You Smell Like Trouble.

Chapter 5: A Taste

After Blade left, I helped Maria clean and I've been sitting down, reading with her all day. Turns out, we have a common taste: Smut. Yeah, Maria's a lot older than me (she's forty-five) but she's got taste. And she's pretty down-to-earth.

"Girl, I've read Devious Lies too and I was dripping!" Maria says.

"Literally! Don't even get me started on Nash!" I squeal.

Maria's eyes suddenly widen and she looks horrified, "Ah, dios mio!"

"Huh? What?!"

"I forgot to give Blaze his lunch!" she stands up and rushes over to the refrigerator. "Come, come!" she calls out to me.

I rush over to her and she hands me his lunch, "I'll send you his address. I need you to run this to his office ASAP! He gets hangry." she says.

"O-okay."

I rush over to the door and slide my UGG boots on. I look such a wreck right now. I'm wearing a pair of black leggings and a burgundy knitted-sweater jumper.

"I'm leaving!"

"Thank you!"

When I leave and close the door behind me, my phone dings. It's Maria with the address.

I put it into maps and it says its an hour by foot. Like hell, I'm walking all the way over there.

I look up and see a Taxi. I wave it down and he stops. I show him the address and we start driving.

We eventually pull up to his office, and might I say, it's beautiful. It's so tall and fancy.

I walk inside and scan all around. The decor is lovely.

"You're Mr. Guiao's fiance. Are you here to see him?" the receptionist asks.

"Oh, yes."

"Take the elevator to the top floor. His office is straight down the hallway." she smiles.

"Okay, thanks."

While waiting for the elevator, I notice the small table with Oreos on it. I pick one up and take a bite: they're stale.

I spit it out fast then the elevator opens. I'll clean that up when I come back down.

The elevator ride takes about two minutes, but I finally reach his floor. His looks so different from the rest of the building. The color theme is very obviously black, and everyone up here seems to be in the "know" of his actual business.

As I walk, two guys stare at me with smirks. The moment I start walking pass them, I flinch at them and they jump.

"Pussies."

"What did you just call us?" one guy says.

I ignore them and pick up the pace a bit. Fuck, his office is far.

I hear their feet moving faster and faster after me so I eventually end up running.

I get to Blade's door and start banging on it, "hey, open the damn door!" I say while staring back at them.

Right as they approach me, the door opens. Blade looks at me in anger and confusion then I see a girl behind him, put her shirt on. Oh?

"What the hell is this?" I ask him angrily.

"Watch your mouth, Natani-"

"Don't 'watch your mouth, Natania' me. You just yelled at me earlier for "cheating" and now you're quite literally doing it!"
