I thought about a lot of stuff as I sat there in the cab, the cab ride was a way to reminisce on the things I’d missed while I’d been playing hero for Ariel and camped out at the hotel.Gym and martial arts classes weren’t necessary anymore unfortunately, I knew every martial arts technique in the world and could effortlessly use them in fights.As for going to the gym, I asked the system and it told me that I could increase my physical prowess by just upgrading some attributes so it wasn’t necessary and I would have to find a better use for the new time on my hands.I finally got back to the hotel and checked back into my room, as I walked in I took a look around the room and came to a realization.“I can’t keep living here, '' I said to myself. My exams were over now, I had no reason to hide and camp out at the hotel, at the same time, returning back to my old apartment didn’t sit right with me.I don’t know how, but the location of my previous house had been compromised, too many p
I guessed that I would have had to stay in the hotel for maybe another few nights.I didn’t want to have to spend the night at my previous place and I would need more time to pick up my things and leave immediately.I also had to meet up with Logan that evening, it would be easier to get to Central Park from the hotel anyway.Plus there was the possibility of getting jumped by my stepmom's goons. ‘That reminds me, those guys haven’t contacted me since, something is definitely wrong somewhere, I’ll find out when I get back home,’ I thought.It was unusual for them to take this long, I was sure they would want to work for me, I wouldn’t apply any pressure yet, I’d just have to wait for the opportune moment.I took a nap to pass the time and set an alarm for exactly an hour before the meeting with Logan so I would have enough time to prepare and to avoid oversleeping.I lay on the bed and in a few moments, I was asleep. The alarm rang loudly a couple of hours later and I got up and took
‘This was probably about the email she’d sent to me huh, I’ll hear what she has to say’ i thought and I picked the call.“Hello?” I said.“Hey Malcolm” she said in response.“I got your email, you definitely don’t joke around.” I said.“Yeah about that, I’m always honest with however I feel, so I’ll say it straight. I’m into you Malcolm, as in I like you and I want us to go out on a date.” She said.“Sure.” I simply said.“Wait really? That’s it?” She shouted over the phone, I could tell she wasn’t expecting that type of response.“It’s not that deep, I’m in the road right now so I can’t talk well, just email me the address and the time and I’ll be there. I have to go now, bye.” I said and hung up the phone.‘I know where this is going, but rejecting her would put a huge wedge between us, the relationship we have right now is still too delicate, so I’ll just have to play along’ I thought.I walked for a short while longer and was finally able to get a cab back to the hotel.As the car
Me and Logan had walked to the bus stop in the scorching sun and had gotten separate cabs as I headed back to the hotel.“I definitely need to get him a car,” I uttered to myself during the cab ride.When I got to the hotel I got on the computer and searched for houses on sale on the internet.After surfing for a while, I came across one I really liked and it cost around $1.5 million. The number for the real estate agent was there and I copied it out and dialed it.Millionaires of my time didn’t really live in such mansions, with my knowledge I knew they owned real estate companies and would live in one of the houses owned by these companies and would still pay for rent.The idea of rent didn’t sit well with me, I wanted this place as an asset and I would get it.The phone rang for a while before it was picked and I could hear the voice of a lady on the other side.“Hello?” The voice said, it sounded like a middle aged woman, probably in her early thirties.“Good day, I saw this numbe
I woke up the next morning feeling a sense of peace. The bed was very comfortable and I lay there for a few more minutes before getting up.I checked the time, it was around ten in the morning. I must have been very tired from unpacking and the pent up fatigue from all this while must have hit me at once.I got up and threw my clothes off before heading into the jacuzzi and I sat it in, relaxing my limbs totally. The hot water served as a sort of medicine and I got out feeling very refreshed.I got out after about thirty minutes and went ahead to take a shower. When I was done I looked at myself in the mirror. I needed a haircut, and my spa day appointment was that Friday.So thinking about what I could do to pass the time, I decided to head to a hair salon to get a fresh new cut. My hair was silky and curly and it needed a trim.I also needed to revitalize my curls.As I dressed I heard a loud horn outside on the street. ‘Right on time’ I thought. I put on my clothes and headed down
A couple of more minutes and she was done and she then finally paid attention to me.“Yes? How can I help you?” She asked, a frustrated look on her face. It was clear that she wasn’t happy about something or she just didn’t like her job, either way I wouldn’t stand for being treated wrongly.“I’d like to get a haircut please.” I simply said.“Do you have an appointment?” She responded.“No I don’t,” I said back.“Then I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to get an appointment first sir.” She said still not looking at me.I felt the urge to flare up and give her a piece of my mind but I controlled my emotions, getting angry wouldn’t change anything, it would just worsen the situation, so I decided to manipulate my way around the situation.“So you’re telling me, that in a complex this large, where I can clearly see multiple barber shops open right now, I can’t get a haircut without having an appointment?” I asked.“I’m afraid that’s how things are done here sir” she said, finally lo
“So where to first? I’d expect you to treat me with the very best that you have to offer here Miss Brittany.” I said.“Of course Mr. Malcolm, trust me you’re going to have a wonderful time here and please, call me Britt, that’s what most people call me,” She said.“Well I’m sure my time here would be very wonderful as long as I can remain in your company,” I said and I could see her blush, our arms still tightly locked together.I could feel the warmness of her body on mine. It had been a while since I’d been this close to a woman, a really long time. ‘You know what, I think I just might start flirting more often’ I thought to myself and smirked.“I thought it was I who had a way with words Mr. Malcolm, I’m certainly being proven otherwise right now,” she said. This wasn’t her first rodeo.Even though she was flustered she didn’t lose her composure and I admired that about her. “I try my best, and it’s only fair that you call me Malcolm right from now on as well.” I said and we both l
And so we began our shopping spree fiasco.Britt and I picked up a bunch of clothes for me that we liked and when we were done we entered the changing room.She brought a chair and sat across the box. “Okay Malcolm, try on your outfits and I’ll rate how they look on you.” She said and crossed her legs on the seat.I stood in the changing box and said “how about you? Won’t you be trying out some outfits?” I asked.“Malcolm, this whole day is about you, just enjoy yourself,” she said.“And if I insist?” I replied.“Well then i wouldn’t have a choice anymore” she said and I grinned.“In that case, Britt, I want you to try on some dresses as well, specifically the ones I pick out for you, oh and I insist,” I said.“Fine then, you win, but I’ll only do that after you’re done trying on all of yours. I did see some gowns I wanted to try anyway,” she said.“Good, now if you’ll excuse me I’ll be trying out the first outfit now,” I said and closed the door.“Take your time,” she said.It was ve
