Chapter 5 - Clarissa

"I don't do bit by bit"

Those words kept ringing in my head.

He is so smug and cocky probably a Neanderthal even.

His two piece suit, fancy haircut and all, brownish with a hint of green sharp brown eyes, chiseled jaw and all

Wait,

Are you trying to disrespect him or admire him?

No, I'm not trying to.....

Oh forget it, that was like a literal encounter with a freaking Greek god.

He's probably hotter than a Greek god ever could be.

Yeah right.

Maybe instead of drooling over Mr. Bugatti, think of how you're going to pay him?

Oh God, if only you would have kept my eyes open.

That's was a freaking Bugatti, how on earth am I going to settle that?

I might as well just give out my kidneys.

Fishing out the key in my purse to open the door to my apartment, I heard a voice.

"Well, well, well. "

Oh no, Mr. Thompson.

"Oh hiiii, Mr. Thompson, fancy weather today huh? "

I said trying to sound all cheerful.

"Don't hi me, you know the drill. "

RENT.

I laughed nervously and noticed the anger in his eyes.

"Mr. T, please, just a few more days, I don't really have everything settled."

"Enough with the excuses! You told me you were going to pay today and now tomorrow, I need the money Miss, you have two days. Two days. Am I understood? "

"Yes...yes. "

Once he left, I sighed and opened the door to my apartment.

The apartment wasn't much but it is my sweet haven.

Just a couch, carpet, a small TV set and a shelf of books was just enough for me to call home.

I entered my bedroom.

A shower won't hurt.

I stripped off my clothes and entered the shower.

God, today was hectic.
