Chapter 3

“You look, drunk bro? Did you sleep or did you drink all night until you got home?” Diether uttered. This is Robby’s cousin who got married so he had a Bachelor’s Party where he met Maria.  Also, his partner in the Coconut Business of their family. 

“Ugh, yeah. I actually didn’t sleep. Can you do me a favor?” Robby asked his friend. 

“What Bro?” 

“Can I sleep here, inside the office?” 

“Wow! Are you a bad boy now, Robby? Like what the fuck, did you spend the night with a whore?” Diether asked. 

“The stripper made me like this,” He answered directly. Diether laughs out so loud. 

“Bro, don’t tell me. You guys stay awake the whole night doing different sex positions?” He jokingly asked Robby. 

“Nope. Well I think, maybe she doesn’t really want to be a stripper. There’s a deeper reason why she entered that kind of job.” He uttered.

“But still, she’s a stripper. Who else is she going to escort.” Diether said.

“You know Diether, never mind! I really want to sleep.” He pushed away his cousin. 

"Hey Robby Pineda!  Remember your clean name! Your mother might get mad if she will catch you like a fish!" He said with a warning tone.

"Fine, Fine. Get out!" Robby shouted. 

He shook his head and just closed his eyes to sleep. 

~~~

When she returned home, her friends' shoes and sandals were no longer in their dorm. When she opened the door, it was clean. She was sad and lay down on the sofa. 

"I'm all alone again, stop wasting all your time away waiting up for better things. If you feel it, then that's all you have to say."

As she closed her eyes, she sang the  song she played on the guitar.

She wiped away the tears because she was like a child hiding in the house because millions of people say a lot about her. Even if she says, she's numb and doesn't care, she's just a really good actor in the show of her own life. So, she can get up and deal with the problem that the world is throwing at her.

She woke up because of the phone ring, she found the messages from her Boss. 

"Lots of sideline jobs! I hope you have a lot of time to love yourself." She reviewed the schedules sent to her. She looked at her bag and saw the calling card with the check from Robby Pineda. As Maria watched the calling card and checked, she suddenly felt hunger. 

"Damn, I'm hungry," she uttered and opened the fridge to look for food. 

Maria saw a note from Kitty and Ciny.

Eat me!

Maria! Do not be ashamed to approach us. Please do not starve yourself to get thin! Cindy and I love you.

From your Sexy ass Kitty and Cindy.

A note on the table with  Chicken soup. 

"You guys are really stupid. I miss you both," 

She opened it and ate like a man. Afterwards, she glued this notepad to her refrigerator and then just left the food in the sink.

"Today is my Day off and tomorrow. No sex, no liquor, no party!" When she took a bath, she left the house to ride a bike. She is wearing a hoodie and headset.

 "Oh shit. I'm all alone again." 

Maria accelerated her bike ride and she liked it more because of the speed and strength of the wind.

"WA!!" When she shouted, she accidentally banged  the red car that turned left. They collided with the side of the car. The guy inside the car leaned over to the side.

 "Fuck my car!" The man shouted and shouted at Maria. His car scratched on the side. 

"Wow! I hope you ask me first IF I'M OKAY, not your fucking car, Mister?!" 

Thank God that Maria is okay but her bike is broken. 

"FUCK YOU!" Maria shouted again.

"YOU CAN WALK MISS!" The other man came out. Maria looked at it but she ignored who it was. 

"Call me if you feel any physical pain. Don't worry and I'll pay your hospital bills." The man said earlier. Maria was panicking and cheap. 

"HEY HOW ABOUT MY BIKE! YOU NEED TO PAY IT NOW! YOU BROKE IT SON OF A GUN!" Maria shouted.

"Call me, here's my calling card. AS YOU CAN SEE MY DETAILS ARE COMPLETE WITH NUMBER AND COMPANY ADDRESS. But for now, I really don't have any money right now. I promise, I will not run away." he uttered.

"WA! Incredible! Pay me now, or I will sue you!" Maria pulled the man and stroked her hands to find the man's wallet but accidentally, Maria's hands touched the man's crotch line. 

"Oh damn," the man avoided her because Maria touches her sensitive part. 

"What?! Will you pay me or I will call a policeman! There are lots of CCTV and guards here," she shouted and pointed at the man. Out of a sudden, the man noticed her blue eyes.

"Oh come on MISTER, I know that my eyes are very beautiful, but all you need to do know is to pay!  You broke my bike, you drive fast inside the subdivision!" she uttered.

"Yeah, I'll pay you. Call me, I'll go now!" 

The man quickly left and pulled over his car.

"Son of a gun! HEY COMEBACK!" 

She looks like a wet chick walking home. 

"I hate this day! I bet his dick is small." She kicked the stone and hit the neighbor's gate. The dog barked and Maria ran back to her apartment.

 "Oh come on Maria, be careful You know that everyone hates you here. They thought that I might steal their husbands."

Maria is in the  bank to exchange the check into cash. It's her day-off today, she can also drop money into this bank where she pays their house debt. 

"Ma'am, this is a closed checking account," said by the bank teller.  The closed account marked in the center of the check and returned it to her. Maria is very angry. 

