*Monica's P.O.V.*
I gotta say landing in Las Vegas with my ex-fiancé's brother ex-wife really tops the desperate shit cake that is my life...at least I can do this staying at one of the most expensive villa suites in one of the most expensive hotels in Las Vegas. The Bellagio Hotel. With my own butler service.
"Okay so I have your reservation ready for the 2 Bedroom Penthouse Suite and your total will be $18,747.00 for four nights. Will you be paying charge or our Gold Membership account?" The hotel agent asked
"Amex please." I said handing her the card and she swiped it...twice
"I'm sorry Miss. Underwood, but your charge is declining and is informing me to destroy it. Sorry, do you have any other forms of payment?" She asked me.
I'm stunned. Fucking appalled, never in my life has something declined on me
"I'm sorry. Declined? That's a unlimited charge card, one of the best American Express has to offer, please try again." I informed her and she swiped it through
"Nope. The funds on this card is frozen and unable to use, please destroy this card." She replies the message she was received on her end by the POMS.
"Okay, let me think... how much do I have on my Gold Membership account? Any points or perks?" I asked her
"I can double check that for you. What is the account number and the last four of your Social Security number?" She asked me
"BELL5678545 and the last four is 6543." I told her
"You currently have $124.00 worth of points on your account and we can apply that to resort fees and tax, but we'll still need payment for the remaining amount." She said. Lauren creeps up the side of me and sighed loudly like the pregnant cow she is
"Girl what is taking so long? All the steak is gone at the buffet..." Lauren said annoyed
"It appears Blu cut the joint account short or changed all the details without my knowledge. My Amex is frozen." I told her
"Oh girl no, you don't have any money?" She asked me
"Of course I have money, I just don't have enough for this room, or any other rooms at this hotel." I told her, the hotel agent rudely told us to leave from her line when She heard I was broke.
"I need to make a phone call" I told Lauren and she nodded. I grabbed my phone and dial a number
"Hello?" He answered
"What the hell Mark! You're supposed to be my accountant and I gotta find out on the streets that my funds are frozen!" I asked him
"You we're supposed to receive notice today. Did you read your mail?" He asked
"I'm in fucking Vegas Mark! And homeless! What address did you send it too?! How the fuck I'm supposed to know a letter was supposed to come today! Why didn't you email me?!" I asked him
"Because in the letter was also attached was my letter of resignation. You can't afford me as your accountant anymore, Blu Jay took his name off the joint accounts and his shared assets. You only have your own income, which isn't much since you don't have a real job." He told me
"Mark, how much money do I have?" I asked him
"You got $2,900 in your savings, $780 in your checking and $1400 on your own credit cards. Which you only own two so like $700 each card. Look you got enough to get a good meal and spot on the slots, have fun Lady Luck." He said then hangs up the phone
"What the fuck!" I shouted loudly and we were escorted out of the hotel.
"What just happened!?" Lauren asked me.
