Katana's Revenge

The Business Card

Song: Love the way you lie part 1 and 2 by Eminem and Rihanna

When I leave for the night, there is a dark car parked by mine. I start fumbling with my keys when I hear the door open and footsteps come closer to me. I start to panic because I wasn't for sure who it was and I have been in the wrong places at wrong times before, shit this can't be happening.

But then I hear his voice, I drop the keys to the pavement. "Hi." He bends down to pick the keys up and hands them to me.

I gasp, catching my breath, "Hi."

"So how long have you been working for Harold?" He motions towards the building behind me.

I roll my eyes. What the hell is he getting at. "Uhm...over half a year. Why?"

"How about you come work for me. I have several restaurants and I heard you want to cook."

I look back at him like he is crazy. Is th iui s guys going around asking about me. "How do you know I want to cook?"

"Harold and I go way back; look I'm sure he isn't paying you that much. What minimum wage; I will double it."

"Why?" I look at him suspiciously. "You don't even know me."

"Well this way I will get to know you. At least come check it out. Here is one of my cards." He hands me this small card with fancy writing on it.

"I...I...don't know what to say."

"Say you will come. Hell I will triple your pay if that's what it takes," he smirks.

I let the numbers run through my head, triple the pay. At the moment I'm making ten an hour. There is no way he would be willing to give me thirty dollars per hour, no way in hell. I laugh.

"What is funny. You don't believe me do you?"

"I don't even know you. You could trick me and murder me for all I know."

He has a shit eating grin now on his face and I see a sparkle in his eye. He steps a little closer to me and I feel my breath catch. "If I wanted to kill you I would have done it already. I wouldn't be standing here offering you a position."

I look down at the card. "Can I think about it?"

"Of course, see you tomorrow." He turns to walk off before I can even say anything.

When I get home, Raine is waiting up for me. He follows me to the bedroom and helps take my clothes off. His hands play in my hair and he pulls me into him, kissing all over my lips and neck, making his way down to my breast as he unfastens my bra.

"Hey...let me jump in the shower first."

"I want you now," he manages to get out between nibbling on me. He picks me up and tosses me lightly on the bed, then climbs in. We have hot sex, mad loving sex, like we haven't been together in forever. When he is done he lays beside me and then the words out of his mouth stings. "You are mine. I don't like seeing others look at you or touching you...it pisses me off."

I gulp, "What are you talking about?"

"That dickhead, the one that interrupted us in the hallway. I saw the way he looked at you. I didn't like it. I didn't like him touching your hand or grabbing you."

"He is just a regular; he is harmless."

He twists my hair in his hands and pulls enough to cock my neck back to look me in the eye. "The fuck he is, if I ever see him look at you that way again so help me."

I push him off of me and sit up in the bed. "Raine...he is fucking harmless. He was just being nice."

"Yeah well I don't like it."
