vernon was looking right at me as the same look of hatred from before was shown all over his face. he clicked his fingers calling one man I've never seen before. ''take care of her'' was all he said before that man dragged me back to what now I knew it was a small room of a motel. the big neon sign that I could see outside my window was a dead giveaway to say at least. i was still dizzy from the drugs I took early but now I was able to stand up and check my surroundings. luckily for me the door wasn't locked. I started walking around just to see armed young men around the entire building. I could heard people having sex as I walked by some rooms trying to reach the reception. the place was so different from whatever i have ever seen in my entire life. once I entered the reception there was people smoking and talking as they carried guns. some guys injecting what it seemed like heroin into their veins, not so prude women crawled up to the men.

people having their d... oh my god. this was worse than any movie i have even seen. the scenario was completely strange and dangerous for me. vernon was right all along. I don't belong here. vernon? why would vernon be in a place like this? and i still needed to know what 'offer' those men were talking about. i walked around the place gaining looks from everybody in the room. I was obviously out of place, for my clothes, my appearance, my everything. I walked towards what seemed the lounge area, with a small bar and a pool table. there were some also armed man drinking and laughing as some of them were sniffing his noses down the table, cocaine. one of them, vernon. his eyes were lost, he had problems breathing in and a small smirk appeared onto his face when people started cheering him up for doing such act. he dust off some of it from his nose and looked my way. his breathing turned faster, looking at me with the same hatred look from before. before I could even say something a man grab my hand and toss me into the bathroom. i was scared, this dude seemed too high for my liking. he just smiled as he started dozing off. I heard a loud knock of the door. vernon open the door and motioned the guy to 'piss off'.

I was alone in a bathroom, once again, with vernon and we all know that never turns out good. the bathroom did had a sink, toilet, a cabinet and even a bathtub. I tried to avoid vernon's look as he started looking me from head to toe. he corned me and soon, I was lost into his hazel eyes again. I could felt his breath on me, the cold of his lips and skin. he didn't say much and just grab the back of my head and smack his lips on mine. his kiss was needy, as his hands traveled all over my body. he started kissing my neck with such force, I think he left some marks on it. he started removing his shirt and almost rip off mine. i could just stop him and ask him what was going on but his kisses were driving me insane. he continued his work on my neck until i felt a little pain from probably a hickey. he realised and stopped right away, he then went for my lips as i felt his hands slowly making its way to my butt. it wasn't the first time someone grabbed my butt while kissing, i mean, Jun had done it before but it didn't felt like this. I was in love and I was his, but soon his words filled my head. ''I'm not yours...'' it sadden me, but vernon cup my face on his hands and looked at me, it somehow made me believe what he said had changed. he continued kissing me, from my lips to my neck and then to my now exposed skin. vernon's hands moved to the back of my bra to unhook it when we heard another knock on the door.

''you got a call, sir...its him.''

''him?''

''wait for me in the same room you woke up in...''

''but...''

''presley...'' he looked at me with the lost puppy look i had miss so much. i decided to follow along and started dressing again when he lift up my chin.

''we'll finish this, tonight.'' finish 'this'? the only thought of what will happen in that small room in a motel with a exaggerated neon light sign got my legs shaking. I exited the bathroom, a tall armed guy looked at me raising a eyebrow but I decided to ignore him and walk away to the room. I took a last glance at vernon who were still looking at me while on the phone. he seemed hesitated on whatever he was speaking. as i was the same too, in my own thoughts at least. tonight, tonight it will be a life changing night for me.
