Chapter 2 : Hot Mess.

Today was Monday.

It was my day off, and yet I couldn’t help but feel on edge as I sat in a café outside of Tassi’s office building, waiting for her to take her break.

I kept my head down, avoiding eye contact with everyone around me. My hand nervously reached up to play with my hair, only to realize I had tied it up in a messy ponytail.

“Out on a date?” I jumped in surprise, before looking up to see one of Suzy’s regulars standing beside me with a handsome grin.

“Officer Connors!” I found myself blushing under his gaze. I do love a man in uniform, and he looked really good in his. “I am actually waiting for a friend.”

“Mind if I waited with you, I’m on my break,” he asked while I eagerly gestured to the chair across.

“Not at all,” my heart was beating so fast in my chest. I wondered if my cheeks were red because my face felt like it was on fire.

“So that friend that you are waiting for, it wouldn’t happen to be that pretty redhead, would it?” He took a sip of the coffee in his hand while I found myself deflating in disappointment.

“The one and only,” I pretended to sip my caramel cappuccino. I prayed that he would just get it over with and ask me to introduce him to Tassi, instead of wasting my time.

“The first time I saw her, I didn’t think that someone like you would be friends with someone like her.”

I immediately took offense to his words. “What do you mean someone like me?”

“I don't mean anything bad by it, I just meant that you look like a down to earth kind of girl. Fun. Adventurous.” He hesitated, trying to find to the right word for Tassi. “And she…well…”

“Sexy, classy, witty and drop-dead gorgeous,” I listed the words I heard people used to describe Tassi.

“Yeah, but she is also snotty, high maintenance and prissy. No offense.”

“None taken,” I made a sound at what he said. “She is not that bad, once you get to know her.”

“I hope I am not being too forward, but I rather get to know you instead.” He had a dazzling dimpled smile and his eyes were so blue.

“Me?” I stupidly pointed at myself, just to be sure I heard him correctly. “Why are you so surprised?”

“Well, no one ever asked me out before,” I shyly admit it out to him, and now it was his turn to be stunned. “You are kidding, right?”

“It’s been a while. No big deal.” I tried to act cool about it, while Officer Connors leaned forward with a huge grin. “How long?”

“First year of college, I had to lose my virginity sometime in my life. Too bad it didn’t work out though, he was just my type too except for one small detail that ruined everything.” I enjoyed my cold beverage, feeling happier knowing that for once Tassi wasn’t the reason I was getting attention from the opposite sex.

“What was it?”

“He was a Trekkie and I was and still am, a follower of the dark side,” I said with such seriousness that officer Connors couldn’t stop himself from laughing at my holier than thou expression.

“Am I interrupting?”

“It looks like the Balrog is here,” he lightly joked.

“Excuse me? What did you just call me?” Tassi had no clue what he meant yet knew it was an insult pointed at her.

“Easy there Gandalf. It’s a dork joke, Tassi.” I sent her a reassuring smile as she sharply studied the man who kept me amused.

“A friend of yours?”

“This is officer Connors. He is more of an acquaintance, and one of Suzy's regular customer.”

“Andrew J. Connors, nice to meet you, ma'am.” He politely got up and introduced himself before offering a hand for a friendly handshake, to which Tassi reluctantly had to accept.

“I was just keeping Morin here company, hope you don’t mind.”

“Do ya feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?” We shared another laugh at my comment which seemed to annoy Tassi even more. “That's nice and all, but we are late for brunch.”

“Oh right!” I quickly stood up and grabbed my messenger bag. “Well, it was good seeing you officer, but we got to get going.”

I never noticed how tall he was as I craned my neck up to look at him. “No problem at all.” He gave me another heart-racing smile.

“Yeah,” my cheeks felt hot again.

“Let’s go,” Tassi saved me from making a fool of myself as she pulled me away. “Good day officer.”

                                                            +++++++++++++++

“I will have a strawberry salad, the salmon special and an appletini.” Tassi slapped the menu closed and handed it back to the waiter who couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

“I will have the Swedish meatballs, the squid ink pasta, and water please.” I wondered if he even heard me, because not once did he even glanced in my direction, before taking my menu and walking away with Tassi’s, and what I hoped was my orders as well.

