I could have never afforded something like this prior to this weekend. I would have had to work sixty hours to pay for it.
The thought depresses me. Sixty hours! I bet if Xander worked for sixty hours, he’d have a lot more money to buy more than just a handbag. We’re probably talking tens of thousands of dollars. I had a brief glimpse of his lifestyle this past weekend, and that took big money.
Money I’m not well acquainted with. Geez, even Dad’s birthday gift knocked me back some. I have five-thousand dollars from Xander, but that will only last for so long, maybe less than a year with the way things are going. And with my savings dwindling down, something has to change or else I might need to get a second job.
Or would I? I stare at my phone. I open Xander’s texts from this past weekend, settling on his last few messages. I stare at them, hypnotized.
Xander carries trouble with him, but he also carries something else, something life changing. And that is a job that pays a lot.
But what about Liam? I promised him I’d stay away from Xander.
Yeah, well he also finger fucked me in the bathroom, then ditched me without another word. So I think it’s safe to say that I don’t owe him shit.
What other options do I have? I have no university degree, no trade skills. I can become a manager at 4Scoops, but that will take years. Living in downtown Toronto is expensive; my savings are dwindling down as each month passes.
It could be life changing. And it wouldn’t have to be forever, just until I save enough to get me by without having to work shitty jobs. Just until I find out what I really want to do with my life, which I have no idea right at this moment. If I became Xander’s personal assistant, the life I have now will change forever.
There will be no going back. I ponder for a few seconds before opening and typing a new message.
I accept.
I hesitate before pressing send. This is it, the moment that will change everything.
Can I handle it? I mean, how bad could it be?
Taking a giant breath, I press send.
Here goes nothing!
