Episode 4

Sober up

Scarlett

That damn asshole. Just drop dead wherever you are. Words were not enough to explain how I felt and wanted to do to that boy after playing with my heart. I just turned my head up when my alarm rang, looking to the ceiling.

All I wanted to do was to lay in my bed but I could give that jerk for a boss the joy to see me down.

He even asked me to be his maid as punishment for when we first met and later. Maid? Huh. Total jerk.

Speaking of which I think he might have asked me to let him teach me how to love, or maybe I was drunk. Either ways I was not planning on taking up the offer.

I got dressed and quickly got to the office, I had to forget that asshole that dumped me and work, a lot of work could help.

"Hello beautiful" Simon greeted from behind me then gave me a kiss on the fore head.

"Hey bestie, how was your night?" I asked

"It was going fine till someone broke my beauty's heart. Now give me that beast's number so I can have a one on one with him" he said with a serious face but with a joking tone.

"There is no need for that, that's why I didn't tell you. That's why I never tell any of you this things, stop behaving like I can't take care of myself" I said

Him and Naomi were always over protective of me

"We know you can, but sometimes it's good to let someone help" Simon said then his phone rang and I knew just who it was.

"Naomi, how is everything. You are on speaker" Simon said. Bad choice.

"Hope you've talked to her and please send his number to me, I also have some things to say to him. Nobody hurts my hubby" Naomi shouted then ended the call

"Thank you Simon" I said then rolled my eyes. As we stood there talking, I saw Pamela walking in our direction but I ignored it because I doubted that she would have anything to say to me. But now that she is standing in front of me, I take that back.

"Miss Pierce" she said in a tone like she was trying to confirm my name, so I nodded.

"Mr. Price sent me to you. He said you should still think about his offer, it only comes once and this is his address in case you change your mind. You only have till the end of the day" she said and handed me the paper.

"Alright" I said

"Alright. I'll take my leave now" she said then left

"Address huh, what's going on?" Simon asked

"It's not what you think so take that smug smile off your face. He said he wanted to teach me how to love, but I don't think I would be needing it again" I said then threw the paper in the bin next to the printer and went to sit.

"Sometimes it's good to let someone help" Simon said as he dropped the paper which I had thrown into the bin on my table. Then sat on his chair and went back to work.

I wasn't interested in any of Mr. Prices offer but deep down I could fell something deep that wanted it, so I took a walk just some few minutes before launch time so I could just join it together. As I was walking still lost in my thoughts, something interesting caught my eyes.

My ex who needed space and one of my friend old friends who I hadn't seen in a while were seriously kissing.

I couldn't believe it, even though I saw it with my own eyes.

Now I know why she was never always around. Bitch!

I couldn't stand the sight anymore and I couldn't let myself cry. So I called Simon.

"Hey Simon can help me take my things to my place am not feeling well" I said

"are you okay bestie?" he asked knowing that I was lying

"yeah. I just don't feel well. Please also tell Naomi that I will be coming back late" I said and he sighed, knowing I didn't want to talk about it now. "Alright. But don't drink too much and beware of horny creeps" he said with a little chuckle and I chuckled to then ended the call. After that, I found myself a very nice bar to keep myself company. After a few drinks, not too much to get me drunk though, I kept replaying the break up scene and what happened.

I couldn't take it anymore, why did it have to be me, always me. I then remembered that Mr. Price made me an offer but the hope disappeared when I remembered throwing it away. So I took one more glass of beer and seconds later I remembered that Simon had picked it up and dropped it on my table. I began to search my bag, like an addict searching for her stash of coke. And when I found it I reacted the same way they would if they finally found their stash. I could even see the way the barrister was looking at me, I just gave him a warm smile, then stood up from the chair and began to find my way to Mr. Price's house.

My eyes couldn't really see the house well but I knew it was big and shinning but that is not why I was here. I pressed the door bell and seconds later, he showed up in front of me.

"What? It's two in the morning" he complained but it didn't seem like he was just waking up from sleep. Anyways I still came in. He sighed and followed be behind.

"I don't like repeating myself" he said as I was looking around the living room which looked and office more or less a storage room because of the papers everywhere.

"I want you to teach me how to love like that. Like someone who a guy will want to look at as a woman and I want to get back at that ex of mine!" I said with so much rage and I knew he could see it from the way he looked at me.

"Alright. We can start when you want, not inclusive of tonight" he said and I nodded my head with a light smile, that was hardly noticeable.

He turned to go back to his room but stopped in his tracks as I cleared my throat.

He turned back to look at me, waiting for me to talk.

"It's a bit late, so I was wondering if I could sleep over, maybe on the couch or on the floor?" I asked as politely as possible.

"NO! And please sober up. I can't teach you something new if you don't let go of the old" he said then turned and continued to climb the stairs.

"And don't forget to shut the door behind you" he said then entered his room.

Holy shit! I hope I won't regret it?
