Being in LA to try to start new after the closing of Briarcliff, former nun Mary Eunice found herself entering the hotel Cortez. Glancing around the lobby she smiled softly at the woman behind the front desk and made her way over.
"Hello, are there any vacancies here ma'am?" She questioned in her soft, warm voice.
Nodding sharply at the young woman, Iris grabbed the sign in book and directed her to sign in while she reached for a key. "How long are you looking to be staying here girl?"
"I'm not entirely sure yet, how much is it a night?" Mary asked as she signed the book. Looking back at the woman. She chewed her lip as she thought of how much she had in her purse and if she could even afford more than one nights worth.
"For the first night, $30 but after just come talk to me and we can work something out. You look like you have a story. And not a good one" A new voice said behind Mary.
Turning quickly Mary stared in shock at the woman in front of her, " that's very kind of you ma'am but I can't accept that. Let me pay for the first two nights please." She begged lightly.
"Liz, I don't know if the countess would like that." Iris stated as she handed over the key to room 56.
Rolling her eyes Liz smiled at Mary Eunice before looking over her shoulder to Iris. "Let me handle her, it's not like she's up to date with our finances. Besides if anything it can come out of my pay." Laying a hand on the blondes shoulders she continued. "Besides it looks like she has a story and who are we to turn away someone we can help. Especially after everything we've done in our lives how could helping someone hurt us?"
Nodding along to her reasoning Iris just wished Mary a good evening and walked away. During the whole exchange Mary Eunice stood confused watching the two women talk like a tennis match until Liz finally won.
Once the older woman left she turned to Liz, "thank you so much" her voice sounded soft and weak with emotion as she tried desperately not to cry with gratitude over the woman's kindness.
Seeing her struggle Liz wrapped her in her arms and hugged her gently for a moment then pulled away. "Let's get you something to drink honey. What do you want?" She asked as she headed towards the bar.
Feeling a blush coming Mary replied, " anything is okay, I've never had anything but communion wine before ma'am."
Making the young blonde a martini another blonde came and sat next to her. "What's a girl like you doing in a dump like this?" The crimped hair blonde asked.
Blushing more Mary Eunice smiled shyly and simply said she needed a place to stay. "I'm Mary Eunice McKee. It's a pleasure to meet you miss." She stuck her hand out and bit her lip waiting for the blonde in the leopard print jacket to reply.
"Sally McKenna at your service sugar." Sally winked as she shook the younger blondes hand. "Tell me Mary Eunice, what do you do for fun?" Sally asked, blowing smoke in the young woman's face.
Normally smoke being blown in her face would be off putting, but from the woman next to her Mary didn't find it so bad. "I don't do much, I mostly read or walk around. I don't have much experience when it comes to fun." Feeling self-conscious of herself, Mary Eunice looked down at her martini and took a small sip before coughing.
"Careful dear, it's a bit on the strong side for you." Liz called out from the other side of the bar as she helped another customer.
Giggling at the younger woman's obvious inexperience in alcohol Sally slid her drink over, "Try this." She whispered seductively in her ear.
Nodding slowly, Mary reached for the drink and took a small sip humming as she found the taste to be much better than her martini. "What is this?" She asked as she took another sip.
Grinning, the older blonde took Mary's drink and took a drink before replying. "It's called a screwdriver. It's good isn't it sugar."
Getting closer to the former nun, sally reached out and took her hand. "Lets go finish these in my room and get to know each other better." She winked as she stood up pulling her new 'friend' up with her.
Mary followed Sally giggling as the older blonde led her to the elevators. once inside she was hypnotized by the soft yet wild brown eyes in front of her. 'What am I doing. I've never felt like this before' She thought, unknown to her though Sally was thinking similar thoughts. 'Why does this one feel different than the rest.'
Reaching her room, Sally ushered Mary in and quickly had her pinned against the door after closing it. Kissing up her neck to her lips Sally kissed Mary hungrily. Shocked, Mary kissed back but stopped herself after a moment and pushed Sally away from her.
"Sally stop please. I've never done this and I don't want a one night as my first." She admitted with a blush creeping up on her face. Staring innocently at her, Mary pushed herself off the door and faced away from her. "I think I should go, thank you for the night Sally. I enjoyed it, and I'm sorry if I've disappointed you."
Not hearing a word from the other woman Mary opened the door and left letting tears fall down her face. 'She doesn't even care, she just wanted to use me like everyone else. You're nothing Mary Eunice. You're just another failure.' Mary thought as she walked to her room hoping to get there before she completely broke down at her thoughts. 'I should've known she wanted more than to get to know each other. I'm such a stupid naive girl, that's all I'll ever be.'
Meanwhile in her own room Sally was staring at the spot previously occupied by the former nun and let her tears fall freely not bothering to hide them. "FUCK!" She screamed when she realized why this woman was different. She actually wanted emotions not just a quickie. "Fuck why did I let her go. She could actually be my one."
Running after the younger woman Sally pounded on her door screaming her name. "Mary open this damn door right now or I'm coming in!"
Hearing the pounding and the screams, Mary quickly wiped her tears and walked cautiously over to the door. "Go away Sally, you made it clear what you wanted and I'm not it anymore." She replied meekly, her voice betraying her words.
"Mary Eunice, I told you to either open or I would let myself in. Now listen to me." Sally's voice came from behind her causing her to jump and let out a tiny scream in reply.
"H-how did you get in here?" Her frightened eyes stared at the woman in front of her.
Hands held in the air, Sally walked closer to her. "I'll tell you later but all you need to know is that I don't want a one night with you sweetheart. I want you forever." Sally's voice was soft and soothing to the younger woman, however she felt like something evil was in front of her.
"What are you Sally?" Mary's voice took on a stronger intent than when she previously asked. Sighing, Sally sat on the bed and patted the spot next to her. After Mary sat on the bed closer to the edge than to herself Sally began to tell her story. About how she died and has lived in this hotel for too many years and that she has been searching for that one that wont leave her and how she felt Mary was that one considering she didn't just was sex from her.
"So you see Mary, I don't want just a one night. I want eternity with you. I want you with me always but I understand of you're not wanting that and I'm sorry. I'll leave you alone and wont let anyone or anything hurt you, I swear." Fresh tears streaked down the beautiful ghost's face as she cried for another lost love.
Feeling herself tear up Mary reached over and grasped Sally's hand. "I've never done anything like this before but I feel like with you I can do anything. Please never leave me."
Smiling at her confession Sally gently kissed Mary on the lips and whispered against them, "Never my love, never."
And with that, the two laid in bed talking all night about how they would make it possible to be together and about what the future holds.
I know I made them a bit out of character, but I felt like for the plot sally had to have a softer side to her. Plot - Have Mary Eunice show up to the hotel, meet Sally and run before they have sex and sally running after her saying she's the one.- Hopefully I did okay with this one, I was switching between this and another story of mine. I'm not very happy with it so I might edit it a bit later but hers the Sally and Mary story
