"You sure you wanna do this honey," A lady with short hair asked while holding three tubs of ice cream, soda, gum, and Cheetos. "Yes I'm sure, I'm just going through something right now and I need food"I faked and laughed but she just stared at me blankly. The lady then proceeded with scanning the Items. After paying I hopped into the car and started going through the grieving and denial faze of my break up how could he do this to me? I loved this man. After 2 tubs of ice cream and half an hour of crying had decided  that cutting off some of my hair was a great idea so the next stop was the hair salon then the airport i could not let those tickets go to waste.

The lights were prettier than social media had shown them to look like the bright light had blinded me but I didn't care. People were laughing and chatting about different things I walked into the total to be greeted by warmth and people slotting coins into the machines. Some looked like they were on business.

I walked to the receptionist  while observing the place she looked like she was around her late twenties she  blonde hair she had a scarf around her neck and greeted me with a warm smile

"How may I help you ?" she asked "Oh hey I'm here for a reservation made by  Hazel Fisher " I smiled. "Oh ok, your room is 295 here's your key, don't lose your key". she said in a demanding voice meaning she was serious I walked into the elevator and rubbed my neck from the pain and  checked my phone

Alice: I'm so sorry to come back (+27 messages)

Robert: That was dramatic                                                                                                                                                Look I didn't know u did all this for me(+5 messages)

I switched it off completely, the elevator stopped and opened I walked to my Hotel room. I opened the door to revile a quiet large room with a kitchen. I walked into the room and walked down the tiny passage there was a bathroom and a queen-sized bed I jumped onto the bed sighing. To be honest it felt like heaven.

After a  soothing shower, I decided to go downstairs to drink away my problems I saw a man wearing a shirt whose sleeves were rolled up to his elbows he was looking down at his drink.

I ordered six cups of tequila. Attempting to try to forget everything I endured in the last 24 hours. I glanced at my engagement ring he had brought a month ago I gave it to the nearest couple without thinking but I didn't care

I attempted to talk to the guy next to me.

"Hi". I said drinking the seventh cup. The guy didn't look at me but stared at his cup once again I pulled his drink away from him. He then looked at me but in anger." I'm not scared of you ". I quoted looking straight at him god did this guy look so handsome he could swallow me whole and I would still say thank you.

I observed the little tattoos on his neck which lead to the tattoos on his arm. His dirty blond hair fell carelessly over his forehead. His expensive Rolex watch hanging onto his veiny that had his 3 rings on. His grey piercing eyes observed every inch of me." Well, you should be". he stared into my soul he had a thick accent which I couldn't recognize what language it was from.

"Well, I'm not, who broke your heart ?". I asked without fear looking ahead of me and resting my head on my palms. He glared at me and then to the cup looking for an answer." I'm here on business, I don't date". he said in a cold yet calm tone "What business ?" my curiosity taking over.

"If I told you I would have to kill you " he answered finally finishing his drink and putting it down. "Let's have a deal if you tell me I will work for you". I said offering a hand to a shack "You can't handle the job". he chuckled

"And you can," I asked while giggling ."It's time for you to go now" he grabbed me and threw me behind his shoulder, and walked to the hotel rooms .At this point i was wasted and didn't know what i was doing.

"Why are you taking me, you know I can walk myself ".I blabbed while hanging from his shoulder ."Omg are you like massive" I asked because I remember watching a movie about a mafia leader falling for a girl. We walked into the elevator and pressed the level that my room was at. For no reason at all, I started dancing to the elevator music

"What are you doing, "He asked looking down at me he was huge and intimidating but I don't care I was having fun."I'm having fun you should try it sometime" I winked.

The doors finally opened showing the same old corridor with a bunch of doors with numbers on them. We walked past the doors in silence and made it to my room. I unlocked it and walked inside. I had spent my night with a man whose name I even know. I turned around to see an empty corridor I looked on both sides to see nothing.
