Chapter 5 You Can Do This

• Kimberly’s POV
• As soon as I entered the washroom, I splash water on my face trying to calm my nerves down.
• “What is wrong with you Kimberly? Why are you screwing things up for yourself?”. I question myself as I stare at myself in the mirror.
• I don’t don’t know why I move away from the man earlier on. He must think I am a freak then. I just know that I didn’t blew my chance away.
• I pulled out my phone and put a call to Susan. She picked the call at one dial.
• “Hello Kimberly why are you calling me? Is everything alright?.” Susan asked in a concerned tone. It touch my heart that i do have someone like her in my life.
• “Yes… I mean No! Gush I don’t know!.” I exclaimed frustrated at myself.
• “Okay Calm down girl. Take a deep breath and tell me what’s wrong.” Susan encouraged through the phone.
• I did as she instructed. I took in a deep breath before I explained what happened since I came into the penthouse.
• “Let me get you right. You are trying to tell me that the man tried to touch you and you freak out?”. Susan asked with the hint of shock in her voice.
• “Emm.. something like that!”. I stuttered.
• “Geez Kimberly what is wrong with you? Don’t you want the money anymore or have you forgotten that your live and your mother’s it’s at risk?”. Susan yelled through the phone.
• “It’s was not intentionally. I just panicked!”. I defended myself.
• “Per your explanation, the man is handsome and so I don’t know why you so called panicked. Now I want you to go back in there and do your part right. In anything think how desperately you need the money. That should keep you on your toes!”. Susan said and cut the call.
• “Wow such a wonderful help she is!”. I said and rolled my eyes. I took deep breath in and out as I try to calm my nerves down.
• “You can do this Kimberly! You can do this!” I prep talk myself before I went out the washroom.
• “Sorry about that i…” I started to apologize and then I noticed that the lounge room is empty.
• “Well then congratulations to you Kimberly. You managed to scare him away.” I said to myself before I sank into the sofa.
• I sat uncomfortably on the sofa as I pray and wait for the man to reappear from where he went to. After waiting for about five minutes and there is no sign of him, I decided to take a sip from the bottle on the table so that it can help me calm my nerves.
• I opened the drink and poured a small portion into the glass.
• Immediately I took a sip, I spitted everything out out of my mouth. It’s so bitter. I don’t understand how people enjoy alcohol when it taste like something this.
• Even though I hated the bitter taste of the drink, I found myself taking another sip of it. And from one sip to another one and soon I was gulping the whole bottle.
• After drinking the remaining content in the bottle, I started to feel dizzy and so I laid down on the sofa to take a rest.
• *****
• I woke up feeling as if I have been hit by a train. I placed my hand on my head as I try to seat up.
• “Where the hell am I?”. I wondered as I look around the unfamiliar luxurious suite. I look down at my body that is covered in a fur duvet. My eyes immediately widened up when I notice that I am just wearing my undies and black T-shirt. Aside that I am bare.
• “Ahhhhh!.” I shouted. I immediately whined after that. My head aches badly now. It’s as if someone is continuous hitting my head with a hammer.
• The door of the room open and the handsome man from last night entered into the room.
• “Hey are you okay? I heard you scream..” He asked with concern laced in his voice.
• I didn’t answer because my brain is frozen. I didn’t say a word but kept staring at his chest.
• The man is not wearing a shirt and so his upper body is naked for my eyes to feed on.
• “Sweet mother of god!”. He has a body of a Greek god. His chest is broad and firm. He must really work out a lot because he has eight packs. And also V lines that leaves nothing for you the imagination.
• “Are you done staring? Because you have a drool at the side of your mouth!”. The man smirked at me.
• I immediately put my hand and the side of my mouth to clean it but nothing it actually there. I glare at him making him to laugh.
• “Assshh!.” I placed my hand back at my head because the pain is back now that I am back to reality.
• “Sorry that’s what happened when you drink too much. Here this will relieve you of the pain!”. The man said and picked a tablet of drug from the bed stool along side a glass of water and pass it to me.
• “Thank you!”. I shyly said.
• “My pleasure!”. The man smiled at me.
• “Emm… Can I ask you something?”. I asked
• “Sure!”.
• “Em… did anything happen between us yesterday?”. I asked with my head down.
• “You mean to ask if we had sex?.” The man bluntly asked.
• “Y-Yes!”. I answered blushing.
• “No. I found you pass out in the lounge. Moreover I am not the type of guy that takes advantage of ladies!”. The man said in a voice that sound as if he is offended with my question.
• “Sorry Sir. I don’t mean to offend you!”. I apologized. The last thing I wanted is to offend a client.
• “It’s fine. And please call me Lucas. I will leave you get freshened up. Your clothes are in the the cupboard.” The man said and he excused himself from the room.
• It was after he left that I realized how much I mess things up for myself. I need I passed out before we could have sex yesterday. So that’s means I am not actually getting the money then.
