Chapter 7 - Chapter 7

As I left the hotel premises the reality of what just happened dawned on me. I have just been fired! 

I feel like crying, honestly as contrary to the indifferent behavior I had displayed in Mr. Fred's office I desperately need this job. My survival and that of my wholye family depends on it. I know I have another night job but both of their incomes combined together barely covers our basic expenses and now I have lost one of the jobs. How will we survive now? 

I have no one else to blame but myself. Why couldn't I just get on my knees and apologize to him? Why must I behave so stubbornly? I am so, so, so stupid! 

My refusal to go down on my knees was not motivated by pride. I mean I clean people's toilets for a living. What is there to be proud of in that? I did want to go down on my knees and apologize to both of them but there was this deceptive and mischievousness in Liam's eyes when he looked at me that told me it wouldn't have made any difference. I would still have been fired regardless. He just wanted to humiliate me. At least I still have my dignity. 

I suddenly felt a discomfortable grumble in my stomach that prompted me to place a hand on my belly in pain.

"Ouch." Hunger! I am really hungry. 

Too bad one can't buy food with dignity. 

"Eesh," I signed regrettably, swallowing my saliva afterwards.

Maybe I should have just knelt down and apologized. My intuition might be wrong and I would have not been fired. Well it's too late now. I have been banned from stepping foot in the premises ever again. I best be leaving, the security guards are already giving me that aggressive, unwelcoming look.

I stopped walking to take one last look at the hotel and the sun nearly blinded my eyes as the building stretched almost to the sky itself being more than a 100 storey high. It's a really impressive structure, Sky Blue hotel.

"I will miss working here," I said softly, my face turning sad…

I can't even afford to take a cab now that I have lost one of my jobs so I rode a bus instead. What am I saying? I always take the bus even when I had two jobs. I think my hunger is causing me to experience partial amnesia.

Inside the bus I sat quietly enduring the hunger pangs in my stomach. I should try and sleep at least that would cause me to forget my pain and suffering momentarily. However Liam still managed to rob me of my peace and sleep also. 

You may ask how? Well my seat partner- a pretty young lady about same age as me but with a more childish look with her uniquely, weird braided hairstyle that looks like little mickey mouse' ears on her head and her flashy pink outfit that was giving off this Barbie vibes was conversing with her two friends that sat in front of us and yeah the topic of their discussion was Liam!!!

"Take a look at this picture of Liam. He looks so cute!!" One of the girls at the front with unusually long eyelashes and a thick red lipstick said, handing over her phone to the one seated beside me.

"OMG!" Her friend screamed almost flying out of her chair as if her butt had been bitten by a dangerous bug and honestly I was scared.

I wanted to ask her if she was alright but then.

"He is super cute. Just look at his face. Just so perfect!" She started saying, literally drooling over her phone and I couldn't help but feel irritated.

So all that was just because of a picture of Liam! 

Honestly I felt like just snatching her phone and smashing it on the floor but then I remembered I have lost my job. How would I get her a new phone??

I tried my best to ignore them and just endure their nonsense until I got to my bus stop but it was almost impossible as they were so loud and the more I kept hearing that name Liam my whole body just kept boiling as if I was water in a kettle. However I still continue minding my business but then.

"Hey babe, take a look. Isn't he remarkably gorgeous?!" the girl beside me said, flashing her phone in my face. 

On the screen of her phone was a picture of Liam posing like a model and truth be told he was good looking in the picture but I would say he looks way more handsome in real life than in pictures. 

The picture didn't really capture the uniqueness of his face. High cheekbones that looked like they were chiseled by an invisible sculptor with a perfectly framed jawline that looked like they could cut through uncertainty with its precision. The picture didn't also do justice to his eyes. Those eyes of his, they were..... wait a minute. Am I really complimenting that jerk look?! That fool that got me fired?!!

Hell no! I quickly snapped out of my silly thoughts and faced the girl beside me, my displeasure and annoyance clearly visible.

"He is far from being gorgeous. In fact he is as ugly as a gorilla!" I said, slightly louder than I should as I was annoyed and my seat partner alongside her two friends in front all gasped in shock at the same time.

"Y..You just called our idol ugly??" The one with the long eyelashes and thick, red lipstick said, her eyes shining like a bulb.

"No, she must be joking. You are pulling our legs right?" The other lady in the front said and her face had gone pale like she had fallen sick.

