Julie
The stench of cigarettes and stale beer hit Julie in the face as she
opened the door to 4B. The ruckus of the previous night had warned
that this room wouldn’t be fun to clean. Beer bottles were
everywhere, some empty, others almost gone with cigarette butts floating in
the dregs. She pulled on her gloves with a satisfying snap and got to work.
She’d been staying at the D-Lux Motel for two months now. The owner,
Dale, may have been a despicable human, but he was allowing her to stay
rent-free in exchange for maid service. Some days it seemed she spent just
as much time dodging his advances as she did actually cleaning rooms, but
she didn’t have anywhere else to go. Guests were infrequent and rarely so
sloppy, so she was able to pick up shifts at the local diner. She’d managed
to save a little money and hoped to get out of this situation soon.

She snapped open the trash bag and set to cleaning the room. After she
threw away all the trash and cleaned up all the questionable substances that
she’d learned to not think too hard about, she stripped the bed. With the
trash was in the dumpster, she only had to deal with laundry. She made her
way, as quietly as possible, through the back door of the office to start the
load.
She tried to be quiet, as to not disturb Dale. Odds were he was in his
office watching cable news and wouldn’t hear her. Tossing in the soap, she
closed the lid and started the washer. She was almost out the door when she
heard it.
“Where are you off to so fast, girly?”
She froze, her mind racing, trying to think of anything she could say to
get away from him.
“I need to go get cleaned up. I have a shift at the diner,” she said.
“Not cutting out early, are you? We had three checkouts this morning.”
“Yep, all the rooms are done.”
“Why don’t you come and sit with me in the office for a bit? We can talk
about your advancement here. Then you wouldn’t have to work at the
diner,” he drawled as he scratched his balls, leering at her.
“While I appreciate the offer, I like working at the diner. I’ve met a lot
of people and made some good friends who’d miss me if I was gone.
” She
let those last words linger, a warning that even though she’d only been in
town a few months, people would notice her absence. She had clocked Dale
as a predator the moment they met, but she didn’t have any other options.
And as much as she would love to find another place to live, it looked as
though she was stuck there for a while.
“When you get off tonight, stop by my room.” He was moving closer to
her as he spoke.
“I’m closing tonight, so I’ll just be heading to bed when I get home.
Another time maybe.” She hoped he would be drunk and passed out by the
time she got back.