“Why do I have a feeling I am not going to get what I ordered.” Tassi didn’t respond to my attempt to lighten the mood. “Do you like that guy?”

“The waiter? Not really, he didn’t even bother to write what I wanted down.” I gave her a strange look while her face turned dark at my answer. “Not him! The officer!”

“I guess, he is pretty cute, right?” She was not pleased with what she was hearing. “I have seen better.”

“Of course you have,” I mumbled out under my breath before looking away with a tired sigh.

I really hate dining at a fancy restaurant, I always feel out of place, unlike Tassi who fits in so easily.

Dressed in only a simple black pencil skirt and a cream silk blouse, she was able to catch the eyes of most men in the room. Her dyed red hair was held up in a French twist, allowing her swan-like neck to be displayed.

“You are not listening to me,” she was upset at my lack of attention to her. “Sorry, I was just thinking about the meeting you are having tonight.”

I sent her a weak smile while her expression softened at my concern. “Its just business talk, nothing serious for you to worry about.”

She then slowly reaches across the table to grab hold of one of my hands with a tender smile. “You are the only person I hold dear to my heart.”

Those words never fail to amuse me, after all, that is not something you would say to someone who raped you three years ago.

“That's something I would never forget.” Tassi mistook my comment as a reply to her. “Of course you wouldn't, I say it to you almost every day.”

I can still remember the day when I first saw her, her long blond hair glistering in the sun. The light blue jean she was wearing, hung low and hugged her skin so tight.

The baby pink halter top made her skin glow. Everyone envied her, everyone wanted to be her friend, yet I was the one who had, had her hands tied above her head, her mouth sealed with a gag ball and her legs spread wide open with her opening drenched and repeatedly violated.

“Yeah I know, and besides, I doubt you will ever find anyone who knows you better than me, Tassi.” I playfully wiggled my eyebrows at her while she giggled at my subtle hints.

The expression that she gave me was delicate and beautiful, however, it was nothing compared to her face on that memorable day.

Tears flowed down her cheeks. Humiliation, hate, pain and anger burned in her eyes. Her body was so responsive and obedient, even though her mind has yet to cooperate.

“Here are your drinks ladies.”

I felt myself growing wet at that particular fond memory. To me, Anastasia Stankovska had never looked more like the masterpiece she truly was than, in that single moment.

              +++++++++++++++

Anastasia Stankovska knows very well what she was capable of, with her looks and body, she believes that she could easily make any lesser man cum with a single look.

Well educated and currently working a somewhat admirable job, you would think she would be satisfied with what she has, but she was not.

No, she wanted more in life. Anastasia knows very well how far your looks and body could take you and that is why for the last two hours, she has been riding Senator Wendell’s assistant cock like it was god gift to her. 

The man was pathetic in her eyes, if she hasn’t spiked his drink, she wouldn't be surprised if he even lasts more than ten minutes.

“Annie, slow down!” His face repulsed her, it lacked a single strong character and was so ordinary and uninteresting.

His crooked teeth latched on to her breast while his tongue played with her nipple ring. His hand kept slapping her butt cheeks as if she was a horse.

She hated men like him, but knowledge is power and power can be traded for something as equally as powerful if not more for it.

Money.

She felt him cum in the condom before she pulled him out of her. “You know Annie, I think you are the best thing New York has to offer, I mean the billing agreement is not going to happen.”

He reached over for the glass of wine on the bedside table and drowned it in one go, before spilling even more government secrets for his precious Annie to hear.

Her hand was already wrapped around him, pumping him up for another round, while he laughs at her need for him. “Shouldn’t you let me rest first, I haven’t cum this much since my honeymoon and that was ten years ago.”

“But I want to enjoy our time together while you are still here.” She pouted prettily up at him as he grabbed her breasts and began to knead them. “We got all night Annie, what's the rush? You don't need to be anywhere, but here with me.”

Except she did, because forty minutes away, Momo was waiting for her at an Irish pub, and she was still here with a man who enjoys watching his cock go into her.

