Song: Walk through Hell- Anson Seabra

Eli:

It's been so long since I have talked with her but she is always on my mind. I never planned on being out here this long. It just seems when I get going good something happens and I end up having to stay longer. I could easily leave out for a few days and then come back but I know once I am back there, there is no way in hell that I will ever come back here. I have tried to get over her but no matter what I do I can't shake her out of my thoughts.

Hell I have even hooked up with other girls just to prove to myself that I can let her go but I can't. No one compares to her. These other girls mean nothing to me. I put on a good show everywhere I go. I meet up with other business men and fix them up and they love me for what I can offer them and their company as well as their pleasure.

Tonight I am headed to Enchanted Cherries. I didn't realize my dad wanted to open up another strip club but I wanted this one to have my touch to it and be able to offer it to men and women with the same desires. I do have nights for men only and Wednesday are for women only but the weekends are for everyone to come out and have fun.

I have to meet with a guy who wants me to set something up for his business associates. I make sure I have the right girls on hand for them to view. If all goes well they will want my services for a later time. Making money in this is a breeze.

While we are sitting there the lights go down and I hear Logan come over the intercom to introduce a new girl. I know for a fact that we don't have a new girl. I ignore it at first but as the music plays and I hear the crowd in an uproar and I have to see for myself what is being taken place on my stage.

The girl is a little thin blonde but has curves just in the right places. She knows how to put on a show that is for sure. There is something about her that catches my eye. I can tell she is a little new at stripping but she does it with ease and doesn't show her nerves. As she twirls and moves it's like I have seen this girl dance before. When she turns around, I admire her backside. The girl has a nice firm ass and I can tell she takes very well care of her body. As my eyes scan over her I happen to notice a scar on her leg close to her ankle. What the actual fuck!

When she turns back around she is slowly teasing the crowd and flings her bra into the crowd. There is no way she will show them her breast, but in that very moment of thought she does it. I feel the heat rise into my chest and my veins feel like they are on fire. What the fuck is she doing? I grip the railing until I want to fucking snap it into. She for sure has gotten my attention. When the music ends she stops to look right up at me and blows a kiss at me. Oh...she has definitely gotten my attention.

I take off down the stairs and towards the back part of the stage. I see the blonde wig laying in the floor; Violet always disguising herself so she won't be noticed. I shake my head as I pick it up and continue searching for her. As I walk into the dressing room the girls stop and stare at me. "Where the fuck did she go?"

"Who...the cute little blonde...she took off through the back door."

"Son of a bitch!" I yell in frustration. I head out and jog to the back door that leads to the back alley and she is nowhere out there. She fucking gets my attention and then just takes off like that. I kick the first thing I see and the metal trash can goes slinging across the alley as trash scatters all around. I go back in and have to finish up the meeting.

"I'm sorry something has come up. Please stay, have another round on me and have a good time. I'm sure my girls will make you happy." I say trying not to sound rushed about it even though I need to leave immediately or she will be gone forever.

I head out and start calling her. Of course she is not going to pick up the damn phone. I drive around town hoping to spot her but I know she is long gone. I look at the App on my phone to track her location and of course she has hers turned off. So I do the next thing. He picks up on the first ring.

"What the fuck is she doing here? Could you not have warned me that she was coming?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Violet...what the hell is she doing here. She showed up at the club and put on a fucking show and just disappeared. Where is she staying?"

"She left a note saying she was going to New York for a couple of days, she never mentioned going out to California?"

"Yeah...well she is here or was here. I tried to get to her and she's gone. I looked up her location on her phone and she must have the location app turned off. I thought maybe you guys knew what hotel she was staying at."

"No I don't but I will get right on it. When I find out I will let you know."

"Thanks. In the meantime I will call around to the hotels to see if I can find her that way."

I hated calling her dad on this matter. I knew he would be pissed off at her and now that I know she even lied to them about where she was going, I knew for sure they would be. I hang up with him and start calling around town. When I finally found the one she was at, I took off to see her.

The hotel is one of the finest here in the area and I know she paid a pretty penny to stay here. I walk in as if I own the damn place. "Excuse me ma'am...my fiancé Violet Adler was to check in earlier today and I am here to surprise her. Can you please tell me what room she is in?"

The older woman gives me a glare above her reading glasses. She eyes me up and down and then rolls her eyes. "If she was your fiancé wouldn't she give you the room number?"

"Ahh...yes she would...she told me I just got the number a little mixed up in my head sometimes. I didn't want to knock on the wrong door." I look down at her golden name tag and smile. "Emily! What a beautiful name it suites you well. Look Emily don't you believe in romance. Come on I just want to surprise my lady."

She lets out a long sigh, "This is against the rules you know but I guess this one time will be alright. She is room eighteen-twenty."

"Of course she is on the top floor...nothing but the best for my girl. Thank you for your trouble." I hand her a hundred dollar tip. She smiles and slides it off the counter to place in her pocket.

I head straight for the elevator doors. I tell the elevator man that I need the eighteenth floor and he smiles and pushes the button for me. When the doors open, I step out and walk down the long hallway towards her suite. Of course she doesn't answer the door. I bang louder, enough to wake up the whole damn floor. When she doesn't answer I head back down to the lobby to see if I can get a key to the room. When I get back into the elevator, the guy looks over at me and pushes the button to go back down. I pull out my phone with a picture of her.

"Hey...you been here all night right?"

"Yes sir, I have...get off at seven."

I hold my phone out for him to see a picture of her. "Have you seen this girl?"

"Ahh...Ms. Adler...pretty lady. She came back I guess over an hour ago and got her things and left. She had her belongs so I assume she checked out. She seemed a little upset and was in a rush as if something must have happened."

