“Go on, get your purse and whatever else you need.”I watched as she hurried over to the side of the room, grabbed her purse, and headed back to me.“Is there a minibar here?”I asked her.
“Yeah,” she said.
“Grab us a couple of drinks,” I said with a smile.
“Wait, you can’t take drinks.They cost money,” Shane said, sputtering.
“And?”
“And well, I’m not paying for this.Valentina, I thought your dad could—”
“You thought her dad could what?”I stepped in front of Shane’s face again.
“Well, I thought we could use her dad’s credit card to pay for this.I don’t make much money.I’m just a yoga teacher.I can’t—”
“You should have thought about that before you brought a beautiful woman like Valentina here and tried to keep her hostage.Do you think the police would look on you kindly if I told them you were involved in a human trafficking ring?”
“What?What are you talking about?I just wanted to have sex.Like I said to Valentina, I have blue balls.”
I stared at his crotch, and then I stared at his face.
“Don’t do it, Sam,” Valentina said, shaking her head.
I pressed my lips together.She must have been able to tell that I wanted to kick him in the balls.She walked over and handed me four little bottles of whiskey and rum.
“Here you go.”
“You ready?”
“No,” she said.“One last thing.”She turned to Shane and slapped him hard across the face.“If you ever contact me again, I will call the police, and I will tell my father exactly what you tried to do tonight.You’re a piece of shit,” she said.And then I watched her knee him in the groin.
He bent over in pain and started yelling, “You little …” He stopped when he looked up at me.“Get out of here, you two.I never want to see either one of you again.”
“Come on, Valentina, let’s go.”I grabbed her hand and escorted her out of the hotel room.I could see from her face that she was flustered and red.She was breathing hard.As we walked into the elevator, she rubbed her eyes.
“Oh my gosh.I cannot believe that just happened.How did I even go out on one date with that doofus?”
“Are you okay?”I asked, concerned.
“Yes, I am.Thank you so much for coming to get me.”
“Anytime,” I said.“I’m glad you called.”
“I knew I could count on you.I was thinking about calling Gabriella, but I knew she would be intimidated by him, and I didn’t want him to hurt either one of us.”
“You can call me anytime, Valentina.I’ll always be there to protect you.”
“You’re a good guy, Sam.”
“Thank you,” I said.I made my way over to her side of the elevator.“What would you like to do now?”
“I don’t know.Probably go home or—”
“You can come to my place.”
She chewed on her lower lip.“I slept at your place last night.I don't think it’s a good idea for me to go there again tonight.”
“Why not?”I asked her, a little annoyed that she didn’t want to come over.
