Chapter 2

[Exclusively His]

(Wads of money)

           Writer's POV 

Pink got a call from the cops after working her last part time job. She rushed to the police station immediately. 

She bailed out Derek who was busy glaring at his classmates.

"Why did you get into a fight, Derek?" Pink questioned in annoyance.

Derek didn't reply her, he started going out from the police station.

Kelvin who has also been bailed out by his elder sister followed them outside.

"Derek?" Pink called again.

"Come on, Derek, your pretty sister is calling you" Kelvin said making Derek turn to look at him.

"You know I don't mind getting into a fight with you here, Kelvin, if I hear one more word from you about my sister, then I'm gonna deal with you" Derek threatened.

"Really?" Kelvin laughed.

"Well now that she is already here, why don't I go shoot my shot at her?" Kelvin asked trying to move pass Derek and get to Pink that was ahead of them.

"You won't try that if I were you. My sister is not a doll that you can screw, alright? She is not a c********r like your mother and sisters at home, so leave her alone" Derek insulted.

"What did you just say you poor orphan?" Kelvin spat out angry words wanting to attack Derek but Pink walked back to them.

She started pulling Derek away with her.

"What is your problem, Derek? I try correcting things but you end up scattering them. You haven't told me why you got into a fight with them," Pink asked angrily.

"Well, they were insulting you. I couldn't leave them to continue" Derek answered.

"I've always told you to ignore them. Don't you understand the word ignore, Derek? I've been looking for a way to gather money for our rent now you've made me threw the little I have away. I bet we are gonna start leaving in the street from now on" Pink said angrily to him.

"I want to see you at home when I get back" she added those words before leaving him there.

Pink got home really late because she was waiting for the last bus. And the bus stop was far from the apartment too.

She got into the building of their apartment, went up to the third floor then to their apartment room. She imputed the pins then got in.

She entered but couldn't sense any life there. Everywhere was silent. It was obvious Derek didn't come straight after her.

She sighed, dropped her bags then went into the kitchen, her worries doubling. She found one pack of spaghetti, some ingredients to cook with and started preparing dinner.

After preparing dinner, she went into the bathroom to shower then came back out to still see that Derek hasn't gotten back.

She picked up her assignments from the school and started solving them while still waiting for Derek so they could have dinner together.

She didn't know when and how she slept off but only woke up when she heard the door closing. She sat on properly on the sofa.

Soon Derek appeared in the sitting room.

"Derek, come to the table, let's eat dinner" she said.

"I'm not hungry" Derek replied walking pass her.

"Well,I am not hungry too. What is wrong with you, Derek? Look at the time you are even getting home, it's past midnight. Geez!" Pink yelled at him, walked to the dinner. Took the meal and dropped it back at the kitchen then went to lie down.

** 

The next morning she woke up to the sound of the alarm. She started preparing for college immediately.

She reheated the dinner of last night, eat hers and left Derek's.

She was about leaving the apartment when a call came into her phone. Fear overwhelmed her on seeing the name of the caller, she thought on ignoring the call but knew it would be more dangerous so she picked the call.

"Hello?" She said fearfully into the phone.

"Hello baby Pink, you know the deadline I gave you has expired. Why aren't you paying up?" The owner of the apartment they are living in asked.

"Um..sir, give me until next weekend. I promise to pay or...I'll move out, please?" She pleaded.

"Well, baby Pink I've given you a choice already, why don't you pay me with your sweet body, you are so...."

Pink brought the phone down then disconnected the call. Every time she doesn't pay early, the man rants nonsense like this.

"Who was that?" Derek's voice came from behind her.

She turned to look at him.

"None of your business. Just stay out of trouble" Pink eyed him before leaving the building. 

She got to school before lectures could begin. She got to class an hour earlier.

She settled down in a class, her mind occupied with thoughts. She thought on how she is gonna get the money to pay for their apartment but doesn't know any other fast way.

She lifted her head when she noticed someone sitting and facing her.

She looked to see Tess.

She dropped her head back on the desk after seeing her.

"I am not interested" Pink said even before Tess could open her mouth.

"Look Pink, I've talked to Mama Cassy and she has promised to pay you some money as a source of encouragement. You'll be able to pay for your rent and eat more delicious meal, why are you throwing such opportunity away Pink. You wanna live in the street?" Tess explained then asked.

Pink's ears remained standing when she heard the part that she will be paid before she even starts working. And that could mean that she'll be able to pay for their apartment money.

"How much is the money?" How much? Pink asked.

"Enough to cover your apartment fee, we live in the same building, don't we?" Tess replied.

Pink brought down her head again. "But...I can't just become a pleasure worker. What...what will people think of me?" Pink worried.

"They won't know, I told you we deal with only big wealthy men. Only the high class men knows about us, those worthless guys looking for who to stick their diçk into doesn't know about us" Tess explained.

"But..." Pink try saying.

"No buts ok? We leave to get you fully registrated immediately after today's lectures" Tess cut her off. She stood up and left. 

Throughout the lectures Pink kept sighing and sighing. 

She kept thinking about how she was gonna break the news to her brother. Of course derek won't support her on this. Derek will never support her, her brother thinks too highly of her. What is he even gonna say when he finds out she joined a pleasurehouse.

"What are you thinking of now? Your financial problems are about to be solved" Tess asked.

"My brother, I don't know how he'll take this" Pink gave away her thoughts.

"Then you don't have to tell him about it."

"I can't keep it from him, Tess, I have never kept anything from him before" Pink said.

"You'll have to learn" Tess replied her. She parked inside the bar's garage and stepped down from the car.

Pink stepped down with her. They got into the non lively bar and went straight to through the hidden door at the wall, behind the bartender's stand.

The bartender winked at her as she followed Tess through the door but she ignored his eyes.

They walked through the passage and then into the door like yesterday. Pink started seeing the girls and they much larger, like they were larger in number.

She followed Tess to the door to see mama Cassy sited on a sofa there, smoking.

"I see you've come back" Mama Cassy said.

Pink nodded.

"Give her the book to sign on" Mama said to the red haired girl with her. The red haired girl walked to the table, picked up a book and showed Pink where to sign on.

Pink signed on the paper after repeatedly staring at Tess who kept giving her a go ahead.

"Welcome to the club, baby" Mama said standing up from the sofa.

She extended her hand for a handshake and Pink took it but got suprised when mama Cassy hugged her.

"Every girl here is my family. You are part of them now. And just looking at you, you are gonna do wonders. Probably I'll let you go after four years, it depends on how fast you learn tho" mama Cassy said.

Mama Cassy then brought out wads of dollars from the locker built with the table there. Six wads of dollars, she gave it to her.

Pink's eyes dilated as she watched the money doubtfully.

All these for me? She asked.

Tess laughed. 

"That is just the beginning babe."
