What are you doing? " Alice asked again, trying to understand what had made her friend go so far over the edge.
"I'm making a lot of money, and I'm having a damn good time doing it, with someone I already wanted anyway, and he's someone who wants me back,” she said defiantly.
Brandy leaned closer to Alice. "You remember how I was three months behind on my rent at home?"
"Yeah..." Alice looked at her suspiciously and took a stab at her salad, cramming the bit into her mouth.
"Well one time with him... one time, and all of it was paid off. I even had a little money left over. I never have leftover money,” Brandy said proudly.
Then she sighed and frowned a little. "I haven't lost all of my morals. I know it's wrong, and I felt a little weird at first doing it, but I'll tell you something, having the ability to pay my bills like that means so much to me, and it feels way better to me to have them taken care of than to sit there and worry about how I'm going to cover all of them while I'm working my ass off at the spa, not making enough money."
Alice nodded in agreement. "I get it, honey, I do... that's a lot of money, but what kind of a price is this going to cost you? You have to remember that everything comes with a price, and this is no exception. Whether it's now or later, it's going to cost you, and when it does, I hope it's something you can handle. I have seen you go through enough; you don't need to go through more."
Brandy nodded and they hugged each other goodbye tightly before going off in different directions.
Chapter4
Two days later, Brandy was walking out of her history class when she caught sight of Kyle standing nearby, waiting for her. He grinned when he saw her and she walked beside him chastely as they headed to his car, both of them allowing for a big enough space between the two of them that there could be no doubt that they were only friends.
He walked her to the car that was waiting and her jaw fell open when she saw that it was a limousine. "What is that doing here?"
. He just smiled and nodded at the driver who held the door open for them. "It's waiting for you and me,” he answered her.
"Your chariot awaits you, my lady,” he teased her as they climbed into the warm car.
"I always wondered what one of these things looked like on the inside!" She moved around the limo and looked at all the aspects of it. She poured a drink at the mini bar and flipped buttons on the television screens. Then she looked up at Kyle who was trying not to laugh at her.
"This is incredible!" She grinned at him, looking back at the rest of the buttons and gadgets.
"It truly is,” he replied to her. "I don't think I've ever seen anyone enjoy a limousine more than you."
She realized that she was behaving like a schoolgirl and she went to him and sat beside him, staring at the car in wonder as it zipped along through the streets. "I guess you must be used to it all by now,” she said with a smile.
"Oh, you know, I guess I must be, because I've never had more fun in one of these than I just did watching you enjoy it." He winked and grinned at her and then pulled her up onto his lap and looked hungrily at her face and her mouth.
"Do you realize that it's been two whole days since I saw you? Two days! I didn't know how I was going to cope!" He smiled a little and gazed at her mouth a bit more seriously.
"Kiss me,” he asked, and she leaned close to him and gave him a soft, sweet, sensual kiss that made his hands close tightly around her.
They were both breathless for a moment and then she asked him, "Where are we going?"
He had grown hungry during their kiss, and not for food. "We're going to dinner, but I think I want a little dessert t first." He spoke quietly as he slid his hand up her dress between her thighs, reaching until he found the core of her and then he overtook her mouth again as his fingers worked over her
