Purple Romance

''Calm down? Mister, Calm down! Did you just asked me to calm down?'' she laughed and clapped her hands together before looking at him, ''my boyfriend just broke up with me through a letter that you gave me and you ask me to calm down. Are you tired of living? You must have a death wish! Answer me Mr. Man''

Paula stood up from the chair and stepped closer to Andy. She touched his necktie and pulled him closer to herself. Their lips were just an inch apart.

''Do you want to sleep with me?'' she asked and smiled.

''Huh?'' Andy looked at her confused.

''That jerk said he doesn't do virgins. I was wondering if you are willing to teach me a few bedroom skills''

''You are drunk'' Andy said and tried to push her away but her grip on him was tight and he couldn't shake her off without using force. He also didn't want to end up hurting her.

''I am not drunk. Now, tell me. Are you willing or not? You see, if I have to lose my virginity to anyone, I want that person to be handsome. You are not really my type because you are too beautiful but I can manage''

''Manage?'' Andy looked at her and felt insulted. A woman he didn't know and even though he knew it was crazy of him to still follow her around because he was worried. That woman is telling him he wasn't her type but she was willing to manage him. This was the first time a woman said such words to him

''En, I can manage. How about a one-night stand? I have money, I can send you to a nice hotel and if you impress me with your skills, I might just decide to sponsor you. You see, I don't have a job but I have money. My father left a large sum of inheritance for me before he passed away. Good news, right?''

Paula clung her whole body and pressed unto him, leaving no space between them. Her notably sizeable bust pressed to Andy's chest.

''Let go, you crazy woman'' he tried to pull her away but it was like she was a glue, stuck to him. Andy noticed the gazes of the people in the bar and sighed resolutely. ''Let's go''

''Really?'' Paula looked at him and smiled sheepishly, ''have you decided to sleep with me then? Let me tell you, you don't need to worry, I am absolutely clean''

Andy shook his head and turned to the bartender who was watching them interestingly, ''how much is her drinks?'' he asked the bartender.

''$20 dollars''

Andy removed some money from his wallet after a little struggle. He paid for the drinks and lifted her on to his shoulder. Her legs dangled in the air as he went out with her. She kept murmuring incoherently.

''Oh, you smell nice. I want to eat you'' she said when they got to Andy's car. He opened the backseat and put her inside and was about to close the door when she held his tie and pulled him closer to herself. ''Beautiful lad, how much do you charge for a night? You don't have to give me a discount. I will pay the full amount''

''Yeah, right'' Andy pushed her back and closed the door before getting into the driver's seat. He was so furious.

In just a few hours, he had been used by her now ex and she was calling him a gigolo. He didn't even know how to vent his anger and feeling of injustice out but one thing was certain, he was going to make her pay for all the name calling when she becomes sober.

''Hey, crazy woman, where do you stay?'' he asked and Paula sat up behind him and lifted herself up. she leaned closer behind him and whispered into his ears.

''I live in Venus, and you live in Mars, but we are all in Earth. Take me to Venus''

''What the hell?'' Andy freaked out and almost swayed off the road. Her voice was ticklish in his ears and he was surprised by her attitude.

''Handsome lad, where exactly are you taking me to? Are you going to sleep with me or not? If you won't stop the car and find me a man who is willing to sleep with me. I… I'' she slurred and placed her arms on his chest, ''I must sleep with a man tonight. I can't wait up a virgin. No, I don't want to wake up a virgin''

''Stop doing that. I am taking you to a place where I can sleep with you, okay. You should just relax, we will get there soon'' he flung her back and she fell back on the seat.

''Really? Are we really going to have sex?'' she asked him in a soft tone

''Yes, we are'' Andy began to coax her like a child. Heck, she was even acting like a child. This was his first time experiencing something like this and he regretted it but his soft-heart couldn't leave her alone. He was afraid that someone would take advantage of her. There were a lot of men who went out every night in search of vulnerable women to lure in and take advantage of them.

Andy also felt responsible for what she was going through. He was just at the right place at the wrong time and could only blame himself. If only he hadn't stopped at that café. If only he hadn't decided to go inside. If only he hadn't agreed to take the letter from that man, all of this wouldn't have happened to him.

A lot of 'what ifs' filled his mind but he knew it was a little too late to think about such things. He needed to get rid of the woman behind him fast and return back to his normal life. They were just mere strangers whose paths happened to cross at a point in time and after tonight, they weren't going to meet or see each other again.

While Andy was deep in thought, the sound of snoring brought him back to his senses and when he turned, he saw the lady sleeping. He didn't know when she had fallen asleep but he felt it was a heavy relief. At least, she wouldn't reel him up again. but there was just one problem now. How the hell was he supposed to send her home when he didn't even know her?

He pulled over and picked bag from the side, hoping to find a contact that he could trace and find where she stayed but that was a dead end, as her phone that was not in his hands was all cracked up and dead. he then remembered it had fallen when she threw herself at him.

'He left me''

Andy turned and heard her mumbling in her sleep.

'He broke up with me. it hurts'' a tear fell from her eyes and Andy sighed.

Of course it hurt. He knew it would hurt and was afraid she would do something silly like now. That's why even if he went against himself, he still decided to follow her till now. He knew that pain so well. he had gone through it, that's why his heart went out to her.

''Just what have I gotten myself into?'' Andy asked himself before driving away.

Hotel Senora.

Andy pulled over in front of their family hotel and got down. he went to the other side and opened the door. He carried Paula, bridal style and went into the hotel amidst the gazes of the people that were around.

Hotel Senora was one of the biggest hotels in City B. It was a chain hotel that had branches all over the country and was also popular for his unique services.

When one of the receptionist saw him coming in with a lady, she was puzzled and looked on with a surprised expression until Andy got to the counter.

''Aisha, is there an empty room?'' Andy asked the lady.

''Yes, sir'' the rooms manager said, walking up to them. She had a professional smile on her face. 'This way, CEO, please'' she said to Andy.

''Oh, thanks Godiva'' Andy heaved a relief and turned to go when two bodyguards and his secretary walked to him.

''CEO, let these men help you'' his secretary said and Andy shook his head.

''No, I will personally send her inside'' he walked away with Paula who was mumbling all the way.

The scene was a little foreign to the employees as it was the first time that their boss was this closed to a woman. He was known to always remain a polite distance between the opposite sex and they all thought he was single. But seeing how he was so protective of the woman in his arms, they concluded that, she was perhaps their new madam.

Manager Godiva sent Andy to a suit room at the far end of the second floor of the building. This floor was reserved for only business partners of the Senora Group and wasn't available to the ordinary guests. It was well equipped with a lot of facilities and also afforded maximum privacy with his soundproof walling.

She opened the door and stepped aside for Andy to go inside. The assistant who had followed hurriedly went inside with them and was about to speak when he saw the lady on the bed pull his boss and he felt on top of her. She wrapped her arms around his neck saying, ''let's sleep together, please''
