the apartment he said with a sigh....
when you got admitted in the hospital, your landlord came to my building claiming for his money as you told him that , if he's looking for you , my building would be the first that he should go to( coffee shop)
so he came to my building asking for you and he threatened to sell every one of your belongings , I paid for your apartment the one month that you were in, which make it a total of 32 800 dollars that you owe me ,do the calculations and you will get the same ammount I got unless you have zero knowledge about numbers
I have all the pay slips ,so dont think I'm lying to you,and even if I wanted to lie,you be the last person I would think of lieng to ,I don't have that time for stupidity,
now if you agree to stay ,work and pay off my debts ,you will have to decide soon ,and I need you honesty in this.
he said with no emotion on his face ,
Ariah's was so terrified with the ammount of money she owed to him ,she was grateful that he gave her a job ,otherwise it could have been her worse nightmare
,being homeless ,
unemployed
and having debts to pay off
she gathered all her courage and told him looking him straight in the eyes filling the room with no joke or empathy, she was ready to go down in her ways to pay off his debt and leave him in peace because she knows and feels it in her heart that it was going to be a long and hard way living with him , although not exactly in the same house
but she know she has to do it.
I have decided to go on with the work you gave me sir,until then ,no new arrangement should be done ,I should remain were I am till the last minute of my stay ,I would like you to give me some extra work to do to cover all expenses ;Tariah said
Edward have seen it with his eyes that Tariah didn't want anything to do with him ,she has made it clear although not exactly with the use of direct words but her tone and action says it all,
a narrow pain ignited in his heart when Tariah showed that she doesn't want anything to do with him ,
he doesn't know why he feel rejected
,hurt
,frustrated
because If someone was in her shoes she would jump in joy of getting a chance to even share a little conversation with him ,but here she is, not even affected by his presence.
Edward took a long breath that he himself didn't know he was holding for long, mybe her beauty finally took his breath away ,ha ha ha ...he thought to himself.
"I wasn't gonna waste my time on your decision, its not like you have any other choice but to do what I want, or maybe you were thinking of going down the road and self off that thing you call a body"Eddie said making his way out of the room living Tariah speechless and emotional.
Arrogant bastard
The whole night Tariah couldn't sleep, she had so many thoughts going in her mind ,so many questions,she was at her most vulnerable state,she had little energy left in her for tomorrow 's day,but she knew it god dam well,she couldn't let emotion get the best of her,so she wipe away her tears and called it a night
..bang! bang!
the noise was coming from the door ,who could it be at this time of the morning Tariah thought to herself ,while dragging herself to stand from the bed.
Before she could make it to the door,a furious man walked in , Tariah couldn't bring the pieces together of what exactly was happening nor could she see the man's clear face ,Tariah thought she was still dreaming, the man drag her forcefully when she was only dressed in her pajamas ,(thats no gentlemen at all) she thought to herself.
Edward drag Tariah till his kitchen,
who did you all thought it was
so the man I mean Edward said"it's the first day of your work and you are arleady giving me the wrong impression , so you tell me !do you want this job or ?you want to o around whoring you think I'm holding you against your will, damn I'm not even happy that you are here, I feel suffocated, but being the gentleman I am, I still went ahead and gave you sheltering me a penny I will be feeding you, but you are failing to do simple household chores- you can't even manage your time you "Edward said In one go without giving Tariah to say even a single word.
"Are you done? "tariah said
wherever she got the courage to talk to him like that she should keep it that way, you have to stand up for yourself or nobody else will, but maybe she's digging her grave way too early.
" do you have any slightest idea of what time I slept yesterday, or your just barking for your satisfaction, for your kind information I woke up early today, I came knocking and ringing the bell a couple of times at 5:00 but you were still sleeping or doing whatever you want hence I decided to go back to sleep coz I needed it
I wonder how you even own this house if you are such a heavy sleeper, it's you who doesn't know how to manage your time look at the time it almost 10 in the morning, what time do you start with your work " Tariah
I told you I won't go to work without having breakfast, and it's none of your god damn business what I was doing, so get your ass in the kitchen now, don't waste my time!! Edward said
"now Edward wants to eat breakfast, what changed all of the sudden that he wants to spend 2 hours in his house just for breakfast, whatever thing that changed I don't like it one bit, do I want breakfast or I'm looking for ways to admire that beautiful face again, "Edward said mentally.
