“Don’t say that, baby. You don’t mean it,” she begged.

“Yes, I do. It’s been over for a while now. We haven’t been getting along, and everything’s always my fault. I’ve had enough.”

The tears began to stream down her face, and sadly, I didn’t give a damn. She had pushed me way too far.

“You heartless bastard. How could you do this to me? I love you, you son of a bitch.” She grabbed hold of my arm.

Jerking it away, I looked into her eyes. “Of course, it’s my fault this happened. Well, let me give you a wake-up call, darling. You are a whiney, jealous, self-righteous, selfish, stuck-up bitch, and God help the next man that crosses your path.”

She raised her hand and slapped me across the face. “How dare you speak to me like that.”

I held my face to try and soothe the sting of the burn. “Pack your stuff and leave,” I shouted, pulling out my phone. “There’s a four o’clock flight back to New York, and you need to be on it.”

“I’m not going anywhere. You leave. You’re the one who broke up with me, you fucking asshole,” she screamed.

I walked into the bedroom and threw her suitcase on the bed. She grabbed my arm as I grabbed her clothes from the drawers.

“Stop it!” she screamed.

Jerking away from her, I went into the bathroom, collected her things, and threw them into her bag.

“This is my room that I paid for. I’m not going anywhere. Now get out before I call security and have you thrown out!” I yelled as I pointed to the door.

“You’ll regret this, Drew Westbrook!”

I grabbed her suitcase and carry-on bag, opened the door, and set them in the hallway.

“The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner.”

I slammed the door as soon as she stepped out of the suite.

Jillian

I had a great time with Ano and Lonnie at the luau they invited me to, and by the time I got back to the hotel, it was eleven o’clock. When I approached the elevators, there was a sign that they were out of order.

“I’m sorry, miss. You’ll have to use the elevators around the corner and across from the bar.

“Okay, thank you.”

Walking around the corner, I pushed the button and waited for the elevator to come down. While waiting, I glanced across at the bar filled with people and noticed Drew sitting on one of the barstools. I hadn’t seen him or Jess the past couple of days, so I thought I’d stop over and say hi.

“Hey,” I spoke as I walked up to him.

“Jillian Bell. Can I buy you a drink?” he slurred.

“No thanks.” I narrowed my eye at him. “Where’s Jess?”

“I broke it off with her and sent her home.” He kicked back his drink, finishing it off.

“I’m sorry to hear that.” I didn’t know what to say, and I was shocked.

“Don’t be. I’m not. I should have done it a long time ago. Bartender?” He held up his finger.

“No, you don’t. I think you’ve had enough to drink. Come on.” I grabbed hold of his arm. “Let’s get you back to your room.”

He didn’t resist as I hooked his arm around my neck and took him up to his suite.
