Enjoy your stay while you can.

I took off my blue sun hat as I got off the bus. I finally moved away from my parents. They were driving me insane. Their strict rules, early curfews, no privileges. I felt like a prisoner locked away with no key. But i made my own & left. I found a brand new apartment & a good job down in here Blackwood. Blackwood is the smallest town on the map. It's so small that you can't see it without a magnifying glass. I've heard about the job salaries & cheap apartments down here. I decided to try my luck. The town might be small but it has good rent prices. Cheap & beautiful, just the way I like it. I took out my phone to check for any new messages. I got an email from the landlord. I quickly opened it & read it.

"Hello Eve, I'm sorry to inform you but there's a very bad leak that has damaged your apartment. It will take at least two months to repair. Thank your for your time. And again, my apologies."

~Malvin.

Ugh, just fucking great! My new apartment is fucked up already. I was looking forward to see my beautiful apartment. What am I going to do? I can't sleep out in the streets. I have to find a hotel. Luckily, I looked up to see neon lights flashing before my eyes. The sign above said "Heartbreak Hotel". Thank god, there's a hotel here. I picked up my luggage & walked towards the hotel. As I step inside, I felt a strong cold breeze. I shivered & rubbed it off. There must be some AC problems. I went to the front desk & rang the silver bell. Hm, nobody came. I guess they're close. I picked up my luggage & was about to leave until I felt another strong cold breeze past me.

"May I help you?" A female's voice said.

I jumped a little & faced the beautiful woman that was staring at me. She wore a glamorous blue strapless dress with matching glittery heels. Her expensive sliver jewelry shined in the hotel light. Pink silk gloves soft like a pillow covered her buttery skin. Not to mention her strong features, it's magnificent. She looks beautiful.

"Hi, I want to order a room. You see my new apartment some how got flooded & I needed a place to stay until it's fixed."

"Well you came to the right place." The woman smiled elated. "Heartbreak Hotel is the best hotel in town. Everyone comes here to have a relaxing time & enjoy themselves."

"I can tell, it looks promising." I was so amazed by the decor. I should probably use this inspiration for my new apartment.

"How long are you planning on staying here?" She asked curiously.

"2 months."

Her eyes widen with joy, "Two months? Are you sure?"

"Yes, i'm sure."

"Well I'll be, you must be rich?" She rested her hand on her cheek clearly very intrigued.

"Something like that, I'm working as a model."

"A model? You do have the perfect body for a model." She complimented.

"Thank you, I try."

"Well since your staying here for two months. The cost is $200 a night." She said.

$200?"

"But since your a new customer, you get a discount. $99 a night." She quickly added.

"Okay, that will be fine."

I handed her my plastic credit card. I don't always tell people I'm rich because they'll probably take advantage of me. My father sends me money every week so I can survive out here. He doesn't think moving way out here is a good idea. He didn't bother to stop me either. At some point, you just have to let go and that's what he did.

"Here's your room key." She handed me the room key that was written in brown writing "10".

"Thanks." I picked up my luggage. She came around the desk & walked me down the hallway. The walls were painted red like blood everywhere. There were some white painting from the roofs to the floors. Each door painted brown with gold numbers nailed down. We finally reached room 10.  It had french doors. She opened it for me & stood back for me to observe. I gasped amazed by the room. It's marvelous in all the right places. A king-sized bed, full set of dressers, heart-shape red couch, old television, & a alluring gift basket.

"Wow, this is all too perfect."

"And it's yours for the next two months." She smiled.

"Once again, thank you."

"No, no, no, thank you." She smiled brightly.

I placed my bags on the bed still looking around. "You know this room is very special." She implied.

"Really? How so?"

"It belonged to a very famous person long time ago. She was the star of the town. A very prodigious woman." She said.

"Who?"

"Her name was "Miss. Alabama". She was famous for her stunning looks." She said.

"Wow, I didn't know that. I never caught your name."

"Miss. Thompson, Brenda Thompson." She stuck out her hand for me to shake it.

I shook it gracefully, "Eve Melina."

"What a beautiful name for a beautiful face. We have a club in the lobby room. It would be a pleasure for you to come there some time." She suggested.

"Sure, i'll be there."

"Great!" She walked towards the door. Before she closed the door, she turned around with a straight face.

"Enjoy your stay while you can." She said in a deep voice. The doors closed by itself making a big slam. I jumped, scared shitless by the disturbing moment. I stumbled towards the table trying to calm myself down. I took a deep breath. I need a hot relaxing bath. It's been a long day.
