“ARE YOU ALL RIGHT, SIR?”
I look up at the voice. A bellboy smiles cheerily at me. He has no idea
who I am or what I’ve been through, yet he has the nerve to smile. It’s been
nineteen days since Isis Blake forgot about me, and he has the nerve to ask
if I’m all right.
I light another cigarette.
“Get out of my face.”
His expression falls, and he backs away. “S-Sure. Have a nice night.”
I scoff and lean against a pillar of the grand marble roundabout of the
Hilton. I watch ridiculously fancy black cars shuttle in and out, dropping off
equally puffed-up old rich people. Bellboys and concierges scurry around,
calling taxis and directing valets. Revolving glass doors with gold accents
constantly whir and hiss over the mindless chatter.
Women shriek with
laughter, men guffaw; all of them are oblivious, happy idiots. I can see the
truth in their clothes and posture—five of the men are cheating on their
wives. Two of them with far younger women, one of them exclusively with
prostitutes. He not-so-subtly taps the ass of a passing blonde in a peacoat.
She hides her grimace with an actress’s grace. When she sees me, she clips
over in her heels with a mildly happier smile.
“Jaden! Oh my God! It’s been forever!”
“Three months, Lily,” I correct. Jaden is the name I use for my escorting
work, and I’ve never let the other escorts I’ve met in passing know my real
name.
“Three months, forever, same difference.” She laughs. Perfume wafts off
her, the expensive, strong kind. The kind you buy when you have to cover
up the pervasive smell of sex.
“Finished with work?” I ask, and jerk my head at the man still watching
her lecherously, his wife oblivious and clinging to his arm.
Lily sighs. “Yeah, for the night. I’m about to head back to my place.
What about you?”
“Mayor’s daughter.” I motion to my tuxedo. “Winter ball.”
“Bet you were the hottest guy there.”
“It was a Catholic girls’ school.”
“And the hottest guy she’ll ever have.”
Lily is just a few years older than me, but she’s been in the Rose Club far
longer. Lily isn’t her real name, just like Jaden isn’t mine. I don’t know her
in real life, and she doesn’t know me. But sometimes we work in the same
hotels, and she’s one of the few girls in the Rose Club who isn’t annoyingly
vapid. So we talk.
“Seriously.” Lily elbows me. “I’ve seen her. She looks like an inbred
Pomeranian on her best days.”
“Now now.” I blow smoke into the sky. “Let’s not be nasty. She paid
good money. And I respect and appreciate money.”
Lily watches my face carefully as she waits for a taxi to cycle past. She
knits her thin brows.
“What about your own prom?” she asks.
“What about it?”
