Chapter 5: Girl For Hire

“Where are you going, you bitch? I am not going to pay you!” and I heard his fu*king hoarse voice called me bitch for the 2nd time around, and it really angered me so I turned my back to face him once again with my clenching fist.

And once I stood in front of him, I snatched him away from Marcus’ tight hold and in an instant my knuckles landed on his jaw.

“You asshole! I should have done that earlier when you started touching me, because I was so disgusted on how you had been treating me the whole time, as if you damn owned me. But I controlled myself because I needed this job so badly” I stopped as I tried to hold back my hurt feelings to prevent myself from crying.

But I guess it will still end up that way, since I was so consumed with different emotions so I continued anyways.

“But I didn’t do anything wrong, and I ain’t fooling around either…so you have no right to call me a two timer nor a bitch!” and my tears were welling in my eyes as I tried to endure the embarrassment, and my heart was aching so badly over the thought of Marcus’ absurd reaction.

But I faced him too to give him some piece of my thoughts.

“And you Mr. Lee, how dare you reclaimed me as your escort lady when from the start you didn’t even want me around you? You sent me away remember?” I gritted my teeth in anger and pain at the same.

“You said you don’t want me, so why did you ruined my job. You have no idea what I had to endure just to finish the job because my friend is dying and she needs my help. But you blew it away!” and as always, my tears rebelled on my cheeks without consideration.

It weakens me. I felt like falling.

And just before I could go down on my knees, my wrist was tugged and I was dragged out of the VIP room by Mr. Huggin, and while he was sending me away I could clearly hear him blaming me.

“I should have known earlier that you will just cause trouble here. I should have not allowed you to work part time. You ruined our guest’s night. You deserved that.” He said, and I felt too low that very moment, and before he totally dumped me out, someone pulled my arm and I landed on his chest in an instant.

“I got you” he said while looking at my hazel brown eyes.

“Mr. Lee” His comrade uttered in shocked when Marcus snatched me from him.

“Where are you taking my lady Mr. Huggin? Aren’t she supposed to stay by my side?” and his orbs were melting me softly. Damn, he was so handsome.

“But Mr. Lee, I thought you don’t need an escort?” Mr. Huggin took a step forward and whispered onto his ear to validate his understanding.

“I know what I said and I meant that when I drove her away. But just now I decided to have one since its getting late and I am getting bored, you know” and even if his voice was a bit low, I have a sharp hearing too so I heard everything he said and it made me wondered.

“Why did he suddenly change his mind?” I looked at him with a big question mark on my eyebrow as I raised the left one to get his answer, but he ignored me. Instead, he tapped Mr. Huggin’s back and bid goodbye.

Then I found myself sitting in front of the bar with him. He was just seriously drinking and was just letting me do what I want. Literally, it doesn’t really matter to him if I drink, I eat, and I go to the ladies room or roamed around. He was just there drinking endlessly, and I was so worried about him.

So I simply threw a glimpse to watch him drink and to see his face because I honestly missed him, but each time his eyes caught mine, I quickly looked away and diverted my glances nowhere. We’ve been like this for an hour.

It was past midnight then and I was still perplexed over the idea of him, redeeming me as his escort but just ignoring me the whole time while I was right beside him. At that very moment, I was not concerned anymore about how much payment I should be getting, since I was with Marcus and the happiness I was having was priceless even though I knew that he doesn’t have any idea that it was his ex-fiancée that he was dealing with.

I cleared my throat.

“Excuse me, I just want to know if…”

“If how much I would pay you? What do you think?” he cut me off with that stupid question and it angered me. I wasn’t thinking about money in the first place, that’s not what I was supposed to ask.

“No, it’s not what I was going to…”

“So, then what?” he butted in and I lost the words in my mouth. For a moment, I was speechless. But as soon as I have composed myself right away…I talked back to make him understand what I wanted to say all along.

“Mr. Lee, I can sense how much you hate me and you don’t want me around you…I just wanted to ask before you cut me off if what time would you let me leave since it’s pretty obvious that you don’t need me here” and my voice was really not pleasant that moment since I was so upset the whole evening, I forgot that I was talking to Marcus.

“I don’t care about the money anymore, whether you pay me or not since I didn’t serve my purpose…so can you just let me go…?”

“2000 dollars”

“Huh?” I was shocked to hear that huge amount.

“Didn’t you hear me? I said 2000 dollars…Loud and clear.” He sarcastically repeated the amount and I was still in disbelief.

“What is that for?” I asked him in confusion and my butt was stuck on the chair while waiting for his answer. And he took a shot of tequila beforehand, then straightforward he uttered the words that made my heart ridiculously crazy.

