I woke up slowly the next morning stretching and rubbing my cheek against Mathew's broad muscular chest. He was so warm and I think if I was a cat I would have purred. He smiled down at me and I looked up at him with a smile on my face. He leaned down to kiss me slowly.
"Good morning to you too." I said on a throaty laugh. Mathew rolled out of bed and I watched as he slipped on clothes . He kissed me on the cheek after he was dressed and he told me he had ordered breakfast for me and that it would be here shortly. I watched as he was leaving the room with a smile on my face. I pulled the sheet over me and then I looked over as he told me.
"Don't leave the hotel room. I mean it Myla don't go anywhere. I will only be gone long enough to deal with some business . I will be back as soon as possible so feel free to order lunch." He said sternly and then he left.
As soon as he left I rushed to put my hair up and a dress on. I watched Mathew walk down the hallway and I went off in the opposite direction. i only had one place in mind and it was right across the street.
As I entered the Saloon and Brothel I shivered from a non existent chill from just looking at the crystal chandeleirs and cypress wooden floors along with the velvet covered booths by the bar that was my prison for almost two years. My warden was John. God only knew where he was . Erina spotted me almost instantly and she rushed over to me grabbing my shoulder dragging me to the nearest dark corner . I studied her shoulder length curly chocolate brown hair.
"What the hell are you doing here Myla? You have a chance to get away from here and you come back? Why?"
"Shhhh Erina I am not staying I just had to come back for a few things. Trust me I have no plans to stay. "
Erina looked like she didn't beleive me but she nodded in acceptance. I held her hand and led her to my rrom . I busted open the door and the only thing I grabbed was a small duffel bag with everything important to me was already in it. I knew this day would come. A day where I escaped. I hefted the small bag over my shoulder and I reached into my pillow case pulling out crumpled bills of paper money. I stuffed the money in Erina's hand and kissed her cheek. I looked into her deep golden eyes and said .
"Here take this money . i am taken care of now. I will come back for you but if I can't get you out of this place before something happens to me take this money and buy a train ticket for as far as that money will take you. I love you and I will see you soon."
I kissed her cheek then I left. The only thing I looked back missing was my friend that had gotten me through so much. I looked back and she watched me leave with tears streaming down her face . At the sight of her crying I made a vow to both of us I would get her out of here. I had to.
