It Wasn't Wilbur In The Hotel Room
Marigold
I knocked on the door of the hotel room and waited for an answer.
I don't know why Will insisted we meet in a hotel. Could it be because he's very busy? Maybe it's this hotel that they are using to shoot the movie
I knocked on the door again and there was no reply. My phone then vibrated in my purse and I brought it out. It was a message from him saying I should come inside
“why didn't he just open the door?” I muttered to myself and chuckled. Who knows, maybe he has a surprise for me. A romantic surprise I guess
I opened the door hoping to see a room decorated with beautiful rose petals on the floor and the bed and sweet smelling perfume, then a beautiful table set for a romantic dinner with candles and food. But the room was just normal, like really normal. I didn't even inhale the smell of his perfume
I closed the door
“uhmm, Will?” I called when I didn't see him
I walked further and stood in front of the bed, I dropped my purse and looked around
“Willie” I called again and I heard a sound from the bathroom.
“oh, he's in the bathroom” I said and I relaxed on the bed. I brought out my phone and decided to take a picture so I stood up and went to the mirror. I took only two shots when the bathroom door opened.
I looked back immediately and expected him to walk out but he didn't
“Wilbur?” I called and looked waiting for him to come out. Slowly, he stepped out with a towel and he was dripping wet.
When I saw the feet, I looked up into his face instantly because those feet weren't his. His feet are tender not veined and thick
It was Eduardo not Wilbur. He had a smirk on his face. I was taken aback
“Eduardo?”
What I'm I doing in Eduardo's room?
Wilbur
“it's switched off now” Eliza said and I bit my lower lip
“and she took her car right?” I asked
“the text said she should take a cab” Eliza answered
“this is serious” I said and my heart skipped several beats
“I'm calling my manager now” I said and immediately began to dial his number. He picked up almost immediately and that's a good thing because I would have run out of patience just waiting for him to pick up the phone
hello there's a problem
what is it this time?
Mari got a text from me saying she should meet me in a hotel by 7pm. I didn't send that message and now her phone's switched off
I don't really understand you
I groaned and felt like hanging up but I needed his help
just meet me at the station okay? The police station, now
okay, I'll be there
I hung up and breathed a nervous sigh
“I don't think we have to worry. She might come back if she doesn't see you there” Eliza said
“someone sent a text to her using my number. Saying she should come to a hotel and she should carry a cab not her car. And she actually went, and it's been an hour since she left and you called her phone, she didn't pick three times then the fourth time her phone is switched off. I think you know we're supposed to worry” I stated and palmed my forehead
“I'll follow you to the police station”
“okay, get a jacket. It's cold tonight” I said and she nodded and ran inside
Mari
“you're highly welcome” he said with the smirk still plastered on his face. He began to move towards me and I moved back
“I'm supposed to be meeting Will here” I said and he laughed
“I studied Computer Science partially and I'm very good in hacking someone's phone” he said and I furrowed my brows
“I don't understand” I said and I somehow felt in danger. But I shouldn't be in danger, this is Wilbur's best friend
“you don't understand? Wow, you're just as dumb as your boyfriend” he said and I gulped down.
I looked at my purse and at the door.
“excuse me, I'll take my leave now. Sorry for intruding” I said and walked to the bed
I picked up my purse and he took just two steps forward and grabbed me by the neck. I screamed and both my phone and purse fell down to the floor
“where do you think you're going? You want to walk out on me?” he barked and I shivered and choked at the same time. I couldn't breathe.
“please... Please put... Put me down please” I stammered and coughed at the same time.
He lifted me up and my feet floated in the air. I got even choked up more and I know if he hadn't dropped me, I would have been gone in the nearest one minute
I landed on the bed and I began to cough for the next five minutes. My eyes were burning and bringing our tears. My nose suddenly began to run and thick saliva filled my mouth
I didn't even know when he brought a bottle and forcefully opened my mouth and poured in the content. He lowered my head and let my face face the ceiling. That way I uncontrollably gulped down the bitter liquid. He then forcefully pushed me away
“what did you give me?” I managed to ask with my voice that had suddenly gone low because of the choking
“something to make you sleep for some hours” he replied and I gasped and stared at him
“by the time I'm through with you, you'd regret choosing Wilbur” he said and at that instant, my eye lids pulled down uncontrollably
