to take you (Elijah)

[sof]

’I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.’’ Analise kept on repeating this in front of her mirror as she got ready. She had received the call not so long ago telling where she was needed. While she hated her job most of the time where were times when it was not that bad. Some man were actually really only looking for someone to talk to, someone to keep them company and that was something she could easily do. Of course most of them were looking for sex, something else that Analise could easily provide. Taking one last look in the mirror before turning around to make sure she looked good on all angles. Analise wouldn’t really care if one thing was out of place, but Maggie the name she used when on the job, was always perfect in every way. Nothing was never out of place.


Finishing the last touch on her make up Analise then grabbed her purse before walking down to the cab that was waiting for her. At least the company she worked for was kind enough to always have a cab waiting for the girls. She walked inside the cab and gave the address to where she was supposed to go. The man had only request a brunette, long legs and the rest was pretty much up to her boss. As long as she was pretty. Analise was clearly pretty. Both then again all the girls at the agency were pretty. It was a prerequisite. The cab ride was short and soon enough she found herself standing in front of the apartment. He was a new client so her boss insisted she called once inside and let him know how long she was expected to stay there.

She looked back down at the number of the apartment and made her way up the flight of stairs. Why was it that those places never seemed to have elevators she hated to have to walk all those flight of stairs with her heels on? Analise took one look at her watch before knocking of the door. She was right on time but then again she always was right on time. She hated living this double life but she had not really managed to find anything else. She had never held a job so it was mostly impossible for her to work on a resume. And who wanted to hire a 26 years old who never had a job?

___________________________________________________________

Elijah Donovan Montgomery signed as he threw his phone down onto the couch. This wasn’t what he wanted to, he hated calling escorts, prostitutes, whatever you wanted to call them. Every time he had thought about it before, it would always make him think about his mother. But today, she was the furthest thing from his mind. He had just gotten out of prison not that long ago; celibacy wasn’t exactly his strong point. He had needs, and for the past eight and half years those needs were met impeccably by his amazing girlfriend Ana. For the last year and half while he was in prison, those needs hadn’t been met. But to make matters worse, not that he was out; he didn’t have a girlfriend either. Ana had broken up with him while he had been serving his sentence, and he didn’t know where she was.

Eli would have done anything for Ana; she didn’t even have to ask him. He served a year and a half of a sentence for a crime they both committed while she was out free. The cops had tried so hard to get him to tell them who his partner was. Offered him a couple deals that would have amounted to merely a slap on the wrist, but he would never turn on her. He loved her; he had imagined that he would spend the rest of his life with her; them being like the modern day Bonnie and Clyde. But it seemed like his imagination had gotten carried away with itself. Because they weren’t together anymore, and she was nowhere to be found. Now that he was free, Elijah wasn’t exactly sure what to do with himself. Freedom didn’t taste as sweet without his girl by his side. Working for his uncle while it met the requirements for his parole, it wasn’t as stimulating as his previous job. He didn’t really know how to live a normal life, maybe because he’d never had one.

The only reason that he might even ever consider a normal settled life with a white picket fence and the works would be for…well he couldn’t even think of her anymore. It hurt too much. He signed and he took his jacked off and flung it over the back of a chair. He rubbed his hands over his head and through seriously about calling the escort agency and telling them that he changed his mind. But that need aching in the back of his mind told him that he would lose his mind if he did. He brought is hands down and looked at them, they were filthy from a hard day’s work. So he took his clothes off and took a quick shower. No women would want his filthy hands all over her. He didn’t even want to deal with them. Though he wasn’t really intending on romancing the women anyway… this was strictly business, he knew what he was getting into and she knew she was going to get paid. There wouldn’t be any surprises. Or so he hoped.

