“That’s because you lost your virginity to Sam.”
I sigh as she mentions his name, not because I miss him. Or even hate the way he treated me, but for the first time since I’ve been dumped I realize that I gave up so much of myself to him. I will never let any man treat me like that ever again.
“I hope that you enjoyed it?”
“What do you think?”
She laughs, “The way that you’re talking right now. It sounds as if you more than enjoyed it. It sounds as if he’s woken my bestie from the dead.”
“He’s done that in more ways than one. What about you? What are you up to?”
She chuckles, “Oh, I feel like getting dressed up going to a bar and having mind-blowing sex with a stranger.”
“Do it!”
“He really did a number on you Scarlett. You used to frown at that type of talk. You used to say that there had to be a connection. Even at one point you even told me that there had to be love.”
I giggle at her quoting me. “I don’t care what I said when I was in love with the fool. All I know is that I’m going to get showered, dressed and wait for Mr. Moore to come back and strap me up again.”
“Is that his name?”
I laugh at the idea of it. “Ironic right? That his name is more. Mr. Moore can give it all to me all weekend long. I just need to get my pussy in the bath so that it can sooth a bit. I’m hurting a bit.”
“Holy crap Scarlett, you’re talking dirty too. Right, that’s it. Fuck this case. Not only are you going to get some. But, I’m going to do it too.”
“Yes, but I’m getting so much more…”
“That’s a bad joke. Not really, it’s my reality and instead of spending all my time talking about it. I’m going to get ready just to get it.”
“You do that. I can’t believe that you’re having sex with a stranger. I was worried about your aunt driving you crazy and you eating two tubs of Ben & Jerry’s instead of just one.”
I sit up and say, “You don’t have to worry about that. Ben & Jerry and I are officially separated this weekend. Unless he wants to lick it from inside of me.”
“Damn girl! You’re so nasty!”
“Catch you later. Bye.”
I wave as I think about getting ready for when he does come back. I meant every word of it. I intend to enjoy this weekend, there’s only one and a half days left and I want my aunt to get her money back. While I enjoy it on my back and every single position that Mr. Moore wants me in his playroom.
Chapter Nine
Scarlett
After Asun left the room and I soaked in the bath for a while. I could have slept again in there, if I wasn’t so hungry. That was my only driving force for getting out of the tub. I was walking down part of the hallway and I noticed that there were no photos. But, I shrugged thinking that maybe they would be in the living room.
As soon as I got down the stairs, I noticed the same thing. I suppose not everyone’s as crazy about pictures as Gretchen and Aunt Betty, but even my parents have the odd photos hanging up.
It just gives a house that personal touch, but then again, apart from Sam, I haven’t really been around guys houses and even then, he had pictures of his folks and the odd one of us in his living room. I wanted to find out if there were pictures in there, but then I figured that this is not my house. I shouldn't really be snooping around.
Besides, there was only Asun and I wouldn’t want to put her in a compromising position if her boss liked his privacy and I managed to convince her to show me around. There was only one thing that I really wanted to see and that was Joshua.
Asun never ate lunch with me, she left the food on the table and told me to enjoy it. She can cook, I had to do everything to stop myself from eating a couple of plates of the chicken curry with potatoes and rice that she dished up for me. I can’t remember the last time that I’d had a home cooked meal. Gretchen’s even less of a cook than I am.
Gretchen feasts on salads like there’s no tomorrow. But Friday night is her night to veg out and eat whatever she feels like. We usually have take out or if I decide to let my hair down and not worry about money we go out to eat. I hate eating alone. Well, not strictly true. I don’t mind eating alone if the TV’s on or if there’s something to distract me from the fact that I’m alone.
But sitting in an empty white kitchen with its immaculately clean workspace and white tiles, I wondered if Joshua ate that much in there or if at all. Asun said that it had been a while since she had cooked in there and she talked openly about herself, but hardly anything about Joshua.
She must be close to him otherwise he wouldn’t have left instructions for me with her. I pondered for a little as I tried to figure out how to work the dishwasher after I finished and I knew that if I spent any longer in the kitchen I’ll be asking her for another plate. She caught me and told me to relax. She directed me to the living room and said that there was a library, but it was also Joshua’s study.
