Episode 2: Sharp-Sharp Hotel
(Eni)
As usual, laying on this bed, my eyes facing the ceiling, I can see all the crack on each ceiling, last I counted the slates were divided into 9 halves, the fan moving lazily, the light blinkering dull, the room smelled like stale bread, probably emanating from the bed spread, I couldn't wait for Alahji to finish pounding me, sex with him was always dull, but he was my most generous benefactor, he usually paid me twice my price, for that I had to help his ego, and pretend as though I enjoyed his small manhood and lack of any sexual talents, other times I urinate and act as if it was a squirt or I had cummed, the way his face glowed up afterwards was funny, he gave me more money in return, but today I couldn't bring myself to pretend or act my usual scene, the sex today was just a dreadful bore, we both wanted it to be over soon, but Alahji usually took his time to ejaculate; which was the only plus, to the entire sexual debacle, unfortunately I never feel his manhood inside of me, my fingers do the most work when it comes to satisfying me, I often wondered if he enjoyed anything likewise, since it appeared I was more wider than his girth could hold, maybe he also pretended I thought to myself.
Finally, the whole dreadful scene was over as he finally ejaculated, as usual, he did it inside me, immediately he got up, went to his pocket; he counted a few notes left it on the table, dressed up and walked out of the room, I knew he was annoyed, about the way I had behaved today, I had not given him his ego’s worth, but it wasn't my fault, as I mentioned earlier I had a lot on my mind.
I stayed for a few minutes on the bed, after he left, looking lazy at the wall, it was painted in a dull brown colour, which looked faded now, with stains all over it, I figured from the regular sexual intercourse that occurred in this room, this sort of colours were normal. I finally summoned the courage to walk to the bathroom, where I cleaned up and took a shower; I avoided the mirror because I hated what I have become. I dressed up, took the money from the table and walked out of the room, locking it behind me, I need to go down to the reception and talk to Joseph, only he could help me find a solution to my current predicament, but at first, how do I explain to him that I was pregnant?

Sitting at the counter trying to balance this accounts for more than half an hour. Still, my thoughts wouldn’t align, I keep getting distracted by yesterday’s events, with madam, it was one of the best sex I ever had, but it was weird that after the whole stuff she became hostile towards me, pushing me out of the room at midnight, and threatening to fire me if word ever got out about the real stuff, not my first rodeo about low-key things. Still, I just found it confusing when only a few minutes ago, she rested her head on my chest telling me how much she wished she could always do this. The next moment she was sending me out, I’ve never fully understood this woman, and I found it funny that I was attracted to her more because of her mysterious attitude.
I remember the day she interviewed me for the receptionist position, and she had been sceptical about hiring me. Still, she confessed that I sounded too convincing which made her have second thoughts about hiring me, her first thought, she never told me but I figured it had something to do with me being attractive.
This job was my only way out, and I chose it out of desperation, it was either this or fraud well let’s just say my head wasn’t exactly built for scamming people.
(Reception; Eni)
She meets Joseph at the counter, his head bent, he’s busy scribbling something on a page, the blue register book sitting on the counter desk, she took a few minutes to 'scope’ him, he was such a beautiful man, if she wasn’t into this business she probably would’ve gone all out after him. Still, unfortunately, she wasn’t his type as she considered herself too dirty for him. But regardless of her crush for him, she cherished their friendship, and she loved the way he always looked out for her, especially since the last time when the useless customer she brought to the hotel room tried forcing his way after his time was up, he had given him a very sound beating. He could look harmless, but he was sure very crazy, just the way she loved her men, 'gentle as a dove, wise as a serpent.’
As she made her way towards him, he raised his head and looked at her, he smiled the kind of smile that melted souls, she smiled back waving at him as she advanced towards him, suddenly his boss-the witch woman walked in with other staffs screaming about something I couldn’t figure out yet, everyone scampering around, Joseph simply went back to the register when she was done screaming, she sighed, and said ‘Joseph drop what you’re doing, meet me in my office’ on hearing that, he followed her at once like a lost puppy, I just stood by the counter, sighed and walked out, in hopes of searching for another customer to while away the time till he’s back, just another day at Sharp-sharp hotel.
