A/N: Thank you for the reviews of the last chapter. They are always greatly appreciated.

Melina walked into the private room and smiled at Seth, "Hi, I'm Seth Rollins." he said with a smile.

"I'm Cherry." she slowly walked over to him "Anything special you want me to do?" she smiled as she straddled his lap.

Seth reached into the inside pocket of his jacket and pulled out a big roll of money "I wanna talk business with you. I'll give you this $3000 to hear me out."

Melina looked from the money to Seth's eyes "What kind of business?"

"First, I gotta know your real name."

"Melina James."

Seth smiled and tucked the cash in the sexy little garter belt Melina was wearing "I'm in town on business. I live in Tampa, Florida and I own several real estate agencies across America, I don't have any businesses on the west coast yet. Now, to why I'm in LA. There is a real estate company out here that I want to buy. The owner, however, wants the company to go to a guy that has a family, for whatever reason. And that's where you come in. I want you to pretend to be my wife. I will pay you good money if you do this for me."

Melina's jaw dropped open "Excuse me?" she got of his lap "I am not a prostitute. You think you can just come in here with your money and just buy someone?" she took the money out of her garter belt and tossed it back to him "I don't think so. Now get out before I have security come in here and throw your ass out."

Seth's eyes went wide and he quickly stood up and held his hands up "Whoa, I didn't mean it like that. I swear." he sighed and rubbed his temples. Opening his eyes he just as Melina was heading to the door "Do you like stripping?"

"What kind of a question is that?" she spun around and put her hands on her hips.

"Please answer the question."

Sighing, Melina lowered her head "No, I don't. But it's the only thing I know how to do."

Seth went over to the couch that was up against the wall in the room and patted the spot next to him "Please sit." he smiled when she made her way over to him. "With the money I'll be paying you, you could quit stripping forever. In fact, we'll get you your real estate license and you can work at any one of my companies you want."

"How long would I have to pretend to be your wife?"

"However long it takes to convince the guy to sell me his company. For every week you're with me, I'll pay $15,000."

Melina's eyes got wide "You'll pay me $15,000 a week just to pretend to be your wife?"

Seth nodded his head "Yes. And don't worry. I'm not expecting sex. You'll have your own room in my house. I live very close to the beach. I have a very nice car with GPS you can use." he hands the $3000 back to her "You don't have to worry about bringing much with you. If you chose to do this for me, when we get to Tampa, you can go shopping and get whatever you want."

"Why don't you just ask someone you know to do this?"

"Well, I only just came up with the idea yesterday. And no one I know is my type. You're more my type."

"If I say yes, when do we leave?"

Seth smiled. He knew he got her "In a couple of days. I have another business meeting then we're off."

Melina took a deep breath "Ok. I'll do it." she sticks out her hand.

Seth took her soft hand in his "Thank you for doing this. I promise you will not regret it."

After shaking hands, Melina stood up and went to the door "I guess I better go quit my job." she turned around and looked at Seth "When I get changed, I'll give you my number and address."

"I'll wait for you at the front."

After getting changed and quitting, Melina found Seth and gave him a piece of paper with her phone number and address on it and in return, Seth gave her his number. When she got home, Melina quickly called her best friend Renee Young and told her what was going on.

"Oh my God, girl. Are you sure about this?" Renee asked.

"Positive. And I have a guaranteed job after I get my real estate license."

"I'm happy for you. I'm just gonna miss you so much."

"I'm gonna miss you too. You're like a sister to me. Maybe I can ask Seth if you can come out for a visit sometime."

"I would love that." Renee sighed "I have to go. I have work early tomorrow. Maybe we can have lunch before you have to leave."

"Ok. I love you."

"I love you too. Good night."

That night, Melina is laying in bed and staring up at the ceiling thinking how much her life has changed that night. She went from Cincinnati, Ohio, to being homeless and living from state to state, from job to job until she ended up in Los Angeles, California as a stripper. Now she will be moving to Tampa, Florida to play the wife of someone. She never thought her life would end up like it is. Hopefully something good will come out of this new "job".

Maybe living and working for Seth wont be so bad. He is a very attractive man, and he seems nice. She should have no problem pretending to be his wife. Hopefully things will go as they should and no problems come around.

A/N 2: So, what did you think? Do you think Melina made the right decision? Please review and thank you for taking the time to read.
