R&R

Chapter 10

Oh god! I manifested it, I spoke about it today and now he was coming over, I did this to myself! I was panicking.

"Hey Randy." I smiled in a friendly manor. The friendliest I could manage...

"Hey, listen I think someone fucked up at Athena." He pulled a piece of paper out his back pocket. "They've put 20% in my name." He placed the letter in my hand.

The blood in my body went cold. He wasn't supposed to find out! "Wait how do you know?" I frowned opening the letter.

"Well I make a specific amount of money every month and this month was a lot higher so I looked into it and it was coming from Athena." He pulled his phone out. "So I tried to call Athena but they said you weren't in so I decided to come find you." He shrugged. "I will send the money back if you give me a number." He explained.

"It wasn't a mistake." I sighed, I wasn't going to tell Randy at all but I guess he was a lot more on top of his money than I expected. "I put 20% of the company in your name." I sighed deeply.

His brows furrowed. "Why?" He looked deeply confused.

I rubbed my eyes. "Because it makes me feel better." I was stressed having to talk about this.

Randy shifted his weight onto one leg. "It.. Makes..." He wasn't making sense of this at all.

"Ugh!" I groaned. "You brought me into this life, you gave me a place to call home and people to call family, you taught me how to live in this life and I owe you everything so if it makes me feel better to give you 20% of my company then let me!" I admitted. I walked away right after feeling utterly humiliated.

"Hee!" I heard his small giggle behind me as I stormed off like a moody teenager. I went straight into my apartment and lay facedown on my bed. I groaned at myself as I replayed that last interaction over and over again.

I haven't spoken to him in so long and that was how we spoke for the first time?! I groaned again and hit my pillow with my fist. I should have just walked away telling him I was busy. God damnit! I cringed harder at myself.

I slammed my face into the pillow again, maybe this time it will knock the memory out of my head. April and Ramee were coming home tomorrow so I had something to do tomorrow but as for today... I wanted to be swallowed up... but luckily, I had Athena to work on.

I pulled out my phone and I had endless emails. I let out a big sigh, at least with this, I knew what to say. I sat for a few hours replying to emails and trying to fix problems.

I sat on the edge of my bed and placed my phone beside me. I felt drained, I wanted to get up to no good like I did the night before... I felt the need for bloodshed... I hadn't killed another person in years and I only just felt the need for the fight. I walked down to the cubby looking for Mr. K.

He wasn't in the main part so I made my way up into his apartment. He was sitting on his chair on his phone.

"Hey K!" I sat across from him.

"Ray." He smiled warmly as he looked up from the light of his phone.

"I have a favour to ask." I leaned back comfortably.

K smiled wider and put his phone in his pocket. "What can I do for you my little darling?" His eyes crinkled at the sides.

"Well as you know I've been busy with Athena for the past few years..." I looked at my hands. "And my hands have gotten too clean, I need a fight Mr. K." I admitted with a sigh. "I need a mission or something, even throw one of the boys my way and I'll fight them." I felt like I was begging him, and I didn't even care.
