“What the hell?”
I must have done it wrong. I flip the card and insert it again. Still red. Other side. Also red.
“Shit, shit, shit.”
I try it five more times but nothing works. What if they already changed the keys since they transferred the room?!
I run down the hall to Chad’s room, praying I left the bag there and not in my original room.
He answers on the second knock, and for a fraction of a second I forget my nightmare.
What the…
“You like it? It’s magical.” He holds up his hands and spins amidst the resplendent purple glow outlining our room.
“Are those fairy lights?”
“LEDs. They’re purple.”
“I see that. Um…” Yeah, I got nothing. “You know we’re only here for a night, right?”
“Exactly! Have to make it count. Actually, you’re in luck. I just finished sorting the goods and was about to go deliver them to Jarvis. Want to come? Unfortunately, I can’t give you credit, since you didn’t help.”
“I’m good, but thanks for the offer. Hey, did you happen to see my bag from the store lying around?”
I scan the room, which is markedly harder to scan now that it’s purple.
“Yep. Right over there.”
Thank heavens!
“Jarvis dropped it off a few minutes go.”
Oh.
I force myself to calm through the sudden panic.
“I know what you’re thinking,” Chad continues. “Why, Chad, how come you didn’t give Jarvis his mints while he was here?”
God, I wish that’s what I’d been thinking.
“No explanation necessary,” I say. “You do you.”
I scoop the bag from the floor and rifle through it. My heart drops into my stomach when I notice the box is gone. Everything else is there, but no condoms.
Fuck fuck fuck.
“Well, the answer is, I forgot.”
“Huh?” I say, looking up.
This is… What am I going to do?!
Think!!!
“I forgot to give him the mints,” Chad says.
“What mints?”
