“Guys, this isn’t funny!” I say as I watch Chloe and Bianca laughing their asses off at my expense.
If looks could kill, mine would have killed them right now. What’s so hilarious about me having a heated moment with my boss while being stuck in the elevator with him?
Maybe it’s because they are so drunk that they find it so funny. I just got back from my shift and found them in my apartment, sprawled on my couch, snoring.
Apparently, after I left them last night, they decided to hit a club and didn’t leave until the early hours of this morning. Since my place is closer than their apartment, they opted to head down here and use their spare key.
Bianca snorts, cradling the bowl of hangover soup Chloe had made for both of them after I walked in and woke them up.
“I’m sorry,” she says, raising a hand. “It’s just you told us last night that you don’t have anything to do with your boss.”
“And now you decided to allow him to finger you into oblivion,” Chloe adds, laughing.
Now, I regret telling them about my encounter with Ethan in the elevator. It’s just that it was eating me up, and I needed to talk to someone. Vivian is sweet, but there’s no way I was going to tell her that I had a wild moment with the boss in the elevator.
“You both are so insufferable,” I grumble as I take off my shirt, leaving on my skirt and my bra. I need to take a shower, and maybe I can wash away this feeling.
“When you are done laughing, how about you both get out of my apartment?” I say, feigning anger. It’s hard to be angry at these two. They are practically family.
“Oh, don’t be like that, Jessy baby…let’s talk about you and your boss having wild sex in the elevator,” Chloe says and Bianca bursts into laughter.
I ignore their banting as I walk into my small bedroom and take off the rest of my clothes. As I pad barefoot into my bathroom, I can hear their voices as they laugh. I am sure they'll never let this go.
Most especially from Chloe, as she had asked me to try considering asking Ethan out, but I shunned the idea, saying I could never be caught with a ten-foot pole dining with Ethan.
As I turn on the shower and wash my body, I try not to think about Ethan’s hands on me and what his fingers did to me last night.
When I get out, I throw on an oversized polo and pad barefoot to my open-plan kitchen. I find Chloe and Bianca looking more sober.
“Sorry, we laughed,” Bianca says to me. “So, what are you going to do now?” she goes on to ask.
“You’re not thinking of quitting, are you?” Chloe asks, giving me a look that says it would be stupid of me to do that. True, it would indeed be a bad move for me to quit.
It might not be my dream job, but at least it’s paying my bills. I’m yet to get my first paycheck, but just from tips from guests, I’ve been able to hold off my landlord from changing my keys.
“What if you actually give him a chance?” Bianca says with a shrug. “Who knows…”
“No!” I quickly cut in.
“Why not?” Chloe asks. “You make it out to seem like this guy is a monster, but somehow you end up having him do you.”
I swallow hard as Chloe’s words cause me to have a flashback of Ethan’s fingers inside me. He’s good with them and other parts of his body quite all right, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a mean boss, and I don’t want to be associated with that.
“We are waiting,” Bianca says, bringing me out of my thoughts.
“Why are you so against giving this guy a chance?” Chloe asks, with a serious look.
“He’s my boss…”
“So? He’s the one coming at you, so that means he’s interested in you. If he’s single, I see no reason why not.”
“I don’t think that he is,’’ I murmur as I remember that sweet lady who had been at the hotel last night to see him.
“He’s in a relationship?” Bianca gasps like I just punched her.
