Chapter 7: The Woman in Red

Leo was in a bad mood this morning. Waking up to an empty bed had left him feeling rather used. He felt like he was at the receiving end of 'wham-bam thank you, sir!' He had never had a girl walk out after spending a night with him.

Most times the woman would stay to ask for Uber or taxi money or would simply linger around hoping to turn a little one time fling into something more. Never in his thirty years had a girl literally dipped and ditched on him.

She hadn't even left a note, and all he knew about her was the pet name she had given to him. Sammy...the mysterious lady in red who had just run out at the first sight of daylight. How rude was that? Had he been so bad at pleasing her, she hadn't even thought to wait for a sloppy 'morning glory?'

His senior bodyguard had given him grief about managing to slip away from them last night, but he did get tired of having bodyguards follow him around all the time. Sometimes he just wanted to be a normal guy, if just but for a day.
