Chapter 4 *I need to get laid*

Marley sighed and rubbed her forehead. She was having an headache.

She glanced at her wristwatch, it was still early to meet up with Mick. Guess the day will end with a lovely note.

She missed her boyfriend. She missed his touch.

She dialed his number, a little smile tugging at her lips.

It rang but he didn't pick.

Was he busy?

But this was his closing hours. He probably will be home resting.

She boarded a cab and headed to his house.

Marley tapped on the door but received no answer.

What's wrong, was he okay?

She brought her spare key and unlocked the door.

“Mick baby?” She called out stepping into the spacious living room but received no answer.

She moved towards the bedroom and that was when she heard it.

Moans. It became louder the further she went towards the room.

It was clearer now.

“Do you like it when I fuck you this way ehn bitch?” Mick’s voice.

“Yes daddy.” A woman's voice moaned out.

“Harder, harder, harder. Ouch, I'm cumming.” The woman screamed.

“Bring it all in baby.”

Marley's lips quivered but no tears came to her eyes.

She had been trained to hold down tears. Tears was a sign of weakness.

Instead she opened the bedroom door and saw with her eyes what she had been hearing.

Mick was on top a woman, fucking her from behind.

She watched the most disgusting scene of her life for a moment before they noticed her presence.

“Fuck Marley.” Mick came off the woman and scrambled for his boxers.

The woman cowered under the blanket.

“Wow Mick. What a nice view we have here.” Marley's voice was cold.

“Keep enjoying.” She turned to leave and heard Mick calling out to her while still scrambling with his remaining clothing.

She stepped out of the house. Her heart was twisting inside.

She raised her hand to flag down a cab but Mick grabbed it.

“Marley please wait. It isn't what you are thinking.”

Marley swirled around and faced him, a little bit of hurt tinted her grey eyes.

“What I am thinking? For what I witnessed with my two eyes, what do you take me for Mick?”

Mick held her hand tighter. “I can explain.”

“Nothing you say can justify what I just saw. Let go of my hand.”

“She is nobody Marley. It's you I love.”

“You love me yet you fucked another woman. How dare you?”

“Well it wasn't my fault.” Mick raised his voice.

“You weren't giving me attention. My body needs sex but you weren't available to give it to me. I had planned things for us today but you just had to go for that interview.”

Marley scoffed. “You told me it was okay.”

“Oh yeah right. What did you expect me to say? You don't know when to separate your life from work. You behave like a selfish bitch.” 

A slap. Marley didn't hold back and Mick’s head went sideways.

He spitted out blood and looked at Marley.

“You are too cold. And I will love to see who will ever date a cold-hearted bitch like you. I have tried enough for you but you don't deserve anyone's love.” His words was spiteful and something in Marley's eyes swirled.

Tears stung her eyes but she will rather die than to shed tears for this bastard.

She flagged a cab down and spared Mick one last glance.

“It's over between us Mick. Go fuck yourself.”

The cab drove off and Marley stared at the rear view mirror. Mick was still there, shirtless with just a jeans on.

Marley bit her lips. She phoned Jessica.

“Hope you are still opened, I need a friend.”

“Why did you fire Mrs Bling?”

Peter came into Anthonio's office and met him staring out of the glass like wall facing the streets of Sydney. He had a champagne glass in his hand.

“Because I can.”

“You can't just go around firing the employees of this company.”

“My company.” Anthonio stated.

Peter sighed. “Why have you changed so much.”

“Amnesia is a bitch.” Anthonio moved away from the glass wall and stared at Peter.

“The interview today. Why were those questions there?”

“I thought it would be best clearing up everything.” Peter stuttered.

“Without my permission. You know how much I dreaded those questions yet you didn't let Mrs Bling cancel them.”

“Was that why you fired her?”

“Peter, you are starting to get on my nerves and it will be better if you don't.” Anthonio sat down and tapped his computer on.

Peter knew he was being dismissed and his eyes narrowed.

“You shouldn't have fired her.” He went out.

Anthonio's lips hardened. He needed to get out of here before he breaks something.

In a club in Sydney 

Music blared from speakers and drinks and smokes moved around.

People danced crazily to the beats. Women grinded their bodies on men.

Some were making out.

Naked women danced on poles with men jeering at them lustfully.

Everywhere screamed sin and sex.

Two women moved around the place and found a seat.

“What are we doing here?” Marley raised her voice over the loud jazz music.

“This is the perfect place to get over an heartbreak.” Jessica shouted back.

“Perfect place you say.” She observed her surroundings. She saw a couple or maybe just two strangers having sex in a corner.

She gulped down a shot.

“This is the perfect place to get laid girl.” Jessica grinned at her.

“You are crazy. I don't want to get laid. I just want to forget that bastard.”

“And getting drunk and laid is the best option. I'm telling ya.” Jessica poured more shots into the little glasses on the table. And she and Marley gulped them down in one go.

“Have you done it before, getting drunk and laid?”

“Bet I did. And it was heavenly. Just a fling and it was so perfect. I think I will be doing that tonight but not after you get a man. You need all the sex you can get tonight.”

Marley rolled her eyes and her eyes roamed around again. This time it was caught by a pair of dark eyes.

The stranger’s lips tugged up and he nodded his head at her.

“Yeeee, I think you have found a man already.” Jessica squealed.

Marley examined the man. He had a huge frame and a face that screamed danger.

She got up and went towards him. She could hear Jessica cheering behind her.

“Hey.” The man smiled down at her.

Marley licked her lips still examining him, now closer.

“So what's a pretty lady doing in a place like this?”

“Am I in trouble?”

“Definitely not. It's a pleasure having you here Missy.” 

He was charming.

He offered her a drink and she took it.

She sipped from it and grimaced when it burned her tongue.

“That a rare drink. The strongest liquor you can find here.”

“Perfect. Just what I need.” She sipped again, getting used to the burn.

“What brings your graceful presence to our abode?” He asked her.

“I needed a distraction.”

“Well I think you have found the perfect one.” His eyes hinted something and Marley cleared her throat.

“Maybe.” He poured her more of the rare liquor.

Marley drank it and her eyes doubled a bit.

She was getting really drunk.

“So I think we should take our conversation to a more quiet place.” The man said and caressed her laps.

Marley brushed it off. She realized this wasn't what she wanted.

The man's hand came back to her laps, this time going higher to her thighs.

“Hmmm, I'm sorry but I don't want to have sex.” Marley said to him.

The man's brows drew together and he squinted at her.

 “What do you mean?” His voice was hard making Marley swallow.

His hand o

n her thigh gripped tighter and he came closer trying to kiss her.

But someone stopped him.

“She said she wasn't interested.”

His voice.

Marley stiffened and looked at him.

The man she really despised.

He was here.
