Chapter 28 Inviting Amy home
Chapter 28 Inviting Amy home
They ate their meal in a comfortable silence because no one was willing to talk, Rick had his head
in his phone while Rachel just kept going at the waffle. Some few hours after they both freshened up,
Rick left saying something about going to lie in his boyfriend arms till he felt better and Amy was
headed to the gym, so she decided it was time to finally go home.
When she reached outside, It was already a mature evening and the sun had almost completely
set, she decided to take alittle work before find a cab, the atmosphere was a little chilled from the
approaching winter but she was dressed prepared still having the hoodie that Amy had given toher last
night, she opened her phone for the first time in almost a whole day and saw a bunch of business
emails as usual but one text caught her attention, it was Baldwin's, Asking her if she wanted to hang,
the text came in since 1pm at noon and now it was almost 7pm and she needed to head home.
Sorry some other time, still recovering from a hangover…
She connected her phone to her airpods and played Selena Gomez new album which was like her
free therapy, well no per say free because it was a prepaid album. She thought about taking a cab but
the whole environment and the song she was playing felt like a whole mood and it felt right, while enjoy
the whole scenario, a ping came through her airpods signaling someone just sent a message to her,
nkw she wished she put her phone on do not disturb but after seeing who it was, maybe she was a little
glad she didn't.
Baldwin
Is that a No i hear from you??
You know i have never been turned down by a woman before, but this, this will only make me
chase more.
I AM A VERY STUBBORN MAN ARACELI.
Me
Is that a treat or a promise, Mr baldwin??
Baldwin
Why don't we just see it as a proposal and a part promise, how about that.
Me
Part promises aren't real baldwin, you all in or out?...pick a stance.
Baldwin
Does being inside you count as a stance??????
Me
Smooth one bastard, but isn't that a move you make after a few dates?
Baldwin
How about a date then, tomorrow evening, just two of us.
Me
Its still no bro.
Now I know what you are thinking, he is everything, the perfect rebound, tall, handsome,
successful, funny, almost everything a ready to settle down girl is looking for, but guess what, this sicko
(Me of course) haven't still gotten over that cheating ass of a bastard, plus getting pleasure mixed with
business was the number one rule not to be broken by any successful CEO, she learnt that in her
internship where marketting sales manager got involved with his secretary and after He later got
married to someone else, she exposed his videos and got him fired.
That's enough lesson for her to follow, besides she was sure Araceli's parents also told her the
same thing. After over thirty minutes of talking with Yandel and two ice coffees later, she decided she
had had enough of the scenery and wanted her bed and a warm hug from her blankets.
She boarded a cab to the estate gate and worked all the way home.
On opening the door, she realized no one was home except the maids in charge of night duty, she
head up the stairs after taking an apple and headed straight to take a hot bath and shampoo her hair,
after the long night in the club and the back aching one at Amy's place, she felt her carried alot of lice
and dirt, she decided to spend a little longer in the bath tub to refresh herself more but Also partly
because she was lazy and didn't want to get involved with any stress just yet.
Wait the fact that she installed a wine cabinet close to the tub didn't make her a troubling alcoholic
right?, well either way it felt right and she felt tipsy. She washed off the soap of her and went to change
into her night wear, She had to go to the office tomorrow which meant waking up by 9 for her and
having to deal with meeting and wait, did she mention she was having lunch with xander and that was
something she wasn't looking forward to in anyway.
" Wait a second…," Rachel said out loud.
"Wait a fucking second, I have the video!!!,"
"I have the motherfucking video!!!" Rachel shouted out loud dancing around, she totally forgot
about the video for a second, she got lost while thinking of how to use the video and not just spring it
out of no where, that will be totally suspicious and people may start to think she set it all up, but after
the 3 days wait, It wouldn't look planned.
She needed to call him now, to act all friendly and shit just so it doesn't look like she hasn't seen
him and days and the first thing she does is dish him the most sour and bitter of all dishes she could
serve via attitude, she dialed his number and took a deep breathe.
"Alright Rachel, get your act to…," Rachel was saying to herself before the call clicked showing
Xander had picked up
"Hey babeee," Rachel said in a higher pitch than normal with excess sweetness and little nerve
latched on her vocal cords due to being caught unaware while preparing for the conversion.
"Hey love," Xander voice came in neutral and slightly bland, it really didn't sound forced neither
sound like he wanted this conversation either.
"Busy day?," Rachel asked.
"Oh yeah, working on Sunday's is no fun," Xander said chuckling a bit, but she bet Alice was there
beside him eavesdropping on their conversation so she decided to serve them the fool they thought
she was.
"Alright babe, rest well, just missed you so much and can't wait to see you tomorrow," Rachel said
in a sickening sweet voice after which she took the phone away from her ears to gag.
"...Tomorrow babe," She heard through the speaker.
"Yeah tomorrow, goodnight babe," Rachel said.
"Ni…," Rachel cut the call mid sentence as she had reached her limit of tolerating Xander's shit for
a day.
"Now all she needed was the perfect…" Rachel groaned after seeing her phone lit up from her side
desk ringingOriginal from NôvelDrama.Org.
Her phone started ringing, she checked the name of the caller ID and realized that it was Amy and
the frown that initially creased her slowly slipped away, she picked the phone and dropped her wine
glass from where she picked up from phone.
"Hey Amy, what's up?,"
No reply came through, instead she heard some sniffing in the background which put her more on
alert quick.
"OMG, Amy are you ok?" Rachel said with a worry filled voice.
"Oh no, everything is fine Ara, I just called you by 9….58 pm to sniff and cry a little into your ears,"
Amy said laughing bitterly with sarcasm dripping through her receiver speaker, Rachel felt stupid,
ofcourse she was not fine, she mentally face palmes herself.
"What's wrong baby?" Rachel asked her.
"My landlord just evicted me with no warning and I only have half of the rent, I have been outside
since seven, I tried to call Ricky but he's two hours away from town and everyone else is somewhat
busy doing something more important and you are the last person I said I will call, I don't want you to
think I'm friends with you just for the money…" Amy said breaking down in tears
"Hey Amy, it's okay, don't cry please, I will have my driver come pick you up soon," Rachel said
feeling her heart go heavy for Amy.
"Thank you," she said in between her sobs.
"It's okay, it's totally fine Amy," Rachel replied.
In the next next 40minutes, Amy walked through their door, and Araceli and went in to give her a
hug and let her cry on her shoulders.
"You will be fine girl," Rachel whispered into her ears.
"I swear I'll pay you back Ara," Amy said in between tears shivering alittle from sitting in the cold
night for several hours.
"I will transfer you the rent money alright" Rachel said.
"No no, you don't have to do that, I just need to get up on my feet, I will be able to pay him in no
time" Amy said not wanting Araceli to think she was friends with her foe her money.
"Look I insist, and besides you did me a solid, I'm just paying back the favour" Rachel said.
"What i did for you, I did it for you, and not because I wanted anything from you," Amy assured
Rachel.
"Well then I'm doing this because I want to do it and not because I'm paying back the favour you
did for me" Rachel said using her words against her, making her laugh alittle.
"How about I ask them to make you some hot chocolate and get you to the guest bed room,"
Rachel asked.
"Yes please"
After she was done drinking it and she was showed to the guest bedroom, Rachel went back to
check up on her but she had already passed out, lying down at the end of the bed without any pillow or
blankets, Rachel covered with some blankets and put a pillow below her head.
She doesn't know what kind of past Amy had but it was definitely a rough one that had alot of
abuse in it...
