I spent all night writing a list for Valerie of everything that I noticed needed doing around the
place, but it was a little challenging, considering I didn’t know what half the place looked like.
I also spent a good chunk of time listing ways to advertise the site once it was up and running. I
didn’t even know this place existed until I drove past it in the taxi on my way back to my car.
Lived in this city my entire life, and I never realized there was a hotel on this side of the City and
on the main street.
Valarie would not need this information until the place was ready to open,
which was a long way off. And that is if it passed the health and safety inspections first because
this place was literally falling apart at the seams.
I managed to get a hold of Macey and Zoe; they were keen to find work. Both of them were
floored with the amount Valarie was willing to pay them, making me realize it wasn’t just me that
was underpaid and overworked when I was working, but rogues in general.
Macey said her
mother would watch her daughter, and Zoe said she would have to bring hers but had a baby
carrier and pram she could use.
Sixteen-year-old Zoe, I felt terrible for her being so young. Her mother was a rogue but died
when she was a child, and she has spent her entire life in and out of child orphanages and
refuges.
How lonely it would feel to be entirely on your own all your life. I spent over an hour on
the phone with her. She sounded miserable where she was.
So I ended up going down and
speaking to Valarie and asking if it was alright if Zoe shared the room with me.
It had a fold-out
bed; if Zoe would feel weird about sharing the double with me, Valarie nicely agreed and
seemed excited about someone Zoe coining here.
The following day, I woke up to Valarie calling out to me, her voice faint as she called out from
downstairs.
Sitting up, I see Valerian is still asleep, and my mouth falls open when I realize it is
nearly 10 am. We slept in. Usually, I am up as soon as the sky lightens when sleeping in my car,
around 6 am
“Everly wakey, wakey,” comes Valarie’s voice from the other side of the door as she knocks. I
quickly rushed to the door, embarrassed that I slept so late.
Opening it, Valarie was standing
there with smoke between her lips, wearing jeans and a tank top, with a vest that was open, and
she had steel cap boots on. She looked ready to kick ass, hopefully not mine. She was one tough
lady with a heart of gold.
“Finally, you are up. Did you have a good sleep? I didn’t want to wake you,” She says.
“I am so sorry, “I go to tell her, but she waves me off.
“Don’t worry about that; I tumed your alarm off and came in with the master key, come, come. I
need your help unloading my truck, “She says, walking off toward the stairs. I look back in the
room. Valerian sleeps peacefully, and I leave the door open before following her down the stairs
in my pajainas
“I have been shopping, couldn’t have Valerian sleeping on that dirty mattress, and now Zoe is
coining with her baby. I thought I would grab some things, it turns out I have a shopping
problem. Everything was so cute and reminded me of when I went shopping for my son when I
had him,” Valarie gushes, her sparkle bright with her excitement.
