Customer Or Lover

12

After a annoying day of shopping we finally went to his penthouse. He cleared a draw and space of closet for me and told me to put my things away. I did so quietly then when I was done took a much needed shower. I put on a new pair of underwear and bra with shorts and a tank top to put over it.

Rick had ordered us Chinese food and put in Rush hour. I sat on the couch tucking my feet under me and began eating. It was quiet through the movie and dinner but I was so lost in thought I didn't notice it. Feeling full and drowsy I yawned placing my head back on the couch closing my eyes.

"Rain, you aren't really going to sleep out here are you?"

"Yes, now go to bed."

He grunted and stood I peeked my eye open watching him clean away the garbage. Then he stood before me leaned down and picked me up throwing me over his shoulder.

"Hey! Let me down."

"Uh, no."

He carried me to his bedroom and threw me on my back on the bed. I was about to get up and walk back but he was removing his shirt. His tight stomach and chest was beautiful. He kicked off his shoes, then unbuckled his pants letting them fall off to the floor. I looked at his boxers a small whimper leaving my lips knowing what lay inside them. He crawled into bed and threw the covers on us pulling me to him. My back to his chest, my a$s pressing against his growing erection, his arm thrown over my waist with his fingers making lazy circles on my bellybutton.

"Why are you so different Rick?"

"What do you mean?"

"You saved me from the streets, gave me a place to stay, and used money on me because you wanted to not because I offered something. Also you've made me feel things I've never experienced before, things I thought I'd never feel. Why me?"

"Everything you lack to see in yourself I see. Your beautiful, strong and hurt. You shield yourself from anything trying to help you, anything trying to love you. I wanna be that exception."

"Nobody has ever loved me?"

"I do."

"How do you know that?"

"I feel it, I hurt when your not with me, I think of you all the time. I cannot explain it. I feel it in my heart, I do not need to know everything about you to know that I love you. Don't you feel something for me."

I sighed. The thing was I did feel something but I knew what happened when love entered your heart for a man. He hurt me and I couldn't take that especially from Rick.

"Rain please, tell me you feel something, anything for me."

"Goodnight Rick."

I rolled over stretching. I sat up seeing I was alone in bed. I stood and looked around the house, I was alone. I walked in the kitchen seeing a note on the table.

'Went to work, be back later'

I crumpled it and threw it away. He probably was angry about last night.

I showered and dressed in a mini skirt, heels and short sleeve button up with blue lace lingerie set underneath. My hair fell in curls around my face. I left going to The Training House.

"Good afternoon Shelly."

Shelly looked up gave a curt nod and looked back down. I walked closer to her, that was odd. Shelly was always jipper and happy why the mild hello.

"Shelly are you okay?"

"Uh, yeah why wouldn't I be?"

Her cheeks began to redden and she refused to look at me, it was obvious something was wrong but I wouldn't force her to tell me.

"Where's Rick?"

"Top floor, last door on your right."

I nodded and entered the elevator.

I knocked feeling nervous now that I was here, I wasn't even sure what I came for.

I opened the door to see Rick sitting at his desk he looked up and raised an eyebrow looking at my outfit. Then looked back down at his paperwork.

"May I help you?"

'Yes, I came to work."

"Your not on the clock today."

"That wasn't the agreement, you said I could work here."

The door opened and I turned to see Shelly, she saw me and immediately dropped her head.

"Ah, Shelly how may I help you?"

"Um, well... I."

Shelly was so jumpy and nervous. A blush was rising on her cheeks spreading to her chest and she kept figeting.

Rick smiled and then looked back down at his paperwork ignoring me.

"Shelly we will talk later when you are not so heavily distracted."

She nodded and left quickly.

"Rick, I came to work."

"Then why are you here, don't you have a corner to be at?"

The breath flew from my lips in a rush. My eyes watered and my lip began to tremble. I couldn't, just couldn't believe he would say something like that to me. I shook my head in disbelief, I wasn't hearing this. I took a step back putting space between us.He sighed and slammed his fist on the table.

I grabbed the doorknob backing out my eyes blurry from the tears clouding it.

"Rain, I'm..."

"Fu€k you! Fu€k you, you, you.. just stay the hell away from me you a$shole!"
