I'm, I guess you'd say, on the run form a very bad situation back east. My ex was-is-a very jealous man. Had been from the day I met him. These guys looking at me when we walked in here? He would have been convinced that I wanted to fuck every one of them in the men's room. Early on, he would have just berated me for wearing skimpy clothes, whether they were or not. Later, he got physical; I've got the medical records to prove it. I got out and filed for divorce. He started stalking me and I got a restraining order. Of course, the logical response to that was to burn the house down with me in it. I barely got out and spent three weeks in intensive care for smoke inhalation. He was arrested, tried and convicted for attempted murder and got five years. As soon as he was taken to prison, I packed a bag and headed west. While waiting for trial, I used a headhunter to find a job in L.A. I figure I have at least a two year head start on that bastard, with time off for good behavior, and what helps me sleep is the thought that Neil might have a 300 pound black cellmate named Bubba whose personal heroes are The Village People.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Now, Neil is a very resourceful man, and I didn't want to leave a paper trail for him to follow when he gets out, so I pulled as much cash out of the bank as I could without actually closing it. I was going to use cash to get from there to L.A. But traveling has been much more expensive than I anticipated. Gas prices, oh my God! Motels, even the cheap ones, aren't any better. Food? I haven't had a decent meal in two days. I'm down to my last five dollars and less than half a tank of gas.\" She nearly choked on that confession. How could she have failed so badly?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe continued, \"I know how this is going to make me sound, but I need to raise enough money to get me to L.A. by Monday and I don't have any way to do it.\" She leaned back and spread her arms, \"What I have to sell is what you've already seen.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe leaned forward and looked him in the eye, \"To get to L.A., I'll be your whore for tonight.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe frowned at the word and played with his coke for a moment looking and the table, not wanting to meet her eyes. Oh God, she thought, he's going to walk away. Then he looked up and she said, \"Hold on\" as their food arrived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHe waited for the barmaid to leave, made certain she was gone, then said, \"Just for shits and giggles, what kind of money are we talking about here?\"","brand":"Connie Carr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47168261587184,"sku":"2940149789696","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149789696_p0.jpg?v=1763723185","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149789696","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
