*Jake POV*
A month later, I’m on the water-stand duty and already dreading it.Mia Drew, Tanya’s sister is an amazing multi award winning racer and very dedicated to the sport. She’s always the first on the track and quickly leaves just when the rich boys arrive.Tanya comes by a lot to watch her sister race. She, to George’s irritation, always comes to sit at the water station with me. We get along really well. I have also had the opportunity to meet Mercy Drew, my childhood crush, on several occasions too.Most of the old rich folks are surprisingly pleasant. All in all, this job is not bad.Tanya and Mia have just left when George drives by very slowly very close to the stands.I am still figuring out what he is up to when he shouts.“Hey water-boy, catch!”A container comes right at my face, urine drenching my face and clothes.I close my eyes, the acidity of the urine making my eyes sore. My fists involuntarily clench, anger brewing inside. His laughter fading away tells me that he has sped away.Bra Steve is the first to reach me and splashes water on my face. He must tell that I am fuming because he talks me down, his gentle genuinely caring voice getting to me.“Stand down, kid. He is intentionally aggravating you.”Bra Steve is also a security guard and handyman here, but is also like a father to all of us. He’s been here since the construction of the club, gets on very well with the older rich folks and has gotten a lot of us out of tight situations with the manager.I unclench my fist and take deep breaths to calm myself down. “I know. He wants me to retaliate and get fired.”It seems George is on a mission to get on my nerves. I can tolerate his groupies stupid stunts, but he really pushes my buttons.“Sorry, kid. I know that it’s hard. Go get changed, I will take over from here.”The old man comes to my aid again. I hope I will one day have the opportunity to repay him.I nod my head and head to my room where I take a quick shower and change.I meet George and his friends a few minutes later.“Hey craven! How did my urine taste? Better than any drink you can afford hey?” he says while they all burst out in laughter.It takes everything in me to not wipe his smug with my fist and mop the floor with his stupid head.“You need a job and a place to stay, Jake. The pay is good and you have friends here,” I tell myself as I walk away without responding..Four months later..“You are in trouble, Mister,” Leticia says the moment I reach the reception.I flash her a smile while taking her in. The tight tight floral dress accentuates her bosom and tiny waist. I fight the edge to pull her into my arms.“What have I done now, beautiful?”She blushes. “You know that George has been after Tanya for a very long time.”“So?” My mood suddenly gets spoiled. That name just leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.“You are to familiar with her. He doesn’t like it,” she says but her voice change tells me that this has more to do her than George.I laugh, amused and the least worried about the pompous rich boy.“Are you sure it’s George I should worry about?”“I don’t know what you mean,” she says innocently but I know that she gets jealous when I talk to Tanya or when other girls flirt with me.I chuckle because she is a really bad liar. “See you later, beautiful. That dress is hot by the way. I can’t wait to take it off.”She completely melts, her cheeks turning crimson. I curse inside when I see Bra Steve, who happens to be her father, approaching us.He waves his finger disapprovingly at me while I smile innocently at him.Leticia took a lot of her kindness and down to earth characteristics from him. I feel completely comfortable talking to her without fearing being judged. She is the only other person, besides Ty, who knows everything about me and my past and I love her for that.An hour later, I am having my lunch when Bra Steve comes to join me and I already know what’s coming.“You are a good kid…”“But?”“You are a player and too smooth with the ladies. Stay away from my daughter.”I don’t think I have seen this overprotective side of him. I guess every father is like that with his daughter.“Come on, Bra Steve. I swear I have good intentions.”He lifts his eyebrow, studying me as if deciding if I am to be trusted or not.“I swear. Leticia is a diamond I will cherish forever.”I have been meaning to come clean about the relationship I have with his daughter. Now that it has come up, I might as well confess.“Are you proposing, Mr Anderson?”“Not yet, but I will very soon when I get my finances sorted.”The pay is not bad. I have been saving most of my money to ensure that I provide her the home she deserves. I should be able to afford a nice cozy home in a years time if I continue saving the way I have been doing.“In that case, you have my blessings, Son,” he beams and I can’t believe my ears and luck. Most fathers would find me too poor and less deserving to be with their daughter, but Bra Steve is actually thrilled.“Thank you, Bra Steve. This means a lot to me.”I can’t hide my excitement when I shake his hand. I catch a glimpse of Leticia, who has been eavesdropping on our conversation and wink at her.