A new plan
*Tom*
As I arrive at the hotel I notice a police car out front, and for some reason it makes me panic. I didn't call Willa before heading home, as I didn't want to wake her in case she was sleeping.
Hurry inside and impatiently wait for the elevator, knowing I probably look mostly like a kid who has to pee, but I don't care, I just want to make sure Willa is okay.
"Come on". I mumble, was the damn elevator always this slow ? I do not have time or patience for this.
Finally I reach the right floor and all but burst into the room, making Willa, Dan and two cops look up with surprise.
"Tom !" Will looks at me with surprise, probably because I am breathing hard an most likely looking like a madman.
"What is going on ?" I look from one to the other, happy to see that Willa looks okay.
Willa looks at the policeman, who nods, then she says. "They were taking Walter to the station, but ... they are not sure what happened yet, there was a horrible crash, both him and the two cops were killed, he never gave any info to the cops".
"Oh shit !" I feel like I am picking my jaw off the floor here. "That's horrible, I mean I was of course angry with Walter, but I would never want him to die ... and those poor cops".
"None of us wanted that". Willa says, taking my hand. "They came to inform us because of the case ... which is now no case".
I nod. "Of course I am sad it won't be revealed who he made the deal with, but it is the least of it now".
After the cops leave I wrap my arms around Willa and glance at Dan. "Not to be rude ... But I would like to be alone with my girlfriend now".
"Tom !" She gives me a stern look.
"No problem Willa". Dan smiles in that sleazy way that gives me the creeps. "I would want the same if I was your man".
I have to say that I am happy to see him leave, more than happy actually.
"Tom ... he is my boss". Will says when he is gone. "I know you don't like him, but please behave".
"I know he's just ...". I stop myself. "Why was he even here ?"
She bites her lip. "Okay, don't freak, promise me ?"
"I will try". I say, not liking how this makes me feel.
"When I got home Dan was here, cooking dinner ...". She starts explaining.
I feel a heat rush through me, and an urge to ... I am not even sure what it is I feel like doing, but it is not something nice and I want to do it to Dan . "How the hell did he get in here ?"
"The manager on duty let him in, apparently he managed to lie and charm her". She sighs. "Honestly I don't like him doing that".
"Believe me, I do not like it one bit either". I huff. "I will be talking to the head manager and make sure it never happens again, otherwise the hotel can expect a lawsuit coming".
I no longer have any doubt that Dan is out to get Willa, I am not sure she really get the extent of it though.
*Willa*
To be honest I completely get how Tom is feeling, but the situation is just not easy for me, Dan is my boss, he has my whole career in his hands. Also he has done a lot to help me, both before meeting Tom again, with the whole allegation thing and flying me here. "I get that Tom, I told him not to do it again".
"Willa, that man has some plan going, I am not completely sure what, but I am not liking it". He says, gently touching my cheek.
"And you do not even know it all". I mumble, only realising I said it out loud when I see his face.
"Willa ! What is it I don't know ?" His voice is low and demanding.
I look pleadingly at him, I do not have the energy for another blow up. "Tom please, I might have misunderstood it ...".
"Darling !" There is a warning in his voice but also a hint of fear.
"After dinner I took a nap, he said he would do the dishes and leave. I honestly planned to stay awake till he left but I just went out ... I woke up again with him having my feet in his lap, rubbing them". I explain, looking at him with worry.
I am pretty sure I can hear his teeth grind. "He did what ?"
"He said my feet looked swollen". I shake my head slightly. "I pulled them away, it was very awkward".
"Awkward ? It was completely out of line". I can feel like his whole body is getting tense. "This has to end Willa ... you are quitting that job, I do not want you working for him".
I breathe in slowly. "I have already been thinking about that ... I have a plan that will make the transition more smooth, and not give me a bad reputation in the business ... will you listen please ?"
He looks into my eyes and clearly sees how it means a lot for me to end this in a good way. "Okay, so tell me what your plan is ... and if I can live with it".
"Okay then, this is how I feel we should do it ...".
