her some coke, and she said she would suck my dick in the bathroom. I am telling you, get rid of her and fast.”
“I will think about it.” For some reason, I couldn’t believe what he was saying, so again I changed the subject. “There’s something I want to talk to you about. You know how you are running the other hotel? Well, how about coming back home to run the hotel here?”
He looked taken aback. “Really? Hell yeah. Maddie wants to live closer to her family, and I would love working with you.”
“But stay away from Toria. I am going to give her a trial period. I might even drug test her.”
“You should; she looked fucked up tonight.”
I shook my head. “I think we should get a cab and head to the condo. You want to stay at my place? You can crash in the guest room.”
“Yeah, let me call Maddie outside.”
After we stepped outside, I hailed a cab for us both while Sean called his fiancée to let her know what was going on. When he talked to her, his face lit up, and I could see that he loves her. They agreed we would all meet up after I got my tux and head to her parents to stay there. At the house, Barb was sitting on the couch watching some housewife reality television show.
“Hey baby. Hey Sean.” She turned off the television and headed to the kitchen with us.
“Barb, how’s life treating you?”
“Good, we are getting married soon. Will you be there?”
“Hell yeah I will be.”
I held my head down.
“So Barb, did he tell you about hiring a new employee today?
She sat on the bar stool. “No, he didn’t. Do tell, baby.”
I hated when she called me baby. “Yeah, I did. It’s a trial period, though. She’s young and has no experience.”
“Oh, she has experience all right.”
Barb looked at Sean. “What do you mean?”
“Oh, he hired a crack whore today.”
“What? Is that true?”
I slammed my hand down on the counter. “Sean, you knew her years ago. What if she changed?”
“Really, babe, you are defending this girl over your best friend?”
“I am just saying, don’t just jump to conclusions and start judging her. You never know how she is.”
Sean walked over and grabbed a water off the counter. “Yeah, that’s why she’s homeless,” he judged.
“Wait, how does this girl look?”
“Long brown hair, sunk in face. Crack skinny, and she looks grungy.”
“Jeb, is this the same girl you offered money to on the street?”
“As a matter of fact, yes.”
“Fire her.”
I was shocked that this was the second time today I was told to fire her. “No. Now, I am going to bed. Barb, be up by nine so we can go. If you are not in the car at that time, I am leaving without you. Same to you, Sean. Goodnight.”
I walked to my room, got undressed, and laid down. I couldn’t wait until Monday to see Toria.

The next day, I woke up to Barb stroking my dick. “I will get your mind off that other girl.”
I slapped her hand away from me. “Barb, I am not in the mood for this today. Please stop.”
“How the fuck are you going to get me pregnant when, apparently, you’re not attracted to me?”
“Whoa, we didn’t agree to kids.”
She got off the bed and pulled the robe around her body. “Yes, I want three.”
“You’re crazy.”
“Just wait until I talk to my father. Let him know that your dick is now jerking for a crack whore. Let’s see if he signs the contract then.”
I got out of the bed. “Go right on ahead. You won’t get what you want most; my money.”
She just stomped out of the bedroom.
For the rest of that day, we went to Maddie’s family’s home. They had money! Their house was gigantic, with a pool, tennis court, and they even had a golf course. Barb just ignored me the entire day. I swear I saw her walk off with one of the servers at the party. We decided to just stay there since the wedding was the next day. Maddie’s family seemed normal, and it made me so mad that I was being forced to
