There was a long pause.....
"Why? Did you find someone else?" She asked again, breaking the silence.
"What if I did? Will you insist?" His voice was agitated.
"Of course, you haven't paid me." She tried her best to calm him down.
"Damn that money!" He shouted. "Tell me, you didn't show up here because I refused to give you the money you wanted!!!" Nathan was now mad and started to yell again, which she feared the most.
"It's not it___" She felt a bit scared.
"Then, what!?! All you care about is money! Money means everything to you!" Nathan was still shouting, and she couldn't help being teary.
"If only... I had another choice... I would never come up... to you and ask..." She cried softly.
"Then who would you come up to? Another customer from the bar?! Oh, how much do you have got?" he asked angrily.
"Why... do you always... think about that? I already....told you___" Her words broke.
"Well, come to think of it. A
The following day Kimberly was still not feeling well. Her head was aching as she opened her eyes, trying to figure out where she was. She rose weakly as she realized its Nathan's room. Then hardly walked to reach the bathroom because her bruises from the hit by the car were also painful. Nathan was at the door with a food tray when she came out. He quickly rushed to aid her and put down the tray on the bed. "I'm alright. What happened?" She asked. "C'mon, easy." He carefully assisted her back to bed, ignoring her question. "Nath... I mean... Mr. Conner?" She asked, a bit nervous. "It's alright. Call me Nathan." He said. "You're not mad at me?" She asked again. "Let's just say I'm giving you another chance." "Thank you." She smiled as his eyes deepened on her. "Why?" She asked once again, confused. Nathan shook his head and turned to the tray. He took the bowl of soup and spoon, poured a small amount, then blew a bit before giving it to her. "I can do it, don't spoil me like t
Around six 'clock when they got themselves ready for the party. Nathan is wearing a black suit paired with a red tie. He looks so handsome, with his hair attractively fixed. While Kimberly wears the elegant violet long dress, Aunt Marie bought for her. It looked unfit on her since she quickly lost weight after being sick for two days. She puts makeup on, doing it as well as she can. "Turn around..." Nathan commanded. Kimberly obeyed and walked into the room like it was another practice. "So?" She said he looked at his wristwatch when she reached back at him. "It's still early." He whispered and took her arm. "Let's go." "Do I look good now?" She asked consciously. "No." "What?" Nathan drives to her Aunt Marie's school. He hurriedly pulled her when they arrived. "Nathan?" His Aunt was surprised. But he didn't need to speak for their purpose. She already knew by looking at Kimberly's dress. "What happened? Why did you lose much weight?" Aunt Marie asked frantically. Kimberly be
Kimberly hurriedly went to the washroom with such worries. "Yes, Hello... Andy?" She was nervous. "You need to get back right now." The other line sounds alarming. "Okay. I'll be right there, goodbye." She went back to their table and tensely approached Nathan. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked grimly. "Sure." He answered with a huge smile. "Excuse us." He turned to them, and they went outside. "What is it, honey?" He asked and embraced her tightly. He was so happy about how it turned out though Kimberly refused. "What now!" The smile fades away, and he sounds a little upset. "I need to leave right now." She glanced worriedly, and it puzzled him. "Are you kidding me? My best friend wasn't here yet, and you're asking to leave? And besides, it was only eleven___." "I know... I know it..." She cut him panicky. "But it's urgent...please..." She continued. "Enough!" He shouted.
Nathan took a step back, but she ran away through the exit."Shall we?" The doctor insisted, so he continued walking to her office.Nathan sat on the chair prominently with a crossed leg."So what can I do to help you, Mr.?" The doctor asked as she sat on her chair."I think it's not necessary to know my name. I wanna ask you about the patient you had earlier." hHe demanded."Mrs. Aston? What's your connection?""I can't tell you, and It's something private." He said. The doctor took a pause, studying him more."Can you tell me how she is?" He asks."Well." The doctor finally started."Historically, two years ago, she's been diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease or ulcerative colitis, also known as Crohn's disease. She had it even before being diagnosed; the longer she had it, the greater the risk. It has been highly increased to colon cancer. The inflammation is worse, reaching its severity. We did the colon
The next day Nathan decided not to work in his office. Instead, he planned to stay with Kimberly and help her."Where are you?" He called her as he rode in his car."I'm at work right now. Sorry, I can't hold on longer." She answers casually."Didn't I tell you to get some rest!" He's irritated."I already did. Can I call you later?" Kimberly is in a hurry."Mackie's restaurant?" He asked."No, I got another job.""Exactly where?""Along Sunset Drive Avenue. Sorry, Nathan, I need to hang up. My boss is here." She snaps, ending the call.But still, he drives his car to Sunset Drive Avenue and passes by Mackie's Restaurant."She's not here." He murmurs while driving slowly and looking around. He turned left at the corner of the road and heard loud music. A new store had opened with many balloons, flowers, ribbons, and confetti. He passed it through and continued driving while turning his sight on both sides, hoping
And just like Kimberly's tiring day yesterday, she went out to Mackie's restaurant around six in the evening to go to Nathan's apartment. She hopes Nathan is in a good mood today. She had to take a deep breath before opening the door.To her surprise, Nathan sat on the sofa with a whiskey in his hand."Nathan ..." She called. But Nathan slammed the glass and stood, frightening her. He walks closer and pulls her into his room. He repeats what he did last night.He pushed her onto the bed and turned her back while pulling her pants down. He did it from behind, so he couldn't see her face. She bites her lips to stop her crying.He had sex with her fast, hard, and painfully while still some of their clothes were on."Nathan..." She cried as he stood after fixing his clothes. He took some money again and gave it to her with eyes, not on hers."This is what you want!" He's mad.Kimberly feared he would hurt her again if she said more words.
"Where the hell did she go?" Nathan got mad."Would you just calm down?" Henry is also irritated. "Maybe she got shocked at what you did to the guy and ran off." He added."Who is that stupid guy anyway?!" Nathan asks while they walk to his car."The hell, I care. Why don't you ask your girlfriend? That guy was holding her arms when I came." Henry answered as they entered the car."What?" Nathan is a bit shocked."I may be having difficulty seeing things clearly, but I saw it.""Where are your glasses?""I left it because I was in a hurry to do you a favor and hitch on Johnny's car," Henry answers, but Nathan falls quiet while driving."Does Kimberly know the guy?" He asks himself."Bro, I heard her mother was discharged the other day but returned this morning due to severe pain." Henry started."She didn't mention it to me last night." He said quietly, thinking how she could ever speak to him about it after what she did to her."Aunt Rebecca told me she signed the discharge paper beca
On the other hand, Kimberly just went out of the dressing room."Perfect!" The woman they called "Mama" blurred out after seeing Kimberly in a very revealing pair of bras and short skirts. She quickly pulled Kimberly to a group of older men."Enjoy the night, sir!" as always. The woman smiled widely.It's exhausting and disgusting as Kimberly smells the liquors and cigarettes from the older man, who quickly touches her knees. For Kimberly, it's unbearable to be with these men, and she stands and pushes him away. Everyone got surprised."You're a disgusting dirty old man! Don't you have a daughter?!" She said and walked away. The woman on the counter runs to pull Kimberly away."What the fuck are you doing? You bitch!" The woman slaps her face hard." You're here for money! You fucking slut! Stop pretending you don't want it! You idiot!" The woman keeps hitting Kimberly."I'm sorry..." She cried."You bitch!___" The woman was about to slap her again but stopped as
