My shift ended at 17:20pm in the evening, Eva dropped me off at home with her car before heading back to the hotel for her shift.
After saying good bye to Eva I climbed out of her car taking the stairs to our apartment floor. I opened the door to be hit with a strong smell of alcohol and a stale one of cigarettes. Mom was sitting on the floor while her upper body leaned against the edges of the couch. several bottles of brandy, Vodka and other kinds of spirits she endulge in everywhere in the living room.
The house was a total mess, I hang my purse at the stand beside the door. started on by picking the scattered empty bottles and the pieces of smoked cigarette. I went to wake her so she can go and rest in her room.
"Mom...lemme take you to your room..." I drape one of her hand around my shoulders leading her inside the room. she was slurring some words and insults as well which I was quite used to by now.
I get back to the living room to finish cleaning and prepare dinner.
The offer Mr Benson told me about congregated my thoughts to form one possible explanation for the task, Enzo Bianchi had something in mind and I don't think it was good.
I've heard numerous stories from Eva about how rich men lure their employees to bed. And if you're the type to act up with conducts there will either be a lot of mishaps or offers to compromise the rules-your own rules.
Was he also trying to buy me with money? If so I'm not ready to take it. I'm definitely not desperate for money, I have a job, Though the monthly salary doesn't cover much of the consumption but I still manage. I don't have to step so low as to sell my dignity or enslave myself and get myself hurt in the process just for shinplasters
After reasoning properly I came to a conclusion. I would call Mr Benson later to let him know of my decision. For now I'll just concertrate on making dinner.
There wasn't much left in the refrigerator I was too busy these past few days, I couldn't check the fridge we are running out groceries. I settled for bacon carbonara. setting a reminder on my phone to go visit the grocery store Tomorrow after work.
I ate alone as always, saving some for mom in the fridge she'll re-heat it when she's hungry later that's if she doesn't sleep it off till tomorrow.
I plopped on the bed laying on my back I stared at the ceiling contemplating whether to call Mr Benson or sending him an email. I chose the latter.
fetching my laptop from the drawer I sat crossed legs switching it on.
After emailing Mr Benson I walked in to the bathroom for a shower, I dry my hair with a towel and left them loose. I wear a Gray oversize tee with an underwear I didn't really bother to put on a bra. I like wearing baggy clothes to bed it's feels cozy and warm.
I unplugged the phone from the charger. I put on black flip-flops walking out of the room quietly making sure I don't make a sound.
I took the stairs to the remaining four floors. I knew where I was going and I missed being there.
I opened the small door to the terrace, taking in the surrounding with my eyes. I used to feel the same whenever I came here to peek at the star lit sky. but today it feels different. I surveyed the area looking back and forth. a wave of chilly air hit my bare skin on my arms and legs sending light shivers to my body.
The small reaction reminded me of Mr Enzo's touch. I would feel like that and so much more.
my phone buzzed and I checked it to find a text from Eva. I can't call her since she's working and it's not appropriate to talk on the phone when she's on duty. She was asking if I was okay I was a little silent today.
I replied to her text before my phone chimed in with a private number on display.
I hesitantly swiped the green icon and press the phone to my ear.
"You would no better than to reject my offer.." His voice pierced from the receiver. I didn't know how much I missed it until now. I almost leaned in to the phone When I scolded myself for being so weak. I gathered myself to reply back.
"I just did, it was an offer.. a take it or leave it, I chose the latter.."
I heard some shuffling around before he retorted back.
"It's now an order..!" he vocalized.
"You're forgetting something, I don't take orders!.."
He was saying something and I didn't feel any interest of listening to him. I hate it when he goes all bossy on me and I hung up on him. He can fire me if he wishes to, I'm done playing get you to bed games with him.
I crossed my hands against my chest, getting back to the sky. The only thing that seemed beautiful now days.
******************************************
I felt my blood boiling to the highest centigrade, How dare she hung up on me!.
I didn't bother changing into a formal attire. I walked out of the house to the garage.
fetching my car, I mind link Novus about her whereabouts.
"She's at her apartment's terrace"
I shut him out, revving the engine to life speeding out of the driveway.
she was staring to sky again oblivious of my presence. fuck it!! did she have to wear short stuffs to bed. I took long strides towards her yanking her forearm twisting her whole body to face me.
"How dare you..?" I spat out angrily at her horrified and trembling figure.
"Let go of me..." she spoke determinedly.
I tightened my hold around her body.
"How dare you hang up on me..No one has ever tried doing so..who do you think you are?!"
"There's always a first time!.."
I was taken back by her overconfident answer and she took it as a chance to break loose from my hold sprinting to the door.
Ohh no you don't.. I won't let you off so easily this time.
Before she could make it to the handle. I caught her, pining her to the wall supporting the door.
"You should know there's a consequence to every action, running isn't one of them"
"Let me go Enzo Bianchi!!!" she also had guts to call me by my name. as if realising that it stroke me, she began fidgeting out of my hold failing miserably this time.
"What are you doing to me?"
The question rolled out of my tongue subconsciously, I was mad at her, she was constantly making me angry and it weirdly turned me on very easily.
I hated the way she affected me, grabbed my body's attention without even trying.
I caged her leaning closer to her small figure, she turned her head side ways her jet black waves hiding her face from me.
I stretched my left hand, pulling the waves behind her ear gracing me the view of her neck. I traced her jaw line with my index finger . she squirmed under my touch.
"You do things to me Cara.."
I continued trekking my index finger down her collar bone. she turned her face to look me in the eyes. her intent stare did things to me down south.
"You don't look at me like that Cara.. or I can't promise to behave"
she was pushing me to edge without even knowing. I snaked my hand around her lower back pulling her to my chest. I felt her breast dangling as her erect nipples grazzed my shirt. that was it for me as I grabbed her neck placing my lips on hers hungrily.
I had missed the feel of her skin her enchanting scent that drives me wild Everytime it hits my nostrils. I pulled away quickly when I remembered the dangers she'll face if we continued this.
I disentangle myself from her half jogging out of there before I do things she'll regret later.
"Enzo..."
I stopped in my tracks, turning slowly to face her, she took quick steps nearing me and she did the unexpected.
she locked our lips together kissing me with the same passion and lust.
