City of Lovers

After eating, the APs drive you to the hotel and drop you off there. The cameramen leave you two alone, but you assume the production team was working with the hotel to gather footage of you two. They give you two keycards and you walk Evelyn up to her room. It was pretty obvious what the producers were trying to set up. More drama. Your relationships and your own feelings didn't matter to them. They wanted something entertaining to happen. You sleep with Evelyn. Paige blows up again. Then they send in another girl. It's just a stupid cycle.

22:21 – Evelyn’s lust has increased by 20 – Special date bonus

“I had a lovely evening,” Evelyn says wistfully. Her eyes sparkle and twinkle. Her smile fills you up with warmth, the kind of smile of playfulness but also gentle innocence. The one that fills weak men like yourself with desires to protect and destroy people who would take it away.

“Yeah… see you in the morning,” You say, feeling distracted.

“Umm… would you like to come in?” Evelyn says, she looks away, her face turns red. She bites her lips and grabs her arms, running her left hand up and down her right arm.

Evelyn sees your wondering expression and covers her face, “Oh my gosh. No. I don’t mean like that. Just hang out. Like watch anime and stuff. We shouldn’t… you know on the first date.”

The little redhead buries her face into her hands.

Notifications pop in your vision, and you are reminded of the quest you were given before.

Time limit – 1 hour 39 minutes left.
The clock is ticking.

You let out a deep breath. Right at that moment, Evelyn looks like the most beautiful thing you have ever seen. Your dream woman. But your mind was in an entirely different place. You couldn’t even think about fulfilling your mission with the AMA. You weren’t a **** to the AMA, it was a tool for you. You didn’t have to complete the mission. If you couldn’t find love without the AMA, what was the point of all this? You thought Evelyn was beautiful, and in time, you could get to like her, but you couldn’t move on with her like this quickly. Not when Paige was where she was. It wasn’t fair to her. Not with all you've been through with Paige.

“I’m not going to lie and say I don’t want to come in and hang, Evelyn… but let’s just wait and see, okay? I got a lot on my mind right now.”

“Is it Paige?” Evelyn asks, she has a sweet, sad smile on her face.

You nod. “It’s not just her… it’s Jenna too… and Mona. Evelyn, I might not be the right person to go after. I can’t promise you I can devote everything I have to you cause it’s impossible for me right now.”

“I knew that when I came, but I still went after you, didn’t I?” Evelyn smiles and reaches out and strokes your arm. “I guess my sister and I aren’t that different. We’re both after guys who are constantly alike…”

A silence comes over as she stands in front of the hotel room. Evelyn turns her back to you and unlocks her door. She stands in the doorway and looks behind suggestively, smiling. The door begins to closes on you and Evelyn leaves you teasingly with, “Good night Matt. You know where to find me.”

You grit your teeth and resist the urge to knock on her door and ask to be let into the promised land. Sighing, you walk to your room, which was a couple of meters ahead and to the right. You softly tap your forehead against the wood and reach for your key. Before you went to open it, a thought occurred that you wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight without seeing Paige. You look around and remember the production team was no longer following you.

If you were to sneak out of the hotel... you could possibly find a way to Hospital Del Mar and visit Paige.

What would they do if they caught you? I mean, you weren’t exactly a prisoner, right? Was it against your contract? You didn’t care.

You take the elevator and head to the maître d’.

“Hi. My phone isn’t working right now. Can you call me a taxi or an uber to drive me to Hospital Del Mar?” You ask the mustached middle-aged man who handled the hotel reception.

“Why, of course. Do you have a medical emergency?” The man, nameplate labeled Mateo, asked in a thick Spanish accent.

“Umm… no… well, not myself. I have to visit a friend there,” You say.

“I was under impressions from your company that you weren’t to leave the hotel, sir…” Mateo says regretfully.

“Look, I get it. I just need to go visit her real quick and then come back. I also don’t have money, so if you can bill the company for the ride… that’d be great.” Your eyes plead with him. You wish at that moment you can convey how important it was to you.

Mateo picks up the phone on his desk, thinks about it, and then dials, You speak up, “Please, sir. If you call the company, then they won’t let me go. It’s a very important matter. It's... someone I love."

A couple of seconds later, Mateo babbles in Spanish and then hangs up and says with a compassionate smile, “the car will be ready for you outside. You need no worry about paying the fare as we will bill the production company. We here at the hotel wish you well and your friend a good recovery. Barcelona after all... is the city of lovers.”

Relief washes over you, and you let out a deep breath and shake Mateo’s hand.

You had a girl to see.
