"10%?" Ava gasped in utter surprise.
"Plus the bonus!" Suzie chid in as if reminding Ava of that. A few chuckles went around,
Ava had never had a raise like that in all her life. Also, 10% of the current pay point would be enough for about half a year’s pay of what she had been getting while doing nial and part-ti jobs all of her life.
".... but I have not even taken my first paycheck yet, and I have a raise?" She whispered. However, the pay raise pronouncent had caused a brief stunned mont so her whisper, travelled far to all relevant ears.
Eyes turned green with envy, but the workers of the Thornston estate were very trained, and backbiting was minimal as compared to other places.
Suzie bead in happiness, passing a slight glance at Katie but not daring to fully look. She itched to jump up and down in happiness! She, however, did a sumrsault dance in her head.
Just as Suzie went on her knees and banged her head on the ground several tis in appreciation, the rest made a ntal conviction!
’We must protect Miss Shelby with our lives! If not anything, we will be rewarded for doing that.’
No one had said the words aloud, but their thoughts were the exact sa! They exchanged glances, and their resolve was affird.
Katie stood straighter, still not giving out any information at all.
"I will do as you say, Geneva."
Geneva nodded and then beckoned to the still-stunned Ava,
"Co over here,"
Ava shuffled over to Geneva, and they walked away and talked. The workers all gathered around Suzie, and they whispered in excitent.
Geneva had started treating Ava like a close relative, and that made Ava feel really cherished and touched.
"When are you going to give my second grandchild?"
"Second grandchild?" Ava asked, puzzled, but this made her think back to Shelby, and she let out a small smile, feeling proud of herself for ’helping’ Shelby and her husband.
Geneva stopped and placed her hand gently on Ava’s.
"I have been there, and I know what you are going through, but do not let that young man slip through your fingers."
Ava’s eyes widened when she finally understood what Geneva was hinting at. Her cheeks felt warm at the thought of that grandchild, but she did not entertain such thoughts. There she was, feeling proud of herself for helping soone with their sex life while Geneva was doing the sa with her.
"I-"
Geneva lightly tapped Ava’s hand in a comforting way.
That gesture made Ava feel so warm and comforted she nearly teared up. It was mainly from the motherly gesture and not from the topic that Geneva was hinting at.
Ava took in a deep breath and smiled brightly, yet not necessarily agreeing with the words.
Later that evening, Ava sat on her bed in the Thornston estate, looking at her phone. Ava was lost, though. In as much as she seed okay, Ava was anything but okay.
Behind closed doors, she slumped down, and a lone tear fell.
She shuddered when the mories of that day pushed through full force to the forefront of her mind. Ava had been going through the days repressing the mories, but then the physical touches and the scent of the man seed to be lodged into her brain’s and subconsciousness, refusing to give way.
However, there was one thing apart from all these that Ava could not understand, and this was Josh.
She had seen Josh there, but he, as her boyfriend, had never once called her to check on her one bit. Ava was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but there was only so much as she could do as a human.
Just then, her phone dinged: ’Are you okay? How are you doing?’
"Rocky!"
Ava said the na of the one person who had cared enough to check on her at all tis within the past few days, even though, at his young age, his plate was full of life’s issues.
What Ava had gone through those past days had allowed her to re-examine herself and the people around her.
She closed her eyes, and pictured Rocky standing there so full of himself and saying,
"You will be my future wife!"
Ava found herself unconsciously smiling.
"Stop it! Ava! He is Shelby’s brother. Her younger brother and he is like a younger brother to you, too!"
A small voice responded at the innermost part of her mind, ’He is LIKE a brother. That does not an that he IS your brother! There is a big difference between that!’
Ava closed her eyes and sighed.
She looked at Rocky’s ssage and many others that he had sent and closed the chat. She then decided, ’There is no need to lead Rocky on! He has his whole life ahead of him! Rocky will find a younger girl who suits him more.... And also, if his current status cos out, the girls will flock to him!’
