Lexi“Shouldn't you be halfway to Abudabi?” I asked Rhea, my best friend as soon as I picked up her call, placing my steaming mug of tea on the kitchen counter.It was only 7am.“Hello to you too, Lexi. I'm also fine, thank you. Happy Valentine's Day!”“Eww.’” I wrinkled my nose in disgust .”I don't celebrate Valentine's, Rhea, you know that.” “Oh, come on. It's a great day. There's love in the air, romance on the horizon, what's not to love?”“It’s just like every other regular day but with pretentious couples that are probably cheating on each other acting like horny teenagers that think they are in love,”“Wow you really know how to light up the room,” she said dryly.“I just speak the truth that's why I only have three friends,”“You know just because your ex cheated on you on Valentine's day doesn't mean you should hate the holiday!’“Not when two of my exes have cheated on me on Valentine's day… need I remind you about my father and his affair that came out ten years ago too on
Lexi“Gorgeous,” I whispered in awe as our luxurious car pulled up in front of the breathtaking hotel.The building was even more stunning in person than in the photos I’d seen online. I had always dreamed of coming here, but the cost had kept me far away plus this was new and had barely been open for a week. The fact that the girls had pooled their efforts to make this happen for me made me feel special. Even though I was still mad at them for trying to set me up on another silly blind date.“Yes, absolutely,” Richard murmured beside me.When I turned to glance at him, I found his gaze fixed on me, dark and intense. The weight of his stare sent a shiver coursing through me. I quickly looked away, my pulse racing. He was so hot and intense, I had no idea how he was single or working a job like this when he could easily be a model or an actor.Maybe he was a model. I had heard that most models didn't get paid much.“Shall we?” I asked, forcing a smile to mask the flutter of nerves in m
LexiThe early morning sun rays woke me up first before my alarm.I slowly say up.and.yiened of my alarm, feeling weird and sore. I looked down and was surprised that I was completely naked.What happened last night?I groaned.The memories came back before I could finish thinking about it.“Shit, I fucked him,” I frowned…Flashbacks of me coming in multiple ways assaulted my mind.Rhea was going to have a field day when she discovered I slept with her hired Valentine.Which reminded me, where the hell was he?I hoped to fuck he was gone…I checked the alarm on my nightstand and it was almost 7:30.Shit, I had to get to work as fast as possible.I couldn't afford to be late. It was my first day.Sort of, I still had to be approved by my boss but the interviewer had assured me I already had the job.I hoped to God I did. I needed the job. I couldn't keep on depending on my friends.They didn't mind but I did.I had student loans to take care of too.I made my way to the bathroom and ca
I blinked at him, sure I had heard wrong.“That's impossible,” I said, confused out of my mind.“Wait, is this some kind of silly prank? Did Rhea and Evelyn put you up to this?”I walked towards him, furious. This was not the day to be playing games with me. My job was on the line! But even as I thought about it, I knew it made no sense.“No,” he shook his head, his expression unreadable.“Then what's going on? You told me you worked for Valentine inc…” I trailed off, trying to wrap my head around a ridiculous prank like this.“Yes. I know I did. The thing is that I wasn't entirely honest about who I was,” He said carefully, watching me like a predator trying to cajole its prey by acting like it wasn't dangerous. His deep soothing drawl was helping either “You lied…” I responded, still confused. None of this was making any sense If he was my boss that would mean he was a billionaire but why would a billionaire need to work for an escort company?“I'm not sure how to say this. I hone
Levi “I was doing just fine,” I said to Richard as soon as he closed the car door behind me even though I was still shaken by what had almost happened to me. “Right…” he said dryly as he turned on the engine. “You have no right to be sarcastic or upset, you lied and took advantage of me, this is all your fault” “And I apologized!” I snorted “Oh, how nice. I feel so much better now,” I huffed, folding my hands around my chest and looking away. Hate did not begin to describe what I felt for this man. I knew it was irrational to be so angry but I couldn't help it. Rich people always acted like they were immune to consequences and I was over it. I had been over it for the last ten years. “I don't know, maybe a fucking thank you!” He said. I had to pause my anger to replace it with the disbelief I felt. Slowly, I turned to look at him. “You think I owe you a thank you?” I asked in a dangerously calm voice, the voice I used when I was trying to rationalize with s
Lexi “Rhea!” I said as soon as Rhea picked up the call.I had been trying to reach her ever since Richard dropped me off and left for his meeting an hour ago.“Hey, how are you enjoying the first day of work?” Rhea asked in her usual sweet voice. Oblivious to my anger “I am not,” I said flatly.There was a pause.“Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear that. Is your boss an ass?”“Worse,” I gritted out, impatience taking over me. The image of meeting the man I had slept with assaulted my eyes and I felt the urge to cry.“Oh, do we need to sue or?” she asked, her voice a little strained with worry. Gone was the sweet voice.“If I could sue you and Eve, I fucking would.”Another pause.“What are you talking about?”“Oh, I'll tell you. Remember the Valentine y'all set me up with?”“Yeah of course. You said you had fun,”Her sweet voice came forth once more.“He's my boss,”There was a long awkward pause.“I don't understand. That's impossible.”“I thought so too until I found out he only signed
Lexi.“Well?” Rhea stared at me in expectation. She was such a nosey little demon.Evelyn was looking at me with an arched brow. She was the nonchalant one of the group but make no mistakes about her, she loved drama.We were all seated on my cheap apartment floor eating pizza and drinking a bottle of expensive wine- part of the Valentine gifts they'd gotten me.“I'm not answering your questions,”I said again.Eve grinned, eyes shining with mischief.“It was good then, wasn't it?”“Shut up,”I said, taking a gulp of my wine in order to avoid talking about it more.“Ouu she's blushing….” Rhea clapped like a schoolgirl as she glanced at Eve.“The both of you stop. I'm still mad at you,”“No, you're not.” Rhea giggled.Eve followed and soon I was giggling with them.Despite my bad luck, it felt good to be around my friends again.They were my everything.“You are right. I'm mad at the handsome fool for deceiving me. I can't believe he thought he made a bet on me.”“I mean, in his defen
