Saphire

5

Saphire was almost done for the day. Her co worker Lisa will be substituting her work for the day. She filed the informations of the guests check in and check out list so Lisa will not have a hard time identifying which room to give.

It was almost six pm and her job was done for the day. She is so excited to go home and spend time with kids. Two weeks had passed since the meeting of Mr. Vasiliv and Roger and its also been weeks since Roger put the motel into Saphires care from cleaning to assisting the guests. It was really tiring and Takes too much of her time working from dawn to sunset. She wondered what happened to the meeting and strangely Roger left without even saying anything but a note saying he'll be away for weeks.

However that leaves her to have a good pay for her coming payday. She wanted to treat the kids a happy meal and tour them to the nearest carnival in town.

'A drug cartel has been found and captured by the police last night at 11:00. Police said the syndicate behind this agenda was still unknown. However, the investigation was still going upto this very moment and hope—'

"What a boring news! Drugs are everywhere! What's new to that?" Lisa said flipping the channel from one to another.

"Do you believe that?" She asked. Lisa only shrugged and continue flipping the channel.

"I was once an addict Saphire, I know drugs can't be killed. They might have that now, but it will banished." Saphire only nod. "Anyways! There's a boquet of tulips outside, it was name for you. Been recieving flowers for the past week, eh? Aint that sweet." Lisa teased.

Saphire only rolled her eyes. But she always wonder where the flowers came from. It was only name for her but never had the sender affixed his name. How she wished she knew so she could thank him or her for the beautifuly picked flowers. Everyday, every flowers she recieved puts a smile to her face.

"So, I'll be leaving now. Good night Lisa." She said waving her off goodbye not before hearing Lisa shout 'nyt' at her.

Saphire was awoken by a continous ringinh of her door bell. His brother was sleeping with Dara, Cara and baby mia in the other room, thankfully in the far end area so the door bell could not be too loud to wake them up.

She looked at the clock and realize it's only 2 am. She barely got 4 hrs of sleep since the kids slept at 11 pm that night.

She stomped her feet irritatingly, pulled her bunny slippers and walked out her room yawning. She looked in the peephole to see no one outside. 'Must be her naughty neighbor again' she thought.

She was about to head back to her room when the door clicked behind her. She remembered she locked the door, she even checked ittwice last night. Was she mistaken? Did she forgot?

She looked behind her and see the man she was thinking for weeks. Dark haired, tanned skinned, big and tall, with his dark charcoal eyes. How can she forget a specimen like him?

Realizing the moment, Saphire did realize he just get inside her home easily.

"W-w-what are you doing? How did you get in!" She shrieked and on instinct she quickly pulled an umbrella to defend her. She will noy be fooled by him, appearance could be decieving. "How the hell did you get in!"

She heared him hissed and cussed. His right hand resting in wall while trying to keep himself standing.

"Shut the hell up woman! And dont you dare raise your voice on me again or I'll swear— fuck!" Now that she took him in, he leaked a lot of alcohol. He might be drunk and had his ass off drag his way to her home. But why her home? How did he know where she lives?

"I'm sorry.... but it's so rude of you to barged in my home! You could've been a stranger... or a—a murderer!" She said balancing wether she would be glad it was him or angry of the state he was in. She was never good of handling drunk people. Her father was a drunkard and most of the time he got home drunk, that leads to her mom got beaten out, leaving her ugly black & blue bruises  in the morning. He was a good a father though, but he was never a good husband.

Adjusting himself, IVAN took her appearance looking sat her bunny slippers to her face. He had never seen a woman so beautiful in a big loose blue dress pajama that compliments her eyes, messy hair and little dried drool in the corner of her lips. He smirked at that. In another time he might have been disgusted with that but this petite woman standing in front of him, also checking him out seems to capture every little attention around her.

Saphire really felt intimidated on the way he looked at her. She never had any man enter her home but now and she undoubtedly feel safe in his presence. She looked at him adjusting and seems like he is on his tipsy state now. She shamelessly checked him out head to toe and oh how sexy he looked like in a black fitted shirt and a loose black cargo pants. She saw the smirked planted on his lips and thats what realization dawned on her. She cupped her cheeks and rushed to check herself in the bathroom leaving Ivan standing in the doorway cocking his head to the side.

"A minute! Just-just, please help yourself!" She shouted from the bathroom. Seeing herself at the mirror realizing how embarrassing she looked like awhile ago.
