Their Temptress

After the whole events that happened it was somewhat hard for me to digest the situation that I was in. Here I am home, safe and nerve wrecked that I actually made it out… alive. The events replayed in my head as what happened after our agreement. I was surprised that he accepted it so quickly it was rather strange as if he testing me. He seemed to be in his 30s and was a fine man. I wouldve drooled over him if it were a normal circumstance. After signing some papers with my signature and my finger print(which he took forcefully). He sent me home saying that was enough for the night.

I hardly slept and now it was time for me to get up out of bed. I was in no mood to go anywhere but this adult life isn like a child who can tell their mom or dad that they
e sick then miss a day. Groaning, I got out of bed and walked over to my mirror. My eyes were puffy from the lack of sleep. Getting into the shower and let the water over my body was truly refreshing. My mind swayed away to the thought of Armani, he smelled so good, the way his lips felt as they connected on my neck felt euphoric. My hand trailed to my neck, the spot that he kissed. The way my name rolled off his lips and the way he called me princess. Any one would fall for a fine man like him. I wonder if he had a woman. For some reason, my body felt strange as I thought about him more, dirty thoughts captivate my mind as my body response to it.

I know that its wrong and hes a stranger but I couldn help but feel this way. I wonder how would it feel if he fu- my alarm rang out. Argh! Good and bad timing alarm, I was throttling on a dangerous road yet Im here thinking about a man who wants me to repay him. After a few minutes of getting ready, it was time for me to leave.

”Mornin Betty, ” I greeted. ”Good morning vana, how
e you doing? ” Betty replied. I put on my apron and hair net as I turn over the open sign. ”Im good, have you heard anything from Rachel? ” I questioned. The time was after 5, and I had my class today at 2:30, customers will soon arrive. ”Shell be here soon. ” I sprayed the counters, tables and chairs with some mild disinfectant, while Betty and the chefs looked about the food items. Today was my day around the cash register, so I pulled up a stool and sat around the counter. Today was Tuesday so it won be as bad as yesterday with so much customers, I think.

Looking through my Instagram page, and watching a few celebrities page, I plugged in my air pods and turned the volume down . Watching a few videos, I found a funny one that made it hard to keep in my laughter. ”Morning Nirvana, get off the phone and pay attention to the customers. ” Rachel said loudly. I didn like Rachel one bit because of her loud and aggressive personality, it was a surprise how she still had this job. Paying her no attention, a customer walked up to the counter. The same smell of cologne hit my nose as I knew who it belonged to, Armani. I quickly fumbled with my pocket before showing the phone in the small drawer. ”G-good morning, how may I help you today? ” I stuttered. I looked up at his face, it was handsome expect for those cold stone eyes that looked into my soul and made me feel nervous. ”Can I get table 09, and borrow Nirvana for a few minutes? ” He asked. Was he insane? Didn he know that Ill get fire if I ain working during my work hours? ”I- don think… ” My manager interrupted me, ”Ah, yes, you can borrow her Mr. Armani. ”

I slurped the cup of pineapple juice noisily to piss of Ramanov but he seemed unfazed by what I was doing. ”Stop ignoring me, you do know Im losing some money off my paycheck right? ” I broke the silence. He stared at me and I became self-conscious. I finished my juice as I looked through the window to save myself the embarrassment I was feeling. ”Ive paid your tuition fee. ” He finally said. ”Oh for ** sake, why would you do that, so I can owe you more money? ” I spat. ”Lower your **ing voice brat! ” He replied. My eyes widen as my mouth closed immediately. ”I want you to listen carefully princess. ” He continued.

”Im sorry, I didn mean to be such a brat. ” I apologized. His expression changed for a quick sec. ”Look, you
e a debtor, I want you to work efficiently without worrying about about paying for your tuition or working hard, the only time you should working hard is to repay me, Am I clear? ” He questioned. Honestly don know if I should be relief or not. Sure I don have to worry about paying those fees but at what cost really. ”Yes, you
e as clear as a crystal. ”

”Good, now as long as you
e under my care you don have to worry about anything. I want you to move into a proper apartment cause the environment you
e in isn good for you. ” He replied. ”I have a small apartment, just for you to live in until youve cleared your debt, ” he looked at me.

”Don you think that this is too… Sudden? ” I looked around to see if anyone was listening in but to my surprise people were minding their own business, well, expect for Rachel. She was practically glaring at me, if eyes could kill Id be dead. ”No I don , you need to start your training soon and I need you to settle in. Ive called the school that you can make it in today, I need you to wait at the round about when work is over to go pack your things. ” I rolled my eyes, ”Can you like give me a day to think about it, like how they do in movies? ” I asked. ”This isn movies Nirvana, but reality, now do as I say you
e giving me a headache. ” Oh no, seems like I pissed him off now. ”Fine, under one condition. ” I replied.

He sighed, ”Whats that now? ” I grinned, ”Teach me how to be seductive. ” He choked on the water as I laughed.
