Heartbreak Hotel

A Shot In The Dark

Kate
I wake up once again in a cheap hotel all alone and naked with a hangover. I don't recognize the place. I laugh as I read the name of the hotel okay I get it already. Heartbreak Hotel how ironic. I go into the bathroom and check the amenities out. Not much here. I think the person I was with stole them including the towels. Grrr. I go with what I can find and take a shower and go gather my clothing and put it on after air drying. I pull my hair into a pony tail. I stumble to my car at two pm and I finally get home. My roommates are studying their butts off and the music is playing. Smells coming from the kitchen how odd. I look and there is a tiny girl cooking and doesn't notice me. The pot is nearly as big as she is. Jose comes around the corner and says smells good doesn't it? I push him away and leave the kitchen. I head to my room and get some pills for my headache realizing that I forgot about water and I don't want to go back out there. Ethan is going razz me about doing the walk of shame again. Then the interrogation begins and lecture on being safe from STD's and then goes on about missing women in the area.

Jose jr
Thanks for doing this for me Anastasia I owe you one. Do you need Wanda worked on? I have time today if you do.

Anastasia
Wanda is running fine, but I will keep it in mind about owing me one. I am almost done, make yourself useful and get the freezer containers dated and serving sizes you think you might want for each of them. I hand him the ladle and turn the stove off and start cleaning up the mess so we have a clean work space for the freezer containers. Jose be quick I have to go do this for dad and your father as well and the drive is a killer.

Jose jr
Geez do you have an off switch? Here let's get this divided up so you can take your pots with you. We are done in twenty minutes and I carry her things out to Wanda and she drives off to her next stop to cook for both my dad and hers. I walk in and find Ethan digging into my stash. I grab it from him and tell him hands off of my food. I freeze the rest on my part of the freezer. Good thing this place came with one. No one else uses it but me. The fridge we use for leftovers and stuff like beer, wine and Anastasia forces me to get fresh fruit and healthy things to eat. She attends the same college as we do, but she lives in an apartment over the hardware store she works in. Her bosses idea to keep her safe. She works a lot of hours and they thought it was better to let her use the apartment for free. Who does like Anastasia. Kate had never seen the mythical creature until today. She just knows that she cooks and cleans the kitchen once a month and her food is great. Kate steals my food when I am not looking just like Ethan. You would think their wealthy father would hire them a cook and a cleaning crew for their needs. But alas he doesn't so the apartment looks like a disaster a lot. My dad taught me better, but they didn't have to cook or clean for themselves.

Ethan
I got a few mouthfuls before Jose took the food away from me. Omg the girl can cook and she is hot. I just got a good look at her today and wow and that was without any frills. She can clean too. She blew through the apartment like a tornado putting everything where it was supposed to be and getting trash picked up and taken out in no time. I watched as she cooked in that giant pot that she brought in and Jose caught me and told me she is not available until after she graduates from college and don't ask why.

Kate
I finally get a good shower and go look in the kitchen and find it very clean for now. I check what food is left on my shelf and find one beer, wine moldy cheese and not much else. I look at Jose's shelf and he has a full shelf of nice food and it looks good and the vegetable bin looks full on both sides. I see apples and bananas on the counter and I grab a couple of them. I head to my room and am stopped in my tacks by Jose telling me to remember to throw the peels and cores in the kitchen trash or we will have those pesky gnats again. He has started doing his laundry and I try to throw things in and he stops me from putting my red shirt in with his whites. I get the lecture about him not wanting pink underwear or t shirts.

Ethan
Here we go again Kate manipulates Jose into doing her laundry once again. I might as well go throw mine in on the deal as well. I grab a banana and an apple as well. I peel the banana and throw it in the peel in trash bin. I put the apple on my desk in my room. I grab my clothes and drag them to the laundry room. I bat my eyes at Jose and he hits me with dryer sheets empty box and tells me to go buy some and two bottles of laundry detergent and fabric softener and make it the good kind. I grab my keys and head to the store and think about my food supplies for the next week and an hour later I am carrying groceries in and forgot about everything else. I then have to go back out this time with Kate in tow. We get the detergent and everything Jose asks for, but his clothing is all washed and dried and put away. We are left to do our own laundry. But we do have groceries and the resources to do laundry. We just don't know how. Jose has gone out and didn't let us know where to or when he will be back. Maybe we should get dad to hire someone to come and cook and clean for us like Anastasia does for Jose.?

Kate
I think you should ask mom to do that because she will be more comfortable doing it then. Dad might tell us to grow up and learn how to do things for ourselves. Mom will need to help her babies and she will want to be able to help us. It will make feel needed.
