Chapter 5 - Chapter Five

"I will be reading some intense erotic stories for those of my listeners who had always dreamt about me bringing them to orgasms, I will help them experience it" Roth said, he turned to look at tristan with a mischevious grin on his face and then giving Tristan's his breathtaking smile, as he walked out of the booth, entering his own booth.

He adjusted the microphone, put on his headphones, and gave Tristan a signal. Tristan gave him the finger signal, and immediately, he was live on air.

"Welcome back, dear listeners! I'm sorry we won't be taking more calls. It's time for me to make you pleasure yourself to a mind-blowing orgasm tonight. Are you ready? If you have your toys, being them out, I want you to take off your clothes, put off the light, lay down on the bed, close your eyes, and let's begin" Roth adjusted his seat, drawing the microphone closer to his mouth, he looked over at Tristan who gave him a small smile and a Go ahead Nod.

" I need you to play soft music for the listeners, can you?" Roth whispered.

"I got you," Tristan whispered back, going through the playlist, until he found the perfect music for the atmosphere.

"Damn, damn, damn," Ruby muttered, leaning over the coffee shop front counter, pen in hand, attempting to find a way to make college possible. Sadly, the numbers didn't seem to want to co-operate. As it appeared, financially, college just wasn't going to be happening for her this coming fall semester. There was no way around it. She was barely making enough to survive as it was.

She was making so many sacrifices, too many as a matter of fact. Having to cut back on the hours she worked at the coffee shop in order to attend school while paying the massive tuition wouldn't work. As it was, the cost of living was a financial burden that was more than she could handle at the present time. "Damn," she cursed again a little more loudly than she intended, as she rolled the offending list of expenses up in her fist, turned, and tossed the paper ball into the nearby garbage can.

The paper ball hit the back of the can and fell in soundlessly. "Impressive shot." Ruby sighed as she turned back towards the counter and gave Roth a faint smile. Any other day, she would have loved seeing Roth - his visits were normally the highlight of her afternoon.

However, today was different. Not even the sight of her secret crush could brighten her day. Nope, not even the tall, lean, dark-haired hunk in the finely tailored suit with the piercing dark eyes could take her mind off of her troubles. "Afternoon Mr Rothdam," Ruby said solemnly.

Leaning an elbow on the beige marble counter separating them, roth smiled at her. His sweet, seductive smile helped melt the icy mood she'd been in, up until that point - slightly. "So, come on, tell me what's bothering you? Where's that beautiful smile you usually present me with?" He had a warm yet concerned look on his face. "Oh I got it! Is your boss being a jerk?" he teased lightly.

A smile began to lift the corners of Ruby's lips for the first time that day as she shook her head. "No." He raised an inquisitive brow at her.

"Oh, I definitely got it now. Boyfriend troubles, right?"

Her smile widened. "Hardly." Grabbing a large paper cup from the dispenser, she began to pour his coffee.

"The usual?" she asked, ignoring his question. She didn't want to be spilling her financial woes to customers - not even Roth and as for her non-existent love life - she really didn't want to be spilling that to him. Roth nodded.

"Okay I'm done guessing," he gave a little chuckle. "Then tell me? What's wrong?"

Ruby secured the plastic lid onto the cup and sighed, sliding the cup across the counter to him. Crossing her arms over her chest, she leaned her hip against the counter and caught his gaze.

"Do you really want to know, or are you just being polite?" Damn, he looks good today. The top button of his off-white shirt was undone. His black satin tie hung loosely around his neck.

He looked as though he could have just walked off the pages of GQ magazine.' He was, without a doubt, one of the hottest men she'd ever met. His easygoing demeanour and sinfully sexy smile complimented his good looks perfectly. Does he even know how hot he is? She found herself wondering, Of course he does... How could he not?

Roth chuckled. "I really want to know. Wouldn't have asked if I didn't."

Ruby huffed. "Well, the problem is that I just can't catch a break."Can't catch a break!!!"

Grabbing a bill from his trousers pocket, he passed it to her as he accepted the coffee. "Why do you say that?"

Accepting the payment, she rang in his total and proceeded to give him his change. When she offered it to him, as usual, he waved it off, so she dropped it into her tip jar. The tip equalled roughly three times the cost of the coffee; he was easily the best tipper to walk through the doors of the coffee shop.

"Well, I'm halfway through college, and there is no way I'm going to afford to be able to go back next year. I can barely pay my bills even with all the overtime I put in this place. Like, take this week, for instance. I have a choice... do I pay my electricity or my telephone bill?"

Roth nodded, appearing grim, but amusement gleamed in his eyes as she continued on. All of a sudden, the dam broke, and the need to purge her grievances was overwhelming, so she continued her rant, the words falling from her lips like verbal diarrhoea that she was helpless to stop.

"So that means I'm stuck here. At the shitty dead end job for another year. Hell, maybe even the rest of my life! I'm twenty-three years old and facing a lifetime of being the doughnut girl. It wouldn't even be so bad if I had a boyfriend, or hell, got laid once in a while. But no. None of that either. The only men I seem to attract are criminals, married men, or unemployed losers." Ruby huffed and shook her head in defeat. "Just can't catch a break..."
