“I don’t have it, I forgot it somewhere”she said in a low tone again and saw Emiliano’s anger flared up, now that she thought about it she regretted going to that boutique to change her clothes and since she wanted to wear something different so emiliano would have a hard time finding her, she ended up forgetting her phone, she didn’t even have her purse with her because it was in Emiliano’s car.
“Damn it you are useless… it’s getting late, we need to find somewhere to sit, forget that I need to sleep”he complained as they walked away from the restaurant , the sky darkened as thunder roared. For a while Sia thought it was a car but it wasn’t because lighting struck indicating it was going to rain any time soon as if they didn’t have enough to deal with.
“How on earth did you get here without a phone and money huh, we need to book a five star hotel.”
“We don’t have any money therefore we can’t afford an expensive hotel… what’s wrong with you”she said in anger as they finally arrived at an inn which was a shabby hotel with spoiled walls and cracks all over, emiliano looked at the almost falling apart building and stumbled back because he just lost his strength.
“What.. what are we doing here?”he asked and Sia ignored him and made her way inside heading to the receptionist with Emiliano following behind as he covered his nose and mouth hating the smell radiating from inside.
“Hello miss, do you need a room? ”a man with white hair wearing gym clothes chewing gum in a way that was too disturbing to bother Sia and Emiliano who felt disgusted with the place, the interior was even worse than the exterior. He was certain the tiny rotten building would fall apart with just his fist.
“Can we get the cheapest room you have… here”Sia said and took off her gold bracelet which the man saw and smiled in delight, emiliano watched to the sides as Sia gave away her bracelet and judging by her facial expression which was now serious, he guessed the bracelet came with a lot of emotional sentiments.
“Sure sure… this is real gold madam are you certain with this?”the man asked while checking the bracelet but Sia didn’t answer.
“The keys please”she said and the man shrugged and opened a cabinet and retrieved the keys.
“Room 120″he said and Sia took the keys and walked towards the stairs while Emiliano stood there and he observed the man inspect the bracelet nodding in satisfaction, Emiliano neated his brows and averted his eyes and left.
As soon as they stopped at room 120 Emiliano wanted to go back and find the nearest bridge somewhere because the door looked bad already, he was wondering how the inside would be like.
“Let me”Emiliano said and took the keys from Sia, she was holding Diego therefore was struggling to open the door, in one swift the door was open and they walked in with vivid eyes as they scanned the tiny room with a small bed fit for just one person at least it was what Emiliano was seeing comparing it to his large soft bed with nice scented fluffy pillows and had an ac.
“This is horrible, I can’t stay here”he complained while Sia made her way to the sizeable bed and carefully laid Diego there, at least the sheets and blankets were clean, the room was a little small with just a nightstand and a dressing mirror and when she glanced the her right there was a wooden door which she guessed was the bathroom.
“Stop complaining because this is your fault”she moved from the bed and said while tying her hair in a bun, Emiliano wasn’t happy as he peeked out the window only to find it raining cats and dogs.
“A… are you sure this little thing will hold us? What if it crumbles to the ground huh?”he said in a worried tone because the building looked dead like if the rain continued it would fall apart taking them with it.
“People live here, do you think the owner is crazy to put this up on business”she was already irritated with the fact that she had no money or phone to call mario for help, at least if she called mario everything would have been fine but now she was dealing with arrogant emiliano who was complaining about every little thing.
“In this horrible place? It smells horrible… I can’t stay here and that bed looks too dirty”he has never been away from the comfort of his home and everything he had was luxurious, he never had to fight for a place to sleep or worry about what to eat since everything was given to him on a silver platter however now he was about to share a flea infested bed with a woman he hated not just that but he was starting to feel hungry.
“Not everyone is rich like you… people have no place to sleep or call their own at least respect this place because despite everything we have a roof on our heads’ ‘she said and sat on the bed and started arranging it so little Diego would have a nice sleep. Sia stared at Diego for a while and sighed, she shouldn’t have left him with Emiliano because if she had told Tara to change plans at least her baby would have been fine at home not roaming in the streets with no place to go. Lowering down sia planted a kiss on his forehead and caressed his cheeks which were now pink, he was fast asleep and she knew any moment he would wake up and cry for food.
“Yeah right i’m sure you are used to living in this condition… tell me why did you come here wearing that”he walked to the night stand and half sat so he could be looking at Sia who was busy touching Diego and hearing his question Sia’s face turned dark.
“I’m hungry here, you need to worry about food and Diego is hungry”saying that she walked around the room searching for anything but nothing.
“Buy him a sandwich”Emiliano said with a chuckle but stopped when Sia glared at him and he raised his hands in the air in surrender form.
“Okay okay… wait here”he said seriously and walked out of the room closing it lightly leaving Sia standing there as she thought and tried to figure out where he went to but she was too tired to play detective hence she went back to sit with Diego who was now fully awake looking around the strange place obviously lost and wondering where his mom and crazy dad have brought him.
It was nearly fifteen minutes until the door opened and a wet emiliano walked in holding a tray and with lazy eyes Sia looked up and emiliano smiled at her.
“Did I take long”he remarked sarcastically but Sia ignored him and focused on the tray full of plates.
“Where?”she started but emiliano cut her off.
“Don’t ask me… I sold my kidney”he chuckled and started taking his clothes off in front of Sia who immediately covered her eyes in embarrassment.
“Where did you go to get wet like this and I won’t eat that because I don’t know where it came from”they had no money with them so how did the Casanova manage to get everything which obviously cost a lot.
“Relax I performed magic”he joked while taking off his clothes but stopped when he was about to remove his jeans.
“Shameless”sia mumbled as she watched Emiliano enter the bathroom and within minutes he came back wearing a gray sweatpants with a tight black shirt which stuck to him indicating it wasn’t his size.
“Well at least this horrible building has something I needed”saying that he took a bowl with a spoon and went to sit with diego.
“W… what are you doing?”sia rushed to him.
“Relax, okay let him eat… okay let’s see… I went downstairs sold my watch and met a nice lady with a nice heart who felt pity for my sad story and made this yummy baby food for me and my abandoned son”he said and cradled Diego in his arms and started feeding him, sia was lost as she watched Diego eat the food like it was the most delicious he ever tasted.
“What story?”Sia gave up and sat down and took a plate of fries and a cheese burger.
“I told her my wife ran away with her lover taking all my wealth and left a three months baby with me.. well with a sad face and an innocent smile the lady was moved and showered me with love”he said and by now Sia felt like killing him but calmed herself because the Casanova helped her and Diego.
It didn’t take long before they were done and with a full tummy Diego was fast asleep as Sia crawled into the covers to get some sleep.
“Tell me why on earth didn’t you ask for a phone huh?”sia said with eyes closed and Emiliano who was half sleeping o the tiny bed frowned as he looked up at her.
“Because there is poor network due to the rains dummy so tomorrow… and don’t think we are friends now because I still hate your face”Emiliano said calmly and closed his eyes, he was tired really tired.
“Yeah yeah Mr Casanova”Sia mumbled with a lazy yawn as she kept her hand on Diego. Time passed by and her eyes flew open and landed on Emiliano sleeping like he was an angel, she hated him and promised to ruin him for what he did. He was irresponsible and never took life seriously. Everything was a joke, If only he could remember that night she was sure he would hate himself for eternity however Sia didn’t want to recall the awful night as she drifted to sleep.
