Tuesday, 12:39pm:

I tap my heel on the floor, chewing my burger. Nate stares at me intently. "How long has your mom been..sick?" He asks, making me look into his eyes.

"Two years." I mutter, looking back down.

"Does she-"

"Look, do we really have to talk about this? She has a year left, I wanted your money so I could get the doctors to do everything they possibly can but that idea has gone so just leave it." I snap before viciously biting into my burger again.

He remains silent.

After finishing my burger, I go to stand up but he grabs my wrist and pulls me back down. "Where are you going?" He asks.

I scoff and bite my tongue, refusing to make a scene in this calm and peaceful diner. "To fucking empty my bladder," I hiss under my breath, keeping my voice down so nobody can hear me except for him. "Is that okay with you or did I need to ask?"

He hesitantly let's go and points at me. "Alright, but be quick and no funny business." He warns before gesturing for me to go.

I roll my eyes and strut away to the bathroom. Whilst peeing, I think of many ideas.

If I get him to trust me by saying what he wants to hear, he'll give me a little bit of freedom. And then, I can take his money and leave. Hopefully.

I finish and wash my hands before jumping when I see Dee standing outside my stall. "Jesus, you scared me."

"You know," her high pitched voice says. "My name is Dee, not Jesus,"

I roll my eyes and bump past her to wash my hands. "You're pretty." She states, tilting her head at me.

"Thanks," I reply, looking at her through the reflection in the mirror. "So uh, how long have you been..."

"Working for Nate?" She asks, giggling. "Five years."

I gape at her, drying my hands with paper towels. "Five years? Damn, did he start this all when he was fifteen or something?"

"No," she giggles, playfully whacking my arm. "We were friends in high school, long story." She waves me off and opens the bathroom door for me.

I walk out and wait for her, intently interested. "I'm sure we have time."

She links her arm with mine. "That, Jay, is another conversation for another day."

We make our way back to Nate who waits at his car. "I didn't finish my burger." I pout, looking over at the waitress who cleans our table up.

Dee giggles and again, opens the door for me. "Don't worry sweetie, there's plenty of food back at home."

Home.

The poor girl.

"So what room do you sleep in?"

"Room one of course," She giggles and opens the car door for me, Nate smirks and climbs in the other side. She climbs into the driver's seat and starts the ignition. "We should hang out some time, since we'll be living together an all."

I smirk, raising my eyebrow whilst looking out of my window. That may have been the best idea I've heard today.

Get his workers on my side and I'll have him wrapped around my finger in no time.
