Chapter 1
“I can’t go any faster Bella.”
“Well we have two hot guys waiting to dance with us, so I think you should try.”
“I’m going. I’m going. Why don’t you go say hi to your Dad upstairs or something? I’ll work faster on my own. I’ll come up when I’m done.”
“Alright. But 15 minutes, tops!”
“Ok.”
Elizabeth Cleveland, or Liz, was always working and her best friend Isabella Wellington was never working. It was the one thing the two of them always could count on. Luckily Isabella, Bella, was so busy with her socialite life that she hardly noticed how much Liz actually worked.
Liz finished up her work in the filing room of the WellBright Law Firm, and then headed up the elevator to the top floor. She hated going up to the boss’s floor and only did so when Bella was there. Bella’s father, Harrison Wellington was a partner in one of the largest law firms in New York City. Although, Bella and Liz had been friends for two years, Liz still did not feel comfortable around her father. There was something about that man that made her knees weak.
Harrison Wellington was one of the youngest partners of a successful law firm in all of New York City. He became partner at only thirty-two years old. For the past seven years he had lived and breathed his business. But he always made time for Isabella when she wanted to see him. He was intimidating to Liz, not just because he was her boss. Harrison was insanely handsome. Liz found it hard to even look him in the eyes because he intimidated her so much.
As the elevator ascended to the top floor of the building, Liz could feel her heart rate quickening. There was just something about this man that made it hard for her to breath. She stepped off of the elevator and sat in the reception area.
“Ms. Cleveland. You can go inside. Ms. Wellington is in there.” The impeccably dressed blonde secretary said.
“No thank you.” Liz was perfectly fine sitting in the lobby and waiting for Bella.
The secretary picked up the phone, but Liz could not hear what she was saying.
Suddenly Bella came bursting out of the large mahogany door.
“Come say hi to my father Liz.” She says with so much excitement that Liz couldn’t bear to say no. In fact, most of the time when Liz was around Bella she found it hard to say no to her.
Bella was three years younger than Liz, but so much better with all the social aspects of life. Which she should be, Bella spent her entire life socializing with people and Liz spent it trying to survive.
“Elizabeth, how do you like working here?” Harrison asked as Liz walked into his office.
“It’s good. Thanks again for the job.” Liz briefly looked up and smiled at him.
She thought a short glance at him would be safe. But instantly she felt the red hot heat start to fill her cheeks. His deep blue eyes just penetrated to her soul, it was impossible not to feel the electricity shoot through her body. Liz was sure this was not a mutual feeling. She was just a school girl with a crush.
“Well that’s good. Bella says you are living with your boyfriend off campus now? No more dorms for you?”
“I couldn’t afford it. It’s cheaper off campus.”
“Yes. I bet it is. See Bella, this is what a responsible young woman does, pays attention to the costs of things.” Harrison jokingly nudged his daughter.
“Oh Dad. I couldn’t work as hard as Liz. I think I would actually die.”
“Yes, I think you would.” Harrison winked at Liz when he said this.
“Ok well Liz should we head out?”
“Yes.” Liz said, so relieved to be able to leave this office.
“You girls be safe tonight. I’m heading to Boston for a week, but if you need anything I’m just a call away Isabella.”
“I know Dad. We will be safe. Don’t worry, I’m with responsible Elizabeth.” Bella hugged her father and Liz made a straight line for the elevator. It was amazing after knowing Bella for two years now Liz still felt weak in the knees around her father.
It wasn’t like Harrison was a fatherly looking guy though. At thirty-nine years old, he was still very young. He was tall, probably close to six feet two inches. His dark brown hair always impeccably styled with just the right amount of length so you could see the natural waves. His chiseled jaw line and deep blue eyes made him the dream guy that thousands of girls wished they could take to bed.
Liz wasn’t interested in taking him to bed; he really was out of her league. Not to mention he was her best friend’s father. But Liz couldn’t deny that he was the guy she had always dreamed about. Not just for his looks either. He was a great father to Bella, despite getting a divorce a few years earlier. Harrison was very involved in Bella’s life and always there for his little girl.
As the elevator doors closed Liz finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at her reflection in the shiny elevator doors and can see the bright red blush of her cheeks. It always happened when she was around Bella’s Dad.
“Geesh Liz, why are you so mean to my father all the time?” Bella jokingly says.
“I’m not mean!”
“I’m kidding. But you never want to be around him. He’s a nice guy.”
“Bella, he’s my boss now. It’s just a little weird.”
“Whatever…I’m texting Matt and Wade to meet us at Roxy.”
“Yes, I could use a night of drinking and dancing. But one of these days your Dad’s going to find out you have a fake ID and kill you.”
“Oh Liz, I’ve got him so wrapped around my finger.” Bella smiled a sly grin. Liz knew what she said was true. Although Liz was twenty-two and legally could get into the dance club, Bella was only nineteen and would have to use her fake ID. It made Liz more nervous than Bella though, she didn’t seem to have a care in the world. Well, she really didn’t have to worry about much in this world. Not like Liz had to.
