CLEO
Icanât remember the last time I went to a hotel this nice since leaving Tristan and Talonâs family. It almost feels as if Iâm in a dream. After spending the last few years fending for myself and barely surviving with the scraps Iâve managed to make for myself, something as simple as a clean, safe hotel room is like paradise.
âI swear Iâll pay you once I get my money,â I say, but Talon only waves me off.
âWe just want you to be safe,â he says and puts my bag down on a chair nearby.
âWe?â I ask in genuine surprise. Even though Tristan had his protective, caring moment yesterday, I still canât be sure if he was just angry that someone was touching me or if he was genuinely concerned that I was being attacked.
Talon frowns at me. âWhy do you seem so surprised by that? Havenât we been helping you?â
âItâs just a bit odd considering that the two of you are the cause for a lot of the things thatâve gone wrong lately.â I shrug. âBut I donât want you to think I donât appreciate it or anything. I do.â
He gives me a tight nod. âI have to handle something at the front desk really quick.â He points at the nightstand that holds a phone. âIf youâre hungry, you can order room service. The instructions for how to do so are on the back of the menu.â
âThanks,â I say with a small smile.
âSure. Iâll be back in a little while.â
I nod and watch him exit the same way he came before I launch face-first onto the soft bed. A smile spreads across my face as I run my hands over the soft comforter. I canât remember the last time I laid on anything so soft and comfortable. My body sags into the soft mattress with a sigh. For the first time in a while, itâs like I can finally take a breath. Things have been hell for the last few weeks and having a small escapeâeven if itâs just to a hotel roomâis well needed.
My mind daydreams about everything Iâll do with my money when I receive it. I imagine having a beautiful apartment in a safe neighborhood, one where I donât have to sleep with weapons under my pillows. I picture myself going back to school and getting a degree in something thatâll provide me with more stability than bartending does. At this point in my life, I just want a foundation that no one can take from me, one that is all mine and permanent.
One that doesnât include my past if I can help it.
Talon is back quicker than I expect, coming in with two small buckets of ice. He puts the buckets in the freezer part of the mini fridge before turning his sights on me.
âI figured youâd be there,â he says with a smirk.
âWhyâs that?â
âBecause your bed at home is shit.â He leaps onto the bed and flops down beside me, putting his hands behind his head.
