“Or something,” I reply with an eye roll.

“So…what’s wrong?” he questions, and I swear I see genuine concern in his eyes. Too bad I couldn’t care less right now.

“I was set to be on time today, but then I had a run-in with my roommate. You remember her, the one you fucked,” I seethe. “Well, she decided because she can no longer have your asshole cock, that she is mad and wants to get me kicked out of the house.”

Still holding on to my elbow, he states, “You can afford something better than that place. I know you can.”

“I like that place. I picked that place,” I reply.

Before that, I lived somewhere Jake picked. I liked it there too. And before that, I lived wherever I had to—where I was forced to.

This place was solely my choice.

I thought I had done well, apart from the fucked-up roommate.

“I’ll handle it,” Grayson states, letting me go and giving me my bag back. “Now, get to work.”

“You’ll handle it? Please don’t. You fucked it up for me, to begin with. You and your damn cock.” I shove into his shoulder as I strut past him and go back to where the girls are, dropping my things on my small desk.

He doesn’t follow me this time.

As I flop down in my chair, I start to bite my nails but quickly stop and shake my head.

If worse comes to worst, I guess I’ll just have to find somewhere else to live.

I didn’t see Grayson for the rest of my shift and was grateful for it. Working at a sex club is hard. And tiring. Even when you’re not the one who has to fuck the clients. Handling the employees is just as difficult.

I’m exhausted when I get home and find Destiny walking out the front door, a bag in her hand.

“You,” she snarls.

“Um…okay, me,” I say, confused.

“You win.”

“Win what?” I’m really not in the mood to play these games.

“Don’t even try to play the innocent game with me. It won’t work.”

“Okay, sounds good.” I brush her off.

“See, you have no respect. You really are just trash.” I step past her to see half of her things already gone, and the other half is packed and waiting.

“Are you going somewhere?” I question.

“Yes, I got kicked out. As I said, you won. How on earth you did that, I will never know.”

“I’ve been at work, Destiny, so I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Your stupid-girl act doesn’t work on me.”

“Okay…” I shake my head, not understanding where she’s going with this.

“I went to the owner today, and he said he would think about my concerns. Later, he came around and said he’d given it some thought, and I was in the wrong and should pack my things and get out.”

Grayson pops into my head, but how could he have anything to do with this?

“Seems like you brought that on yourself,” I inform her.