Chapter 2
The Roxy was busy as usual. It was Friday and everyone was out and ready to dance all night long. Bella and Liz arrived and were let in very quickly by Marco the bouncer. Bella had tipped him $500 once to let them in and ever since then he just opens the rope when they arrive. Bella gives him what looks to be another $100 as the girls walk past hundreds of people in the line.
“Now that’s how you get into a club.” Bella flashes her infectious smile. Liz knows she is right. Bella has probably been tipping people longer than Liz could even imagine. That was just the way things were in New York. The tippers and the people taking the tips.
Liz knew she was one of the people taking the tips, at least most of the time. But someday soon she’d have her marketing degree and get a sweet job that paid great. Anything would be better than working all day as a file clerk and nights as a waitress; plus trying to go to school.
“Oh Shit.” Liz said as they came to their usual table. There was Wade and Matt and two other girls. The girls were obviously flirting with the guys. Wade was being a gentleman and was a decent two feet away from the girl on his side of the table.
But Matt was not so much of a gentleman. His arm was wrapped around the blonde bimbo’s waist.
Bella noticed too and stopped dead in her tracks.
“Geeze Liz, he’s a jerk. When are you going to cut him loose?”
“Bella, you know I can’t afford to pay for my tuition and an apartment. He’s my only option right now. He’s not so bad. He just likes to flirt.”
“Whatever! You so deserve better than him.”
“Let’s just go dance. I don’t even want to deal with him right now.”
“I’ve got to say hi to Wade Liz. I’ll break up Matt’s little love fest.”
Liz walked behind as Bella marched right up to Matt and the girl he was talking to. She put her arm around the girl and whispered something in her ear. The girl, took off so fast, she was gone by the time Liz got to the table.
“Bella, you didn’t have to be rude.” Matt said.
“I wasn’t rude you jerk. I offered to eat her pussy till she begged me to stop.”
“Oooh fuck yeah! That’s my girl.” Wade said as he grabbed Bella and the two of them started to make out.
Liz couldn’t help but laugh. Bella was a wild woman. Much crazier than Liz was, well at least from the stories Bella had told her. Liz was shy. She definitely was not the type that would say something like that to anyone or do something like that with another girl.
“Enjoying yourself?” Liz said as she stood next to Matt.
“Come on babe. She came over to me. I couldn’t be rude.”
Liz wanted to say so much more to Matt, but she couldn’t afford an argument or losing her place to stay right now. She was only one semester away from graduation. It had taken her five years of working and slaving away to get this far. She wasn’t about to let this stupid jerk get in her way of her dreams.
He really wasn’t that bad. She would just have to tough it out for a few more months. She could do it. Liz knew the only other option would be to drop out of school and that wasn’t really an option. She had worked for five years to get this degree.
“Fine. Let’s just go dance.” Liz grudgingly offered a truce.
“Right on babe.” Matt eagerly grabbed Liz and pulled her close by putting his hand on the back of her neck. She tried to pull away at first, but finally gave in. No use being mad at him if she couldn’t really be mad.
Matt never really stopped at just a kiss though. Soon his other hand was sliding up her skirt. Liz tried to pull away but he held her close to him. Matt slowly moved his lips to her neck and down toward her breasts. He didn’t care that they were in a club full of people. By this time he was already pretty drunk and obviously horny. Liz knew that fighting him off was a mute point so she tried a different approach.
“Babe. I want to dance. Let’s go dance.” She whispered in his ear.
Matt either didn’t hear her over the club music, or didn’t care. He kept moving his hand up her thigh and soon he was pulling her underwear off to the side.
Liz looked over to Bella to see if she was watching, but Bella was too busy making out with Wade.
“Babe. Not here. We are in the middle of the club. Let’s go dance.” Liz tried again.
Matt again ignored her. Instead, kissing her hard so she would stop talking. Then he let his middle finger slide inside of her.
Liz arched back and let out a primal moan. As much as she didn’t want to do this here, in the middle of the club. It was still exciting. Her body was reacting to Matt and she couldn’t stop herself.
As his finger moved inside her, Liz looked around nervously. But no one in the club was paying attention to her and Matt. She again tried to push him away, but it felt so good.
His thumb moved to her clit and started rubbing. Liz couldn’t stop herself now, it felt so good. Matt slid a second finger inside her. Now Liz was done for. Her body was getting wet and she could feel the rumbles of an orgasm building.
“Matt, god. Matt.” Liz mumbled as his fingers moved faster and harder.
“You like that, don’t you babe.” Matt said with pride.
“Yes.”
Matt thrust his fingers in and started wiggling them around. His thumb pressing hard against Liz’s clit. She couldn’t resist any longer. Liz put her hand on the table for balance as she started to cum. Slowly the wave of ecstasy swept through her body and her legs got weak.
Chapter 3
After Matt’s little games, Liz had to excuse herself and headed off to the restroom. Bella followed close behind, oblivious to what had just happened between Matt and Liz.
“It’s ok Liz. He’s a jerk. Don’t let it ruin your night.”
