Ailith

king sized mattress

I finally arrived at my hotel and I couldn't wait to just get some sleep. I got the key and started walking towards the elevators, the hotel looked very fancy and rich, it had white marble walls with golden accessories everywhere you looked. I specifically got a room at this hotel because one, it was close to my target and second, it had an amazing pool and since I was taking my time here anyways why not relax once in a while.

I saw the area where the elevators were but just my luck one was about to close, as much as I wanted to be alone I wasn't going to wait for another one.

"Hold it please!" I shouted praying that the person inside the elevator cared enough to hold it open.

It was just about to close when a hand came visible from the inside and didn't let the doors close. I speed walked to the elevator and it was that kind of super awkward speed walk like the kind where you would cross the road but a car would come so you don't know what to do so you just do that awful speed walk. At least I don't think anyone saw me.

The doors opened enough for me to squeeze myself in and I did just that. I didn't want to make eye contact at all so I just reached my hand out to press my floor which was the 39th and that was when I realised it was already red which meant someone already pressed it. I looked up at the person who let me in the elevator and saw a gorgeous man leaning on the wall in front of me. He had kind of tan skin, black short hair which was middle parted and when I looked at his eyes I saw that he was asian. His hair was also curly which made me so much more excited.

I stared at him for a couple of seconds and he didn't even look back at me, he just looked at the elevator doors.

"Are you going on the 39th floor?" I sounded like a 5 year old school girl. Great.

He didn't even bother replying so he just nodded.

Is he really ignoring me like that?

I didn't see the point in trying to start conversation because I already went out of my comfort zone to check him out and he flat out ignored me. I wish Parker was here, as much as I wanted peace and quiet, I also didn't want to be alone. There's a line between lonely and alone. I didn't have many friends growing up and neither did he, I was always ashamed of my dad because whenever i'd have a new friend over at a play date he would have some sort of a meeting which made him angry and we could hear him smashing things from another room. I just wish I had grown up in a usual and normal family.

The ding told us that we had arrived on our floor, I stepped out first and started making my way to the room I was supposedly staying at. He's walking right behind me and I can't help but think if he's from a rival assassin organization who wants something, you know that's the kind of thoughts you have every time someone walks behind you.

I spot my door on the right at the end of the hallway, I lean on it to swipe my card, I see the man walking past me and lean on a wall to the left, nice he's in the room right opposite me. I hear the beeping of the door and don't waste any time getting in slamming the door behind me.

Who the hell does he think he is? Why the fuck did he ignore me? Does he think he's so fucking important he can't even mumble a yes or something?

I feel the rage and anger moving around from my stomach to my arms and legs, whenever I get mad I need to move around and right now I'm pretty mad. Without thinking I grab a lamp from the coffee table and throw it full force at the door imagining he's standing in front of it having that stupid look on his face. The lamp crushes into a thousand pieces and I don't want to clean any more mess up so I just sit on the king sized bed and take a deep breath. I fall on my back and feel the comfortable soft mattress hugging me into it. I close my eyes and listen if I can hear anything, the only thing I hear is my deep breathing and feel the soft bed inviting me to sleep. My eyelids are heavy and my head feels like lead, my hands are aching and my feet are dead, I finally give up and accept the warm invitation and I fall asleep.

"You're weird."

I jump up and see the guy from earlier standing in front of my bed.

"H-how did you get in?" It was a stupid question but come on give me a break.

"I don't know. Figure it out yourself." He had one of the deepest voices I've ever heard and he also had an accent I couldn't figure out. After finishing his last sentence he takes a huge step towards me purposely making his whole body shake to make me think like he was about to attack me. Unfortunately that worked and I pushed myself over the bed my back facing the balcony door and him standing in front of the door from which I usually could get out.

"What did you do to the lamp?" He asked pointing to the lamp and then looking back at me.

"It fell." I blurted out, I was uncomfortable with him in my room and I haven't felt this defenceless for years.

He took long but slow steps towards me and backing up I felt the handle of the balcony door against my back, I took the opportunity and opened the balcony door. It was warm outside and despite me falling asleep it was still decently light outside so I guess I hadn't been sleeping for a while.

I stumbled onto the balcony floor and he still kept walking to me having a stone cold expression painted on his face.

He stepped onto the balcony as well so I cornered myself against the railing. I felt like he was going to kill me with he's looks.

He was now around 3 feet away but still not slowing down, I put my palms on the railing hoping to grip something that I wouldn't fall. I only now noticed how tall he was, he had to be around Parkers height so 6'2 something. He was now a few inches away from my face, I could hear his calm breathing next to my shaky breaths.

He ran his palms down my thighs and grabbed from behind my knees, he brought both my legs up in a split second and I lost balance. My hands let go of the railing while his hands didn't hold my legs anymore, I was falling. I was really falling off the 39th floor.

Well this isn't exactly how I planned to die.

Everything was in slow motion, I could feel the wind brushing my hair, but although I was falling for death I felt the most free I've ever felt. It's amazing.

This is it, this is the most freeing death I could ever experience.
