Here goes nothing” I said to myself as I walked into Mason Realty, that cold afternoon.
I was tired from the long walk round the streets of Texas city looking for the position of a secretary. Mason Realty was going to be the last company I was going to try out in Bunyard street before I retire for the day.
I entered into the office and headed towards the receptionist,
“Hello, I’m Melanie Adams, I’d like to inquire if there is vacancy for the position of a secretary here”
“Hi, I’m Sarah, sorry there are no vacancies, but you can drop your application, and I’d call you if there is a need for one” she replied nicely, that’s the nicest response I’ve gotten from a receptionist all day
I submitted the necessary credentials, and left, silently praying the current secretary was going to be relieved of her job today, I know that’s an evil prayer, but really, a girl can hope.
I decided to take the long walk home since I didn’t have any money left on me to take the bus.
I regretted that afterwards, just when I was close to my apartment, a guy snatched my bag and ran across the street, I raced after him without watching the road.
I was almost knocked down by an upcoming vehicle, but I swiftly turned around, and with so much force, I bumped into the side mirror and sent it crashing on the ground.
Just then I remembered my bag was empty and there was no need running after the thief, and now I was in trouble.
I looked at the car, it was a nice looking black car, I didn’t know much about cars, but this looked expensive.
I made a silent prayer that the car owner was nice and would let me go.
I stood still, sweating in the cold breeze as the car owner alighted from his car, I made a quick calculation, he was tall, cute, in an expensive looking suit, must be in his early 30’s, and he wasn’t smiling, this is bad.
No, this is Carl.
My crush from some three years back; he still looked as cute as he has always looked.
I was still fantasizing over him like I did then, but he never noticed me, and it is quite obvious that he does not even recognize me.
‘Good morn, no sorry, afternoon sir, I’m so sorry about the damage, I was robbed and was going after the thief and and, I’m so sorry, (I made a quick calculation in my head, all I had was 20 thousand dollars in the bank), I could pay you 10 thousand dollars to have it fixed’ I concluded and realized I was saying rubbish
“10 thousand dollars, do you realize what model this car is? This is a 2021 Lexus RX 350, and replacement for that mirror costs 479 dollars”
I’m dead, I said in my head
The next thing I realized, he had taken a photograph of me with his phone, he then pointed his card to me, "Take this, call me 10am tomorrow so we can talk about this damage you have done"
With that, he got back into his car and zoomed off.
I entered into my small apartment, feeling sorry for myself, the little hunger I felt earlier had vanished and replaced itself with worry, 'what do I do?'
'How do I get out of this mess?'
I woke up to the ring of my phone, who was calling me at this time of the morning? I looked at the small clock on my table, 8:00am, how did I over sleep?
I was supposed to be up, roaming the streets looking for a job.
The ring of the phone brought me back from my thoughts, I quickly picked up the phone.
"Hello am I speaking with Melanie Adams?" the caller said
"Yes, this is her, how may I be of help?"
"Apparently, my boss sacked his PA and we are looking for a quick replacement, can you come into the office in an hour time for an interview?"
"Yes, I’d be there"
"Alright, I’d be expecting you at Mason Realty an hour from now, don’t be late" and with that, she hung up.
I jumped off the bed and flew into the bathroom, in exactly 52 minutes after the call, I was at the reception.
"Hello Sarah, thank you for calling me" I said to the receptionist I met yesterday
"Hello Melanie, I’m glad you could make it, the boss would interview you himself, take the elevator over there, to the 5th floor, the first door you see as soon as you are out of the elevator, you can't miss it, good luck, and be yourself"
"Thank you Sarah" I flashed her a smile as I dashed towards the elevator
I stood outside the door of the office, calming myself down, trying to breathe normally, just when I was about to knock, the door came open.
“Are you coming in or you are going to stand there all day?”
That voice was too familiar to miss it, the voice sent chills down my spine
I looked up and our eyes locked, I was in trouble.
Before me stood the man from yesterday, the cute man I had bashed his car’s side mirror the previous day.
His face could tell he recognized me too, how could he not, the debt from yesterday was too large for him to forget my face.
