Chapter Seven
Lula Lopez
When I proposed a one-night stand to Javier, I was super confident that he would say yes. I mean come on, the way he stared at me when he thought I wasn’t looking, please. I thought he would jump at the idea so soon and be my fuck buddy for as long as this car ride takes. But he shocked me when he said no. Men like him are rare, that I know for sure. The things he said about me respecting my body-made me feel embarrassed with myself for suggesting such vulgar things to him. He seemed like a nice guy and I could only imagine why that dumb Rosa would treat him like trash.
Little did he know that I was checking him out while he was driving. The way his biceps flexed when he changed gears or when he turned the steering wheel. Gosh! This guy is a walking sex object, but he didn’t want me. This made me feel moody, I couldn’t explain why. I never just throw myself at a guy, but with him, I was ready to be the fool. Maybe Carlos was right, I am a hoe. A horny one.
When I was in the shower, I thought of the best way to lure him into my trap like a siren. He stared at me with confusion as I stood before him, showing him all that he would be missing if he didn’t say yes. I smiled triumphantly at myself when his eyes ran down to my boobs, but I was disappointed when he looked back up at my face, purposely avoiding looking down.
“My pussy is wet for you, Javier, fuck me already.” I rubbed the back of his hair as I invited him for a needy kiss. My plan was working… our lips brushed against each other, sending sparkles throughout my body. I wanted more of this hunk. I gripped his soft brown hair trapped between my fingers as he licked my lips. I deepened the kiss and pushed my tongue into his mouth. Oh fuck, he tastes sweet. He sucked on my tongue and I moaned in his mouth. I snaked my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. His clothes were in the way, but I didn’t care. Soon, they would be ancient history.
I moaned in his mouth again as he bit my lips lightly and rubbed his hands all over my back. His lips and hands worked wonders on me within a few minutes, I was going crazy. I wanted more! I needed more!! My clit was pulsating and I craved for a release.
I broke the kiss but still held him close. “Fuck me, I’ve been a naughty girl”. After saying this, my lips reconnected with his and I groaned when the desire burned in between my legs.
He broke the kiss amidst my protest. I went ahead to unbutton his shirt but he held my hands. “Lula,” He said, breathing heavily. “I can’t do this, I won’t do this.”
“Oh come on, I know you want me!” I can’t believe he’s still playing hard to get.
“Of course I want you, but this isn’t right. Let’s just stop.” He turned towards the exit.
I yelled at his retreating figure. “We are both consenting adults, why are you thinking too much of this?”
He paused in his tracks and snapped his head at me. “I think you deserve better than just a quick motel bathroom fuck. If you don’t value yourself, I value you.” Then he turned away and left the bathroom.
I stood there, staring at the door he just walked out of. My mind was suddenly filled with images of my past. How I fell for Carlos’s fake charade of love, how he was the most important thing in my life up until a couple of days ago. My heart was broken by him and I didn’t even let it heal.
Before I could catch myself, my back was against the wall, and my eyesight became blurred with tears. It felt like there was so much dirt in my heart, and the tears were washing them away, doing some kind of unpaid cleaning service. The tears were what I needed to feel lighter, and thanks to Javier, I realized it.
I wrapped a towel around my chest and got out of the bathroom. He was sleeping soundly on the small couch in the corner. His back is going to hurt when he wakes up, that’s for sure. I got dressed in my pjs and went to sleep too. I kept my eyes on him as my thoughts slowly devoid themselves, easing me into slumber. I watched his studded chin that pressed against his chest because of the messed-up position he was lying on.

“Lula, wake up!” Javier’s voice resounded from the outside world. “Lula!” I felt a light shake.
I finally opened my eyes. “What?”. I sat up.
“Someone stole our stuff! We’ve been robbed!”
I jumped up from the bed and went to check my bags, except, there was no bag to check! It was all gone! My money, my clothes… “What the fuck!”
“Let’s go down to the reception.” He went out and I followed him in my PJs.
We found the lady from last night sitting behind the counter. The reception area was empty like last night, not a single person was out and about except her. Javier faced her and calmly explained that we had been robbed. The only response she gave was “I didn’t see nobody”
I banged my fist on the counter. “Oh yeah? In a deserted motel such as this one, you’re telling me you didn’t see anyone go up these stairs since last night?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
She looked between the two of us and then shook her head. “Nope.”
Javier and I looked at each other, we both knew she was lying. His gentle demeanor was gradually fading away into the background and a different person was coming to the surface… He returned his attention to the lady who had nonchalantly returned to texting on her phone instead of calling the police.
In a flash, he stretched his hands and grabbed her by the neck, and pulled her up across the counter. Her uncaring attitude switched to a mortified look in her eyes.
Javier bared his teeth in fury. “Now Listen here, you redheaded harpy, I’m gonna give you one last chance to fix your mistake, or else my partner and I will make you our next victim!”
