Peyton's Music

RAJI was awakened the next morning by a woman’s voice in the other room of the hotel suite. A service lady was thanking Peyton with a high, surprised note in her voice.

Peyton regularly overtipped any staff they ran into, from car rides to room service to bellhops to baristas. If she hadn’t heard squeals of delight when someone left, she might have taken his temperature and looked down his throat to make sure he wasn’t deathly ill.

She wandered out to the living room of the hotel suite, where Peyton was pouring steaming coffee from a carafe into cups.

The scent of blessed, blessed coffee filled the air so strongly that Raji inhaled deeply and tasted the roasted aroma on her tongue.

She rubbed her eyes. The welts on her back stung, and she loved it. “What time is it?”

“Nine-thirty. Since your flight isn’t until three, I figured we could sleep in a bit.” Sunlight from the wide hotel window glistened on his blond hair, and he looked like a young, golden sun god who had somehow appeared in a hotel suite in the Southwestern US.

The couches and living room set were creamy white, while the dinette set was upholstered in pale blue canvas. Basically, it was as formal as one got in the Southwest. Peyton often booked them a hotel suite with a kitchen and several rooms as if they were playing house. It was as close as they would ever get to living together, and Raji let herself enjoy the fantasy sometimes.

She wandered over and lifted a cover off of a plate to see what was for breakfast. “Oh, good. Egg white omelet and fruit.”

Peyton sat on the other side of the table. His plate held the same. “About last night—”

She shook her head. “I got a little emo last night, but I’m back to being a cold-blooded lizard person today. We don’t need to mention it ever again.”

“—it appears that we got too rough—” he continued.

“Hey, I’m not judging. It sure looked like you liked it, too. I absolutely consented to everything that happened, if that’s what you were worried about.” She dug her fork into her omelet.

“—and the condom broke,” Peyton said.

Raji’s whole body went numb, and her lifeless fingers dropped her fork. It clattered among the other silverware like crashing traffic. “What?”

“I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you last night, but you seemed upset.”

“I wasn’t upset. I was fine.” Her fingers couldn’t seem to grab the skittering fork.

“Dr. Andy held mandatory seminars on sexual stuff for the band. From what I understand, there are some things we can do today, but talking about it last night wasn’t imperative. So it seemed okay to wait until the light of day to discuss it more rationally.”

“I am perfectly rational, and I was perfectly rational last night, too.” Raji’s heart fluttered. “Yeah. Andy’s right. I can do something about it today.”

“Which is why I’m telling you. I’m sorry. I would have stopped if I had known, but we were going at it so hard that I didn’t notice until afterward.