“I said call me by 10 not come to my office at 9” he said with a look of irritation
“I didn’t come for the damage of yesterday, in fact I didn’t even know you owned this place, I haven’t even look at the card you gave me yesterday to note that the you were the boss here, if not I won’t even have come here”
I said, feeling the need to be all defensive
“Hmmm, why are you here then?” it was obvious he couldn’t wait to get rid of me
“I came up here for a job interview, I was told you needed a PA, but it’s quite obvious you won’t employ me, so let’s just go over how you want me to pay for the damages I made to your car yesterday” I was annoyed already
“it’s quite obvious you can’t pay, take a look at yourself, cheap worn out suit, poor shoes, faded earrings, a wristwatch that’s not functioning, I looked at your CV, you’ve got good results, a considerably average but good school, hmm what else, no experience, well I’d employ you and keep removing a percentage from it for the car’s damage.
But if you are unable to deliver and I sack you, we’ll renegotiate on how you will pay back the debt you owe me, the next door belongs to my secretary, she’ll tell you all you need to get started.”
What confidence this man has, who does he think he is? How dare him talk to me the way he just did?
“I’m not taking the job”
I said, so annoyed I was sure I’d burst into tears any time soon
He sat on his chair with a smile on his face, that smile said all the evilness in that one man.
I walked out of the office, held my tears in the elevator, and was contemplating what I was going to say to Sarah when I got to the front desk.
Luckily for me, she wasn’t on her desk, so I raced out to the streets, waiting till I got to my apartment before I shed all the tears I was holding back.
I stood at the front of my apartment, I couldn’t believe what was before me.
My luggage were outside and a big lock on the door. I knew what it meant, I was owing the rents, and I had gotten notice twice, but I didn’t expect this to happen so soon.
What was I going to do?
I had no friend in the city, my dad was late, my mom remarried and I’d rather not call her, my step dad was an annoyingly proud man I didn’t want to have anything to do with him.
I was alone in Texas.
I sat on my bags thinking of what to do, after hours of thinking and dozing off, I woke up to a dark sky and no solution to my problem.
Just as though everything was against me, even the heavens, the rain started pouring down.
I began to panic, no not now, I don’t want any panic attack, no no, not now.
I buried my head in my palms and the rain stopped touching me, I looked up and saw an umbrella over me,
“What are you doing here? Please go away”
I said to him.
What did he want from me, he had put me in a debt, insulted me this morning in his office, and now he was here with an umbrella, what did he want from me?
“Get into the car, let me drive you to a hotel”
I wasn’t ready to tell him I couldn’t afford a hotel, if I could I’d have done that before the night met me here, so I just ignored him and buried my head into my bags
His next move was unexpected, he dropped his umbrella and carried me on his shoulders, why was I slender and lightweight?
“Put me down, I’m fine where I am, this is abuse, put me down now”
He wasn’t listening.
Instead he put me inside the car and locked the doors, his driver got out of the car and loaded the trunk with my belongings
“You are kidnapping me, this is wrong, let me go” I was burning with anger
“Shut up, you are too loud” he said as if he was doing the right thing
How did he even know my house (oh yeah he had ran a background check on me), how did he know I was in trouble, what if he was the trouble, what if I was really being kidnapped, oh no!
“let me go!" I was screaming loudly now, “open the door! I need to get out of this car, my boyfriend is coming to pick me up! If you take me away he will know I’m in danger and call the police and you will…”
Before I could complete the nonsense I was spitting out, he kissed me.
The kiss was hard and rough, like he was ordering me to keep quiet, yet it was going deep, and warm, and was calming the nerves and cold I was feeling from the rain.It was getting me turned on. You can’t blame me, I’ve not been kissed in over two years.Just when I was falling deeply into the kiss and forgetting who I was with or the situation I was in, he stopped the kiss.I sat back embarrassed and I faced the window, if he wanted to shut me up with that kiss, he was successful.“What were you saying about your cute, sweet, amazing and loving boyfriend?”I could tell there was a smirk on his face, but I was not ready to look at him, neither was I ready to answer him. So I kept my mouth shut and acted like he wasn’t speaking to me.“we are here” he announced “it was an hard time getting you to follow me, so I
I sat on my desk with my hands in my head, I knew I was stupid for having sex with him this morning.No, from the moment I let him carry me yesterday and kiss me and touch me, and stay in bed with me and drive me crazy this morning.Oh I’m so stupid, he has a fiancée and what he had with me was nothing,He acts as though nothing happened,Andrea says he keeps his PA for only two weeks, looking over the payment plan, the payment was great, there were no indications of any debit for the damage I did on the car.I need this job, so I’m going to forget what happened between us, and give my best into the job.I’d avoid him as much as I can, seeing him was bad to my body and my imaginations, plus I didn’t want his rude remarks.Carl, he was Carl in my head, but Mr Mason on my lips as everyone else.
