The Mistress

XXIV

Thursday and Friday went by in serious work mode.
You would be surprise how the orders kept trolling in

We made the dress in different colors and added more attractive designs...
There was so much to do and I had to oversee at the same time

Most times.... Lunch slip and I go hungry till dinner.
It was so stressful that I barely have time for anything else

Stacy introduced me to a guy named Ray who needs a place to stay
I was going to spend the whole of Saturday at work before but I decided to take him to the apartment to check it out

I met Ray briefly on Thursday night.... He is a reporter at a media house, I don't know how he and Stacy clicked but they didn't act so friendly around each other so I didn't bother to ask

I left work by 2pm to meet Ray at the apartment
He was standing outside the building with a heavy cross bag.. And a hat over his head

I hope he is not thinking of moving in today.... I haven't actually prepared myself for a new roomie but I badly need his pay, so I don't exactly have a choice

"Heyyy Ray... I hope I didn't keep you waiting, I was so busy at work"

"No problems... "
He answered softly

I led him through the stairs to the apartment and we walked in as I switched in the light

"And here we have ittttttttttt"

Shit... I left my undies everywhere. My bra was hanging on the bed and my panties on the floor by the sofa

This is so embarrassing.
I may need to rethink this
having a male roomie may not be a good idea for a clumsy and careless person like me

But I just have to adjust and learn to keep my shit together
Mrs. Beckinsale will not be so nice if I delay my payment even for a day

I hurried and try to put the untidy stuff in their place

"Come on in... Don't just stand there"

He strolled in and sat on the sofa, removed his bag and placed it on the floor beside him

I'm guessing... He is the tidy type
that's a plus

"So... You can check the place and see if you like it... "

"No... Its fine, it's cool"

"Are you sure"

"Yeah"

And that's how we continued
I asked the question he answered

"When do you want to move in?"

"Is today a bad day"

"Really... That soon"

"I lodged out of my hotel, so I thought I can just move in today"

We never discussed that
I didn't think it would be this soon

"ohhh.. I see, so do you want to like go and pack your stuff or something, coz I have to go back to work"

"No.. Am good, I have all my stuff right here"

He wants to move in with just one small duffle bag and that's it...
I can't imagine how many boxes I have to fill when I decide to move out

"Wow...... You are ready.... That's fast; anyway I have to go now... So are you going anywhere or what"

"No... I'll just stay in and rest"

Am finding it really difficult to just hand him my keys and leave him alone in my apartment, I only just met him on Thursday .... Maybe I should just call them at work and tell them I can't come back
