Chapter Thirty

Caleb drove forward in between two buildings. It was all so quiet, stark and a little bit eerie. One of the garage doors opened and Caleb drove in. I was nervous. A part of me trusted him and another part did not.

“You ready to look? Don’t worry I will not try anything on you. I can tell that you belong to someone. Plus, I am not one for American women. No offense.”

“Non taken,” I said relieved that I kept my engagement ring and partly relieved thanks to the insult.

“I am so curious,” I said.

“Let’s go,” he said. I opened the car door and stepped out on a linoleum floor which was a little strange for a garage but okay I thought. The garage was spacious. There was a set of stairs on the other side of the car near Caleb. I walked around the car and he waited at the bottom of the stairs and put out his hand for me to go first. I walked by him and said, “Thank you.”

I slowly went up the stairs looking around. There was a door at the top. I opened it to a large studio looking apartment. The design was impressive. A little modern and a little cozy.

The air-conditioned room was full of mirrors. There was a round table with two chairs in front of me. There was a round bed covered with a red silky bedspread. A medium flat screen television was playing porn. I tried not to look shocked by the overt scene on the television.

I turned around and saw a small sliding door in the far wall. The entrance to the bathroom was to the left. There was small window to in the back of the apartment that looked like it looked over nice green plush trees.

“What is the little door for?” I asked Caleb who was standing near the top of the stairs.

“This is for privacy catering,” Caleb said.

“Huh, “I said.

“See this little door,” he said. Caleb walked over and opened it to an empty space that looked like a box. “There is another little door on the other side. Our guests order food or cocktails, or coffee whatever they please. Our waiters put your order in this space from the other side. Then the little door is closed. You, then open this door and find your order. Total privacy. No one is ever seen.” I shook my head in understanding.

“Well, this is quite the romantic place,” I said a bit sarcastic.

“You don’t approve?” he said.

“No, actually I am rather impressed. It is genuinely nice. Nicely decorated. It is much better than most of the hotels I have been at and a better price.”

“Oh good, I am glad you are pleased,” he said. “You know men and women get to release themselves here. Relax and unwind. Marriage is for an exceptionally long time, you know. Life always gets people down. We like to pick people up.”

“I know, my parents got divorced when I was a teenager. I am aware of the problems and changes.
