Ch.3 - "He whispers something which sounds like 'mate'."

After Calily’s numerous attempts to make me find a guy, we slept after drinking shots of vodka. We dozed off on each other’s body, definitely snoring so loudly like drilling machines.

It was so early in the morning when I got a spank on my ass. Somehow it linked to an erotic dream I was having with a guy I would rather not mention. I purred.

“Aww…babe. Do you want bdsm?” I said slurry. This makes Calily laugh so loudly but she played on.

“Yeah, in fact I want a thorough fuck.” She answered cheesily, and I nodded springing back to reality. I stood up from shock and saw Calily all on me.

“Calily? Wtf! Get off me!” I exclaimed, pushing her away with all my might. Her hair was almost like a bird nest like mine but good thing she always took extra care of her blonde hair.

“I wasn’t the one saying erotic words?” She defended and I held my lips in shame as she winked in approval. She was in a crop top and baggy sweats which made her look casual.

“What else did I say?” I asked embarrassingly holding my mouth. I had this habit of sleep talking when I drunk too much.

I had once slept walked to the supermarket with no cash on me. I had eaten so much that I had to pay up by cleaning the place.

“It’s no use. Hurry, I spoke to one of my colleagues about the job and he said he would like to see your CV first.” She uttered, as I yawned loudly with my neck veins stretching so much and almost popping.

Keyword – almost. I try standing up.

“Aww.” I cried out as my head hurt. I drank too much yesterday and my hangover was twice worse. Calily seemed fine and I silently wondered if she was an inhumane.

Yeah, she was a party girl and all but that didn’t mean she’d be so resistant to alcohol? I silently felt a bit jealous.

“Hangover? Take this.” She stretched some tablets and water as I gulped it slowly. I really hated taking drugs. . . But I had to get better, right?

“Now go get dressed.” She said and I eyed her suspiciously. Calily was really an impatient freak who actually set out my clothes early anytime we had important occasions.

“Okay, fine! I picked out your clothes already. Just go shower.” She confessed which calmed my nerves. She just never changed and will always be the same Calily.

“Now that's the girl I know.” I retorted without picking up any fight with her because of my hangover. I didn’t even get to choose my own clothes again. This was just great!

I walk to the bathroom.

                      ....

I breathe in fast paces as I highlight from the cab. I pay the driver and my mind drifts to the fact that I had an interview today with an unknown person.

Calily had given me a card of the company’s detail. She said it was a pass which worked perfectly fine as I was given entrance by the two bulky guards that stood at the entrance.

The building is an eight-story one in blue glass that glistened which made it amazing and unique from the other buildings around it.

I step in with my caked face and red lipstick as I clicked my six-inch high heels in the large building. I’m ushered in by someone to the receptionist’s table.

The receptionist is a ginger haired lady who looked in her mid-fifties.

“Good day, I’m here to see the CEO of this company.” I said and she looks at me kindly.

“Do you have an appointment?” She asked not trying to be rude. I understood she was just doing her job and didn’t mean harm.

“Somewhat. Actually, I was directed to him by a friend. Here’s the card.” I replied.

“The first door of the 7^th floor.” She smiled professionally, saying.

Thank goodness! Receptionists were normally bitches. . .

“Okay, thanks.” I said.

“By the way, what’s your name?” She innocently asked holding a pen.

“Energ- I mean Serena Esposito.” I really needed to get used to my real name not strip name? She scribbled it down gesturing for me to sign.

I quickly do that and walk to the nearby lift pressing its open button, stepping in and clicking the seventh button. The lift is with two other workers, a male and female which I ignore remaining formal.

When it dings open, I’m quick to step out, straightening my formal attire, a black slim fit skirt with a maroon jacket that screamed formality. I re-check my lipstick and look for the door.

The first door of the 7^th floor, she said. I sight it, immediately opening it. I don’t know why I did that without knocking. But, I felt a bit familiar with this place. A scent hits my nostrils and I hear someone moaning. I step in fully.

“Harder, Luca! Hit me harder! Yeah!” A feminine voice yelled.

Merely hearing the voice makes me want to snap it off its voice box. I stroll down to the inner room revealing two moving nude bodies.

The male’s holding the woman’s blonde hair, pummeling into her as she rubbed her clit, with her legs high in the air.

“Yeah ba-by. I’m close.” He seethed.

I’m so shocked by what I’m seeing. I mean not everyone wants to walk in a live porn session.

And a virgin witnessing that?

For a moment, I imagine what it would be like to have him inside me. . . Sorry what?

All of a sudden, a slight pain hits my chest as I sight the guy I met at the club. The guy who stripped me off my job – Luca Marino.

Fury.

Those were the only words that could describe my unknown emotions.

Before I said Mary Celeste, I’m on the blonde punching her. All I felt at this moment was detest. Sheer hatred which left me confused.

"What the hell?” She yelled struggling as I straddle her, pulling at her hair and every fake thing she had on. Luca seemed lost in thought as he stood on a spot not doing anything to save her.

“Energia Rossa?” He called. He looked shocked still naked as the day he was born. I see his pupils dilate but quickly dismiss it off. I was definitely imagining things.

He grips me tight to stop me but I kick my legs in the at her and she yelps in pain. I’m so glad I wore a six-inch Balenciaga shoe today. It turned out handy.

“Luca, baby? Who is she?” The woman asked half naked and definitely in pain but Luca doesn’t reply. There is a hint of regret and sadness in his eyes as he holds me tighter, sniffing my neck. I try to withdraw but feel a sudden calmness which steadies me.

Serenity.

Like I’m in the right. . .

He whispers something which sounds like… “Mate”.
