The Debt

CHAPTER 2: In One Day, Really?!?

~STONE~

         I have been under a lot of stress for the past couple of weeks with all the shit that's been going on. Especially with a guy named Axel and the tattoo shop I had helped him buy.

          This douche bag has been a mistake since the beginning and has made me regret the decision of ever loaning him the money.

          In fact, the only reason I ever even helped him out at first was because Trey, my VP and best friend, it's his cousin. So I trusted Trey's judgement, despite the fact I felt uneasy around Axel.

         As soon as I was about to head out the door, I stopped when I heard my phone go off.

         "What's up Trey?" I answered.

         "Hey man." Trey began. "Tonight we need to make sure that everything is all set up for Axel's birthday at the bar." Trey reminds me.

          "Yeah. Don't worry. The guys are actually finishing up making sure everything will be okay." I assure him. Though I really would like to not be there tonight. Except that I already promised Trey and I'm not someone that breaks my promises.

            "Alright bro. Thanks again. See ya tonight right?" He asks.

            "Yeah. Don't worry." I tell him.

           "Okay. Later." He says to me.

           "Later." I reply back before we hung up.

           It was bad enough that I had to see Axel today for business and was now having to also see him tonight. Fuck me, I can't wait to get this shit over with. And that girl better be there to pay me back.

*****************************************

           After arriving at the shop, I took in a deep breath and let it out before entering.

          As soon as I walked in, everyone looked up at me, especially Axel. His look was priceless as I could tell that he was scared shitless.

          He followed me back to the office and shut the door behind us while I took a seat behind the desk.

          "So what's up?" Axel tries to make nice pretending to sound like he likes and respects me when we both know better.

          "Look, I have told you before and I will not repeat myself again, let us cut the bullshit and always get right to the point. First off, we both know that we don't like each other, so there's no need to pretend and besides, Trey isn't here, so you really don't need to try so hard in pretending with me. Also, you know why I'm here." I tell him.

           "Yeah well, I don't have all the money." He tells me.

           "You sure about that?" I ask him, knowing that he's lying to me.

           "Yes. Besides, you should know, your guys do the numbers for this place." He says to me all smart-ass like attitude.

           "That's why I'm here." I fire back.

           "Yeah well, then you know I don't have anything for you. So your visit here is pointless and you're wasting both of our time." He fires back.

            "It's pathetic and makes you look more of a bitch when you act all tough around me especially, whenever Trey isn't around." I smirk.

            "Whatever." He replies while rolling his eyes at me.

           "Anyways, I'm here to tell you that I know the figures and that I am here to up my percentage for the earnings of this shop." I told him.

          "The fuck you are! You can't go and change shit like that!" He says.

          "Hey! Don't EVER forget your place! And besides, it's my money and I can do whatever the fuck I want to with it! I own the majority of this place anyways." I remind him.

           He doesn't reply. Instead he just stands there furious and wanting to say something as well as hit me as I can see his fists ball tightly.

           "Now I've gotta get going. And if you have any issues with the new change, then you can kiss yours and your slut girlfriend's business, goodbye." I assure him with a smirk.

           "It's fine." He says through gritted teeth.

          Right before I open up the door to leave, I look at him once more, "oh and Happy Birthday. See ya tonight." I tell him again, with a smirk and all sarcastically.

         Then as soon as I open up the door, and take not even two steps out, I bump into someone. Well, more like they bumped into me.

        "What the fuck?!" I snap at the person.

         Then when I see it's the same girl that spilled her coffee all over me not too long ago, I then look down at the white shirt I was wearing and see that she has just spilled old used up ink all over my shirt.

         "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. Shit." She starts saying again. "Oh my god, it's you." She says surprised and shocked. "I truly am sorry and if you give me a minute I can give you some money for this shirt and your other one." She says.

         "Fuck it. I'm in a hurry. Just watch where the hell you're going!" I snap at her.

         I then start walking out and get onto my bike thinking this day couldn't possibly get any worse and how that girl needs to be fucking fired. And instead of getting even more pissed off and filled with more rage, I decide to go to Tobi's place to release some frustration off before tonight.

        I know what you are all thinking and you'd be right. I don't do that relationship lovey dovey bullshit. And besides, I got needs and with Tobi, the best part is her and I understand our agreement and have no strings attached.
