I lean back to lay on this motel bed, throwing my arms out to spread out. This is your standard motel chain. The same sort of room, the same pictures, everything. This motel even has that motel smell, the sort of smell that you always smell when you stay in one. The smell is a tad different this time, probably because this is the first time I'm staying alone. Normally I've stayed in one with family or a girlfriend but Not this time. Also, it's the first time that I've ever stayed in one for my job.
I'm attending a nation-wide conference on behalf of my job. Since I don't like to fly, I got permission to drive. As it is across the country, its going to take a few days. So, I'm excited to report that this is night one of the long journey, a journey I've been very much looking forward to.
With a large sigh, I think about how strange it is for me to stay in a motel alone. I'm a 25 year old single guy, and even if I wasn't single, I don't think many girlfriends would want to make this long drive, which would mean taking time off from work too. It would most likely be boring for them as I would be going to work or driving each day.
Knocking
. Knocking at my motel door. My head pops up to look at the door, extremely surprised. Why would someone be knocking on my door? The only reason I can think of is something happened to my car...or it's someone bad looking to do something bad to me.
Standing up, I move as quietly as I can to the door and look out the peephole. My confusion strengthens as I was expecting to see the person that checked me into the motel, or maybe a brute that escaped prison in an orange jumper. But it's a woman. A 30 something normal looking white woman. Not even a meth head or crack addict. She looks the type that she is staying at this motel as well.
She's dressed in a very classy black dress, the sort that costs a bit. It hints at her body type, which is very curvy, but doesn't reveal any skin. She also is wearing make up but it's done very well, but not overly so. It accents her facial features and makes her eyes and her lips stand out. Not to be rude, but so many women plaster themselves with tons of makeup and it makes them look so horrible.
I take a moment to look at her hands to make sure she has no knife or gun or anything. She doesn't. Moving to the side I pull the curtain back to make sure she is alone. Sure enough, she is. No other person is with her ready to burst in once I open the door.
Knowing quite a bit of time has past since she knocked, I undo the lock and open the door. When I do, I'm prepared for anything, such as someone trying to burst into the room to which I keep my foot in front of the door. But nothing happens. The girl stands there and smiles a wide smile.
"Hey, can I help you?" I inquire as I stand in the open-door frame. At my words, she smiles even more, as if this pleases her. No, it's more like she finds this funny in a secret joke sort of manner that only she knows about.
"Hi there. I'm Angela," she tells me, putting her hands behind her in a very innocent sort of manner. Something about the way she does it makes it look, I dunno, rehearsed.
"Who are you?" she asks politely. "Paul," I answer, trying to echo the friendly tone of her voice. I'm taken back at how she is acting, as by know she should have asked what she wanted.
"It's nice to meet you Paul, but, that isn't your name," she tells me. Then she just stands there, looking at me with that smile. She then lets out a soft giggle as if embarrassed. I'm a bit confused by what she just said as it is my real name. Does she think I'm lying to her?
"That is my name," I tell her but I'm not sure why. I know it is my name, so why do I care if she doesn't believe me. When I say this, she slowly shakes her head no.
"Your name...is little bitch," she tells me seriously. "So Paul, this is what is going to happen," she tells me immediately in a very confident yet sweet manner. Her eyes look right into mine, and I swear they seem to be daring me to talk back to her.
"You are going to back up into your room slowly, and I am going to come in. You are going to sit, very slowly on the bed...and put your hands on your head like a good little bitch," she informs me in that sweet but confident tone. Her tone is so out of place with her words that I believe I don't hear them correctly.
"I....I'm sorry, what?" I ask, very confused. To this she laughs an honest laugh. It's a loud laugh too, the sort that surely other people that are staying here can hear.
"Oh Paul, you heard me. You don't get it, do you? You are being
robbed
. Now, be a good little bitch and do as you are told," she replies. When she says this, there's no anger or increase in volume. She says it like a person that is very much in control of themselves and the situation.
"Yeah, I'm not doing that. You can go and fuck off now," I tell her. A part of me is very scared for some reason saying this. It's stupid to feel that way, but I do. I mean, I stand at 6 feet tall, and around 200 pounds and she is maybe 5 feet. Maybe 5 foot 1 and 110 pounds at most. I bet a single well placed punch from me would knock her out. At the very least, I can push her on her ass.
"I think you will do it. You see little bitch, all I have to do is