“I know that you are there, Leticia,” Bra Steve says without looking back.I can’t help but laugh as the sound of her heels as she runs away, betray her.The old man turns to me with a straight face. “Don’t get her pregnant.”I frantically shake my head as if I am not planning on making his daughter scream my name in an hours time. “I promise.”An hour later…Completely naked and against the wall in my basement room, I break off the kiss, irritated with myself for poor planning.She looks at me with questioning eyes. My Babe wants me as much as I want her.“Condom,” I say, breathlessly and she is not pleased with me.There was a time we both worried about unplanned pregnancy but it now seems like I’m the only one.“Jake!” she exclaims when I put on the condom.“I promised your father to not get you pregnant before we wed.”“Don’t be so old school! We don’t have to be married to have a child. We are both working and can afford to raise one.”It’s all true but she stays with her parents and I stay in a basement at a racing club. I want much better than that for my child.“Babe, I just want to do things right by you,”I explain before burying my head on her neck, her moan waking up a beast I try to suppress.“Fine, we will us the damn condom.”“I love you too,” I tease as I lift her off her feet and positioning myself in her.She rolls her eyes at me and wraps her arms around my neck.“You will pay for that.”It does not take long before I have to cover her mouth to mask her moans.“Oh! Jake!”“You like that?”She nods, sinking her nails on my back.“Babe, Yes!!”At this rate, her father and everyone here will know what we are up too.I adjust my hand over her mouth before riding her until her body trembles against mine and her eyes roll back as orgasm watches over her.“I love you, Jake.”“I know.”It’s cocky but I know when a woman is into me.She remains limp in my arms before regaining her strength.I place my forehead against hers, forcing her to look at me.“Tanya is not a threat.”“She is beautiful and a model.”I shrug my shoulders. “True.”“Jake!” she exclaims with a sulking tone.“What do you want me to say Leticia. She is a friend, that’s all.”I have never even once looked at Tanya that way. She is beautiful and friendly, but she is way out of my league.“She has history with hot guys like you.”I shake my head, not impressed. Tanya told me of the history she is very ashamed of, when she left home and lived with some celebrity musicians for fame. That was over five years ago. She since got her life together and no longer that artificial but there are some who still rub that on her face. It’s not like Leticia to be in that judgment group.“That was a long time ago, she changed and you know that.”She pushes me away and picks up her clothes. “You know a lot about someone I should not worry about!”I wrap my arms around her waist and kiss her neck. “You are really hot when jealous.”“I am not jealous! She wants you and you are encouraging her!”I sigh, realising that this is serious. Women can be impossible.“Tanya is a good person and a good friend, who knows that I am crazy about you and want to marry you.”“Really?” she’s suddenly all happy now.“Woman, please. Would I give your father my word if I was not serious about you?”She shakes her cute head. “You respect Daddy.”“I look up to that man. Babe, chill, you are my lighthouse.”“Okay. See you later then,” she says with a giggle, quickly getting dressed and blowing me a goodbye kiss.I shake my head at the seemingly similar creature like myself, yet so differently wired. “Women!”*Jake POV*I have lost count of the stupid things George and his groupies do to get on my nerves. The problem with the routine is that they now know when I am on stands or on cleaning duty. I swear it has become their life’s mission to make mine miserable. I start two hours earlier than all my colleagues because most of my time is spent cleaning up the mess the rich boys intentionally make for me to clear. This morning it’s the eggshells that are scattered all over the parking lot. I am already sweating from sweeping the massive area and the sun is starting to get really hot. I am dripping with sweat by the time I get the hose, spraying and clearing the stains. Mr Reed does not engage with us much but he expects this place to be world class and sparkling. Failure to do this leads to a significant cut in our wages. I am folding the cleaning equipment up, ready to start my actual cleaning activities for the day when I notice an expensive leather wallet on the grass, not so far from t
*George POV*It’s two damn o’clock in the morning and I have not slept a wink. The hooting sounds of the owl goes on the entire night. I have never had problems sleeping my entire life but insomnia is my new best friend and it’s all because of that lowly janitor at the racing club. I have never been challenged my entire life. Be it school or social events, I rule and I always get what I want. The water-boy does not seem to understand this, nor does he know his place. He is too cocky and proud, it’s infuriating. He is just a lowly servant, a janitor but chicks actually drool over him. Then there’s the sexy bootylicious Tanya I have been trying to nail for years now. She won’t even give me an ear but she will gladly sit and happily chat with the water-boy for hours. As if that’s not enough, now grandfather thinks he is all that. The pestilent only returned the stupid wallet untouched and I can’t hear the end of it. It’s now Jake this and Jake that every damn time I meet the old man.