“No I’m fine. It’s ok. He apologized.” It was just a small lie. Liz knew Matt would never actually apologize.
“Alrighty. Let’s pee then party!” Bella danced her way into the ladies room.
As the girls headed back to their table, Wade was just heading toward them.
“Hey girls. Should we go get some drinks at the bar? I’m buying.” He said as he tried to get the girls to follow him over to the bar on the other end of the club.
“No. Let’s just go dance.” Bella said as she grabbed Wade’s hand and headed toward the dance floor. Then she saw it. Bella stopped dead in her tracks.
“Oh wait. Yes. Let’s go get a drink.” Bella said as she did a one hundred eighty degree turn.
“What?” Liz said looking over at their table, knowing something was up. Since both Bella and Wade were obviously trying to divert her attention.
There he was. Only moments after having his fingers inside her, Matt had found that blonde bimbo and was making out with her. Liz couldn’t help but feel horrible. He obviously didn’t care about her at all. What kind of man would do something like this? Matt, of course, would say the girl kissed him. Or perhaps that he was too drunk and didn’t remember. No matter what, he always had some sort of excuse.
This time Liz didn’t have the energy to even go back to the table. It was more than just him kissing another girl. It was that Liz knew she couldn’t do anything about it. She had nowhere to go. She couldn’t exactly go live in the dorms again, that was way too expensive. She couldn’t afford her own place and the tuition at school. So Liz knew she would just have to tough it out. But for right now, Liz wanted to go home.
“Will you guys take me home?” Liz asked as she looked sadly at Bella and Wade.
Liz could tell Bella really wanted to dance, but she hid her disappointment well.
“Of course we can. Right Wade?” Bella nudged him and gave him no choice.
As the three of them loaded up into Wade’s SUV, Liz felt horrible. How had her life come to this? Staying with a jerk of a boyfriend simply because she couldn’t afford her own apartment. At this moment, Liz hated her life.
Back at the apartment, Liz grabbed her things out of the bedroom and made a spot for herself on the couch. She wasn’t going to argue with Matt, but she certainly didn’t have to sleep in the same bed as him. Liz would just give him the silent treatment and sleep on the couch for a little bit. At least he would get the point and know she was mad.
Liz fell asleep faster than she had expected and soon woke up to her alarm on her phone. It was seven o’clock and Liz had to get ready for work. Saturdays were typically filled with waitressing and it was one of the best days of the week for tips.
Liz text Bella to see if she was up. Not that Bella would be waking up this early in the morning, but more likely she was still up from the night before. When Wade and Bella had dropped Liz off she heard them talking about going back out to a different club. Surely Bella wasn’t about to waste a perfectly good Friday night just because Liz wasn’t up for staying out.
Liz peaked into the bedroom and saw Matt fast asleep. At least he had come home last night, she thought to herself. But he obviously didn’t try to wake Liz up or apologize to her. Hopefully he got the point that she was mad at him. Maybe when she got home from work tonight he would at least apologize. Liz was hopeful.
M
att actually use to be a really nice guy. But his drinking had gotten out of control lately and he had flunked another semester of classes. Matt was actually 24 years old and still trying to finish up his degree. Liz thought she was taking a long time! Matt had been going to college for 7 years.
Liz met up with Bella for a quick coffee on her way to work. It was normal for Bella to have been up all night, and even more normal for Liz to be heading off to work on a Saturday morning.
“You could stay at my father’s house in my old bedroom.” Bella offers.
“Oh geeze! No!” Liz laughs.
“I know it’s a long ways from school. But it’s close to the law office and your waitressing thing.”
“No. I didn’t say no because of that. I’m not living with your father!”
“Why. He wouldn’t mind.”
“Oh my god, Bella! Yes he is nice. I can’t live with someone else’s family. That would be weird. Plus he’s technically my boss. That would be weird. Plus he’s your Dad. That would be weird.” Liz was not about to include the fact that he was drop dead gorgeous. It was a given fact, well at least Liz thought it was well known to the world. How could Bella not realize how friggin hot her Dad was?
“Ok. Ok. Liz. But seriously, it would be better than staying with that asshole Matt.”
“Nah. It’s fine. He apologized all night long last night. He was just drunk.” Liz didn’t have the heart to tell Bella the truth. Really did Bella even need to hear the truth? She didn’t understand what it was like not to have a place to go. Not to have someone to call when you needed money.
Bella lived in a private dorm room on campus. Her tuition paid for. Her housing paid for. Even a full meal plan, which Bella hardly ever used, was paid for. Liz loved Bella to death, but she couldn’t understand what life was really like for Liz.
Chapter 4
Work was crazy that Saturday for Liz. She started at 9 o’clock in the morning and didn’t get done until almost 10pm. By the time she snagged a cab and got home, all she could think about was climbing into bed and going to bed. On the couch, she wasn’t about to get back into bed with Matt yet. In fact, Liz kind of hoped Matt had decided to go out tonight. At least that way she could get to sleep right away instead of having an argument with him.
