employee.
He would probably be surprised to learn that I even have feelings.
Prick.
I open the door and slam it behind me as I get onto the elevator. I have to take back what little self-respect that I have and get out of there. I will just have to find another way to pay off my debts because this situation was no longer going to work out for me.
When I get to my car, I throw my bags into the back and get in. I can feel the tears falling down my face and I pull out my cell phone to dial Paula’s number.
“Hey, girl,” she says, sounding upbeat.
“I need you to be at my house,” I sob into the phone.
“What happened? Are you okay?”
“No, I just really need a friend right now. I’m on my way home.”
“Okay well, I’m on my way. See you when you get there.”
“Thanks,” I say as I hang up the cell phone and toss it on the seat beside me.
I wipe the tears from my eyes, pull out of the parking garage, and start my drive home away from this place and away from Archer.
Chapter 13
Pulling up into my apartment complex, Paula is already standing outside the door.
The tears are already welling up in my eyes as Paula holds up a bottle of wine and a bag of cookies. I open the door, rush inside and immediately crash on my couch.
I hear Paula digging around in my cabinets and then the cork popping out of the wine bottle. Softly, she comes into the living room, handing me a wine glass.
“So are you going to tell me what’s going on?” she asks as she takes a sip of wine and looks at me with concern.
I take a long sip of wine and look at her. “I had sex with Archer.”
“You did what?”
“We had sex. He had asked me to help him relieve some stress again and I did. Only this time we were in his bedroom and I decided to just go for it and have sex with him. It was amazing and we even slept in the same bed together all night…”
“But?”
“But then today, two blonde bimbos came over and he acted like I didn’t even exist. He ignored me while the girls flashed their million dollar breasts in his face. It made me so mad. How could he just ignore me like that after the night we shared?”
“Did he say anything to you while the other girls were there?”
“Not a word. All he said was that I was his nurse and that they should keep him company because he was lonely, when literally, we did nothing but talk to each other the whole time I was there. I just… I feel so used and worthless.”
“Well I’m telling you right now that you shouldn’t feel that way. It’s his lost, Lara. Some guys are just jerks and Archer is just a privileged rich jerk.”
“I know. I know but I just thought that he was different. We opened up to each other about a lot. He opened up about his parents and how he has an alcohol problem, and I opened up about my Mom and my evil stepfamily and my Dad. I told him things that I’ve never even talked to Jack about. In the short time that I’ve known him, he has made me feel ways that no man has ever made me feel.”
Paula puts her wine glass down and looks at me. “Did you…did you fall in love with him, Lara?” she asks.
I finish off my glass of wine and place it down.
“I wouldn’t say I fell in love with him. I felt something very strong with the person who I think he is and not the person that he pretends to be.”
“I don’t know what to say, Lara. I know I said that as long as you were giving hand jobs you should’ve had sex with him but never did I think that you would actually like him. If anything it should’ve been a short fling. But if he opened you up to the point where you trusted him, then I think that maybe you should give him a chance to explain himself.”
I shake my head.
“No, I know now that he’s no different than any other guy I’ve come across. If he has to put on a front to his so called friends, then we are never going to work