*Jake POV*All I want is return to my room and lick my wounds, but unfortunately, George has other plans. He and his friends are right by the elevators and stairs. I can’t avoid them even if I try. “Hey, water-boy. Need some sex lessons?” George shouts while his groupies laugh. “My bet. You actually know more that I do. Having had older experienced women very young. You should tell me how it feels dipping your tiny weeny is a well and all.”I completely lose it and finally snap. More than the list of my parent, my assault by my foster parents still haunts me at night. The therapist and Leticia are the only two people I ever told about it. Leticia knew just how hurtful that was to me yet she happily told George about it.My rage brewing out of control, my fist lands hard on his jaw, I hear it crack as the impact sends him flying across the floor.It’s too late by the time Bra Steve’s calming voice plays in my head. “Stand down, Kid. He is trying to get you fired.”Too late, George is
*Jake POV*I can’t hide my surprise when I wake up to find Tanya smiling at me. Long dark hair tied into a ponytail, perfectly round face, sexy dreamy eyes, full luscious lips and my shirt, it’s a freakin awesome sight. The tray with English breakfast is a complete shock. No woman has ever made breakfast for me before.“Morning, Handsome,” she greets with a huge smile on her face. I guess she has no regrets about last night and that’s just swell!“Morning, Gorgeous. That shirt looks amazing on you.”She giggles, places the tray over the side chest and takes a seat next to me. “I couldn’t resist wearing wearing it. I hope you don’t mind. Hungry?”I can’t help but chuckle before pulling her towards me making her fall right on top of me. I don’t know of any guy who would mind a sexy woman wearing his shirt after a very steamy night. I curse under my breath when I realise that the shirt has moved up, revealing her sensual butt and I can’t resist foundling and squeezing it. “Breakfast w
*Jake POV*“Jake! Jake! Jake!” My colleagues shout like I am some superhero the moment I walk into the clubhouse. “Seriously, Guys?”“Dude, you saved the president. You were awesome!”“Everyone wants a piece of you out there.”Guys can also be very dramatic sometimes. I entertain them for a few minutes before attempting to leave. Now that everything has settled down, I am actually exhausted and want to get out of here. “Where’s Tanya?”“Huh!”There’s definitely a story there. “Huh, what?”“She is fuming that you risked your life like that. Melanie had to console her the whole time you were out there. Poor Melanie even had to dig up her childhood prayers,”one responds and it starts all over again. “Don’t listen to them, Jake, but she is really upset. You better have some charms up your sleeve for getting her so worried,” Melanie objects but I can totally see her consoling and praying with Tanya. She is one of the kindest and empathetic women in the racetrack. “Our Miss Asherway is
*Jake POV*Six hours after the attack on the president….“Good evening, Mr Anderson. Or should I say high profile spy, undercover agent, secret service agent and ARF agent?”Tanya runs through the many identities everyone has speculated about me. I don’t know how long she has been awake surfing the net. “Hey, Gorgeous. ARF, really now?”“Apparently, the Asherway Restricted Fraternity agent stays inactive for years. They behave like ordinary citizens until something big like the attack on the president or the country happens.” Tanya is really intrigued by all of this, so I decide to entertain her.“They are the ultimate agents, extremely connected, no families, the best martial artists, swimmers, snipers…” I add, amused. This is a myth every Asherway citizen has heard yet no one knows of any ARF agent. She turns her phone around to show me a video with over a million views already. My jaw drops as I sit up.“That’s over years ago!” I am really shocked that someone has dug up my swim
*Jake POV*I am driving through the busiest intersection that’s two blocks away from the highest office on land when Tanya brings her phone to my face.“Tanya!” Now that she has decided to be a full time passenger in her own car, she forgets that a driver needs to focus and see the way.She ignores my tone and waves the phone in front of me. “Jake, look.”“This is the busiest intersection here, Tanya. I will crash your car and cause a huge accident if I look at whatever that is,” I snap before slamming on the breaks. Only then does she see that we almost bumped the car in front of us. Her phone was blocking my vision and I could not see that the traffic had come to a sudden standstill. “Sorry,” she says with a squeaky sulking voice. Great, now she is sulking instead of acknowledging her mistake. I don’t understand why women are so emotional about these things. Now I am feeling bad for snapping at her. Fine, maybe I should not have snapped. The truth is I am on urge since Leticia
*Jake POV*One more glance at the president, a quick scan in the office and there it is. My heart starts racing and the sense of calmness and extreme alertness washes over me like euphoria. Picking up the sharp metallic portrait from his desk, I grab the president by his elbow and usher him towards the door. “Jake?”I don’t quite understand why he seems confused by my actions but there is a threat here, I am certain of it. I have just turned the door knob without giving him any explanation when a voice I have only heard once but will never forget, speaks. “We mean no harm, Mr Anderson.”Mr Smith and another grey haired man around his age, stand at the far end of the office. There must be a secret door in here or some illusion of sort because I did not see them in here earlier and I did thoroughly scan the room “What was it that gave us away?” the other man asks, curiously. I look at the president, searching him for any clues of weather I should let my gut down or not. He nods, b
