"We both know you can't do that ,Mark" I say lightly patting his face .His jaw clenches cause he knows I'll tell HR about him trying to sleep with an employee and he to will get fired along with me so me and him have this agreement but he seems to forget and I have to remind him about it all the time
"My name is Frank" he says through a clenched jaw
" And I'm Rapunzel , Mark " I say throwing my apron on the floor heading towards the restaurants back door. I hear mark faintly say something
"What was that Mark" I shout from the corridor, he doesn't say anything and I nod .I know I'm acting a bit bitchy but I never signed up for this shit ,I'm studying psychology and by now I thought I would have an apprentice job but no instead I'm sweeping floors and dealing with bullshit but at least the pays good .I exit the doors and there parks a red G63 Mercedes and a handsome man wearing a fancy suit exits the car. Don't get your hopes up that's Travis the owner of the restaurant
"Afternoon Zuri , I sure hope your shift was good" he says smirking leaning on to his car. He thinks he can wow me with all this fancy shit
"Yeah , my shift was okay I guess" I shrug my shoulders he nods and proceeds to open the car door for me
"No, Travis for the 100th time I'm taking a taxi" he looks at me and he folds his arms smirking
"We both know these are not safe times and a pretty girl like you can't be alone in such a world" He says trying to reach for my hair .He really thinks the hair behind the ear thing is going to work on me .Rolling my eye's I take a step back
"Well I've survived this long , step bro" I say punching his shoulder
"Well we aren't related by blood and our parents got divorced like 3 years ago" he says shrugging he's shoulders
"And what that makes this appropriate " I say moving my hands between us
"Well I mean your mom does love me" he grins
"Yeah as a son , you fucker" I start walking towards the road calling a taxi. He tries to catch up with me and I jump in telling the driver to drive. Sure Travis knows where I live and he can probably follow me but I doubt he will .My neighbors don't quiet like him well the guy next door doesn't cause every time Travis comes over.
The clicking of a gun can be heard through the Apartment walls. After 10 minutes I arrive at the apartment building I step out the taxi paying the driver. I walk up the flight of stairs and it's a another issue, the elevator is broken and no one plans to fix it. Walking towards my door my eye's meet with Omar if I could I would jump out this goddamn hallway . I smile at him but I honestly feel like killing myself I don't need this today
"Hey shorty" rolling my eye's I look at him
"It's shawty Omar and plus this isn't America so why" I say trying to find my keys to unlock this door but to my despair they drop falling into the hole.I bang my head onto the door and I groan
"Don't worry Zuri , I'll call the maintenance team so while we wait let's step inside my apartment and have a drink" he says whilst cutting his apple with a knife ,I look at my options it's either I go inside have a drink or I stand here for who knows long
"I don't know Omar" I say sighing
"Well think of it like this , I'm not asking you , I'm telling you" he says with a serious tone giving me the death stare
"Oh ,um okay " I say getting up nervously
"Don't mind the mess" he says pushing his door open with the knife. I hesitantly walk into the apartment at first I thought the whole gun clicking thing was scary but this was far worse. Three men sat talking and they stopped to stare at me saying nothing. I looked onto the coffee table , lines of coke and pills in little bags sat openly for the whole world to see. I took a few steps back and Omar closed the door.I jumped abit clearly not being comfortable with this whole situation
"Water, wine,soda or juice" he says walking over to his fridge
"Uhm tap water will do " he smirks , he pours my water and he grabs himself juice. He ushers me to sit on his couch. Amar was handsome yes but this whole drug lord thing was odd to get used to
"So Zuri ,how you been" he says sitting down beside me
"Oh uhm I've been good and you" I say sipping my water slowly , he looks at me and he smirks.
"What " I say trying to compose myself before I dash the fuck out this apartment. The other guys are now talking in hush voices.
"Omar we have an issue, send curls over here home" the one guy points at me while counting his cash
"Nah , don't worry Zuri is chilled she's no snitch right" he turns to look at me and he places he's gun on the table.I nodd my head frantically yes
"Good , well Travis is giving us more shipment" the man says and my heart sunk and I swear my face went pale
"Travis as in Travis" I croak looking at Omar and he nods. You know I figured that Travis couldn't be changing his cars frantically like that if he didn't have something on the side but drugs come on now
"Uhm Omar I would like to go home now" I say standing up. He looks at me and turns to the guys telling them that we're heading out now. He opens the door for me and as I'm about to turn to face my door he pushes me against the door .I look up at him shocked with his outburst cause he's never done this before
"Fuck Zuri , I have never had to control myself as much as today seeing you in my home wearing that short uniform showing off your legs , I can't lie and say it wasn't turning me on" he says whispering into my ear whilst fisting my hair.
"Oh uhm Omar , I'm les remember" I say trying to work my way out of this , his cute yes but no
"Baby we both know that a dose of me and you'll change your sexuality" God help me right now before I kick this man in his balls
"That would be rape now" I say trying to get out his hold but he holds me tightly staring intensely at my body. He stared for so long that I'm sure he was undressing me and imagining me in all kinds of sick ways he stares back at me and he lets go
"Yeah , your right uhm here's a key , you can use mine" he hands me the key and I look at him
"Why do you have my key" don't tell me this man has the key to my home and I don't even know
"Oh uhm incase of emergency " he leans onto the wall next to me and I open the door and yep the key fits .I smile at him and I go inside closing the door letting out a breathe I didn't know I was even holding.
"Incase of emergency" I mock in his voice. Incase of emergency my ass you pervert. I head to my bedroom taking off my cloths I really need to take a shower. Ring Ring Ring , I look at the caller ID and I shriek
"Morning ,Zuri I just checked and your balance is 120k and you can finally take that trip to the states" , I start pumping my fist in the air .Oh my gosh finally I have waited for this call for 2 years. Forgetting that I'm still on the call
"Shoot , sorry about that, thank you"
"It's perfectly good , safe travels Miss" and the call drops. I start happy dancing .Oh my shit where will I go uhm let's see uhm let me go to Atlanta but then again Los Angeles seems appropriate shit why not both. I start squealing jumping up and down. I call Mark
"Hey Mark ,look so uhm I'm going away tomorrow and I'll come back Wednesday." I say whilst packing my cloths in my suitcase
"That's 8 days without pay " he says sternly
"Oh no that won't work , how about I don't come to work and you still pay me that sounds much better hey" I say smile to myself , he just sighs and agrees
"love ya, Mark" he hangs up the phone without saying it back.. damn someone has issues. I swear I'm not sleeping tonight I open my laptop and I start booking plane tickets, car rental and a hotel to stay. I head to the kitchen and I pour myself some wine ,I am excited for tomorrow and I might just burst. I head back to bed and I read a few chapters of my book. Switching of my lights I say a quick prayer and I rest my head.
