Masked Feelings

Chapter 44: Work

Gordon sat in front of me in the restaurant. Kelsey was just beside him while Jax thought it would be cool to sit next to me. "So what were you doing before?" Jax asked, attracting the attention of Kelsey and Gordon. I blinked several times, not knowing what to say. What was I supposed to say?

Hey! I was a stripper?

"I used to babysit at time" I lied. "I'm currently studying psychology" I then said. They all nodded while smiling.

"What's your age?" Gordon asked as a little frown made its way on his face.

"Twenty and you?" I directed the questions to all the three of them. Soon, the waiter came with our food.

"I'm twenty four" Kelsey said, making my eyes go wide. I would have guessed that she was twenty or twenty one.

"Twenty five" Gordon and Jax answered at the same time. I nodded. I felt like a baby. Kelsey seemed to notice that and laughed. She lightly patted my back in a reassuring way.

"I look like I'm twelve" Kelsey said, making Jax and Gordon nod agreement, earning a playful glare from Kelsey herself.

"How did you get the job?" Jax asked as he ate his chips. I don't know why, I wasn't getting good vibes from that guy. He was wiggling his eyebrows at me as if I... Slept for this job. Damn. I didn't. Yes. I did sleep with Damian. But not for this job.

"My sister is married with Damian's brother" I told them as I pushed my food in my plate. I felt uncomfortable talking about Damian. What if they think I sleep with the boss? Well, I did. But not now. Damn. I wouldn't hesitate to sleep with that sexy ass man again. I miss his touch. I miss his sweet words that he'd whisper when he'd thrust in me. I missed him. I loved the way he'd smirk.

"Hello! Athena!" I blinked several times when I realized that someone was waving their hand in front of my face with chips between their fingers. I stared at the owner of the hands and glared at the man who was trying to get oil on my face. "You spaced out" He said as he put the chips in his mouth.

"Not reason to put these chips on my face" I retorted playfully.

"They were in front of your face" Gordon rectified.

"Close enough to touch my face though" I added.

"But they didn't touch it" He said with a proud grin.

"You guys are like kids" Kelsey sighed as she smiled at us. I shrugged and smiled back. We then ate our food while talking about the work. Their advices were really helpful and I learnt about things or persons that I should be avoiding.

Before leaving, I ordered a sandwich for Damian,knowing that he hadn't eaten yet. His meeting was more important that his food. I rolled my eyes as I picked up the wrapped sandwich and walked to the door where my new friends were waiting for me.

"Hey, I was thinking about something" Kelsey started as we made our way back to work. We walked till this small restaurant from the building where we worked as it was really close.

"Enlighten me" I said as we followed the guys.

"Each Friday, we go to the club with other friends from work, do you want to join us?" Kelsey asked me with a small smile. I thought about it for a few seconds. Rose was not here. She was at her parents and I was left alone with no close friends. I did have friends with whom I study but they were not as close as Rose. Kelsey seemed to be the kind of person I'd love to hang out with.

"That would be cool" I told her as we reached the building. Just as I was about to push open the door, I saw a familiar face walking in my direction. I quickly moved to the side to let Kelsey walk in. She turned and stared at me in confusion. "Tell Mr Spears that I'm talking to a friend, I'll be coming in a few" I said and watched as she nodded. Gordon and Jax, both smiled and walked in.
