HÖRNY BOSS

Chapter 3

🔞 VERA 🔞

"No, I didn't go to work, I suddenly feel gross… I mean, about yesterday… gosh, I already wrote a resignation letter, but I don't know how to face him and hand it in…" I blurted to Hannah on the phone.

She had left last night when I couldn't stop talking about what I did and what I wanted to do and… she thought I had completely gone crazy, so she went back to her beautiful family.

Hannah doesn't know how much I envy her. She has everything a woman would ever dream for. A rich, good-looking and understanding man for a husband, beautiful and amazing kids running around her garden.

She doesn't know that I crave for all that too, but I think the problem I have about trusting men is based on experience and what happened to my family. If love really existed, then why say it's over as if it means nothing at all? 

"Whatever! Your father keeps calling me and I don't know what to say to him about you, that's why I called. If you like, fûck Nathan, your next door neighbor, it's your pûssy!" She said nauseously.

"Who told you I haven't fûcked him? Nathan is…"

"I'm not surprised… you were once a nymphomaniac, I think your last relationship which you were sex-starved is what you actually deserve to keep you in control. Stop dodging the important thing, what should I say to your father. I might get angry and send him your number or address!" She laughed.

"That's not funny. Nathan is a church boy, don't get thoughts into your head, he's dedicated to the Almighty, he has been trying to convert me." I laughed too. 

"Anyways, you can choose to either block that old man or throw your phone away. Don't you ever give out my number to him or anyone else and definitely not my address! Get lost!!" I cut the call and threw the phone aside.

I drained the cup of coffee I made before Hannah's call interrupted and got myself busy trying to fix myself lunch since I stayed in bed all morning and didn't think about breakfast.

A knock came to my door while I sliced veggies for porridge. "Who?" I asked, going to check through the keyhole.

"It's me Nathan! I need a favor from you, Vera!!" 

"Get your ass in. You didn't go to work?" I asked as he came in and hovered around my kitchen like his old puppy used to do before he sold it off.

"Being a vet is stressful sometimes. I don't want to breathe those horrible animals today, I think my neighbor's rice porridge smells better! You didn't go?" He laughed, sniffing around my cooking pot.

"What's up with you today? Anyway, I…"

His phone rang and he excused himself to take the call. He went outside for the first time to take a call. I smiled knowingly, he's started to do himself some good as a man. 

If he was someone I fancy, I would have had it hard with him a long time ago, even with all his saintly behavior. I'm not just ready for men. The few men that have been into my life are all good for nothing scumbags!

"Why is he taking so much time to answer a call today? I was glad to have his company." I mumbled to myself.

I sat down when my food was ready to enjoy my lunch when another knock came. "Hey! Don't break my door, asshole!! If you are done with the call, come right in, you left the door open." 

"Your doorbell isn't working?" 

The food travelling to my mouth stopped halfway and fell back into the plate, the porridge sprinkled on my thighs. I choked even though I hadn't taken anything and I grabbed the glass of water on the table.
