A Strange Man

It's morning already, and Lucy woke up in shock.  She cleared her eyes before trying to get up. 

There was something strange about the bed, because the bed doesn't feel like her bed. She used her hands and rummaged the bed. As she was tapping around the bed, she felt something soft, yet strong. And it was fleshy. She opened her eyes at once and noticed that she was lying with a stranger on the bed naked. 

"Shit". She cussed.

"How did I end up here? I've been deflowered by a stranger, just like that?" She asked herself.

Tears were threatening to come out, but she held it back. She tried not to make noise so that the stranger wouldn't wake up.

Just when she tried to stand and get her belongings to leave, Fredrick turned while still sleeping. She was shocked to see the face of the stranger she had slept with.

She wore her clothes quickly and grabbed her jacket where she had fixed the hospital receipt in the side pocket.

She was disappointed in herself to fall cheap in the name of being drunk.

"Oh no what was I thinking? I need to leave here immediately before he wakes up. I can't believe I slept with him". Lucy said under her breath, regretting every action of hers.

She knew something happened between them last night, but she had to leave immediately before he woke up and found her there.

She paced around the room in search of her purse but she couldn't find it.

She tiptoed towards the door, and it was locked. when she tried opening it, she then gently twisted the door knob. With a creek sound, and luckily, it opened.

She quickly ran downstairs to check for it on the counter where she was drinking last night.

"Excuse me, sir. Please, I can't find my purse and phone. I was tipsy last night, so I think I misplaced it." she asked a man who was in a security uniform.

"Ok ma, but we will need your I.D to be sure you own the properties if eventually we find them." the man replied.

"That's not a problem sir, let's just go find it." Lucy replied hurriedly as her heartbeat fastened more.

The man led her to the store room where lost or forgotten items were kept.

"That's it sir." Lucy said pointing at the bag the man brought out.

"My I.D is inside there." she said as the man was opening the purse to cross-check properly.

"My number is, two, one, four, double eight, seven zero, three, one, zero." Lucy stuttered while the man was going through her I.D.

"You can have it." the man responded as he handed the purse and phone to her.

"Thank you sir." Lucy snapped and left.

"Thank God everything is intact." she said feeling a bit relieved.

Just as Lucy left, Martha came out of her hotel room. The room five key was with her. She used the keys to open the door and entered the room. 

Fredrick was still so deep asleep that he didn't notice that someone entered the room.

The first thing Martha did was to retrieve the video camera she placed behind a flower vase. 

She was happy that her plans worked successfully. As she tried to sneak out, she turned a bit to be sure the man didn't see her but something else caught her attention.

"What!?

"How could this be?. Martha murmured with a frown.

"I can't believe it was him that Lucy slept with last night. What should I do now?. I don't even know if Lucy saw his face or if he saw Lucy's face". She thought to herself.

Martha was contemplating on how to handle the situation. She finally came up with an idea.

"I need to lay beside him. I don't think he knew whom he slept with last night and besides there's an alcoholic smell on his body. Which means he must have been drunk last night. Yes!, that must be it". She muttered to herself.

She slightly opened the refrigerator situated at the corner of the room and grabbed a bottle of alcohol in the fridge. She opened the liquor and sculped as much as she could.

"At least I can smell like alcohol and he won't notice that I'm not Lucy," Martha said to herself as she curled her lips into a devilish smile.

Martha excitedly removed her shoes and her clothes. She gently laid beside Fredrick with only a bikini. She went closer and laid beside him, placing one hand across his back, because Fredrick laid on his stomach.

She laid calmly on the bed trying so hard to act according to plan. Martha never believed that she would be opportune to see Fredrick in person not to talk of lying on the same bed with him. She felt scared and excited at same time

Few minutes later, Fredrick began to turn, he kept on turning slowly before he finally opened his eyes.

The first thing his eyes met was a lady's face.

"Shit!. Fredrick sat up immediately. He looked towards his groin and he noticed that he was naked.

"Shit!" Fredrick cussed.

He observed the face of the lady lying beside him closely. He was even more disappointed at himself after knowing the identity of the person he slept with.

As the heir to one of the top families, he was not supposed to stoop too low to have anything with a lower person.

"I'm so disappointed in myself," he cussed under his breath, still staring at the lady beside him. He was filled with guilt and anger towards himself. 

He hurriedly stood up and got into his suit pants to leave the room. 

He brought out the cheque paper in his suit pocket and signed on it. He placed it on the bed beside Martha who pretended to be asleep.

He looked around to be sure he wasn't forgetting anything. 

"Oh, I think Max left this here," he said to himself as he sighted a file on the floor at the other end of the room.

The papers in the file were a bit littered and Fredrick packed everything into the file without checking them out.

When he was ready to leave, he slowly opened the door, so that he wouldn't wake Martha.

"And where do you think you're going? A voice interrupted him.
