, or she would end up going to prison. Whatever
fantasies I had in my head would remain there... I'd
never get to fulfill those things in real life.
The room itself was massive, with a full king-sized bed,
sliding glass doors opening to a large patio, and a
bathroom with a large claw tub that could easily fit two
people. The man at the front desk had informed me
that I'd reserved the honeymoon suite for the next two
weeks, and that he hoped I enjoyed my stay while in
New York. A large bouquet of roses was in a vase on a
full dining table with a card that also wished me a
pleasant stay.
I stripped off the jacket of my suit and sighed, suddenly
feeling alone and a little disgusted at myself. At least
the bath looked inviting.
Just as I finished removing all my clothes, there was a
knock on the door. I sighed, picked up the road draped
on the bed and slipped it on. I cinched the belt tight as I
made my way over to the door to get Roderick's
delivery.
"That was quick," I said as I opened the door.
Standing in the doorway was Bobbi. She was looking
up at me with those big grey eyes, tears streaming
down her cheeks and causing her mascara to run.
"Can I come in," she asked with a light quiver in her
voice.
I simply stared down at her in complete silence and
hoped she couldn't see the shock I was feeling. After a
moment of recovery, I stepped aside and held the door
open. Head hung low, Bobbi walked inside, and I shut
the door behind her.
