"Are you alright?"
I'm tempted to be mean.
Because there's just something about this man that tempts me tonotbe nice like I always am.
To yell and say,no!
I'm obviously not okay!
I woke up in bed with a stranger!
My boyfriend thinks I'm a whore!
And his PA apparently has the hots for him!
How can I be okay?
But when I look at him, and I unexpectedly catch a glimpse of the concern in his eyes—-
Poof!
There goes my unreasonable anger, and instead I hear myself mutter jerkily, "I'm asking for it now."
"Then it is yours."
He cups my chin and makes me look into his eyes as he says this, and I suddenly feel like I've been manipulated into asking for something far more valuable.
"I amyourZahir now."
I knew it.
"Um—-"
He suddenly places a finger on my lips, and I freeze.
"We are here."
We are?
The door behind Zahir is Room 921, and...and...oh my God.
"How did you get that?"
I think I'm freaking out again.
"I'm sure you don't really want to know."
Because I finally remember that Room 921 is Jamieson's room.
"Now, come."
He takes my hand and tugs me inside.
"This isn't—-!"
I hold on to the door jamb with all my might—-
"You told me you wanted the truth."
