"Isn't too early to leave huh Rey?" She said with a cute pout blinking her fake lashes at him.
"You have been paid. What more do you want? Just leave." Rey, who was already regretting his action, poked her out of his bed.
"You were never like this, chasing me out as early as this." She began putting on her lip gloss.
"People change, don't they?" Was his nonchalant reply as he stood up to wear his pajamas while waiting for her to finish up.
"But I didn't get enough sleep." She sulked looking at him. Not buying any of her actions, he picked up the phone.
"It's either you leave on your own or I help you out."
"Really?" She stood up forcefully stomping her feet on the floor.
"I don't have cash for the taxi and besides, it's still too…"
"I will drive you." He bent to pick up his keys and she gave a smile.
Locking the door of his bedroom to avoid her fake habit of forgetting something after leaving only for him to come back in to find one or two of his valuables missing, he led her out of his house.
She kept chattering about how good he was last night and how she couldn't get enough of him. He only kept walking ahead but slowed down when he got a glimpse of Mia dressed in her full uniform and how in a hurry she was.
What was after her?
She turned towards his direction, walking towards the house, when she stopped in shock on seeing him with Blondie, who immediately got into the action of pretending to be his girlfriend.
"Oh babe, is this your cook?" She purred, interlocking her hands in his.
"She looks smart, I bet her food tastes just as nice." She continued without waiting for his reply, putting on an air of authority that made Rey sick.
He felt awkward between his sudden two fake girlfriends. Looking at Mia, he had the desire to explain but the unfeeling look in her eyes after the initial shock stopped him.
"Good morning Sir."
"Good morning Ma." Mia greeted, and Rey felt a rush of anger; what did she think she was doing addressing them both so formally as if they were way higher than her?
The blondie nodded in response, but he just stood static, still looking at Mia, whose eyes pretended not to read the emotions behind his.
"What would you love to have for breakfast, Sir?" She asked and Rey held onto the Blondie's finger tighter.
"Ooww! That hurts Rey."
"Anything you want." He spat.
"Aawn! Can I stay for breakfast at least? I am so famished." She implored, making puppy eyes, but Reynaldo didn't even spare her a glance before dragging her along towards the car.
Looking at the couple leave, Mia snarled at Reynaldo's back in hatred and disgust before hurrying into the kitchen to decide what to make for him.

Back in the boxing ring, Reynaldo's phone rang and on seeing the caller's ID, he picked it up without hesitation, his voice flat.
"Where are you?"
"With that voice of yours, you would knock the breath out of me, and I would end up dead, so I thought of something else to make you vent."
"How about a Blondie from Flux?" Andrew asked, his tone suggestive.
"Don't make me come get you myself."
"You can't; I had to escape the house to save myself."
"Don't worry," Rey said into the phone with plans to punch the punching bag till he got tired.
"Why shouldn't I worry? Who do you think will have the blame for your mood tomorrow?"
"Hurry up man, she is at your gate already." Andrew continued, his voice increasing and decreasing at intervals.
"What!? Fuck you man!"
"Never mind, I will call Gary to open up the gate. Orrr…" Reynaldo ended the call before Andrew could finish speaking.
Fuck everything! Looking at the punching bag and taking his glare personally, Rey punched with every pang of frustration he felt till he had no strength left to keep punching.
Sweating heavily, his clothes clinging to his body like a second skin, Rey walked out of the gym area into the main house and his room.
At first, he was surprised the lights were out, then the weird scent hit his nostrils before he had the time to cover his nose.
"What the hell!" He yelled, hitting the switch.
"Hello, Rey Baby?" There she was, lying on his bed with nothing but a bra small enough to cover her hardened nipples and panties he knew too well.
Closing his eyes and holding his head, he grunted. There is no escaping this now.
"Sienna, I didn't call for you." Now he was huffing, the smell from the lit scented candle already having its effect on him.
"No need for that, Baby; I am here now." Her brow shot up twice before giggling softly and humming to herself.
She was the first lady he had ever had anything to do with after his nasty breakup with Vanessa. He chose her the first day he stepped into Flux Bar because of her uncanny semblance with his ex.
His purpose was to fuck her senses out of her while imagining her to be Vanessa, but strangely, she had a fetish for that, so she kept coming back persistently till she became a nuisance.
At some point, Andrew began to believe they were secretly dating. It took him threatening her with the law before she backed off but not without dropping by once in a while before stopping completely.
He had to knock some senses into Andrew for bringing her back into his life. She came prepared with something to get him to his knees before the thought of sending her out came to his head. Having nothing else to do, Rey staggered into the bathroom to take his bath but she held the door and invited herself in.
"Sienna, you need to wait…out." His eyes were so angry that he couldn't do anything to stop himself from sounding helpless.
"Why wait out when I can get the real deal here, hmm?" She asked, walking closer to him before putting on the shower.
