"What did I do ?" I ask him with my hands up in questioning. He sits down on the couch and puts his head in his hands.
"Brittney, Brittney, Brittney" he says over and over looking down. I walk to him and go on my knees to face him.
"It's okay. I'm doing it with a clean heart. You don't have to worry about payback" I say taking his hands in mines. He snaps his head at me and his eyes have gone red.
"What is wrong with you?" He asks while shaking his head.
"You think you bloody Bill Gates now that you got a proper Fucking job and I am a stay at home asshole" he says and I shake my head no.
It is not my intention to look down at him cause I don't. I just know how it feels like to be in debt and have no money to pay. It's real frustration.
"It's not like that Vally. I promise" I say looking at him. He stands up and goes to the window opening it for fresh air.
"Then what it is. I don't care if you do it with a clean heart or even the devils heart or angels heart. All you need to do is sit behind this laptop and make your stupid money... if I need you I'll call you" He shouts at me. I stand up and face him.
"So that's how it is. I'm your call buddy. Whenever you need sex then I'm available right" I say crossing my arms and looking right in his eyes but he then breaks the eye contact.
"Your words not mine. If you put it that way then it's fine with me. I just want you to stay out of my business cause I can fix my own Fucking mess" he says calmly but you can hear the harshness in it.
"Thanks for letting me know where I stand in your life" I say looking down and tapping my foot.
"You welcome" he says looking out of the window.
"Just get the fuck out please" I say using his language.
He looks at me and gives a small laugh. I escort him out and when I open the door I find Kristen.
"I just came to tell you that Mr Stephens is here" she says looking between me and Vally who just clicks his tongue and walks out bumping me slightly.
"Are you okay girl?" She asks me as I turn around wiping my tears.
"Yes, I'm good" I tell her but she doesn't buy that.
"Baby girl, I can see you hurting. Let it all out please. It's worth it" she says and we both sit down on the couch with my head on her shoulder.
"I just don't know what to do anymore" I say in a sob. She puts her hand on my back and rubs it.
"It's okay. Love always has ups and downs. It's just one of those days, darling. I'll advice you to cry it out and forget it" she says kissing my head.
I might as well run out of tears if I have to cry it out. All I just wanted to do is help him. He has skeletons in his closet just like everyone else but his are haunting him even in broad daylight. I know he is hiding something which he never wants me to find out.
"Come on now clean up and act normal. Steph steph is on his way" she says and we both laugh. She helps me rinse my face and dry it. After that she puts on my makeup and fix my hair.
"Miss Bryson" Mr Stephens comes in to find me and Kristen working.
"Mr Stephens come in. Please take a seat" I tell him and Kristen greets him and leaves us to working.
"So she owns a very good brand of products mostly face products. Everyone is dying to get they hands on it especially our youth" he says and I sit listening to every word he says making sure to push out what just happened a few minutes ago.
"Now imagine us delivering those products to the stores. We could make millions trust me. Well her company doesn't have a delivering company which has made it difficult as people go directly to the factory and that's hard" he says.
After what feels like forever we get done with our meeting and I'm alone in the office. I take out my phone and search for the woman I'll be working with but nothing comes up. I'm trying to find hints that will help me nail this but there is absolutely nothing.
"We have to leave now. You can't work till very late woman" Jeven says while walking in my office. I smile at him and start packing. When I'm done I get a cab which drives me home.

"So your birthday is about to come how do you feel" Natalie asks me. I just woke up and am sitting on bed reading a magazine.
"Yeah Yeah. I don't care actually" I say turning over the page. I really don't care about it because it won't be the same without father. I know mother won't come. As for Vally , we haven't spoken for two days now.
"Wow, that's new. A girl is turning 22 and she doesn't care" Natalie comes and sits down with me on the bed.
"Right. Spill the beans" she says putting on her glasses and taking the magazine imitating a therapist.
"I just miss father sometimes" I say.
"Oh my that's hectic. But I know the solution here. You need to get laid" she says shocking me.
We both start laughing at each other. "We going to the zoo with Reece would you like to come?" She asks me.
I am in no mood for people right now. I just want to lay in bed and sleep. Or even sit and watch movies the whole day. "No, I have to prepare for my meeting which is in a few days" I say and pull her cheek.
"Okay fine. This house is haunted and not safe for you to be alone. A few weeks back I heard noise coming from the window and when I checked there was absolutely nothing. It even happened with Alex" she says getting out of bed with me.
I tidy up my bed and remember it also happened to me. "Oh, well Mr Spooky will keep me company then" I say and walk to the bathroom.
After my bath and dressing up into big comfy clothes I go downstairs.
I'm craving for some junk so I order. Sitting and watching Netflix movies the doorbell rings. I stand up and go get it since everyone is gone and I'm home alone.
"Thank you" I say while taking the packets full of junk food.
"No need to pay. It's sorted" the delivery guy tells me getting ready to leave.
"Wait stop. I only ordered. I never paid yet" I say and he stops to look at me. I don't remember paying anyone.
"You right. Someone paid.. I need to deliver the other things now" he says going out. I stand there feeling guilty. Maybe he got the orders mixed. I promise to call the store after eating the food.
Closing the door a leg stops it from fully closing.
H/ N : does she have a stalker maybe ?🤔