“I am planning on leaving my wife for you,” he roughly pinched her nipple while she faked a moan.

What a load of bullshit.

“I love making you cum.”

That was also another load of bull, she had only cummed once tonight and it was by her own fingers, while he jerked off and came all over her face.

“Alright, I'm ready for another round. Get on your knees, I want to fuck you like the bitch in heat that you are, my Annie.”

Anastasia wanted to groan out in an annoyance, yet held it and instead got down on all four and seductive waved her ass in his direction.

The dealer did say the drug was long-lasting and it was her own fault for not bringing some sleeping pills, in case she needed to knock him out.

“Harder! Fuck me harder baby!” If she had to stay here longer, she was going to drill him for everything he was worth.

                   +++++++++++++++

“Miss, can I get you another beer?” I peeked down at my phone.

It was nine-seventeen.

I have been waiting here since seven-thirty and the bartender was starting to feel sorry for me.

“Nah, that's alright. I will just pay and go home.” I reached into my pocket and pulled out some cash, before leaving it on the counter. “Keep the change.”

I slide off the tall stool and headed for the exit. “She could at least send me a text or something,” I paused in my step when the wooden door flung open and a group of rowdy men stepped in.

I kept my head down and my eyes glued to my phone as I waited for them to move so I could leave.

“Morin?”

“Officer Connors? Nice to see you here,” I blinked up in surprise. I really didn’t expect to bump into him again, at least not without Suzy's bagel and coffee in his hands.

“Me and the boys come here once a week,” he gestured to his fellow officers who were all in civilian clothing. “That's great and all, but I’m on my way out, so enjoy your night Officer.”

“Its Andy actually since I am off duty, and why don’t you join us?”

“It’s okay, I don’t want to intrude.” I slowly took a step back, hoping to make my escape while he took a huge step forward and cornered me.

“You won’t be intruding. It will be fun, trust me.” His presence was so commanding and the way he held his ground and stared me down was so exciting.

“Well…” I stole a peek from the side at his friends before caving in. “Alright, but only for a little while.”

“That’s my girl.” I instantly liked the sound of that as I felt him place his hand on my back and guided me to their table, where three other off duty officers were sitting and smirking at us.

“Who’s your friend?” His friend teased him with a knowing smile, before sharing a grin with his buddies.

“Guys, this is Morin. She works at Suzy's.” Andy introduced us as I gave them a quiet hello and pulled out a chair to sit down.

“Never seen her here there, and I have seen them all.” Another one spoke up, this one looked like he was starting to gain weight and will not be stopping anytime soon.

“I’m actually the delivery girl, so sorry to disappoint you that you will never see me dressed up in a banana suit, but if you like I can get you a pair. I am sure you and Suzy are about the same size.” I inwardly panicked as soon as I said those words, but immediately calmed down when they all burst out laughing.

“Girl got a bite, just my type. Nice to meet you, I'm Nick.” Nick was the true image of tall, dark and handsome.

“That’s Mark who you just sassed and this is Ryan.” Ryan looked to be the youngest among them. His nose was a little crooked and he had a small scar right above his right brow.

“Delivery job huh? No offense, you are a pretty girl, I'm sure you can get a better job somewhere else.” Nick went into interrogating mode, his brown eyes gleaming playfully.

“Why not a delivery job? What other kinds of job do you think a business graduate like me should do instead,” I challenged him and before he could reply, I held up a finger to cut him off.

“And before you say escort, I already tried, sadly they are not hiring at the moment, so right now I am just waiting for that telephone conversation with lonely men company to call me back.”

Ryan choked on his beer while the guys weren’t sure whether to laugh at me or him. “You are good.”
Nick liked how dirty I was.

“No need to tell me, I already know I am amazing,” I confidently flicked my dark curled hair over my shoulder with a stuck up expression, sending the boys into another fit. “Hey, pal! Can we get some more beer here, and an extra cold one for the lady!”

I thought the boys would stick around longer, but after thirty minutes, they all made obvious excuses and left me alone with Andy.
