My Addiction by Ida Gonzalez (summer reading list TXT) 📗

Chapter 8 again you

Paula.

Starting today, Katherine will not go to school because she has weakened a bit, so from now on, she will be taking distance classes. I feel a little dejected. You can see in my face that I have not even slept well these days and how can I do it when I have my only sister's illness to worry about and to make it worse, I don't have enough money to pay for her treatment, there is only a few left.

"Good morning, Isa" I say, looking at my blonde.

"Good morning, friend. How is Katy?" always so attentive, she is the best friend I am glad to have.

"She's fine. I just need the money for her medicine.”

"And will handsome Iam call you for a second date?"

“I hope so, friend, otherwise I will have to find other means to get the money. I can't delay long,"

“Don't worry, you will get through it. Just have faith,” I sigh, I hope so.

”I am very anguished. Time is running out for my sister and I still can't do anything,” again a lump forms in my throat and Isabela just looks at me with sorrow.

Lunchtime arrives and when I am about to have lunch my phone rings. It is Iam, my heart start beating, not because of him, but because of the fact that if he called me it was for a second date and that's what I was waiting for. Finally, I would have the money.

 

"Hello," I reply without wanting to sound too desperate.

"Hello, Beautiful, how are you?"

"Well, Iam. To what do I owe your call?" I ask, eager for him to tell me that he wants a second outing.

"I'm calling you to tell you that tonight I want you to come with me to a friend's house" I closed my eyes and raised my face up as if thanking God.

"Well, what time do I have to be ready?"

“At eight o'clock. I'll pick you up, princess. Is that okay?

"Yeah right," I roll my eyes as if I can decide. He's paying me and he still acts like it's a real date.

"How should I dress?" That's all I ask because really with these people I don't even know what to wear.

"Simple, it's just a welcome dinner, nothing too important,, Paula," my name on his lips sounds good.

"Okay, I'll be at eight. So, Ah, I have a question," I interrupt before he could hang up.

"Tell me, beautiful."

 

"Can you deposit the money tomorrow?" There was a silence and I just swallowed hard. He will be thinking the worst of me but I don't care. When this is all over, I will never see him again.

"Yes, tomorrow. That's right."

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, I'm sending you a kiss. I'll see you tonight" he hangs up leaving me with a bitter taste but with a breath of relief at least.

Today I was thinking of doing a double shift but I will tell Marc that I will not be able to do it. I have to go to the apartment, so with great nervousness, I go to his office to talk to him. I walk, wringing my hands together. I am afraid that Marc would get tired and will say goodbye to me on one of these days.

"Marc, can I come in?" I ask, poking my head in slowly.

"Come in, Paula. How can I help you?" he raises his head to look at me.

"I wanted to let you know that I will not do a double shift today because I have something important to do tonight."

He changes his expression to a tense one.

"A date?" he asks with a frown, clearly annoyed.

"No, it's just something I have to do with Kathy," I hate to lie but I have no choice. He doesn't have to know the truth. I just sigh.

"Okay, you can leave at three o'clock when your shift is over," he replies reluctantly and I only smile, slightly.

"Thanks, Marc," he nods and I leave without expecting anything else. As I leave I meet Isa, who looks at me with narrowed eyes.

 

"Isa, I need you to stay with Katy again tonight. Could you do that, please?" I put my hands together.

"Are you going out with Iam?" she raises one of her perfect eyebrows.

"Yes, and tomorrow he will deposit the money."she smiles, applauding.

 "Yes friend, look, you know, you can ask me whatever you want. That's what we're here for, Paula, you help me, I'll help you."

"Thank you, my blonde but I have something else to ask of you. Can I borrow some clothes, please? You have a lot of them,” she raises a finger to her chin, thoughtfully.

“I think I have just the dress. I'll get out of here and fly to my apartment and take you home. What a thrill. You will look beautiful. Who knows, maybe there you will meet the love of your life since they are great millionaires.” she jumps up, excited and I just want to throw up. My stomach hurts.

"Isa! Don't start," she laughs.

"Oh friend! What you need is a good man to fuck you until you lose consciousness."