The way they were behaving and staring at me one would think I have committed a grievous crime or something.

"I am not joking. Just look at him very well and you will see he is so ugly. Just take a look at his head. It's so big like that of a gorilla's,' I said and they kept gasping at every negative word that came out of my mouth.

"Take that back this instance!" My seat partner fired at me, her Barbie childish look had transformed into that of a fire spitting dragon as her whole face had gone red out of pure rage.

"Sorry. But it's the truth. He is very ugly," I insisted and it was as if that was the final straw. 

"That's it!" She clenched her fist before she stood up.

I actually thought she wanted to punch me in the face and honestly I was ready to fight back. I am not scared of a barbie wannabe, Liam fanatic. However..

"We have a Liam hater over here!" She screamed out and every single lady both old and young rose up angrily from their seats.

"Who dares speak bad against our idol!" They all gathered around me like they wanted to maul me.

WTF! They are all Liam fanatics! Now I am scared. I am very scared!

After getting all the information I wanted about that cleaning lady, Amelia from the hotel manager I left his office heading to the underground car park but as I got near to the lift that would take me down I noticed something was not right.

Why in the hell is this girl following me about? She even had her arm locked in mine with her head resting on my arm like we were a couple. 

Yuck!

"What are you doing?" I asked with a frown and a confused expression spread across Hela's face.

"I..I don't understand," she said and I took my eyes to my arm that she held.

"Sorry," she quickly apologized, letting go of my arm as she understood my eyes language.

"Why are you following me?" I asked.

"Ain't we leaving together?" She said softly and I replied with a question of my own.

"Did we come together?" 

"No but I came to see you so I thought we would be leaving together plus I didn't drive here," she said innocently.

"It seems you have forgotten yourself. Remind me who is your boyfriend again?" I said since she needed some memory jotting.

She went quiet for a few seconds before "Felix ," she replied softly, 

"Yes Felix not Liam. So you can't be seen moving with me all affectionately inside a hotel premises nevermind riding with me. You never know where these paparazzi are hiding. I am sure you wouldn't like for your dear boyfriend to get a picture of us together. Would you?" I said and she shook her head.

"No," she replied, though something was telling me she wouldn't mind.

"Good. Now be a good girl and order a ride will you?" I said and she nodded looking sad but I didn't really care.

Just then the lift opened up and there was only one person inside. My invisible antenna rang at the sight of her.

My God! 

.

She is so pretty. Just take a look at that slender but curvy body in the shape of an hourglass. There is not a single blemish on her skin. It is clear and smooth like she had never felt the damaging rays of the sun in her entire life! I couldn't take my eyes off her as her tight, black V neck gown perfectly highlighted her succulent, full boobs that had enough cleavage opening which left very little to the imagination. However what really caught my attention is her smooth, sexy, long legs that looked like the most scrumptious meal and I just wished I could bite it. Who said I couldn't though?

As soon as the lady in the lift saw me she gave me this shy flirtatious smile. Looks like she is feeling me. Of course she is feeling me. I am the hottest man in the world!

I quickly got in the lift, Hela also wanted to join but I stopped her before she could get in.

"It's already filled. Wait for it to come back up or use another one. Better still you can make use of the stairs. You need the exercise as you are getting fat," I said and she looked perplexed

"What? It's just the two of you in there. There is more than enough room for me to fit in and I am not fat," she said stating the obvious and I just frowned.

"Must you argue? You just want to be following me about. Just do as I say," I said in a raised voice and she became submissive.

"I am sorry. I will wait," she agreed but she glared angrily at the pretty lady inside the elevator. She must have known it was because I wanted my privacy with the lady that's why I wasn't allowing her to ride the lift with us.

Closing the lift I turned to face the beautiful, sexy thing who was just blushing all over at my side.

Without wasting no time."Here, you have something on your lips, let me help you wipe it off," I said, then pressed my lips against hers and she kissed me back, throwing her arms around my neck while I held her by the waist.

As the kissing intensified my hands moved to her soft butt and I gave it a very hard squeeze and that caused her to moan into my mouth….

Pulling away to catch my breath I stared intensely at her lustful and hungry eyes.

"Go down on your knees and suck me," I ordered and she smiled and went down her knees, eagerly unbuckling my belt.

Just that easy! It has always been this easy to get any lady I want so why did a common cleaning lady reject me then? I couldn't help but wonder and it caused my blood to boil in anger.
