In My Desperate Time

I get up holding my limp waist and curse Frances Louis secretly.

“You teddy dog! I curse you for impotency.”

The bathroom door is pulled open with a clatter. Frances Louis stands there with a towel on his lower body, looking at me half-squinted.

“What did you say?”

“Nothing! I was wondering what you have eaten because you are so energetic.” I laugh a hollow laugh, and prevaricate quickly.

Men love to be complimented by women. Even if Frances Louis is otherworldly, he would not be an exception.

The knock on the door rings again. I don’t answer him anymore and go to the door.

“Don't open the door,” Frances Louis stops me and whispers.

“Why?” I turn to look at him and ask with confusion.

“It's not a secret that every time I come to Santos I would stay in this hotel. But no one ever knocked at the door, so I guess it is not a good visit.”

I stop when I hear his words.

Why should I make trouble for myself when Frances Louis doesn't want to mess with it?

He goes to the night table and calls the reception.

“There is someone knocking at my door. Whoever it is, tell him I'm out.”

Then, Frances Louis hangs up.

Soon the knocking stops.
