Saturday again

Lucy waited till she gets home before letting out all the feelings she has been keeping to herself. She locked her small apartment door and ran to her room hanging her bag before throwing herself to her bed, sobbing.

She knew she cooked the meal well and did all her best but why wasn't she hired? She felt so ashamed and hurt when she was informed that she wasn't hired. She just gave a smile and head home knowing that when she gets home she'd cry her eyes out.

The pay was so very huge and with Daniel as the owner, she felt they could be close but it seems she had high hopes.

She never expected so much from people but for the first time she expected more than what she deserves from Daniel. He is the boss and he should have given the order to hire her by all means but it seems, he didn't even care. She rolled over and lay on her back, her tears now flowing to her ear. She remembered how excited she was when she met Daniel thinking she'd get the job but didn't. "Ah..aha.. ha" she cried, wiping her tears with all her fingers except her thumb.

She sat up sniffling in her tears and used the back of her hand to wipe her running nose. She didn't get the job so she has to find another job before she runs out of money again.

She didn't eat much that's why she hasn't run out of money yet and she isn't planning to eat this night because she doesn't have the appetite. She went to drink a glass of water and went back to her room receiving a text from Daniel, she didn't reply to his text. She blamed him for not getting the job. Why won't she?

He is the owner of the hotel and is able to get her hired even if she isn't good enough.

She dropped the glass and went to move the curtains, staring at the sky before going back to lay down and sleep but received another text from Daniel. She chosed to ignore his texts and closed her eyes but her phone beeping disturbed her from sleeping, so she finally decided to reply him.

She sat up and grabbed her cellphone. She saw seven unread messages from him. What does he wants now?

She sent that to him.

"Aww my princess, what's wrong?"

"I don't know, maybe because I wasn't hired"

"Really? You weren't?"

"Stop it, I know you know I wasn't hired"

"No, I don't. I wasn't in charge of the interview, you know that too right?"

She became speechless and realized she was mistaken.

"I don't know what to think that's why I blamed you" she frowned at her phone. "I'm sorry"

She waited for his reply but there was none. She waited for only two minutes and it felt like two hours.

"I'd have to find another job then"

She texted again.

"How about we do this, come to me on Tuesday... Just say you have an appointment"

"Huh? What do you want from me?"

"When you arrive honey... When you arrive"

Her brows knitted as she stared at her phone.

"Uh... Okay"

"So..."

"Yes"

"I'd be expecting you my princess"

Lucy slept well that night and was also relieved she didn't have her attack.

It has clocked a week since she met Eric and hasn't seen him but he was still on her mind because of the money and the clothes and the jewelries he gave her and yet she isn't planning to meet him, she hasn't even gone to the bar after that day and also wasn't planning to.

Lucy woke up that Saturday morning having no plans for the day but she got dressed and had a little breakfast before turning on the TV. She was already worried about herself, when she checked the mirror, she realized how lean she has become and when she also checked her weight, she has also reduced weight too but what could she do about it?

She would have accepted Eric's offer but she asked herself what she'd enjoy in life when she does the surgery and answered herself nothing.

What if her destiny was to die and to also be reborn to have a good live, her parents not leaving her and will be also loved by everyone and most of all, rich? How much she wished that would happen but to her it only happens in movies.

After watching the four hours movie she went back to take a nap.

Eric got a call from his father inviting him for dinner with his girlfriend. He was still laying down on his bed when he received that call. Well, it actually woke him up. He only replied he'd be there and lifted the bedsheet from his half naked body. Why can't he get that habit out of his life? Whenever he tries to sleep with clothes on, he ended up waking up in the middle of the night to get it off him. He has to teach himself to stop that attitude but when would he?

He went to the bathroom to get dress for the day remembering his father's invitation as he brushed his teeth. He has to disappoint his father again by telling him, he broke up with his girlfriend. He imagined that look of disappointment and hurt on his father's face when he informs him.

He now wonder why he had to bring a fake girlfriend to his retirement party knowing he'd disappoint him again. He just shook his head to get those thought out of his head. Besides it wasn't the first time disappointing his Dad.

When he turned naked, Lucy came to his mind. It is Saturday, just the day she saw his naked body. He wondered if she has forgotten about him and his body. Why was he wondering?

He passed by the glass shower cubicle and took a step back to view his reflection.

