When Joe woke up the next morning, he had to take a moment to orient himself as to where he was in the first place. It took him a few minutes to remember last night. The arrangement, Tess, and the sex.
Confused, however, he realized he was alone in the room. He was about to get up when the only other door left in the room besides the one they had come through yesterday opened.
Tess stepped out. Fully dressed, makeup on, and her hair tied in a high braid. She wore sneakers, white cargo pants and a black crop shirt. A tote bag hung over her shoulder and sunglasses were tucked into her hair.
Her eyes roamed over the bed and faltered when she saw Joe was awake. "Oh, hey, good morning, did I wake you?" she asked, grinning. Joe shook his head.
"OK, good. I'm afraid I have to get going, but feel free to stick around. Make yourself comfortable. Make yourself some breakfast in the kitchen, have some coffee. You can also take a shower if you want. Just make yourself at home, but I'll be home around six, so please be gone by then." she laughed.
"where do you have to go?" Joe asked a little disappointed. She looked at him with a sigh. "We said no stories. As soon as I step out that door we will never see each other again. That was the deal" she opened the door.
"And don't get any ideas about searching my apartment. I've only lived here for a couple of weeks. There's nothing personal here yet and most of the stuff is in boxes anyway" she raised her finger warningly.
"You just told me something about yourself" Joe grinned. "Fuck" she laughed. "I'd better get going before I fuck up" she stepped out the door, but stuck her head out into the room again.
"Thanks for the night. I haven't had sex this good in a long time. It was nice doing business with you" she winked at him before disappearing from the room and Joe heard first the stairs and finally the door a moment later.
He stayed in bed for a few more minutes before deciding to get up. He gathered his clothes from the floor and opened the door from which Tess had come earlier. It led into a huge walk-through closet that led into an even bigger bathroom.
Tess hadn't been lying. There really were a few more boxes in the closet, which Joe left behind to step into the bathroom. In addition to two sinks with a huge mirror, there was a bathtub the size of a whirlpool that looked like it had the nozzles too.
In addition to a toilet and a few storage options, there was also a huge walk in shower that was at least six feet by six feet, had several different shower heads, and the front was made entirely of glass.
Joe laid his clothes on the floor, grabbed one of the soft white towels that were ready and hung it on the bar at the front of the shower before stepping into the shower.
It took him a few tries before he understood how to use the various shower heads, sniffed his way through the myriad of shampoos, shower gels, scrubs and conditioners on a ledge of the wall in the shower, decided on something and washed his hair and body.
While he was already pretty relaxed, washing the smell of club and sex off his body gave him the rest of the relaxation. He dried himself, threw the towel into the laundry basket and got dressed.
He then searched the cabinets for something to maybe style his hair a bit, but found only a can of hairspray next to a bunch of makeup and skin care products.
Without further ado, he simply blow-dried his hair, fixed it with a little hairspray and left the bathroom.
He briefly considered making himself something to eat in the kitchen, but then decided he didn't want to take too much advantage of the hospitality and decided to head home.
When he pulled his cell phone out of his pocket, however, he found that his battery was completely dead. So he had to go to the front desk of the apartment complex and ask if they could call him a cab.
He just had the door handle in his hand when he stopped. He had really had fun last night and he liked Tess, even if he didn't even know her real name. If he left the apartment now, they wouldn't see each other again.
He knew he was violating the agreement when he looked for a note and pen in the dresser by the entrance and left her a message without further ado.
If you change your mind, get in touch. Here's my number! J.
He would not tell her his real names. It was up to her to decide whether or not to keep the bargain. He would wait.
Down at the front desk, he ordered a cab and sat down in the lobby to wait. He reviewed the last few hours. Should he have done more to learn more about her?
The deal was, just this one night, but Joe had to admit to himself that he wouldn't mind seeing her again.
Without further ado, he stood up and approached the receptionists again. "Excuse me" he smiled at them. "Your cab will be here soon sir" the receptionist answered him. "That's nice, but I was wondering if you could tell me who is living in apartment 613".
The receptionist raised her head. "I'm sorry, sir. For privacy reasons we are not allowed to disclose personal information about the residents of our apartment complex" she gave him an apologetic look. "Thought so" Joe sighed and sat back in his seat.
When his cab arrived, Joe gave the driver his address and watched the passersby and buildings pass by outside the window.
He paid the cabbie, got out, and ran up the stairs to his house. After unlocking it, he immediately plugged his cell phone into the location cord before going to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Meanwhile, his cell phone had come back on. Eighteen messages from Ja'Marr, two missed calls from him. The rest were messages from his mom or friends.
He quickly clicked on the chat with Ja'Marr, who had been spamming him with questions about last night and his location. Joe wrote him back that he could come by later, then he would tell him everything.
