We arrive at a hotel a couple hours later.
One of those hotels that people hide at when they don't want to be found. Where the rooms are smaller than a closet and you have to share with the rats or they will kick your ass.
Because the rats here are gangsters.
No matter how many roaches crawled out the bathroom I am going to take me a shower.....
And the water better be hot.....
And the soap better be complimentary.
__________________________________________________________________________
Minutes later I get out the shower.
Yes minutes.
It was supposed to be an hour.
Have you ever heard of a place only having hot water?
Seriously I thought it was the other way round.
I nearly steamed myself to death. I would've been a piece of broccoli and Erika I hope would have ate me with some cheese.
Preferably cheddar.
I grab a dingy looking towel and wrap it around me.
Probably just got all kinds of diseases.
When I walk out the bathroom, a few bags sit on the bed. A huge ass roach with wings hangs out on one of them.
I take the towel from around me and swat at it. It turns to look at me and hisses.....
The roach hisses....
It hisses....
I thought roaches don't make a sound.
It takes its sweet time crawling off the bag and before it crawls off the bed, it turns to look at me.....
We gon meet again.
Damn the roaches here are gangsta too.
When the roach goes about his business, I open the bags. A hairbrush and socks is in one of the bags. In another bag, I find some underwear, a bra, pants, a shirt and some converses.
The knockoff ones though.
They don't even have the star.
Bruh.
But I'm not one to complain.....much.
By the time I begin to put the last shoe on the doorknob starts to rattle.
I drop to the floor on the other side of the bed and grab the gun on the nightstand.
"Look whoever is out there I have a gun. I don't know how to shoot it but I'm sure I would hit something. So I very kindly ask you to go to another room or leave the hotel completely."
The door squeaks open and my eyes squeeze together as I brace myself to shoot at the intruder.
"Woah,woah,woah." A familiar voice says.
"Erika!" I slowly say. I peel one of my eyes open just to be sure and it is her.
"ERIKA!" I yell as I leap across the bed.
"Oomph!" She grunts as I wrap my arms around her.
"I'm so happy it's you. I thought they were here for me."
She slowly pushes me off of her, "Don't worry about that they're not gonna find us here. I promise."
She gives me a weak smile.
Then I notice the bag in her hand and the smell.
"FOOD!?!" I exclaim.
"Food." She agrees.
Not just any food.
Chinese food.
Fried rice I just wanna let you know.
Oh I'm about to DIVE IN!!!
After we divide the food up, we sit in front of the Basic cable T.V. and watch reruns of Law and Order: SVU.
Detective Stabler is still to this day my boo.
"Erika, can you tell me about..... your life."
She stares at me hard for a long time.
"It ain't pretty." She finally says.
