No Strings Attached

Hit The Road Jack

Monday Morning 10:45 am:

The sun is blazing on the streets and highways of Dallas, and Kiana Kamile is speeding to get out of Houston. She reaches a local motel and parks. She opens her door and gets out of her car inspecting the area. "Well Ki, your not in Houston anymore." She walks into the lobby and goes up to the check-in clerk. "Aye bum..you got a room for one?" The clerk looks at her with disgust. "Yeah we got a room for ya, the deposit is fifty dollars plus the cost of the room." Kiana pulls out her wallet. "Well how much we talking?", she says as she raises one eyebrow. "Three hundred dollars plus the deposit is three hundred fifty." She pulls out four hundreds and hands it to the clerk. "I want my fifty dollars back please." She looks at him with a smile. The clerk gives her the key to her room and her change. She walks to her room and gets a call as she enters. She looks at the caller ID and sees her ex's name pop up. She answers the call.

"Kiana where are you?"

"First off hello and second I went out of town for a week..why what's wrong?"

"Did you hear what happened to Anthony? Apparently it happened around your apartment."

"Yeah i know...."

"Anyways, where did you go?"

"Dallas, don't come looking for me like you always do."

"Awe Ki you know me so well."

"Mhmm boy get off my damn phone."

She hangs up and lays down on the bed. Kiana turns on the TV and walks up to the mirror by the nightstand. "I hope they don't connect it to me." She walks into the restroom and takes off her clothes. "I guess a nice warm shower should clear my mind." She turns on the water and gets in. Kiana lathers herself in soap and water, washing every inch of her body.

Monday Afternoon 1:23pm:

Kiana sits in a chair, towel wrapped around her hair and body, thinking about her next step. Suddenly, she gets a knock at the door. She gets up with quickness and searches for her comfort clothes. "Who is it?", she says as she struggles to put on her top. "Its Vic...open up." Kiana hurries to put on her pants. "Vic what the fuck are doing here...how the hell did you find me here." She hops to the door, still trying to put on her pants. "This is the first motel i seen ...and the clerk told me." She opens the door with her hand on her face. "Fucking dumbass clerk doesn't he understand customer privacy." Victor looks down at Kiana as she moves her hair out of her face. "Sooo are you going to let me in?" She moves out the way and cracks the door open wider. He walks in and makes himself at home on her bed. "So what moves you to Dallas?" She sits on the other side of the bed and turns around to him. "I just needed a change in scenery...that's all." "Now we both know that's not true Ki." Kiana gets up and crosses her arms. "Well I had to get away from school and when I first heard about Anthony...I had to go." Victor gets up and hugs Kiana as she wipes her face. "Don't be so hard on yourself, he was a jerk anyways." She looks up at him and does a side smile.

 Monday Evening 8:06 pm:

Kiana and Victor talk amongst each other on the bed and Victor holds her hand tightly. "Victor what are you doing?" He gets up and grabs her, pushing her against the wall with both hand up. He looks into her eyes and starts to smile. "I missed you." She tries to break his grip but ends up falling into his gesture. "I missed you too." He leans in for a kiss and she doesn't hold back. Still holding her down, Victor moves down from her lips to her neck. Kiana starts to move again. "Victor..I don't think that's a good idea." He lets her go and stares at her suitcase. "Is this about how I cheated on you with ..I told you i was stupid and sorry-." Kiana shushes Victor and walks slowly to the door. "What's wrong?" Kiana looks through the peephole. She sighs in relief. "My bad i thought i heard something." Victor walks up to her and kisses her cheek. "Dammit Vic, I just told you I don't feel like it." He backs off. "Well let me get my bag, because i am not letting you be here alone." She looks at him with her jaw dropped to the floor as he walks out the door. He comes back with two bags and drops them down at his feet at the door. "Let me stay here with you, I want to help you and better our relationship." Kiana grabs his two bags and sets them in a chair. "Ugh, I can't stand you but fine. Don't try anything funny" He smiles and walks to the bed. "Well i guess we are going to share a bed.", he says this with a smirk. "Hell no, dogs sleep on the floor sir." He grabs two blankets and a pillow. "I said I was sorry." She gives him a death stare. "If you wanted to be together so bad, you wouldn't have done it in the first place." He smacks his lips and lays down on the floor. Kiana gets into bed and dims the lights. "Goodnight Vic." "Goodnight Ki." They close their eyes and fall asleep.
