I just nodded and took the card. Then he left and went off to do his work. As I entered the room, I opened my phone and saw a notification from my bank account and a message from my ex. As I open my bank account, it said I had $1.00 left.
Then I open the message from ex:
"What the hell is this?"
"Who is that guy?"
"Are you trying to make me jealous?"
I went to the bed and sit there, hoping this is a dream. As look around I see a folded note beside a glass of water on the bedside table.
"You're safe. Don't worry. Black Bike"
My fingers trembled slightly as I picked up the note. The memory of last night trickled back slowly drunken laughter, fake boyfriend photos, the wind rushing past me on the back of a bike. His voice. His arms catching me as I started to doze off.
I reached for my phone and quickly text Saoirse:
"You okay? Where are you?"
She reply a moment later:
"Alive. In a different room. My head hurts. Pretty sure I hugged a biker like a koala all the way here. You?"
"Same." I reply. "They brought us here. We passed out. And did you see the notification."
"They took it all, that bastard. I will kill them." She states.
I text back, "Now first thing is to do is find job and a place to stay. I am going to ask for help from him, Black rider. So, you also do your best to find the job and a place to stay now. Find it."
After that, I close my phone and head to the shower. I take my time, bathing slowly, lost in thought. I don't notice how time slips by.
Suddenly, the door swings open.
There he look worried and surprised.
"AH-AH-AH-AH! Why are you here?" I ask while covering myself.
He quickly shuts the door behind him. Then his voice comes from the door, "I brought back your bag. It's in the sitting area."
I hurry to say, "Can you please bring it to the bedroom?"
"Okay."
After that, the sound of his footsteps fades away. I get up from the tub and look for the bathrobe, but there's only a towel.
"No! only towel and not a bathrobe." I talk to myself while picking up the towel. Just then a loud noise come from outside.
"Sorry about that, your suite case suddenly open itself but I will help you with it, take your time." He says it.
Without thinking, I wrap the towel around my body and rush outside. I see him picking up my clothes. I hurry over and say, "I'll do it myself please, can you go outside?" I don't look at his face, but he quietly hands me a black piece of cloth.
"Okay, I will wait. Take your time." He said while passing me that cloth and walk out toward sitting area.