Elijah didn’t take long in the shower; he never did especially after being in prison. Once everything was clean, he was done. Which was probably good since it appeared that by the time it took him to take his shower the company had arrived. He only had time to wrap a towel around his waist before he had to go to answer the door. This was probably good. Less things to take off, meant that they could get right down to business and then she could leave. He turned the knob and opened the door, but he was surprised to see Ana standing in front of him. For a second he had a dumbfounded look on his face. "Ana?"He wanted to throw his arms around her and tell her how much he missed her. But that wasn’t going to happen, not today at least or anytime soon for that matter. Not if he could help it at least. "What are you doing here? How did you find me"

The brunette hated when she had to be with a new client. She was not one for suprises. She liked to know what the man was expecting of her. Was he looking for a friend, a girlfriend for one night or just one quick night of pleasure. But since it was not something you could actually mention on the phone, it was something you could only get to know when you were in the house of the client. Of course like all girls there were things she didn’t do but all those things would be talk about when she would be inside. But when the door was opened she was taken back. Now this was not something she had expected. There he was the only man she had ever loved and he was out prison. Out of prison, and looking for an escort. She didn’t no what to say or what to think.

Analise hadn’t seen Elijah in so long. I had been what a year and a half since the last time they had spoke and it had not been a fun time. She had started to work as an escort and she couldn’t bring herself to tell him that. And yet at the same time she couldn’t bring herself to lie to him any longer. She had told him that she was working as a waitress but she knew it was only a matter of time before he figure out she was lying to him. They had been together for so long, he could see right through her. Analise had ended up breaking his heart instead. She had never found someone who could make her feel the same way as Elijah could. No one could make her feel weak in the knees in the same way.

‘’wait you are Mister Donovan?’’ She asked doubtful. ‘’I didn’t even know you were out…’’ She started looking down at her hands, she had no idea what she was supposed to say. He had no figure out what she was doing here yet. ‘’I’m Maggie…’’ she told him looking up trying to find his eyes. ‘’I don’t know what to say Elijah…’’ She knew what she wanted to do. She wanted to get inside and kiss him. Tell her boss she was taking the night off, she wanted to cuddle with him, take care of him like she should have done when he had been in jail instead of running away like she had done. ‘’I’m so sorry. I’m sorry for everything.’’ Her hand reached up as if she was trying to touch his face but she stopped her hand midway.

The girl didn’t think that he would have liked that. She was probably the last person he wanted see. ‘’Can we talk? I know I don’t have the right to ask anything from you and you have every right to ask me to leave.’’ Gosh she didn’t want him to tell her to leave. But he knew the truth now. Well not the whole truth but he knew what she did for a living. He would hate her for it, she was sure. He had told her about his mother. And while she was different then his mom she had ended up doing the same thing for a living. Analise had never felt so ashamed in her life. Nothing could compare to this moment, not the time when she had first took this job, not her first client, not when she had left the prison for the last time leaving Elijah behind.

Just by looking at him, she knew she still loved him and if he wanted to, she would do everything to make him forget her, she would find a 9 to 5 job, she would do anything he asked of her only so he could try and forgive her. But right now she just wanted him to let her come inside. Tell her everything was going to be all right.

Elijah looked at his ex girlfriend; he didn’t know what he was expecting when he opened the door. But this wasn’t it. He hadn’t seen Ana for, forever actually. Or at least that’s what he felt like it had been. But when you’re locked up, time seems to drift by slowly. Especially when you’re all alone, with no hope of having anyone on the outside when you get out… He could have used that hope that she had ripped away from him, it would have made his sentence a lot more bearable than it was. Looking at her now, standing in his doorway, he felt an overwhelming emotion wash over him. He didn’t know what to think.

"Of course I’m Mister Donovan…" He said in a suspicious voice. It was always his fall back last name, it being his middle name and all that, it also could serve well as a last name. He liked it… He didn’t know how she could have forgotten that, after all the jobs they had pulled together. What he didn’t understand though was why she was calling him that. He had given that name to the escort service; nothing was clicking to him right now he was so confused by seeing her. Especially when she said that she didn’t know that he was out. If she didn’t know then what was she doing here? But then she said she was “Maggie” and everything came crashing down on him like a tsunami.

All the color drained from his face, and he stared at her blankly for a second before she said that she didn’t know what to say. He knew what she could say; she could explain to him what the hell was going on. It pissed him off that she had lied to him all this time. She didn’t have to do that, he wouldn’t have been happy about what she was doing…But she would have preferred her tell him the truth than lie to him. He could have accepted that. When she asked him if they could talk he didn’t really say anything. He just pushed the door open for her to come in and went to sat down on the bed.

