The Phone Call

Zoey's POV:

What a bummer! I nearly had him, all to myself. We were so fucking close. He tricked me into believing that he was gonna really kiss me. He was good at playing mind games too, interesting! But, there was always a next time. I didn't even get the job. Though, I was sure of the next day.

Maybe, I wasn't playing my games right. If he was actually gonna make me break my damn rules, my mission might be forfeited. I couldn't let that happen. Now, I knew he wasn't gonna make my games that easy as I thought. He was rare and different.

I heard my phone ring out loudly. I emptied out the entire contents of my bag on my bed in search of my phone. I finally got hold of it. She was the one calling. The one I was paid to work for. I could already predict what she was gonna blabber in my ears.

"Zoey, are you on the call?", she shrieked.

"Sorry, yeah!", I answered. "Look, I know why you called. I didn't get the job-

She interrupted right away. "You must be kidding, right? Is this some kind of joke to you?", she asked. She sounded furious.

"Calms! I'd be giving you the good news tomorrow, okay?", I assured.

"Much better. Don't try mess around with him; know your damn limits", she warned. I rolled my eyes over.

"Okay okay", I remembered what almost happened earlier. She could split my throat if she got to know about it.

"Your time is limited. The job needs to be accomplished. You may not know how much it will mean to me", she said.

"As long as you fulfill your promise when the time comes", I responded.

"Leave it on me. Good bye", she said and then, hung up. I grinned at the screen widely. I was determined to try harder. I would bring him down certainly, no matter the sacrifices I'd have to make.

I rolled myself out of my bed. My body was feeling sticky; a sign that I needed to take a good shower after such a hectic day. I stripped off my clothes and ran into the cold shower.

The game was just yet to begin.
