My Princess

Day 2: Aftermath (Vaggie's POV)

After the events at the Magne Holiday house Vaggie drowned herself in her work, devoting most of her time to the hotel. In the last few days the hotel has been getting more and more tenants every week which made her a little happier. But things aren't the same since Charlie left with... him. Everytime she thinks of her ex she starts crying and runs to Charlie's old office, her new one. She started drinking the day after the fight and her "breakup" with Charlie, and she drank a lot. It used to be after her shifts and at night but now it's in the middle of the day where people can see her and she didn't care anymore. She has been losing a battle with depression and she didn't care, she thought nobody did. Since Nifty quit the hotel it's been hard to find a suitable replacement for her. The bills were still outrageously high and the money she made wasn't even close to making the payments.

More recently Angel has been committing more and more to the hotel, even when he wasn't there. His second job (prostitute) made a lot of money and he gave whatever money he could to his uptight friend. Vaggie always said no but he didn't care, he would leave a couple hundred bucks on her desk every morning around 2:00 in an envelope with a stupidly cute message written on it. The recent one was 'don't go too crazy, toots', it made her laugh a little. She's gone so far into debt she asked the overlord Velvet for some money to help her with the payments. Velvet agreed with some "conditions".

"You now work for me and you now owe me money and I don't like it when people owe me money. I'll give you enough money this time without wanting anything in return, but from now on when I need your services for something I get them. Do I make myself clear, little moth?"

Vaggie snarled under her breath "crystal clear."

"Good, here's your money. Think of this as my 'generosity.'"

Angel tried to warn her about the consequences of her actions but she only replied with sarcasm and malice towards her friend. Angel realized it was just the liquor talking and started to help his friend. They talked for hours and hours on end and Vaggie was starting to TRUST Angel (yeah, I know right that's crazy XD). She's never opened up to anyone, especially Angel so this is a big deal. She wanted to just die because of all the events that happened.

The next morning was just like any other day, work, work and more work. Vaggie went to the bar for her morning drink but hesitated when she grabbed the drink. She put the drink down and snapped her fingers at Husk, who turned around pissed off.

"Can you hold onto this for me Husk, I need to get to work."

"Yeah sure, whatever, just don't snap at me again you hear me?"

She nodded and walked out of the bar and went to her office. When she arrived at her desk she realized that there was a huge mountain of paperwork on her desk and she groaned. Sheet after sheet of paper disappeared and she was getting more and more tired. She realized it was noon and she needed to get something to eat. She walked down to the cafeteria and made a sandwich. As she sat down a tenant of the hotel noticed her and sat down next to her. The girl was very pretty, she had chestnut brown hair with emerald green eyes and a small, sweet smile. Vaggie blushed at her and she had to recollect herself.

"Hello, are you the owner? I need help with these papers to be part of the rehabilitation program and I'm struggling with these questions."

She had a sweet innocent voice and it was adorable!! Vaggie didn't know what to do. She collected herself and answered this girls' questions.

"Okay, what's your name hun?"

"Oh, my name?"

"Mhm, what's your name?"

"My name is Jasmine Victoria."

'Good lord that's a pretty name.'

"Okay, when did you die?"

'I died... 1863 of rape."

'I'm sorry to hear that, what's the specific date? It's required, I'm sorry if this is too personal."

"No no no, you're okay! The exact date I died was March 18, 1863. I'm 23."

"Wow, you're only 23... anyway why caused you to go to Hell?"

"Apparently I'm not allowed to be with the one I love. I had a girlfriend when I was alive and she was perfect, but since 'my kind' wasn't accepted so someone raped her. I murdered the fucker who did it and was raped and killed myself. It was worth it for the person I love."

(personal note, if I went too far with that let me know and I can see if I can make it less fucked up).

Vaggie couldn't believe what she was hearing, she's never heard something like this before EVER. She didn't know what to do or say. She decided just to talk to her later in private and deal with these papers while she still has her attention. She finished the paperwork and checked if everything looked good.

"Alright everything seems to be in order!'

"Thank you so much, you're the best!

"Yeah, anytime! So... what are you doing tomorrow night..?"

They both blushed, Vaggie came out of nowhere with that question. There were other people in the cafeteria but it seemed like there was an unsettling silence. Jasmine finally broke the silence and sounded as nervous as Vaggie felt.

"Uh... I'm not doing anything tomorrow night. Do you wanna go on a date..?"

"Yeah..?"

"Okay! I'll wear my best dress to it! What time works for you?"

"I dunno, does seven work for you? It's right after my shift."

"Sure! I'll see you then, and thank you so much for helping me."

"Anytime, see you at seven then!"

She nodded in excitement and left the cafeteria, and Vaggie still sat in her seat daydreaming. She didn't even notice Angel sitting next to her giving the 'you like Krabby Patties, don't you Squidward~' face. When she came to she squealed at the sight of her new best friend. He just giggled and gave her a devilish smile. He just grabbed her by the arm and took her to his room. She was so confused but when he pulled out a shitton of money out of his dresser drawer she went wide-eyed. Angel gave her half and went to put fresh clothes on.

"Angel... what are you doing..?"

"Whatcha think toots, we're goin' shoppin' for your date tomorrow!"
