Chapter 4: The Son of God
Dawn dressed in Helen's spare uniform. Her hands were shaking. She had never done anything like this before. She stood looking at herself in the mirror as she dressed doubting if she had the courage to go through with it.
She couldn't believe she gave Peter a blowjob just to learn Devkumar's room number. Peter of all people, he's so annoying. She couldn't believe she had intercourse with Paul just to gain access to the twentieth. Paul, who always stared at her, undressed her with his eyes, and who gave her the creeps sometimes, would not have been so lucky had he not been head of security and had she not needed to talk to Devkumar. She couldn't believe she had lesbian sex with Helen just to wear her uniform.
Although having sex with Helen was better than the sex she had with Peter and Paul, she's not lesbian. Now, Helen will think there is a chance for a relationship. How on Earth could she face these people again?
Until this period of lunacy that she suddenly experienced over Devkumar, the only thing she ever did wrong in her life was to marry, Joel. At the time, she was 25-years-old and he was 55-years-old. He promised her the world and gave her nothing but promises. He lied to her and she believed him. Even the diamond ring he gave her was not real. She felt dumb, but she was smart enough to leave his ass and divorce him.
She had never known her father, which may have explained her attraction to a much older man, she figured. The man who impregnated her mother never accepted his responsibility and as the years passed, her mother lost track of him. Last she heard he died in an automobile accident somewhere in Ohio.
She pushed her housekeeping cart on the freight elevator. Nervousness briefly stopped her from opening up the pass key control pad. Finally, opening it and pushing in the four digit security code, she pushed the button for the twentieth floor. Once she reached her floor, there was a man sitting in a chair by the elevator.
"Housekeeping," said Dawn as she rumbled off the elevator.
"Just a moment, Miss." The man stood and walked to her. He ran a metal detector wand over her body and when he saw the small gold cross in her lapel, he allowed her to pass.
