A Night with Mr Arrogant (Episode 6)

EPISODE 6

“Here’s your card, sir” the cashier lady said to him.

He takes back his card and carries our basket. I didn’t bother to stop him from carrying mine, cause honestly, it’s kinda heavy.

“So, are you taking a cab?” He asks the minute we step outside.

“Cab? What’s wrong with all of you guys living in LA? You guys depend on cab, a lot” I said.

“So that means you’re walking?”

” Yeah. It’s just a stone throw” I said.

“Ok, I’ll acommpany you”.

Wait, what? No, I just start working there today, I can’t just show it to anyone, I murmured to myself.

“You don’t have to, I can walk there on my own” I told him.

“I insist. I need to make sure you arrive safe and sound”.

” But I… ”

” No buts” he interupts me.

No, I have to say something. I can’t let him go with me.

“Vic, I was just joking about the cab thing. I’m taking a cab” I said.

He smile approvingly.

” Good girl. Now let’s get you in a cab”

He stops a cab and gestures for me to enter. I reluctantly enter, he gives my basket back to me.

“Call me when you get home” he said.

“Ok, I’ll” I replied.

I wave at him and tell the cab driver to drive. I watch Vic wave me good bye, until the cab is out of sight.

Within the twinkling of an eye, the cab stop. I step out and pay the driver, leaving the change as a tip.

When the security sees me with the basket, he rushes to me and help me carry it inside.

“Thank you… Paul” I said reading his name from his badge.

“It’s no problem at all” he said and goes out.

I put all the stuff in places where they belong. I look at the time, it’s 4:43pm. I remember I’m supposed to make dinner before 6pm.

I put my hair in a messy bun and gets down to business. I decide to prepare Rice and vegetable salad, and some cornbread.

By the time I’m done, it’s already 5:50pm. I quickly dish the food and set them on the dinning table.

Then I hurry to my room to take a shower, I can’t smell like cheese when I meet with the almighty Jackson Mark, right.

After taking my bath, I change into some clean clothes, a white shorts and big orange t-shirt.

Just then my phone starts ringing, I picked it up, it’s Lizzy calling.

“Hello, Lizzy”

“Hey… Mirabel. Are you at his house now? How is he treating you?” She asks.

I roll my eyes at her questions.

” I just resume work today, remember? And besides, I haven’t seen him yet. His friend brief me on what to do this morning, but I’m hoping to see him this evening” I answered.

” Good. Thank you once again for doing this. So have you seen any guy yet, I know the guys there are super hot” she said.

She’s right though, that stranger from last night is super hot! Wait, why am I thinking about him!. But I can say Vic is hot, even Bright is hot too.

“Yeah, you can say that”

“You should thank me for sending you over there, at least now you can get your virgin ass a boyfriend!” She said.

I tense when she mentioned the word ‘ virgin,’ she thinks I’m still one, and I’ll leave it that way for now.

Cause I honestly don’t know how to tell her that I gave my virginity to a total stranger, that I might never meet ever.

“Mirabel, are you still with me?” She asks.

“Yeah”

“Please don’t blow your cover, my career is depending on you” she said.

Just then I hear the front door open and close with a loud bang.

” Lizzy, I got to go now. I guess my new boss is home, I better go attend to him”.

” Alright, no problem. Good luck” she said.

I hang up and head downstairs. I guess is time to see the fearless Jackson Mark.
