Marry Me Not

NINE

Carmen and her friends ended their vacation yesterday after five days of having an adventure in the wildlife of Africa. It turns out that Carmen has a boyfriend back in her home town and she is like to have fun whenever her boyfriend is not around and when things get complicated between them she just runs. 

Carmen is just...she is just like that!

This is my second week staying in Africa and I like this place. I meet a few girls back at the hotel but nothing is serious except for the s*x. 

Delaya the receptionist told me there was someone looking for me when I go back to the hotel after wandering half-day at the market. She said it is a young woman but unfortunately she did not catch her name. She told her to wait in the lobby but that woman just walked away and seems angry.

That could not be my sisters. None of them is having an attitude like that. 

Walking to my room I catch a glimpse of a woman from afar. I thought maybe that woman is my next-door guest but the more step I took, the more I get closer to her I would not say she is a new guest next door. 

Unbelievable!

What is wrong with that woman? What did she want?

Once she said she did not want to see me and wanted me out from her life but now there she is standing in front of my door.

"What are you doing here?" I ask Athena

"What does it looks like to you? I am waiting for you. Where have you been?"

"In Africa? Where I have been not your business. What are you doing here anyway?"

"Can you let me go inside first? I need to pee!"

Once I open the door, Athena rushed to the toilet. How long she is been waiting here actually? I am curious but I will not ask her that. I might hate her but I am not a bad person.

"Are you done?" I asked Athena when she is done with her natural calling

"Yeah"

"Great. The door is that way and please do not forget to close it when you are out"

"Listen. Do you think I wanted to be here? I am only here because my parents forced me to!"

"Cannot say no to your parents? What about your boyfriend? He must be really missing you right now!"

"I have no choice since my parents cut all my access and he is not your concern"

"Okay. But still can you please get out or get your own room? I need to sleep now"

"I do not have money"

"What?"

"I said I do not have money!"

"Why?"

"Because they want me to stick with you when I am here"

"Ahh! Since I am low with cash I will give you one of my cards, you can rent your own room and do whatever you want to do now shoo!"

"What do you think I am? A w***e? Keep your money for yourself!"

"Look. I am tired and don't need and don't want to deal with your antics right now or later or anytime. Here is the card take it and leave. The door is still waiting for you to close it"

Athena is really pissed right now. She grabs a statue near her and ready to throw it to me but before she can do anything, two guards show up because the bell boy heard us arguing. After hearing our explanation they left us with a warning.

"What do you need right now?" I say and closed the door so no one can hear anything in case Athena starts to yell again.

"I do not need your goddamn money!"

"Alright. Do you want to stay or go home?"

"If I have a choice I would rather go home than staying here with you!"

"Alright"

I went to the balcony and left Athena alone inside my room. Make a view phone call including my mother and the Armakov letting them know that I will send Athena to go home tomorrow sharp!

"You will fly back..." She is asleep.

I should be the one who is fall to the deep slumber right now but I guess I will make another phone call to the receptionist for another room before I passed out.

I left her notes before I move out,

This is Barry's number. Give him a call when you wake up.

Tell him that I told you to call him. He will know what he has to do.

And call the receptionist, her name is Delaya, she can arrange your drive to the airport anytime you want.

Adios!