"So she left."

"Yes sir...pretty sure about it. Like I said she was in a rush. You can ask the doorman he may know where she took a cab too."

"Ahh...great suggestion, thank you."

When the doors open, I step out and make my way to the entrance. The guy holds the door open for me. I stop and show him my phone as well. The picture of her is in her natural state, with her beautiful raven hair. She has a thin layer of makeup and her eyes sparkle back with excitement. I remember taking the picture of her right after we had made out. I clear my mind as I ask him, "This is my fiancé she left not too long ago; do you happen to know if she took a cab and where too?"

"Why yes sir...she took our personal limo actually. Tom is on call for tonight. He is right there." He points over to one of the limos. "He should be able to tell you where he took her."

I walk over and knock on the driver side window. He steps out. "May I take you somewhere sir?"

"No...I was wondering where you dropped off Ms. Adler. She is my fiancé and we had a bit of a disagreement. I was wanting to apologize to her."

"I dropped her off at the airport. She seemed a little upset. She was in a rush to get out of here. Hell man what did you say to her?"

"Nothing!" I'm not about to tell him my issues. I get back in my car and head out towards the airport. There are so many fucking flights out of here and there is no way in hell that I will find her. I stand at the main counter and look at who is working for the night and pick the one that I think will give me the information that I need. She is an average looking girl, with glasses and her hair is nicely combed. She looks a little lonely and maybe even a huge romantic. I put on my biggest smile for her.

"Hi!"

"Good morning sir, how may I help you?" She glances up with a smile and then back down at the computer screen in front of her.

I look at her silver name tag and then glance back up at her. "Marie...I was wondering if you could help me out?"

"That is what I am here for sir. What is your destination this early morning?" She stops and looks back up at me, waiting for me to reply back.

"I am destined to be with the love of my life." My smile turns into a pout and I give her this sad eyes. "You see we had a little argument and I think I broke her heart. I need to catch her before she vanishes into thin air. She checked in not even an hour ago and I need to stop her before she makes the biggest mistake of her life."

I watch as her hands cross over her heart and she looks back at me with lustful eyes. "I...I wish I could help you sir but...I can't give out names."

I let my eyes cast the floor and pout even more. "I understand. I was hoping I could make things right with her before she left. Come on Marie, wouldn't you want that if you and your fellow got into it, wouldn't you want him to come sweep you off your feet."

"I...I...don't have a fellow." She looks around with a long a pause. "But if I did, yes I would want him too." She looks up some information on the computers. She glances around to see if anyone is watching and then she winks at me. "Ms. Adler got tickets for flight two-sixteen headed to New Orleans on the five am flight."

"God you are a fucking angel...thank you so much, I owe you one Marie. Are there any seats left?" I slide her a hundred dollar bill and wink at her. You are the best."

"There happens to be a few in coach...I can get you one for two hundred and thirty five since late notice."

I hand her another three hundred and smile back at her. "Keep the rest...thanks." I take off down the long massive hall way. I keep glancing up at all the flight displays for the right terminal to take. I am almost late as I run around the corner and hand the lady my ticket. I hate flying coach but being last minute and all it will have to do. As I board the plane I look for her but I don't see her anywhere, so I assume she is in first class.

Once up in the air, I take off my seatbelt and stand up. I try to make my way up front and of course I am stopped and told to go back to my area. I tried playing the same card with her but this woman is not having it. I go back and sit down. Once the plane lands I try to be the first one off but due to where my seat is located that for sure is not going to happen. I am standing in the aisle looking out the window when I see her walking in the building. If these people don't move along I am going to come unglued. By the time I do make it to the main building, I take off running in hopes to find her but she is already gone. I start searching everywhere and it's like she just fucking disappeared and then in the corner of my eyes I see her going out the front door. I take off running. Instead of going down the escalator the normal way, I run down it.

I watch as she grabs a taxi and I jump in the next one available. I yell at the guy and hand him a hundred. "Follow that cap, don't lose them."

He does a great job keeping up and once at the hotel, he parks right behind the other. I wait for her to get out and go in before I get out. I stand far enough behind and watch her check in. I walk up to the main desk and ask if they have a room for tonight. "Yes...I am here at the last moment and was hoping that you might have availability for tonight."

"I'm sorry sir we are completely booked for tonight."

"Of course you are. My fiancé she just checked in a few moments ago, Ms. Adler. Could you possible tell me what room she is in?"

"Sir...we are not allowed to do that. I am sorry sir."

"Yeah...me too." I turn around to leave and notice the bar off to the side. I go over and order a drink and sit and wait. Surely she won't be in her room all day. I was wrong...she was in there for over six hours. So long that I was asked to leave the bar, so I walk out and sit across the hotel to wait on her.

When she comes out she is wearing a pair of jeans with a plain shirt. She has her hair thrown up in a messy bun and once out in the sun she slides on a pair of sunglasses. She smiles at the guy that holds the car door open for her. As she climbs in, I grab a cab to follow her. We end up at some retirement home. I can't figure out why in the hell we are here of all places.

The fucking cab driver is getting impatient so, I get out and wait across the street. She stays for hours and then leaves. I don't follow her because I know what hotel she is staying at. I check around the city to see who has a room for the next few nights and happen to find one just down the road from where she is staying.

I'm back watching her. I need to be at work taking care of business but she has gotten my attention. What the hell is she up to? I call Mekhi again.

"I followed her down to New Orleans. I'm not sure what she is up to. Do you want me to confront her or just follow her?"

"Keep an eye on her. What the hell is she doing there?"

"I have no clue sir, maybe just taking time for herself." I don't tell him about the retirement home. I need to figure out what the hell she is up to first.
