06 | Strings Attached

I didn't care to take my car, a walk to Starbucks and NYU seemed pretty okay. The streets were crowded with business people, those same black cars from yesterday sped down the streets. I recognized a familiar one, the one I knew to well. I didn't pay much attention to it, I kept walking and acting as if it wasn't his car.

Before I knew it, the cars parked on the curb as businessmen piled out. People gasped at the familiar man, who happened to be Jason McCann. He seemed to pay no mind, following behind him was his assistant Nikki. She was wearing a black skin tight dressed that made her clevage pop out. I rolled my eyes at the sight, but walked past him like it was nothing.

I felt his cold stare on my back, but I didn't mind. I opened the door to Starbucks and walked inside to order my iced tea drink.

They called my name five minutes later, they were starting to get packed. Thank god, I made it just in time. I thanked them before exiting the shop, I had to walk back up when I caught sight of Mr. McCann and Nikki. She was propped up against the car, as he whispered things into her ear making her laugh with every word he spoke. He gripped her butt, while she placed her hands on his chest as she pressed light kisses under his ear.

My stomach twist and turned at the sight, I felt my cheeks turn hot. I didn't know what to feel, but for some reason I was jealous. The way he was making her feel was the same way he made me feel.

I kept walking past them, until I heard my name being called. It wasn't him, it was Alex.

"Oh, hi Alex"

"Are you okay? You were walking pretty fast, I was calling your name but you didn't hear me" he chuckles

"I'm sorry, I was just in a rush" I partially lie.

"Really? At 8:30 in the morning" I nod as I laughed.

"I have school," I sigh

"Oh, you go to NYU?"

"Yeah, I want to work on cold cases like with crime" I smile

"Really? I can see you doing that" he smiles back "I was wondering, are we still on for tonight?"

"Yes," I assure him "seven o'clock"

"Great, I'll pick you up. See you tonight" he disappeared into the crowd, I looked over to see Mr. McCann staring at me in anger. I didn't notice how close I was still to him, but I didn't care.

I continued walking to school and made it there just in time.

Classes went by in a blink of an eye, it went better than usual. Walking down campus, I noticed a car. A different car, it was a black limousine. It was beautiful, but who could be getting picked up in this.

"Miss. Marin, fancy seeing you here" McCann winked.

"Go away," I groan

"Not until you get in," he argued

"I'm not getting in, I'm perfectly fine walking"

"Kelly, just get in the car" he says through gritted teeth.

"Please," he sighs

"I thought you'd never ask," I grinned, walking towards his car. I got inside, but kept my distance.

"I'm not gonna hurt you," he spoke

"I know" I pursed my lips

"Then why are you so far away," he scoots closer. I scoot away, I couldn't let the previous event from yesterday happen again. As much as I'd love the rush, I just couldn't do it again.

"Miss. Marin, I want to ask you about my offer again," he picks his nails "I know I make you feel good inside, I can tell like I said before. Virgins are easy to make wet, the way you squirm around and your breathing hitches. Don't think I don't notice, we've been through this before princess"

"So, if I let you f.uck me, you'll kick me out the car or your house like you did yesterday, no thanks" I went to reach for the door, but the car was already moving.

"See, now you have nothing but to make up your mind" he props his hands behind his head as he looked outside.

My phone vibrated, it was Alex.

- 2:49pm -

From: Alez

Can I pick you up earlier. I don't want to be cliche, but movie and dinner. How does that sound?

I hated cliche, it made everything cheesy but I couldn't help but laugh at the idea of him taking me out to a movie then dinner.

"Is that Alex?" He groans

"Yes, it is" I say typing back a response.

"So, you're here with me. The richest man in New York and you are worried about some guy that can't give you what I can?"

"And what can you give me?" I snapped "a headache, that's what you can give me"

"Miss. Marin," he clears his throat

I cringed at his formality, I hated when people call me this. It made me feel old, like a teacher.

"I don't like your tone," he spoke.

"Fine," I sigh

"What?" He asked confsued.

"Well, give this a try. If it doesn't work, then you have to leave me alone at all cost and stop coming by the apartment without warning"

I don't know where this was coming from, it was surprising to me. I didn't think I'd say this, let alone agree to it but I am.

"Then you can't go on a date with Alex tonight,"

"I'm going on this date with him, we aren't dating or anything. We are just trying things out, remember you don't date"

"And you're right" he agrees "so, go out tonight have fun. Remember, no strings attach"

The car came to a complete stop, I jerked forward a little.

"Your destination,"

I grab my bag and open the car door.

"Goodbye, Miss. Marin" he grins "have a nice time on your date"

Will do, Mr. McCann"

I watched the car drive off, this wasn't going to be easy and I knew it but I was only playing along with his game, that he wasn't going to win this time.
