“Then I’m taking this towel!” I stated before slamming the door shut.
“Way to tell her, Jeff.”
Josh’s phone started ringing. “Hello? Yes, this is Josh Hayes.”
I could see the anger growing in his eyes.
“No, I didn’t authorize that purchase. My wallet was stolen.”
“Fuck,” I mumbled as I made my way over to my phone. At least she had the decency to leave us our phones.
I pulled up Ellie’s number and hit it.
“Hey. What’s up?”
“I need a favor. I need you to go to the store and buy me and Josh some clothes, then bring them to us at the W downtown.”
“Do I want to know why?” she asked.
“No. Trust me, even I don’t want to know why.”
She giggled.
“Does Josh wear the same size as you?”
“Yeah. Listen, my phone is beeping. I need to get it. Hurry up, though. Room ten twenty-one.”
I clicked over and quickly found out little Miss Sunshine was trying to rack up my cards as well. After making a few other phone calls, all three of my credit cards were turned off.
Josh looked at me and I swore I’d never seen him so angry. “That bitch! She tried to buy a five-thousand-dollar necklace at Kay Jewelers. She said a little something! That’s more than a little something.”
Laughing, I dropped onto the sofa and turned on the TV.
“What are you doing?” Josh asked.
“Ellie is bringing us clothes.”
“No shit. I finally get to meet your sister?”
I laughed again. “Fuck no. You’ll go in the bathroom and not step out until she leaves.”
Josh frowned. “Killjoy.”
Almost two hours later, there was a knock on the door. Josh was in the shower, so it was perfect timing. I opened the door expecting to see Ellie, but instead, it was Ari. “Ari, what are you doing here?”
She frowned. “Good to see you too, Jeff.”
Pushing past me, she walked into the room. “Ellie couldn’t get out of work this morning, so she asked me to go and pick you and your friend up some clothes. Party too hard last night?”
She glanced around the room. There was a pile of condoms on the bedside table.
“Is there a secret you’ve been hiding from us, Jeff?” she asked with her brow raised.
I grabbed the bags out of her hands. She was clearly trying not to laugh. “You can leave now, Ari.”
She sat down on the sofa. “Oh, I don’t think so, Johnson. I have to hear how you ended up in a hotel room with another guy and neither of y’all have clothes.”
Ari’s eyes moved hungrily over my body while she chewed on the corner of her lip. “Did y’all compare your dicks?”
