Chapter 422 - Day MDCCCXLVIII
I woke up sandwiched between two girls. I could feel the firm brests belonging to Cloe pressed against my back. Samantha’s head was resting on my arm, so close to my chest that I could feel her breath tickling me gently.
I waited for quite a long time in such an uncomfortable position because I didn’t want to wake them up. Eventually, they did, and we exchanged early morning greetings. Cloe was no longer as embarrassed as she used to be, even when both me and Samantha walked naked around the room.
I took a shower, then dressed, and as I was about to call for room service, Cloe quickly escaped, to not be seen by her coworkers with me.
Escort and I ate the food, talking about last night. We couldn’t cherish this little moment for too long, as suddenly I was contacted by Will through the coin I gave him a while ago.
– Hey… I just got divorce papers handed to me. I’ll be traveling to Washington DC with agent Zander. I already talked with him. He said you two made some kind of deal. I just wanted to say… Sorry for what I did earlier, and thank you…
– I did what you would do in my place. No need to thank me.
[0)ᴠʟ Samantha looked at me over the table, frowning her eyebrows, as she couldn’t understand what was going on.
– I’m talking through a thing – I explained to her.
– A thing? – she asked.
– You are not alone? – asked Will. – Who is there with you?
– A hooker.
– Hey! I’m not a hooker. Who are you talking with, and what’s the damn thing?
– A hooker, seriously? – Will was clearly surprised, but also in a joyful mood, which I recognized in his voice.
– The thing is a coin I gave to Will a while ago. I can hear him in my head through it. And no, she is not a hooker, she is an escort.
My head started to hurt with all the stuff going on.
– Wow Peter, you really have fallen. You have to pay for love now?
– Shut up, Will. Go get your stupid divorce.
He laughed.
– You are weirder every day – said Samantha. – I swear…
– You just don’t know all my tricks – I winked at her.
– It’s enough that I know all your bed tricks – she replied and returned the wink.
We started bickering a bit and joking while finishing the food. I was expecting an update from Will at some point, but instead, somebody knocked on my door. I went to open it up. It was Wolf.
– Good morning – he started.
– Morning. What’s going on?
– I’m taking William to Washington. He said you already know everything. Aisha is going with Zander to visit her family. This means you will be alone for a while. I contacted higher-ups and they assigned Butler and Parker to this job, but they don’t want to be anywhere near you, so we instead came up with something different – he said and pulled a smartphone out of his pocket, and gave it to me. – They will pretend to be watching you, and you will promise me to not do anything crazy. If you need something, you can call. My number is already there. Ok?
– Ok.
He smiled.
– Good. Great… Have a nice day – and he walked off.
I shrugged my shoulders and closed the door.
– What was that about? – asked Samantha, while dressing herself up, as I entered the room.
– Nothing. Just that I’m free. No annoying agents anymore.
– Good. Does this mean you are going to leave this room finally?
– I think so. What about you, why are you dressing?
– As much as I would love to lay naked in the bed for a whole day, with a couple of breaks to fuck, I can’t. I have a life. Maybe not the greatest, but it still exists.
– So you are leaving?
– Yes. It was fun, and I would love to repeat this at some point, but now I have to go.
I nodded. I was really sad because the time spent with her weirdly made me feel kinda like I used to feel with Nadia around. It was somewhat different, obviously, but I didn’t have the urge to just go hunting at all.
– Here – I came closer, creating a coin in my hand, and gave it to her. – Take it.
– What’s this? – she asked, looking at it on her open palm.
– It’s a coin and a gift. You can contact me through it. If you are ever in trouble, just use it.
– How?
– I don’t know. Talk to it, or throw it. It doesn’t matter. What matters is I will know, and I’ll come to help.
– Ok… That’s so sweet – she said and came to kiss me on the cheek. – I had so much fun with you… Goodbye, Peter.
With that, she left. I followed her a bit and watched as she vanished on the stairs, leading below, to the lobby. Then I returned to the room. A bit later Aisha and Will paid me a visit. They were already packed and were both also departing.
Will asked me to go with him, but I said no. Why? I was unsure if I’ll be able to help, and won’t cause more trouble. I really hated Elaine for not wanting to give Will a second chance. She clearly had a different image of the man in her head than me.
It was kinda sad.
Aisha on the other hand wanted to go alone. I could understand that. I also wanted to be by myself when I went to visit my mother for the first time.
I spent the rest of the day in my room, calling for food to be delivered, and planning what I’m gonna do the next day since I was free. There was a whole city to be explored, and I had my means to travel without grabbing anybody’s attention.
I probably wouldn’t admit it back then, but I was kinda excited.
