True Untamed Love

Chapter Thirteen

Markat makes his way back in the room to check on Lisa. She was still sound a sleep with a no care in the world look on her face. Markat couldn’t help but stare at her. This was a dream it couldn’t be real. He had his dream woman in arms reach at a hotel and she didn’t even know what was going on. He started hearing something but what could be ringing. His phone wasn’t ringing and the room phone wasn’t ringing either. As he walked around the suite he stopped in front of the couch in the living room. It was Lisa’s purse on the table ringing with no thought he picked it up and reached for the phone. The screen showed Erica and Markat flipped it opened.                                                                                                                     

“Hello Lisa! where are you” yelled Erica                                                                                                                      

“Hello Erica! This is Markat Johnson, Lisa’s client we spoke last night” Markat answered                                                                                                             

“Where is Lisa and why are you answering her phone”                                                                                                                     

“She had a breakdown while we were out looking at houses and now we are at the Milton Hotel since her office is across town”                                                                                                                                                                              

“So you took her to damn hotel! Really! Can I speak to her”                                                                                     

“She’s sleep at this moment. Would you like me wake her up she’s very tired”                                                                                                     

“Hell yeah! She could be die or anything” yelled Erica through the phone. Markat moved the phone from his ear as he headed wake Lisa up.                                                                                                                 

“Lisa, wake up. Wake up Lisa” saying as he tapped her                                                                                                                           

“Umm” moaned Lisa as she rolled over                                                                                                                                         

“Lisa your friend Erica is in the phone. Wake up Lisa” saying as he repeated his tapping                                                                                                                

“HUH” Lisa jumped as she realized that Markat was real and it wasn’t a dream. Lisa looked around the room and then back to Markat. Markat smiled at Lisa as she looked very confused                                                                                    

“Where am I?” looking around                                                                                                                                                                  

“At the Milton Hotel” answered Markat                                                                                                                                    

“Why are we here Mr. Johnson”                                                                                                                                        

“Because you had a breakdown on me and I didn’t know what to do or where to take you. So I  brought you here to rest, plus your office was to so far and you need to rest now”                                                                                               

“What do you mean”                                                                                                                                                               

“You started talking about your ex and you wouldn’t stop crying and as you cried you started getting weak. Weak to the point where your leg gave out on you”                                                                                           

“Markat, I’m sorry. If I put you through any problems”                                                                                            

“You have nothing to apologize about, but can you please talk to your friend” saying as he passes the phone to her and walked toward the living room                                                                                                                                                                               

 “Hello! Erica”                                                                                                                                                                             

“Lisa you’re ok!”                                                                                                                                                                   

“Yeah why wouldn’t I be hun”                                                                                                                                                        

“I’m on way to get you, you don’t know him. He could be a killer Lisa! I’m on my way”                                                                                                                                                                      

“Erica I’m fine I’m just tired. I need some rest I just didn’t realize it”                                                                                                       

“Lisa you’re just saying that cause he’s looking at you”                                                                                           

“b***h he not in here. He left out”                                                                                                                                                

“I’m coming to get you f**k that”                                                                                                                                                      

“Bye Erica call you when I get home. I’m fine trust me. Bye”                                                                                                           

“Lisa”                                                                                                                                                                                

“Listen. I’m cool and please don’t come up here acting crazy. I’m straight I promise I’ll talk to you later” saying as she closed her phone and laying back down in the bed.                                                                     

“So where she at brah” joked Zoe                                                                                                                                

“Nigga shut up and be careful with her s**t”                                                                                                                             

 “One” and Zoe was gone like that. Markat made his way back to the room were Lisa was laying down now. Markat went and sat on the side of her.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

“How you feeling sweetie”                                                                                                                                                             

“I’m still a little tired, guess I should’ve stayed at home today”                                                                                                                                      

“You know you don’t have to leave the room it's yours for the night. That's if you want it”                                                                                                                    

“You don’t have to do that Markat”                                                                                                                                                                  

“I know, but I wanna. So what you say”                                                                                                                     

“I’ll let you know”                                                                                                                                                                                                     

“Can you excuse me for a moment I’ll be right back”                                                                                                                                       

“Sure”                                                                                                                                                                                     

As Market leaves out the room Lisa got up and went to the bathroom to look at herself. She washed her face and went and grabbed her purse. As she looked through her purse for her makeup kit she noticed something missing. Then she finished fixing her makeup and started looking for her keys around the room. She searched everywhere in the room but no keys. Markat walked back in and watched her look and didn’t say a word.                                                                                                                                                                             

“You looking for these” as he pulled the keys out his pocket                                                                                                                                                                      

“ How did you get those and where’s my car”                                                                                                                                     

“In valet parking”                                                                                                                                                                                             

“We drove my car here” looking puzzled. She didn't remember anything.                                                                                                                                                            

“No mine but I had someone go pick yours up and bring it here”                                                                                                

“Ah ok. Can we talk”                                                                                                                                                               

“Sure we can talk about whatever is on your mind” he said turning to face her. They started talking about everything. Like her breakdown, to why she had it, to the death of Aaron, to the drama she started having. Market admitted to seeing the scene in the lobby and how he felt about it. They talked for hours about their lives and they find out they have a lot in common. As time goes by, they were still enjoying each other company.                                                                                                                                                    

“I’m gonna stay but do you mind staying with me. I don’t wanna be alone tonight”                                                                                                                

“That’s fine. I’m here for you sweetie” smiling as he says the words. A minute goes by as he realizes that’s his staring into her eyes.                                                                                                                                  

“I’m sorry if I’m making you feel uncomfortable”                                                                                          

“Uncomfortable no, not at all sweetie”                                                                                                                                          

“Can I ask you something”                                                                                                                                                     

“Sure Markat shot”                                                                                                                                                                    

“Are you hungry, cause we can order room service”                                                                                             

“I’m a little hungry so that’s fine” smiling hoping he had asked something else                                                   

“Good I’ll get on that” getting up and walking out the room. As he placed the order and made a couple calls Lisa lays back and relaxed. Even thou she was going through a lot she felt better with him. It was something about him she just didn’t know what yet. . As the hours passed by and the food was delivered. They ate and talked some more as they enjoy each other’s company.  After dinner they talk some more. Markat realizing that it was getting late and they both had to get up early. So they said their good nights and off to bed they went. Both thinking of the person in the next room. Lisa prayed that Markat had slept in the bed with her and Markat wishing the same. When sleep came upon them , they both dreamed of the person that was just walking distance away.