Then her thoughts turned to her own relationship,
’It takes two to make a relationship work. I know Josh has his bad side, but I will call him and check up on him. I might also demand so answers.’
She dialled the familiar number, and it rang and rang until the last mont before the call was connected.
"Hello dearie..." A whiny female voice answered.
Ava frowned and took the phone from her ear, wondering if she dialled the correct number.
It was indeed the correct number.
"Who is this? Is this Josh’s phone?"
"Of course, it’s Josh’s phone!"
The girl responded almost as if she was rolling her eyes and chewing gum at the sa ti.
"You are?"
"Oh , don’t bother about who I am. I will be out in no ti."
Ava’s frown got even heavier, and then she asked, "Can you put Josh on the phone?"
"Not now, he is in the shower. I’ll tell him that you called okay..."
"Wait- but,"
"Don’t worry. I know you! You’re the girlfriend who would not sleep with him, right? That’s so silly, girl! The one that likes to pretend as if you are all modest and high and mighty? Why would you do that? Anyway, who am I to judge you? Thank you for not sleeping with him... you know?"
She giggled like crazy.
"You gave the opportunity to take care of him.... If you know what I an?"
Ava’s mouth dropped open, "Don’t worry, I’ll sleep over for just tonight, and you can have him back tomorrow!"
Ava gasped in shock. However, the girl had already discarded the phone, but she did not hang up.
Ava only ca to her senses when she heard,
"Your girlfriend called!"
"Who? That slut? Let her be! She is just pretentious! Now, let’s continue from where we left off. Suck dry!"
"Oh, Josh! You are so naughty! Just the way I like it!" She literally purred like a cat. Then, there was a brief mont of silence before, the girl asked,
"Are you not worried that your girl will be jealous or hurt?"
"Why would I care about that? With the many n that she has? I don’t even want to know how many dicks have passed through the pussy of hers! Now, shut the fuck up and bend over. Now I only feel like ramming into your pussy!"
"I love that!"
She whirred and then added, "You are an insatiable beast! It’s like we are on our honeymoon these few days!"
Ava heard a few embarrassing shuffling noises, and then she closed her eyes, tears stinging again at the words that Josh had used to describe her. It was also more so about the fact that she had cared about Josh at a point in ti.
’Did he think so little of ?’
"Ahhh!!! Nggg!!!! Harder! Fuck harder! Oh my! This feels so good! Josh, Oh Jos-"
She hung up the phone and rubbed her temples tiredly when those sounds started. Not surprisingly, she was not upset per se. Fuck! She was super upset!
"Who the fuck is he to ss with ?!" The anger she felt from then was enough to clear the overwhelming sentints and self-bla she had from the near abuse.
From that, she went through the recycling box of her dia gallery on. her phone, fuming.
"I’m glad that it’s still here...." She said to herself as she retrieved the dia file that Rocky had sent her a while back. With no hesitation, she tapped on it to play and Josh’s clearly upset voice ca on:
"Who does she think she is? I’m just coming out of that chicken coop that she calls a studio apartnt. Who would even give a fancy na to that? Just look at this neighbourhood! Yack! Anyway, it would serve its purpose later on, though. I can’t believe I tried to flatter that thing!" He shouted in his rage and then continued.
This ti, it sounded like he was talking to soone else. Ava listened, her fury skyrocketing.
"That Ava girl should be glad that I, Josh, am even willing to consider her. She is lucky that she has such a nice body. All I want from her is a good fuck! With so of the other girls, we were done in a day and at most, a week. Why is she still sitting on her high horse when she would spread her legs for sooner or later?
Ah! Man! Just the thought of her pussy is making so hard! I need to find soone to relieve myself for now and then maybe up my ga on her. Yh, right, Swya is waiting for back in the room. Let go get so relief with Swya but I need to finish with her by next week and then move on to that new chick in town."
Ava stared at her phone, her eyes growing colder by the second. Just then, her phone rang.