Elijah put his head in his hands and rubbed his face. He didn’t know what to think anymore. The love of his life had lied to him all this time, she had broken his heart. But she was the love of his life, he would have done anything for her. Shouldn’t he at least let her explain herself now? He took a deep breath and looked up at her. "Explain yourself."

They stared at each other for what had felt like hours. At least that’s the way it felt to Analise. She could hear her heart beating in her ears and she wondered if Elijah was as stressed as she was. Probably not she realised when he said that he was Mister Donovan as if it was the most normal thing in the world. He had not connected the dots yet. He had not figured out that she was an escort. He probably could have never guessed she would have done this with her life. But when she finally said that she was Maggie he finally understood. She saw it in his eyes. She was surpised but glad when he let her walk inside of his home.

He sat down on the bed and Analise put up a chair to sit down in front of him. She didn’t think he would want her too close to him right now. She took a deep breath when he told her to explain herself. She nodded before lifting a finger. ‘’I will but you can’t interrupt me until I’m finished.’’ She warned him. She didn’t want him to throw her out when he would know that only a week or so after he had been sent to jail she had started to work as an escort.

‘’When you took the fall for me, I had nothing. I found a motel that I could rent a room by the week. It was close to the prison so it was the best for the moment. But it didn’t take long before the money ran out, I used everything we had on the lawyer that was not work shit.’’ She started. ‘’I could barely pay for the cab fair to get to see you so after paying for the room, there was nothing left money wise. Then one night I meet a man, he told me he would pay me if I was his date at some sort of gala. I agreed it was 1000$ just for hanging out with a bunch of business men, I couldn’t say no to that kind of money…’’ she told him looking down at his face.

But soon enough she looked down at her hands feeling ashamed. ‘’I meet other men there. One of them told me I could make a lot of money working for him. He is the one that got me this job. At first I was only taking clients that were looking for companionship or an arm candy for some fancy event.’’ She had no idea how she was going to be able to speak the next words. How she was going to admit to him that she had slept with someone else. More then one someone. Ever since they had meet 10 years ago she had never ever cheated on him, never slept with anyone else. Until she took money for that.

‘’But then when I saw you in that orange jumpsuit and everything that had happened to you was my fault I just couldn’t deal with it. I couldn’t tell you what I really did but I couldn’t lie to you anymore, I knew you would be able to see right through me…and that you would hate me…’’

‘’I made really good money with the agency. I started to put some money aside; thinking that one day maybe you would come back to me.’’ She told him. One day she had found the perfect condo for them but she had never been able to put a down on it because she doubted that he would ever forgive her. ‘’I’ve never meant to hurt you baby…You have to believe me.’’ She told him as she got up from the chair and sat down on the floor in front of the bed and took his hands into hers. ‘’Please let me try to work things out..’’

___________________________________________________________

Elijah wasn’t feeling especially generous right now. He was mad, how could she do this time him? She knew about his mother, knew how he felt about this whole subject. But for the sake of not wanting to argue with her, and for what they once had he kept his mouth shut as she explained herself to him. He didn’t know why she had hired a lawyer for him. He’d plead guilty and he wasn’t contesting it. She could have just let a court appointment lawyer do whatever needed to be done. He appreciated the effort she put into it, but he wished she hadn’t. If she hadn’t maybe she wouldn’t have had to do this with her life…

The more she spoke the more he felt disgusted with himself. Like somehow this was all his fault. If he had left her more money, if they hadn’t gotten caught, none of this would have ever happened. He was supposed to protect her, take care of her. How could he have let this happen? She wished she would just stop talking; he didn’t want to hear anymore. He didn’t want to hear how she had seen other men for money. Sleeping with them… His stomach churned with disappointment and anxiety. He couldn’t believe that this was happening right now. He couldn’t believe that the first time he was seeing Ana since he got out of prison was like this.

Elijah had dreamed about this day every day since she had broken up with him. But it had been a joyous occasion in his mind. This was far from it; he couldn’t describe what a letdown this had been. He didn’t even want to see her right now. He couldn’t stand to look at her, and that made him even sicker then the thought that he had let her down. Because honestly it wasn’t really his fault, no matter how much he felt like it was he didn’t tell her to sell her body. She chose that route all on her own. Her couldn’t ignore that. Not at all. "What is there to fix. We’re not together. You broke up with me remember?"