So that's why she was staring at his lower part. He looked at himself more and realized how blessed he was but never gave woman the chance to enough his blessed body.

Why does he do that anyway? He remembered Lucy again, why is she having so many effect on him. He closed his eyes and imagined her hands on his body down to his belly and then back to his face before kissing him. He shook his head and saw his groin raising. Urgh! He walked to the bath tub and buried himself in the pool of water. Lucy...

She was still in my head even after dressing, and when he had breakfast he remembered how she ate like a dog. He laughed, his caregivers finding it weird. He stopped.

Eric sat in the living room watching his servant working outside through his glass door. Lucy...

He wants to see her smiley face again, she is the second woman that made him feel so helpless. 'Do you want me now?' her voice ringing in his head as he closed his eyes still seeing visions of her face.

He couldn't stop and was now frustrated, he stood up in a haste receiving a call from his friend.

Oh yes! He's arriving today and both Daniel and him were to escort him from the airport. Good timing.. maybe now he wouldn't think of the always smiling girl named Lucy.

The knocks on the door frightened Lucy and she gasped. She cursed the person at the door before going to answer. "Who is it?" She cried out before unlocking the door.

"Tory" her face lit up upon seeing her friend. She reached out to her for a hug. "Vanessa" she also hugged the little girl whose hair was tied in two ponytails while her friend went in like it was her house. Lucy put her arm around Vanessa's neck as they walked in before she closed the door with her other hand.

"Tory, I thought you've forgotten about me" she faked a frown as she sat on the floor with Vanessa her friend's daughter playing with her black hair.

"Here, have my phone and go play some games okay?" Lucy handed her phone to the little girl who couldn't wait to have it in her hands.

"Thank you auntie" she said and with that she went to her auntie's room.

"I guess I really have" Tory said sounding not sincere. Lucy knew that but chosed to play along.

"Awww, I'm not worth to be remembered then" she said taking some of Tory's nails instrument and polish. She began to paint her nails.

"You know you'd pay for that right?" She asked pointing at the Polishes.

She was sitting on the only couch Lucy had going through her phone.

"C'mon, I'm your friend, I deserve to have them for free"

Tory took it from her.

"I'm having three home services in this part of the city that's why I ended up here since I'd be passing by. Sorry, I've not been coming to visit"

"That's exactly what I wanted to hear from you but seriously it isn't a problem"

"Hmm, so how are you doing?"

"As always, not okay, I lost my job a week ago" she replied seeing that concerns look on Tory's face. She was about telling her not to look at her that way but seems Tory was to fast to speak first.

"How are you now coping without a job? Should I..."

"No, I actually met this guy last Saturday"

"Don't tell me you've started your give and take job again"

"No, I wanted to but he... " She shook her head not wanting to recall so much about him. "He just handed me some cash for pretending to be his girlfriend for a night" she tilted her head to one side.

"I don't understand did you..."

"Nah... He told me he doesn't want me and I guess I wasn't his type" she sounded sad about it, Tory sensed that but ignored it.

"Whatever" she lifted her hands to show she doesn't care whereas she does. Lucy eyed her. "You know Lucy, I'd advise you to get married soon. Can't you see me. I'm happily married with a kid" she said bringing sadness to Lucy's heart.

"Tory, why don't you paint my nails?" She changed the topic and Tory played along.

Tory is a childhood friend, two years older than Lucy. They met at her aunt's place but Tory left Lucy alone to study more and when Lucy ran from home she came living with Tory until she was able to raise money to rent an apartment for just herself. Not long when she left, Tory found a man and they got married. Tory was and is the closet friend she has and felt she could tell her somethings about herself and Tory also felt the same.

"That's two dollars"

"C'mon"

"I'm serious about it"

"Carry on then"

Tory brought out the instrument needed.

"Which color do you think would be nice?" Lucy asked.

Tory kept quiet and she thought of a fitting color. She then looked at Lucy's hair. "You dyed your hair?"

"Hmph"

"Then, I'd take the color of your hair, black and green" she suggested.

"Great idea Tory, do you have any modeling part time job I can do?"

She didn't think of that since but now that Tory was around, she thought of that because she does some modeling part time job introduced by Tory sometimes.

"Umm.... I don't think so but I'd search and call you when I find one. Don't worry" Tory assured her with a sweet smile.
