Chapter Three

Katherine’s pov

I stired with closed eyes trying to adjust to the rays of sunlight coming in through my crampy window.

The bed was oddly cold, the usual feeling of emptiness filled my stomach once again. The tattooed man had drove me to get a cab home before driving off tó whatever business he was called for.

I haven’t had a real sex in seventeen months and last night felt like I was actually gonna get laid and that happened so I ended up masturbating with my little toy. I went straight to the bathroom to wash off my body.

The thoughts of the ordeal didn’t let me be, I think I’m going crazy because tell me why my hot dog was looking like a dick and made me moaned and wet over breakfast. No doubt about it now, I’m utterly fucked.

My phone started ringing from my handbag from yesterday. I shuffled my hand blindly looking for it and when I did I was suprised to see my boss’s name flashing on the screen. Why is he calling so early in the morning on my free day? I wondered.

“Good morning Mr John” I greeted

“The fuck is good about the morning Katherine?” He screamed through the phone

“Huh? What is the matter sir?” I asked confused as fuck

“The nerve of you idiot to ask me that! Well the matter is that you should have been right here four fucking hours ago!” His yell was louder this time

Wait! what? I was about to remind him of my free day before realization hit. Today is Thursday and not Friday.

“Fuck!” I breathe out

“Well fuck is right because you’re fucking fired!!” He yelled louder and ended the call

I sat on the bed with my head between my hands. How the hell did I forget what day it is? What was I thinking? Well deep down we know what messed with my head, yes that’s right, it’s him. A fucking stranger that I wasn’t going to see again.

John, the club manager has been really hard on me and always looking for ways to punish me ever since I refused to fuck him and now I have given him the perfect excuse for that. I quickly got dressed and dashed out to the club, hopefully he would only cut out my salary like the last time but to my utmost surprise he fired me.

“You can’t do this John, I do my job with almost perfection and you know that” I tried reasoning with him

“Expect you come to work 4 hours late?” He fired back

“This is a one time mistake and I already explained myself right, I miscalculated the dates that’s all” I almost yelled at him

“The decision is made you’re fired Katherine” he said as a matter of factly

“Fine! You will regret losing me to your sexual frustration” I said as I began to make my way out of the club.

“What did you just say?”

“Go fuck your mother you bastard!” I yelled at him

I walked out of the club house with no idea where to head to or what was next. This is such a bad time to be jobless Katherine. My rent is due in a week or two and my brother’s medical bills has to be paid as well as my student loan.

I blink a few times to fight the tears threatening to fall out, I can’t walk along the busy streets of New York City in tears.

I walked back home in order to save the little money I had till I find another job and to also to think about what to do next, getting this job wasn’t easy, I had to use Andrew’s connections to get it and now it’s gone.

“Katherine!” A middle aged woman yell in he usual displeased tone.

I wonder what my landlord is calling to me for, she’s no fan of me so I know it’s either a complaint or threat to throw me out.

“Yes ma’am “ I answered mainly because she hates being called ma’am or Mrs, apparently she’s still young at forty-eight, but I just love to annoy her.

“It’s Gloria Katherine, Gloria!” She yelled angrily as expected

“Whatever” I muttered under my breath

“I heard that!” She screamed almost immediately

“What do you want Gloria?” I asked

“Well your rent is due in two days and I need my payment” she said standing with her hands resting on her waist

“What do you mean two days? It’s two weeks Gloria” i corrected

“Well go check your agreement and receipts and prepare to move out unless you have my money complete.” She yelled and walked away.

I rush in and went straight to the leasing documents hoping that I was tight and she was wrong but fuck! She was right, I’m going to be out on the streets in two days.

My phone started ringing almost immediately , this time it was the hospital my brother was in. I was so glad to pick up in anticipation of a good feedback from the nurse but it was the exact opposite.

The smile on my lips faltered as the nurse mentioned to me that my brother’s condition had worsened and a sum of hundred and fifty dollars was urgently required for immediate medication.

Can this day get more worse?

A knock at the door startled me because I wasn’t expecting anyone.

“Who’s there?” I asked

“It’s kara!” I heard from the across the door and rushed to open the door for my best friend.

“Kara!” I called and hugged her tightly “what are you doing here?” I asked surprised

“Carlos told me about it, are you okay?” She said calmly

Carlos, her boyfriend whom I happen to work with at the club.

“I’m not Kara, everything is so fucked up right now” I admitted

Kara is my soul sister, we met years ago at college and she has proven to be the most trusted human in my life. Kara said soothing words to me as usual and soon enough I was smiling again. I went into the kitchen to grab soda for us and came back to see Kara sheepishly grinning like a naughty kid.

“What’s up Kara?” I asked

“Oh nothing” she responded

“I know that stupid grin too we’ll, you tell me what it is or I wipe it off your face missy” I said with a fake frown.

“You taste so good Angel, I hard a great time. E.” She read out from my phone.

“Someone got a text!” She screamed running around my living room.

I rushed after her trying to grab my phone off her hand to no avail.

Angel? That only means one person, the tattooed stranger.

“Now spill, no detail excluded” Kara said excitedly after catching up with her.

~~~

“Sounds like you almost had sex kath, I’m getting wet from just hearing it ” Kara cooed after my narration

“You can say that again Kara, I feel so damn hot thinking about it” I responded

“So why didn’t you get his number?” Kara asked disappointed

“Did you miss the part where he left in a hurry?” I asked

“Oh true, who even works by that time?” She screamed in frustration, the details is exactly what she loves to her. Crazy Kara!

“Well you could go to club and get hotter men to smash” she said with her usual mischievous smile.

“I need to find a job first Kara”

“Of course babe. Uhh” she hesitated

“What?” I question with a raised eyebrow

“ well one of my colleagues said something about a job last week ” she said still hesitating like she was trying not to annoy me

“Well?” I urged her

“It’s a babysitting job babes, the kid is 5 I guess. But the pay is good, heard she’s the niece of CEO of Howard empire but I’m not even sure the job is still available ” she explained

“Who’s that?” I asked

“The CEO of Howard Empire?” She asked like it was the most obvious thing in the world and I nodded.

“Get a social media account and life for once Katherine” she huffed

He’s probably a popular person I know nothing about. Kara literally lives on the social media but I find it pointless.

“Well I’m down for the job” I stated

“Really babes?” She asked

“Sure, I fucking need money, the source doesn’t matter at this point” I answered.

“I will ask Celia if it’s still available tomorrow then she’ll give us details” Kara said

“Now tell me, how long do you think your stranger can last?”
