Sometime later, I wake up. I’m not sure how much time has passed, but Mr. Black is not in the bed next to me. I stretch, marvel at the comfort of the sheets again and then finally pull myself out of bed. When I walk over to the windows and pull on the curtains, I see that the sun is high in the sky. It’s daylight.

Last night, seems like nothing but a dream. Did it really happen? Did all that really take place? Frankly, I have a hard time believing that Mr. Black is even real. Do people like him even exist? So, kind and caring and demanding at the same time. Someone who is both a mystery and an open book?

I look around the suite and after confirming that he is not there, I leave and make my way toward my own room. There, I jump into the shower and wash off all the sweat and sex from my body. On one hand, the shower is refreshing, but on the other, it makes me feel sad. I love the smell of Mr. Black on my hands and body and now a little part of him is gone.

After putting on some eyeliner and mascara and darkening my brows a little bit, I hear a knock at the door. It’s Lizbeth.

“I’m just here to check on you. How was everything last night?” she asks.

“Great,” I say. “Actually it was really great.”

“Well, I’m glad to hear that,” she says smiling from ear to ear.

“And everything is alright with your account?” she asks.

“Um, I don’t actually know. That’s a good question.”

“Well, I can wait while you double check, it’s no problem.”

That wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, but okay. I pull out my phone and log into my Bank of America account. I have exactly $251,459.39 in there. The quarter million is from last night and the $1,459 and some change is what I previously had to live on for the rest of the month. Wow, it didn’t seem like such a paltry amount until just now.

“Yes, everything seems to be in order.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Well, in any case, I just want to let you know that there’s breakfast in the dining room. And the helicopter is ready to take you back to Manhattan at any time.”

Oh. Wait, what? A helicopter? I’m stunned for a moment.

“Do I have to go back right now?” I ask.

“No, of course not, you can definitely have breakfast first, if you like.”

“No, that’s not exactly what I meant,” I say hesitantly. “What I mean is that I thought that this was going to be a weekend thing. I thought there was maybe another party later on?”

Lizbeth flashes a mysterious smile at me.

“Oh, so you really had a good time last night,” she says. My cheeks turn bright red and then I blush even more from the thought that I’m embarrassed.

“Mr. Black does leave an impression, doesn’t he?” Lizbeth asks.

From the tone of her voice, I can tell that she’s probably not a stranger in his bed.