“Stay with me tonight Ms. Park” and slowly he was dozing off unto my chest while saying it word for word, and my heart just couldn’t be happier to have him in my arms once again.

“Mr. Lee, are you alright?” I tapped his back and I heard him mumbled.

“Don’t leave me alone”

And that very moment while I was holding him in my arms, I was in cloud nine yet at the same time I pity him for some reason. “What happened to him after the accident?” I asked myself in the silence of my heart, trying to understand what was going on with him.

He looked stressed as I watched him drowned himself on alcohol. That was not like him as far as I remembered, he was not a hard drinker and he never solve his problems over a bottle of tequila. “Is there something bothering him?” and as this question came across my mind, his huge manly hand landed on my cheek in a flash and I felt his skin brushed against mine as he caressed it, and with his sweet words I was dumbfounded.

“You are so beautiful…You are like an angel to me” and my heart pumped like crazy when he ran his finger around my lips, before he completely drifted into darkness and fell asleep.

“Where should I take you Marcus?”

And after an hour after seeking help from Dara and her boss Mr. Huggin, I found myself inside a luxurious room in the same hotel where the casino was situated.

Good thing his friend knew his room number so he was sent there immediately to rest, and I was planning to leave him the moment he settled down on the huge U-shaped bed, but as fast as I was about to disappear, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me on the bed.

And I almost fell on his buff chest, if I wasn’t able to use my other hand to control my body from falling over him.

“Stop running away from me…Please.” he whispered and I heard it loud enough.

“Will you stay this time? I begged” and tears of joy came to me when it lingered in my heart.

I was wrong all along that he didn’t recognized me. That’s what I thought when I read between the lines.

Perhaps at first he didn’t knew that it was me, then he think deeply and realized that I was actually his ex-fiancée that’s why he came back to redeem me and he was so furious when he saw Mr. Robert was touching my body.

Then by the time Mr. Huggin was about to kick me out, he stopped him and asked for me to accompanied him at the bar.

And now, he doesn’t want me to go. He may not be able to say my real name, but it seemed like his heart was shouting for it that he couldn’t hide it anymore, so he said all those clingy words before me and I was so swayed.

Random thoughts came to me and it was really hard not to expect anything from my current situation.

I was positioned across his manly temple and my eyes could pretty see and watch his face while he was sleeping soundly.

His lips were so red, I remember how good they were when kissing me. His pointed nose was adorable as always. I like it a lot when I brushed his smooth and soft nose against mine, it gave me the tickling feelings. And more than anything else, his thick perfect eyebrows and defined jaw were his best features, he looked sexier with that chiseled jawline.

“Beside your love, how can I ever forget your handsome face honey? You are so charming”

And he groaned in pain as he moved his body, feeling uncomfortable with this long sleeves polo.

He started to unbutton his top one by one with weakness in every movement, and when he finally reached the 3rd button he stopped moving and went back to sleep leaving the rest of the buttons closed. He was sweating too much despite of the cold temperature in the room despite of the good air conditioning system of the hotel. He must really be wasted that’s why he was feeling uncomfortable.

“What should I do? Shall I help him change his clothes?” I was thinking twice and a bit hesitant to do it.

For some reason that I couldn’t explain why it became a big deal to me that very moment, I found the situation awkward at some point.

There was nothing to hide actually, since I’ve seen everything before. Yeah that’s right. That was the fu*king reason I think why I was hesitating to do it.

I know exactly what to expect underneath those clothes. And that was his f*cking hot body. His little baby abs, his buff chest and toned muscles that will surely, and definitely will melt me softly the moment I will lay my eyes on it.

I was not admitting the fact to myself then, despite of knowing the truth I would get affected to see the naked body of my ex-fiancé.

So I just pretended that it was not a big deal and started to unbutton the remaining studs on his top and when I finally opened up everything, I gently removed the sleeves and for endurance’s sake…He was so heavy. I could hardly lift him up to take off his polo. I was so close to my limit when finally I done it.

I was panting when I put him back to bed.

“You are so damn heavy Marcus.” And I heaved a sigh of relief as soon as his back was laid flat. He was sleeping like a baby, and he was so cute in my eyes.

And after a couple of minutes on being bewitched, I decided to check his luggage for some pajamas he could wear.

But before anything else, I gathered my hair first and tied it with a ponytail then I fanned myself using my fingers to dry those sweat beads on my forehead. And when I finally cooled down…

“Kiss me baby” His pleading voice came to me before I could even jump out of the bed.

My eyes widened in great shocked.