It's been a week, I've been avoiding any physical contact with Carl.He also has been busy.There were lots of meetings with clients, site inspections and a whole lot of paperwork and meeting with the company's lawyers.I have also been busy, it was during this period I realized the need for a Personal Assistant and a secretary,The work load was also much because this weekend was Andrea's wedding and she had gotten two weeks off, so I had to also do part of her job.My desk phone rang,"Hello sir""Come to my office" he said as rudely as he always does, hanging up before I even get a chance to reply him.Another dreaded moment, I hate going to that office.I knocked and waited for him to ask me to come in before I walked in, I didn't want to make the same mistake I made barging in on my half naked boss or a horny lady.
I set free his erected manhood and massaged it gently in my hand.I caught him throw his head back a little.I guided his shaft into my mouth, tasting his precum.His size was large and I could not accommodate all of him in my mouth, so I took in the amount I could, in and out.I teased, licked, kissed, sucked, but I wasn’t taking him all.He decided to take the lead and was fucking my mouth crazily.I was almost gagging and he didn’t care one bit.He kept taking his penis to my throat, and then he stiffened and I knew he was about to come, do I even want him to come in my mouth?That would be a no.So I tried to pull away so he could cum elsewhere, instead he held my head in position and came in my mouth.I wasn’t interested in knowing what he
I packed my bag and followed Carl to the suite, since I had taken a shower I decided to just sleep so I would not look stressed for the wedding tomorrow.The suite had only one bed, but it was large, large enough to have Carl on one end and myself on the other end without any of us touching each other.As much as I wanted to stay away from him, I wanted him to make a move, to touch me, to make me moan for him.I was disappointed, he made no move, he simply unpacked his things and went for a long shower, and before he got back, I was already asleep.I woke up the next morning feeling energetic; I decided to play on Carl. I got up from the bed, although he was up, I did not acknowledge him. I did not even say good morning,I just took off my sleep dress and stood naked in the room, I then walked to the bathroom swaging my hips, and I made sure Carl saw me. I took my time in the bat
"A penny for your thought" Carl asked bringing me back to consciousness"Where is the penny?"I asked trying to hide my worry behind a smileWe checked out of the suite and set back to Texas, on our way back I simply wished the car would yet again develop fault so we will be stuck together again for one more night,However, against my wish, the car drove in perfect condition, without even a stop.We arrived safely and the driver helped moved my bag to my apartment,Carl did not even alight from the car, neither did he even give me a good night kiss,"Thanks for the trip, and the dress, Good night" I said"Good night, you are entitled to a day rest after a trip, so you don't need to show up at the office tomorrow" Carl said to me in the most boss like voice he hadYet again I was hurt, whom was I deceiving
I wasn't feeling any better after the sex, as I lay down on my office floor, all I could think of was that in two weeks Carl will no longer have me to please him,He will wake up in the arms of Floral, he would explore her body as he had done with mine, he would love her, support her, cherish her, make love to her and most importantly he will forget me.It will be as if I never existed."Why did you come to the office?" Carl asked bringing me back to realityI got up and started putting back my clothes on, "I came to ask you about my debt to you""Are you dumb Melanie?" He asked me not looking annoyed but amused"I'm dumb because I want to pay my debt?" I asked"How can a small frame like you crash the side mirror of such a car?"What do you mean?" I asked confused"Earlier that day, the dri
Carl's POV (point of view)My life is so messed upI dropped by the office to pick up some paperwork I wanted to look into at night, only for Floral to show up and start spitting rubbish about we getting married in two weeks, she stomped out and that's when I saw a sight of Melanie, standing by the door, I wanted her to come in and hold my hands, but she didn't.She went to her office and I was not sure what she was doing there, I wasn't sure how much of the conversation she heard.I stood outside her office and heard her sobbing, I didn't know if I should leave her alone or go in and console her.I was having my own troubles but I couldn't just leave her in pain.I entered and she was giving me excuse of having something in her eyes.When I held her as she cried, my heart broke into a million pieces. I didn't do love, so I was sure I didn't love her, but I cared about her.We had nerve
