Chapter Six

"Cereal?" Kensie asked already pouring me a bowl before I even muttered out a response. A white bowl was placed in front of me filled up with cereal and milk making me feel slightly ill at the sight of it. I dug the spoon in the bowl collecting some of the cereal.

"How did you and Michael meet?" I asked trying to distract myself from forcing myself to eat,

"Childhood friends," she smiled "he gave me a job quite low down and well when you're forced to spend time with someone everyday feelings grow," she shrugged.

"How long you been together?"

"5 years,"

"That's a long time," I muttered

"It isn't that long if you love someone so much. Plus me and Michael are the lucky ones, not all workplace relationships last long,"

"I guess," I said sadness running through my voice as realisation hit. Not all workplace relationships last long.

"Anyway," she said finishing her cereal off and placing the bowl in the sink filling it up with water and dish soap. "What's up with you and Luke?"

"What do you mean?" I asked my full attention on her staring at me

"Nicky he's a good guy ok don't get me wrong but he has done this before with his last maid,"

"Again what do you mean?"

"He makes you fall for his charm, he gives you the job, makes you do what he wants and if something happens he don't like. You're fired. Not to scare you or anything," she laughed coming to sit by me "you done?" She asked referring to the half empty bowl in front of me making me nod.

"Well just have to make sure I don't do anything he won't like,"

"He's strict Nicky just don't let him do anything to you,"

"Hey darling," Luke smiled walking into the living room after a day at the office again "Have you eaten?" He asked making me nod and put down my phone and give him my full attention.

"Kensie ordered me some food," I informed him making him nod, "Luke?" I called out as he started to leave the room making him turn back and look at me over his shoulder "never mind," I muttered deciding to not mention when kensie told me about his past maid.

"Ok darling ok," he walked out the living room heading up the stairs. My attention went towards my phone as it lit up with messages from David making me smile as it's been a while since I spoke to my best friend.

David 🙋🏽‍♂️
Hey Nicky hope you are feeling a lot better now. Sorry about freaking out with driving I didn't mean to crash into that car.

Me
Sure you didn't David. You saw it coming! You got me hospitalised

David 🙋🏽‍♂️
I was trying to get you away from that guy Nick

Me
Who was he?
Seen

I scoffed as David left me on read making me throw my phone to the chair next to me. A sharp pain shot through my stomach making my hands grip it and apply pressure. A noise of pain and agony escaped my lips making Petunia alert next to me.

"Nicky?" Luke rushes back into the living room, now wearing grey sweatpants and no shirt showing me he was getting changed.

"I don't know what's up luke," I screamed feeling another pain shot through my stomach making him run towards me, his hands replacing mine and rubbing soothing circles in my skin.

"You're ok you're ok," he kept repeating making me focus on his voice more then the pain.

"Make it stop!" I sobbed seeing him look at me helplessly

"I wish I could darling, I wish I could," he stood up quickly running towards the kitchen leaving me alone again with the pain brewing inside my body.

"Here," he muttered handing me cold water and paracetamol to ease the pain. I placed the small pill in my mouth before swallowing it with water. The cold liquid carried the pill down, dissolving it as it travelled easing the pain slightly. "There you go," He whispered running his hand through my hair tangling it more then it already was. "What was that?"

"I don't know Luke. I've never experienced it before." I admitted leaning back into the sofa and closing my eyes. I felt movement beside me as he pulled me forward slightly. A body slid behind me wrapping their arms tightly still rubbing my stomach where the pains previously were.

"I got in contact with jack," he quietly muttered not wanting to break the peace we created

"I got in contact with David,"

"Did he say anything?"

"He apologised for crashing saying he wanted to get me away from jack."

"Jack knows something David don't want you to know," Luke sighed closing his own eyes and leaning back. "Jack is going to come over in a few weeks to talk about it. He knows you Nicky. He may know how you got drugged. Who drugged you."

"That's all I want to know, and what happened when it did," I sighed thoughts running through my mind.

What did the person want? Was it meant to be me? Who were they? Was it a random guy? What did they do to me? Why don't I remember it? Why did I wake up in pain? Why, why, why?

"Do you not remember anything from that day?" Luke asked kissing behind my ear before snuggling his head into my neck.

"I remember-,"

Music was pumping through my body, the bass thumping through my veins. I gripped my handbag holding onto David's arm as I walked through the club being dragged straight towards the bar.

"We are celebrating tonight!" David cheered ordering out drinks making everyone clap around us. "You got a job!" He yelled making me laugh

"Ive had multiple jobs before David,"

"Not at the same workplace," he scoffed giving me a glass and necking his own one back.

"I'm good," I yelled at him to be heard over the music as I placed the glass back down on the bar top missing the look David threw my way. The music pounded in my ears as I looked around seeing girls grinding on guys, people making out and people fighting.

"Nicky just one," David begged pushing me the glass back. I sighed holding it still looking around, my eyes locked with jacks as I took the first sip of the night, feeling the warmth travel down my throat.

Cheers were heard around me as I took more and more sips, spoons finishing of the glass.

"Get me another one, I'll be right back just gotta go pee," I whispered in David's ear heading towards the bathroom, pushing past sweaty bodies blocking the way. I pushed past the queue not caring about the girls waiting for the toilet before me. I headed out the bathroom after going heading back towards the bad spotting my best friend straight away. My eyes locked with jacks as he rapidly shook his head confusing me as I had never met him before. My hand slid along the bar before gripping the glass and necking it back again,

"And then it all went black. I don't remember what happened," I finished hearing Luke sigh behind me

"That doesn't show who drugged you,just shows that Jack definitely knows," luke muttered shaking his own head. "Do you not remember anything else?" He begged making me shake my head

"I don't luke I wish I did..."