"That bullshit man named Robby! This is a scam! We did sex, he should pay me for a talent fee!" She whispered.

She went outside and called the number of Robby found in the calling card. 

"Damn it, I need to pay bills!" 

Finally, Robby answered the phone. 

"HELLO! YOU CHEATER! YOU ANIMAL! Your checking account is CLOSED!  You gave me a bounced check! We got sex, I gave you a better blowjob, you should pay me the right price, ROBBY!" She said angrily.  Maria just heard a laugh from the other line by the man. 

"Fine, where are you?" The man asked with a sarcastic tone.

 "Here in the SQUARE! There's only one bank here! Hurry up, I need to pay bills!" She hung up the phone and sat down under the tree. 

"That idiot, I really don't want to see him again. I really feel like he did it on purpose. I mean, I think he likes me!" She got angry and pulled her hair up. Her face became clearer where you can see Maria's natural beauty.

After thirty minutes of waiting...

Her mouth almost swelled because she was crazy waiting for Robby, she talked to herself while waiting for the man. 

"You're getting into my nerve Robby!" She couldn't stop and  beat the man. 

"I'm sorry,you are like a man! You have an iron hand Maria!" He said while holding his head, he was wearing polo shades and a hat. 

"Come on." He grabbed her hand and put her in the car, now the man's car is different. 

"Here's the cash." Maira reached out and counted the money he gave. 

"Don't worry it's all Legit," he said. 

"THIS ONE IS FAKE!" she exclaimed and returned the money. Robby checked the one thousand bill. 

"Oh, yeah. It's fake." 

He pulled out his wallet again and took money in exchange with the fake bill he gave. When Maria got the payment from him. He suddenly got out of the car and walked straight. Robby quickly chased after her and held her hand.

"Where are you going?"

"Pay off the debt." Maria answered quickly and turned her back on Robby again.

"Can I come with you?"

Maria frowned at Robby's question. "Of course not." She answered rudely

Maria ran and quickly hailed a taxi. Robby scratched his head and laughed at what Maria had done to him. 

"Why am I so happy to tease her?" He was shocked and smiled. 

Maria went down to a street and just walked home. She stopped at a house that looked old.The woman stood and watched the house for a while. Maria didn't notice that Robby is chasing her. Robby parked the car on the side and approached the woman. 

"I bet you are a thief too, as part of your sideline job?" He joked, Maria was surprised when she saw Robby beside her. 

"ARE YOU A STALKER?!" She shouted angrily at the man. 

"Nope, I just met someone here then I just saw you." Robby lied. 

"Is this your house? It Tastes like American house hu'h?" Robby asked.

The features of the house look from a horror movie because of the faded paints and some leaves that have climbed to its roof.

 "That's our house. Our old lovely house." She lied, this is their house before. But the name of the property is under the name of the bank. 

"Why don't you fix this beautiful house?" Robby uttered.

Maria looked at Robby and snubbed the guy.

"Don't follow me! It's a pity on how you look, you have a future  so don't follow me Robby. You might get infected with me." Maria said as she walked out. 

"DATE?" Robby suddenly asked.

"What? Are you out of your mind? I'm a stripper," she answered.

"I don't care Maria, I'm serious. If you want a talent fee for a personal date. I'll pay you. Just give a chance to date you," he pleads and thinks that Maria will accept his offer.

"I don't want you! You know what? Find a decent woman to date with. Not me Robby." 

But Robby chased her.

"Please? Just a date? Do you have a boyfriend?" The man asked her.

"I don't have a boyfriend, do you think I'm crazy? I will not be a stripper if I have a boyfriend! Besides, they will not respect me because of my job. Duh, use your coconut Robby," she was pissed off here. 

"Fine, let's date." he uttered.

"You know what? Stop fooling around Robby. I'm a busy person so get off."

Maria walked fast and Robby followed her. 

"Just a date with you," the man asked again.

"Pay me. YOU ARE SO ANNOYING!" 

Robby smiled and nodded. He held out Maria's hand. 

"Fine, with a talent fee," Robby said.

"Let me think about it first  Robby. Go home, and do not follow me again," she said with a warning tone.

On the other hand, Maria finally reached her way home. She continued smoking with the second cigarette.

 "Burn, burn, burn! You are not allowed to be attracted by that crazy guy. Just for sex and money.  Always remember you are a gold digger. Put it in your mind Maria!"  She talks to herself while smoking. She was upset because she's hungry and tired. 

"I need money, I need to pay our fucking debt. If I do not pay the landlord of the apartment I might get evicted." 

Shewas on her way home smoking.

 "Burn burn! You are not allowed to fall in love with that man. You just want sex, don't you remember, gold digger, huh? That's why you stand and stay as a stipper!'' She talks to herself whil walking. Maria was upset because she had not eaten yet, she just paid her bills first, so that the owner of the dorm could evict her.
