Chapter 28 Inviting Amy home


    They ate their meal in afortable 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 almostpletely


    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 toherst


    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 yed 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 ying 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


    d 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,


    sessful, 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 sessful CEO, she learnt that in her


    internship where marketting sales manager got involved with his secretary and after Heter 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 coffeester, she decided she


    had had enough of the scenery and wanted her bed and a warm hug from her nkets.


    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 ce, 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 waszy and didn''t want to get involved with any stress just yet.


    Wait the fact that she installed a wine cab 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 nned.


    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


    "Hey love," Xander voice came in neutral and slightly nd, 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 ringing


    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


    ss 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 saidughing 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.


    "Myndlord 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 thest 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 drivere 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 herugh alittle.


    "How about I ask them to make you some hot chocte 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


    nkets, Rachel covered with some nkets 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...
