NINE

Kamilla Lopez

I am awakened with a snoring near my ear, I opened my eyes and came across Zeus looking at me, smiling to see him so cuddly with his goosebumps, he hurt and approached my neck shrinking. I put it in my hands and stared at that little gem, brought it close to my lips and kissed his head.

— Thank you for waking your mother. — I left him in bed and got out of it.

After the bath I put on my uniform and left the room with Zeus in my arms, arriving in the kitchen saw Carolina in front of the stove baking eggs and bacon.

— Good morning! — I greeted. — The smell is great!

She turned ready to greet me, but her eyes will come down and focused on what was in my hands.

— But what a baby... — she turned off the stove and approached.

— Beautiful, isn’t it? His name is Zeus, he came in here last night, can I have him?

— But of course, the house is also yours. — she took the cat out of my hands. — He’s so cute…

Meanwhile, I approached the refrigerator and from there took a box of milk, deposited in a bowl and warm for him, then deposited the warm liquid in a bowl and put it to drink, Carolina and I drank our coffee.

— What time did you arrive yesterday? — he asked me.

— I don’t remember exactly.

— Did you have a lot of fun with Bianca?

— Yeah, it was interesting.

As soon as working hours hit, I said goodbye to her treasures and left home, today I will not go with Bianca, she asked for a break to visit her mother. Already in the workplace, I walked in stride to the cafeteria, when passing through the door of the employees I was surprised by my boss.

— You’re late, Lopez. — He looked at his watch. — Twenty minutes ago.

— I’m sorry, it’s just that the bus was a little late and…

— Where is Bianca now?

— She asked for time off today.

— Ah! — He remembered. — Just start working.

While attending the customers again I felt a burning go through my body, wandered my eyes around the place, suddenly saw a man dressed in a black suit accompanied by a boy, was. Erick? I notice another security guard approached me and asked me to accompany him. As soon as I stopped in front of the little one he grabbed my legs, hugging me with all his strength.

— Hi Kami!

— Hey, Erick, what are you doing here? — I asked when I got down to your height. — Shouldn’t you be at school?

— I came to see you, why didn’t you come to visit me? You promised me, didn’t you keep your promises?

I blinked for a few seconds processing so many words, Erick looked at me with disappointment, try to form a word, but she did not come. I held his hand and brought him closer to me.

— I couldn’t visit him because I was working.

— Then quit your job.

— I can’t, I have a son to support.

— Do you have a son?

— Yes, a kitten, his name is Zeus.

— Can I meet him?

— Who knows, someday? — Smiles nervously.

At that moment I see Nick approaching us, he was wearing a dark blue suit, in his ear a phone, I watch his heavy steps, his muscles move as he walks, heavens… I can’t believe I jerked off to him. As he approached us, he said to his son,

— Come on, Erick.

The thick and rigid voice comes out of his lips like a wild growl, my mouth dry and my imagination reproduces scenes I never imagined.

— But Dad already?

I got up from the ground and was almost close to him. Nick was very tall, I raised my face to see yours, he was serious, with a scary look he threw to his son, soon the child lowered his head and said:

— Let’s go.

One of the security guards extended the no and took Erick towards the parking lot, I was stopped in the same place without sudden movement. I realized that he was still there, standing next to me, he turned his body and stood in front, a smile draws his lips, for a moment I thought of giving him his back and return to work, so I did, but before I took any step his hand grabbed my wrist if you stay there.

— I thought you knew how to take orders.

— You found it wrong, Mr. Ross.

— I said I didn’t want to see you go out at night.

— But Mr. Not the boss of me.

He lets out a smile, he steps forward and speaks with the seductive voice:

— You’re making everything more interesting, baby doll.

Unable to rebut his dubious word, Nick stepped back in stride and mingled in the crowd. I sighed a few times and went back to my work. The end of the shift arrived, I went to my closet and took my bag, said goodbye to the last one who left before me, a few minutes later I approached the door, suddenly I hear the voice of my boss behind me.

— Miss Lopez, huh?

— Yes?

— I need you to wait for some boxes in the warehouse that just arrived.

— I’ll do it tomorrow.

— Do it now! — ordered.

— But my hours are over.

— Consider it punishment for being late.

I sighed discouraged, deposited my bag on the counter and went to do what he asked me, started taking the boxes to the warehouse quickly, was crazy and tired, wanted to return home. Without waiting, I feel arms surround my waist and pulls me back, scared me is quickly moved away, faced the face of my boss where had a malicious smile.

— What do you think you’re doing?

— What is it, Lopez?

— Are you crazy? — I asked altered.

— What? You don’t like men?

— You disgusting…

— Or are you going to tell me you’re a lesbian? That makes sense since you’re stuck with Bianca.

— You don’t care, asshole!

— I’ve always found you attractive girl, let’s stay, the cameras are off, nothing will be recorded.

— Don’t come near me, I swear I’ll kill you!

I squeezed the steps out of the warehouse, approached the counter and took my bag, before approaching the exit door my body is pulled back, and I am thrown on the floor.

— You don’t play hard to get, you dumb girl!

He pulled me off the floor and tried to kiss me in the force, taking rage, I hit his lower area making him drop me and fall to the ground, frustrated and disgusted, I took a broom and broke the cable on his back watching him wrong in pain. I grabbed my bag, feeling my pulse racing, before leaving, I kicked his belly.

— Your disgrace! — offended me. — You’re fired!