Ana didn't know what else she could say for him to believe her. But then again what was there to believe she had betrayed him in every way possible. She had left Elijah when he had needed her, and even if they were not together anymore every night she slept with another man she had felt like she had been cheating on him. But she didn't want to do it anymore. Seeing him made her feel even more disgusted with herself then ever before. She heard the faint sound of her phone vibrating in her purse. It took a few seconds before it finally registered. Her boss was calling because she had yet to let him know everything was all right.

Analise didn't want to talk to him but she also knew that if no one got word from her, they would send someone here. She couldn't have that happened. She got up and walked over to her purse and took the phone out. She typed out a quick responses before closing the device. They would not be able to reach her now. Ana sighed and went back to sitting down next to him. ‘’Baby I broke up with you because I couldn’t face you. I was so ashamed of myself and I still am. But I want us Elijah. I have never loved another man the way I loved you and never will.

The girl felt as if she couldn’t get enough air in her lungs. ‘’I know I have no right to ask anything out of you, but please give me another chance. I never wanted to hurt you.’’ Analise knew it was a long shot. Even if they did have a lot of history together, she had probably done the one thing he couldn’t forgive. She needed him, he was the missing part of her, he always had been. ‘’Please Elijah…’’

___________________________________________________________

Elijah felt like he was having a panic attack. His heart was racing so fast and so long loud that he could hear it in his ears. He had been hoping that he could have started a new more peaceful life when he had gotten out of prison. One time on the inside was enough to make him never want to go back there again. But now, hearing what she had done brought the darkness in him come out. He wanted to have a list of all the men she had been with, hunt them down and kill them all very slowly and painfully. They had slept with his girl, his girl... No matter whether they were together or not, she was always going to be his girl. She was the first and probably the only person he loved more than himself. It was killing him inside, slowly to know what she had done while he was in prison.

He wished that she would stop calling him baby. It made it harder for him to think. His heart was racing even faster now, making it harder and harder for him to breathe. He stood up. She wanted a second chance, he wasn't one to give second chances. You usually only had one with him, and once you proved yourself untrustworthy you were cut from his life forever. He didn't want to hear another word from her. He couldn't bear to look at her, or think about her right now. His blood pressure was rising, his brain was thinking of so many things right now. He stood up, walking away from her. Needing to get away from her right now.

Eli walked over to the bathroom, leaning face forward against the wall trying to find some inner balance. But there would be none for him, not until he fully dealt with his problem. That being this anger he was feeling for what she had done, blaming himself for being the reason she did it. He punched the wall, putting his fist right into it. "Damn it Ana." He said, his voice sounding like a low growl. "How can you say you love me, when you went and knowingly did the one thing you that I could never forgive you for?"

Analise knew she was going to be in trouble once she was going to go back to work but she didn’t care. They could fire her if that was what they wanted. She knew she would quit anyway. Well she would quit if Elijah wanted her back otherwise she didn’t see the point in fighting anything anymore. If he couldn’t find it in his heart to forgive her then she wouldn’t forgive herself either. She wondered if she would ever be able to forgive herself after seeing the look on his face. She was destroying him, she was taking every chances of him getting something better out of life. But then again she had always done so. He would have never been in jail if it had not been for her. She needed to find a way to make up for all the pain she had caused him.

The girl knew he didn’t want her around. She knew he should simply leave him be but she was not going to let him go without a fight. He was her life and she knew she was his. She followed him to the bathroom but stayed by the door. That was until she heard him curse at her and then saw his fist brake into the wall. She silently walked over to the first aid kit she knew was kept in those hotel room. She started to take some things out so she could take care of the cuts that she was sure he would have on his hand. She pondered her answer for a moment before taking his hand into her own so she could have a look at it.

‘’I didn’t go off and…’’ her voice trailed for a moment or so. How was she supposed to say what she had done without saying it? ‘’did that to hurt you and make you never be able to forgive me…I did what I though was the only thing I could do to survive.’’ She told him. ‘’Do you think I’m happy with what I did? Do you think it’s easy for me to look at myself in the mirror every morning?’’ she told him looking up from his hand and into his eyes. ‘’I loved you the first time I laid eyes on you and will love you until I take my last breath.’’ She knew it sounded rather melodramatic but that was the way she felt about him.
