100 100- Biggest Surprise

This was the best night Kate ever spent in her life. The expensive hotel room, the ambiance, and the non–sated hunger of John Harris made it all worthwhile. @

They didn’t let each other sleep and kept enjoying their limited time in bed. And now she was fast asleep, sprawled across the bed.

John had a proud smile on his face when he realized that this exhaustion was due to him. He was the reason for this tiredness.

He had so many plans for the day but right now she needed to wake up to have breakfast.

Before going to bed around five in the morning, she wanted him to order something from room service because she felt hungry, but he didn’t bother to listen to her.

And now he felt guilty.

“Wake up, Kate!” he shook her bare shoulder that was peeking from the sheets.

“Kate. Wake up. You should eat something now.” She still didn’t move.

“You need energy, girl. Going to bed empty stomach isn’t good,” he grabbed a feather from the roll pillow and twirled it between his fingers.

Reaching out, he brushed the feather against her cheek. Kate just scrunched her nose in irritation and then kept sleeping.

John rubbed his thumb on his forehead to think of ideas. He again tried to brush the feather to her ear this time.

“Mmm. Go away,” she mumbled, still too sleepy to open her eyes. She extended her arm to get hold of the feather with her eyes still closed but he kept it out of her reach, pulling it away just in time.

“You were hungry, little Ms. Se*xy. Now come on. You can sleep later,” He whispered playfully brushing the feather along her jawline.

“Noooo,” she groaned burying her face into the pillow, “I need to sleep. You didn’t let me sleep throughout the night. Didn’t let me have early breakfast.” She complained, sending him again on the guilt trip.

“That’s because,” he brought his mouth near her ears, “that was for your benefit, Kate.”

She frowned and looked at him through her half–opened lids, “My benefit? How come?”

“You’ll understand soon,” he said and started pulling her hand.

“You can go and have your breakfast. I need my sleep,” Freeing her hand from his grip, she again hid her face in the pillow. She really wanted that sleep. “Kate. Honey,” he crawled towards the foot of the bed and started kissing her feet. When she didn’t move, he then started licking them.

“Urgh!” she got up and tossed away the pillow, “John!”

He was quick to reach her and kiss her lips, “According to our stay, our breakfast is free. Complimentary! And I never miss a free meal. Now move your ass!”

He slapped her shoulder and laughed when she threw another pillow at him, “You are impossible!”

She straightened and stretched her naked body not bothering that the sheets were pooled around her on the bed, giving his eyes a good show.

She tried to get up but then had to plop back on the mattress holding her head.

“You alright?” he showed concern that she dismissed with a careless wave of her hand.

“Just extremely drowsy,” she said hoarsely.

“OK. Let me help you,” before she could say anything or protest, he had lifted. her naked body in his arms and tossed her over his shoulder like a sack.

“John,” she squealed in panic, “put me down!”

“Now, now. Are you awake, baby?” he asked her, slapping her bare bum and she squealed again.

“Put me down!”

Once reaching the door, he did let her down, “Don’t take long. I’m too hungry,” He gave a hard stare at her naked body and stepped back.

In the hall, there were other guests too and they all looked so polished and so rich that Kate wanted to be a part of them.

“Soon, little bird! Soon,” she blushed when heard John behind her.

Once her plate was full, she went back to the table and started eating without waiting for John who was still busy filling up his plate.

The most challenging part was to eat food with the same decency the others. were accustomed to. She was starving and John didn’t order anything at that time.

Now she understood.

He didn’t want to spend an extra dime on her and wanted to wait for the complimentary breakfast.

Once she was rich everything would change. She wouldn’t be waiting for complimentary stuff anymore and could order room service any time she wanted.

“You didn’t even wait for me,” he remarked when he placed his plate on the table. Kate observed his face carefully.

He didn’t look mad.

“This wouldn’t have happened if you had ordered some snacks for me at five a.m. Now stop complaining and try their Hash Brown.”

She put some Hash Brown pieces on his plate and got busy with her food. “Kate,” she didn’t raise her face when heard him calling her name.

“Hmm?”

“Eat slowly,” he suggested in a whisper.

“What?” she looked up with a full mouth, her cheeks felt like two small

balloons.

“I said, eat slowly. You are eating too fast,” she continued eating as if she didn’t hear him.

He smirked, “You are dreaming of being a billionaire and here you are gulping down this food, attracting all the attention!” Was it the hint of sarcasm in his voice?

He shrugged and started cutting the fried chicken breast, “Fine! I just wanted to warn you. There are things that do not always work out as we plan or expect.”

Now that was odd. Why was he saying such a thing?

Her gaze slowly observed her surroundings. He was indeed right. The way she was eating her food like a hungry wolf was alien to most of the people. She bent her neck too low not to face anyone, trying to avoid any eye contact, and started taking small bites from her cheese omelet.

“Fu*ck. Don’t they have anything better to do than observe me?” she spat in anger, “Are they planning to write a journal on my way of eating? Or will I be their next topic for PhD?”

“They are filthy rich, Kate and they have enough time to observe the people around them. That’s their only job. They point out mistakes, judge them, and then even ban them from their lot. So yes. Nowadays, filthy riches do give a damn what the others are doing.”

Kate hoped that they all would forget her face once she would be one of them.

“Should we change our table?” she asked John who was taking a sip from his coffee.

“Now don’t be a fool. Just take it easy. Have your breakfast and get back to the room. Don’t you need your sleep?”

She agreed and got up to take another serving of her breakfast.

However, those subtle remarks from John were quite disturbing.

Why was he passing that absurd remark?

I just wanted to warn you. There are things that do not always work out as we plan or expect.

Soon she would come to know what he meant by this! Soon she would get he biggest surprise of her life.
