Chapter 5: Part 4 – Fake Girlfriend

= CHRIS POV =

By the time I reached the building, Sarah had already gone up the lift. What in the world did she expect to fight the robbers off with, her boots?

Thankfully she told me her unit number so I waited for the lift and then headed up as well.

On the eighth floor, I could hear shouting and the sound of someone getting hit down the corridor. Was the shy delicate Sarah beating up the robber?

I dumped the food and ran, getting ready to punch the living daylights out of someone if I had to.

8-11…..8-12 yes!

I reached the unit but instead of Sarah beating up someone, there was a woman in a business suit smacking a man with her handbag repeatedly outside of Sarah's supposed apartment.

"I told you how many times? Do not sublet my apartment you jerk! You lying thieving bastard!" The lady was shouting as she smacked the shit out of the guy.

"Honey I'm sorry, she needed a place to stay…she said it was only for 6 months! She just moved in" the guy said.

"Sarah, what is going on?" I asked as I saw Sarah hiding behind a pillar.

Sarah looked at me with wide eyes and placed her finger over her lips, but it was too late. The enraged woman snapped her head around like a snake ready to strike.

"Are you Sarah? The bitch my husband cheated with to get my property for dirt cheap?" She asked, looking like steam was coming out of her ears.

I shook my head " No…my err…my girlfriend is Sarah" I said and walked over to Sarah and pulled her out from behind the pillar "She got evicted and didn't have a place to stay, so she called" I pointed to the grovelling man on the ground " her ex of over 2" I said and looked at Sarah and she mouthed '3' " 3 years ago, to help her get a place. But poor silly Sarah had no idea she would be subletting, you know how it is with, young inexperienced girls" I said, trying to sound confident but I had my eye out for that handbag.

The lady seemed to calm down, looking between me and Sarah, and then she relaxed entirely.

"Oh! 3 years huh? Well that was well before I met him. And now you are a lesbian? I'm not surprised. I've been with this doofus for a year now and I just might consider dumping him for a woman myself" she said and then turned to her husband with a sneer " You grovelling piece of shit, this is the last time I let you have the keys to my apartment. Get yourself back to your mother's place, I don't want to see a hair on your head" she said and the man scurried away like a cockroach.

"Sorry babyyyy" he said as he ran off " Please don't divorce me, I love you, I'll make it up to you" he said from behind a pillar. 

The lady's lower lip quivered and a smile tugged at the corner of her lips. Looked like there was still love for him in her eyes. 

The woman shook her head and turned back to Sarah and me.

"I have your documents so, you are lucky, that I am a nice person. I'll give you at most four hours to get your stuff and go, and I'll transfer back to you whatever money he stole from you. I would give you longer, but I do live here, and I need a place to stay tonight so that I can go to work in the morning" the lady said and handed me her business card " I just flew in from London and I'll be staying a few months before flying back out again for work".

"Thank you so much, I'll call the movers now and take care of this situation," I said and exchanged hers with mine.

"Oh, an Assistant Chef at the Royal Martins Hotel, impressive, I stayed there before and the food was always excellent," the lady said as I read that she was called Marget Winston and was the Head of a Marketing firm downtown "Sarah you elevated after Micheal, good for you, if not for the fact that I love him, I'd be looking for a chef myself," the lady said and nodded to Sarah.

Sarah smiled shyly and nodded "Yes, Chris takes care of me well" she replied, wrapping her hand around my forearm.

"Well thank you Ms. Winston, I will text you once the house is cleared of all of Sarah's property" I informed her.

"Great, I'll just leave the door open, I'm going to have a nice long drink at a pub nearby, see you girls" Ms Winston said and left, her husband trailing after her like a lovesick puppy.
