The Next 3 Days

Friendly Foes

Mikel looks at Lilian asleep and thinks about Monaé. She was the love of his life but his addiction was a greater love, clouding his judgement; why did he allow it to control him? Why did he allow Bill to control his family? The pain in his heart made it heavy. He was never religious but he was seeking forgiveness from a higher source, not God but someone, he was desperate and at this point he just wanted the burden gone; Mikel was taken out his self pity when Lilian spoke "What are you thinking about so hard chico?"
"I don't deserve to be happy. I deserve to be burned alive" Mikel spoke staring at the wall
"W-why would you say that?!" Lilian stammered
"I'm an awful person. I did some horrible things, you speak of the monster Bill is but the truth is you're sleeping with him all over again, the difference is I have a different name"
"You are nothing like Bill, Mikel. You-"
"YES I AM. DO YOU THINK HE GOT THOSE KIDS ALONE?" Mikel yelled and jumped Lilian. Startled she jumped out the bed putting on her clothes and grabbing her purse; Mikel still stuck in his position, staring lifelessly at the egg shell white hotel room wall, Lilian opens the door and around the corner she see's Bill before Bill could see her she slams the door and runs back inside.
"Oh dear god" she cries out
It was enough to snap Mikel back "what?"
"Bill is coming"
"What?" He says putting on clothes and pushing Lilian in the bathroom "Lock the door."
Not much longer he heard a knock on his door. He opens the door.
"Bill?"
Bill walks in " Called your office and your assistant said you'd be here"
"You couldn't say what you wanted over the phone?"
"Hell no. Are you trying to get me arrested. I'm a pedophile" he said lighting his cigar and chuckling "anyway I came to tell you the Koreans are coming in and they have 3 girls and 2 boys between the age of 9 and 14, we're meeting at the Lux Hotel over on 5th tomorrow at 6"
"Uh- not interested, but thanks."
"Huh?" Bill was confused "Since when do you turn down these offers?"
"Since I stopped getting hard thinking about it and started getting sick" Mikel retorted
"Aww. Look who grew a conscience and shrunk his cock" Bill teased "Come on M! When was the last time you had a tight pussy? Hm?"
"Not too long ago, now leave my room"
"You- you're seeing someone? And you haven't introduced us?" Bill smirked
"Never know, you may know her. Small place Brazil is." Mikel was being shady but Bill didn't have a clue
"I'm sure your whore isn't better than Nii" he takes out his phone and showed him a photo of a Korean girl, 12 years old.
Mikel was trying to ignore his stomach churning "She isn't a whore. I'm good. I'm also tired, so I'll call you later"
"Think about it. I'd hate to have all this fun without you"
They shook hands and Bill left.
Mikel locked the door and walked back to the bathroom and knocked "Lil?"
She opened the door "God. I thought he knew about the affair!"
"Run away with me" Mikel blurted
"What? Where?"
"We could go to Italy, I have a house there, or Australia, I have a villa there and estates"
"When?"
"We could go tomorrow, just say yes."
"Yes,Yes!" She agreed "You aren't anything like Bill, you want to change and I forgive you for your mistakes. We'll get through it. Together"
They share a kiss that once again leads to more.
