This was one of those moments when I knew that going out on that date would be so, so wrong but still I knew that those 1000 bucks could use to me, especially since I have to pay for the apparment soon.
I blankly stared at him, trying to figure out what to do. On one side was Justin who was cocky, irritating, my ex and offering me 1000 $ for just one night, one date, buisness diner or whatever. Oh, yes, and he has a wife who is out of town and two kids I babysit.
On the other side I had Sasha who really was nice, polite, lovable and my boss. Also, she was Justin's wife (as I mentioned 100 times before...) and she could easily fire me if she ever finds out. Besides, Justin could go by himself, it wouldn't kill him!
Finally, I spoke out: "No. No. I'm not doing it. Sorry, Justin but you're gonna have to find somebody else to escort you." With that, I quickly grabbed my jacket and added: "My work time is over. See you tomorrow!"
Before Justin got to say anything, I shut the doors closed and rushed out of the big garden and to the NY streets, hurrying like devil itself is hauting me. 'Date. 1000 dollars. One evening. And Sasha.' those were just few of my thoughts.
'You did right thing, Selena.' I said to myself, gulping out as I rushed towards my small appartment.

It would be a bit underestimating to say that next day relations between Justin and me were awkward. I haven't spoken not a single word to him before he got to work except for short 'hi' and 'bye'.
Sighing, I took Rosalie's and Jackson's hand, stepping out of the big house on the chilly New York streets with them to take them to kindergarden that I knew how to reach just by Google Map.
"What did you and daddy talk about yesterday?" suddenly Rosalie spoke out, catching me off of guard. "Um.. he... he warned me not to give sweets to Jackson...." I lied out, pretty badly as always. I'm such an idiot if I can't lie to five year old!
"Oh..." Rosalie simply muttered, frowning lightly.

Finally, after taking kids to the kindergarden and cleaning up a but, my work time was nearly over and I was just about to go home when I suddenly heard a doorbell.
'Doesn't Justin have a key?' I wondered with a frown, opening just so I'd see a young woman who looked about my age standing there. She had dark, long and slightly wavy hair and big, round, dark eyes that seemed kind of childish - innocent.
But, that surely was the only innocent thing on her since she had a challenging red dress on herself and very high heels and way too much make-up for my taste.
"Yes?" I asked, slightly smirking. "Is Justin here? I'm Elodie, his date..." she said, causing me to freeze.
