I reach the door to the Hotel and pull it open. Standing in the doorway I search for the clerk and run up to her but just when I do I bump into something and fly back towards the door. I place my head in my hands trying to collect myself
"I'm so sorry miss,I didn't mean to knock you down are you all right?" I hear a man say from above me. When I look up I see a man with extremely curly hair with a sparkly black band holding it out of the left side of his face and making it fall on his right side. He holds out his hand to me and I take it allowing him to help me up.
"What happened babe?" He asks reaching out to touch my face but I pull away from him.
"Its a very long story, I would love to tell you but I need to get a room right now" I say giving him a small smile and running back towards the counter where the lady was standing.
"Hello, how may I help you tonight?" She asks

"Um , I kinda need a room tonight ,its an emergency" I say out of breath
" Would you like the suite with two beds one bath and two rooms" the lady asks

"How much would that be?"
"$180 a night including free breakfast"

I pull out my money from the bottom of my shoe and count out seventy dollars

" Is that the cheapest room you have?"
"Yes, all our other ones are taken" she replies

"Well all I have is - - -" I was cut off by the sound of clicking heels against the floor coming up behind me

"She will take it" the guy from before says handing her the money
"Um ,its alright I can just find another hotel" I tell him
" can you give her suite 107?" He asks the lady
"Yes anything for a star like you" she says blushing and handing him the keys

"Can I at least get your name?" I ask

"My name is Rodger Nelson ,but you can call me Prince if you would like" he says with a seductive smile

"My name is Nikole" I awkwardly say

We get on the elevator and he presses the fifth button. When we get off he leads me to room 106. And tells me to sit on the white couch in the front room.

" I thought you told the lady room 107?" I ask a little scared

" Well we gotta clean your face up first" he says sitting next to me with a bottle of drinking alcohol and paper towels.
" will you allow me?" He asks

I think for a moment and then nod my head allowing him

" this may sting love" he says before placing the towel to my busted lip. I wince and grip his wrist

"Its alright" he says humming some random tune to me

He continues by cleaning the dry blood off of my face
"All done " he says grinning, I let go of His wrist and smiled back at him
"Thank you Prince"
"You are always welcome" he says gently grabbing my arm and leading me next door to my room
"Now, if there is anything you need at all please don't hesitate to come next door. I will be back in the morning to take you to breakfast alright?"
"But I don't have all of the money to pay you back I might have to go and get it tomorrow"
"From where? I thought it was an emergency?" He asks concerned

" it is , and I rather not tell you who I work for" I say looking down in embarassment.
" look at me Nikole..." I look up

"I don't know what happened to you but would you feel better if we talked about it in the morning over breakfast?"

At this moment I feel as if there is something about Prince that I feel I can trust, I feel as if there was anyone in the world that I could count on with my life it would be him. He barely even knows me for an hour and has already done and cared so much for me. I can trust him with my story.
"Of course, you really don't know how much I appreciate this. Thank you so much." I say hugging him before I go into my room that he had paid for. I take a warm shower and use the citrus soap from the sink to clean my other cuts and bruises that Prince didn't see. I dry off and begin to hand wash my other clothes in the bathtub with the hand soap from the hotel. When I finish I search the room for clothes hangers to dry my clothes on. I find a small one and hang my little black dress on it. I then place my undergarments near the heater and brush through my hair with my fingers while they dry.

Suddenly I hear a guitar coming from next door I figured Prince might have been playing or practicing before he went to bed or something so I walk over towards the wall that we share and sit next to it listening to the amazing sound coming from next door. 'No wonder that woman was blushing from earlier' I think to myself.
