Page 65 of Scoring Chances
She turns and the second she does, I want to eat my words.
“Reece?”
“Hey, Joshy,” she smiles and starts walking over to me.
Why is she here?
“You weren’t invited.”
“Not by you, no. One of the rookies did.”
I’ll fucking kill them.
“Who?”
She waves away my question and stalks toward me. “I’m not here for the party.”
“Then leave.”
She shakes her head. “No, because you see… there’s a little matter of payment we have yet to discuss, Joshy.”
“I paid you. Plenty. For the five days you lasted here.”
She tsks. “Oh, but I did so much more than take care of the kids, didn’t I?”
Her eyes narrow and she’s wearing a dark smile when she leans in and whispers, “I took pretty good care of you too. From what I recall.” She runs a hand across my chest and I could breathe fire from how pissed I am right now.
“You need to leave.”
“I hear she’s making a killing. And she’s living here. Lucky her.”
“What do you want, Reece.”
“Equal pay. For services rendered.”
I give her a blank stare. “Are you apart of some nanny/escort hybrid service I wasn’t aware of?”
“You’re funny,” she smiles. And it makes me sick.
“And you’re annoying. Please, leave.”
“One hundred thousand, right? For six weeks? If I do the math that comes to nearly twenty-five hundred a day. Seems kind of steep. And seems I was jipped.”
“Do I need to remind you that you only worked here for five days and that you were the one that quit on me?”
“I just want what’s owed to me, Joshy. Let’s round up and call it twelve grand even.”’
“Get out of here.”
“Unless,” her voice is sultry. “You’re paying her a premium to give you her virginity.” She’s behind me now, rubbing a finger up my arm. I shake her off.
“I don’t need to pay her for her virginity just like I didn’t have to pay you to sleep with me. That was all of your own accord, Reece. It’s not in your job description.”
“Fine, if that’s how you want to play.”
“I’m not playing anything with you. This conversation is over. Leave.”
She steps up to me and leans in. “Then you just made a choice.” She gives me a peck on the cheek before turning on her heels and leaving through the side gate.
