A Dangerous Sub (gxg)

"You rent this place?" Amberle asked confusion reflected within her voice as she ran her fingers along the countertop. Every visible inch of the apartment she scanned was neat, spacious and bigger than her place. The view overlooking the neighbourhood was nice and speaking of the neighbourhood it was quiet, immediately the girl felt like she'd get used to the place.

"I've been renting it for some time now." Answered Joslyn and Amberle turned to her, she stood behind her with her arms crossed over her chest, casually slumped against the counter where her hips rested. Her disposition exuded sophistication, confidence and pride in herself and the girl found it somewhat intimidating. Why was she bothered by this woman all of a sudden? Usually, she was valiant and unfazed but now she felt a tension wielding up in her body. Amberle couldn't specify what exactly the woman's deal was but she knew she was beginning to like her a little.

"Why do you feel the need to rent this place when you already have a home?" asked the girl and the woman laughed.

"Because its sort of like a little getaway. A place I can escape to when I'm frustrated, a place to be me," Joslyn replied.

"What is it that is so stressful about your life that you need another house just to be yourself?"

"You'll soon find out, it's not something I could explain right now, but in time you'll know."

"Okay,"

If it wasn't obvious before it was now because the woman saw the scepticism on the girl's face and the time Joslyn spent staring chills sauntered across Amber's body. The way rapt eyes beamed encouraged the girl's chest to tighten. Why was she so affected by her? Was it because of the intimate setting, or because she finally got her attention? Whatever the reason that caused the girl to feel that way was a definite no for her. The woman was married, she might be down for anything but shagging a married woman was where Amberle drew the line.

Turning away from the woman after an intense gaze, she heard her mumble and then the sound of her searching through her purse filled the vicinity.

"Now, I expect you to adhere to a couple of rules since you'll be occupying my hideaway from now. One, I expect you to keep this apartment spotless, two, there are to be no parties, no friends or guests over, three, no drugs are to be used in here and finally, don't touch anything that belongs to me, do you understand?" Joslyn listed her expectations and the girl wavered them within ger mind before responding.

"So I'm not to invite anyone at all?"

"No one. Also, you can't reveal to anyone that I'm renting this place."

"Why not?"

Joslyn was beginning to make things look a bit fishy there and the girl couldn't help but wonder why then it hit her. "Ohh, you're cheating on your husband and you don't want him to know, I get it," Amberle whispered, smirking at the solemn face, it didn't even blink as she studied her. Quickly the smile drops from her face.

"Have you heard anything that I said to you?" She asked and the young girl raised both her thumbs up in response. "Clear as crystal,"

"Good, now here's a copy of the contract I want you to sign. Take your time and read through everything and if you have any questions about it you can ask them when I'm here tomorrow, understood?"

"Yeah, understood,"

Joslyn gathered her things ready to leave, but Amberle was still unsure about a few things. "Wait, so when am I going to get the money to pay Stacy?"

"When you sign those papers, so I'm assuming tomorrow?" The girl took a look at the booklet-like contract. "I guess."

"Oh and another thing, there isn't any food in here so you'll have to go out and get, I hid some money in that bedroom over there. Should be underneath the pillows.

"Got it,"

"I'll be back around lunch tomorrow, don't touch anything," the older woman reiterates. "Do have a good night Ms Wilson," Joslyn said to her with a sternness before the clicking of her heels indicated her departure.
