"If you don't get off her this instant. I'll call the police."
I saw he couldn't understand how I could speak and not move my lips.
"Get off her! Get off her this minute!"
Very confused now, he turned ever so slowly and looked at Destiny. Just then I pressed the control and had her lift her right arm, turning her hand so that her forefinger pointed right at him. It took him by total surprise.
"Who the hell are you?" he screamed, and twisting back, fell off the bed. He scampered quickly to his feet.
"Get out of here! Now!" Destiny cried, nodding her head. "or we'll call the police."
He backed up, looked at me. "Who is that?"
"I'll tell you who I am. I'm your worst nightmare if you're not out of here in a split second." she told him. I turned her torso in his direction. His eyes widened and he sputtered and then turned and left the room.
I leaped off the bed and shut the door the moment he was out of the room. Then I brought a chair to it and wedged it under the handle so it couldn't be opened. My heart was pounding so hard, it sounded like there was a drummer in the room. I pressed my ear to the door to listen for him.
Out in the hall, he gathered his wits about him and turned back to my room. I heard his footsteps and I moaned. He hit the door with his fist so hard, it bounced against my temple. I stepped back and watched him try to open the door against the chair.
"What the hell is that? Who is that? Open this door!" he screamed,
; "What's going on. Skeeter?" I heard Rhona ask in a sleepy voice, probably from her bedroom. "What are you doing?"
"She's got someone in there with her, some black woman," he said.
"What?"
"There's someone in the room."
"Who?"
"I don't know. It looked like a black woman."
"A black woman? You're crazy and you're drunk," she said.
"I'm telling you..."
"What are you doing in there. anyway, Skeeter? God, you're pathetic."
"I was just... having some fun,"
"Fun? You call that fun. Come on back to bed. We have a lot to do tomorrow. You know you have to talk to Billy and Lester. That five thousand isn't going to make them happy.'
"But... I'm telling you someone is in her room."
"Now? This time of night she has a black woman visiting her? You're drunk and you're seeing things,"
"I'm not drunk. I heard her and I saw her sitting there. Go look for yourself."
I listened hard, my heart still pounding. Rhona came to the door and tried it.
"What is this'? Open this door immediately. April. Do you hear me?"
"He tried to rape me!" I cried.
"Is there someone in the room with you?" "Yes," I said.
