I took the longest and hottest possible shower I could to wash away those vile feelings that Sujk caused to me in his bathroom. I sat down on the tub and allowed the water to just run down my back, I closed my eyes and took a breath, trying to recollect myself. Why do I allow myself to secretly enjoy the affects he did to me, why do I bother still staying here at this mansion when i could simple just quit? I didn't care if I didn't have my car to drive home. I could just take a bus right? Simple right? Just leave this godforsaken place right? But...But I'm becoming addicted to his sexual advances, I...I kind of want it to keep happening. I shook my head at my idiotic thoughts and just let out a heavy sigh. What the hell is going on with me? It's not like I'm starting to...love this creep! Maybe once my first check come and it's not adequate enough to my liking I can leave because of that reason. Yeah... I'll do that.

Around noon I had finished fixing up the guest rooms and had a laundry basket filled with dirty sheets to be sent to the laundry room. As I walked down the hall Aoi, Sujk's assistant stopped me to give me an envelope.

"Here's your weekly paycheck," she told me, "Forgive me for being late,"

I took the paper and thanked her; I guess I'll have my answer sooner than i thought.

||Sujk||

Leda and I were chilling in my den area watching the music station on the big screen and drinking Sake, I was reclined on the couch while Leda sat further down from me. I usually didn't care for hanging out with one of the guys but it felt nice to spend time with old bandmates.

"Dude, I've been wondering, how long are you going to harass this poor woman into being a sexual housemaid slave?" Leda asked.

I just laughed with a grin, "I'm not that bad towards her, and can't a man have a lil fun? Besides once she sees how much I'm paying here she won't be going anywhere…"

Leda shook his head, "it's just wrong man, you are sexually assaulting this woman don't you realize?"

"I'm well aware of my actions Leda, if she really wanted to; sure she can call the police on me and sue me if she really wanted too." I explained, "But, has she done any of that? No. I have her wrapped around my little finger,"

Leda just stared at me then said, "you are terrible sometimes you know that,"

I took another sip of my drink and gave out a laugh, "I can show terrible if I REALLY wanted to,"

"I'm not even going to ask…"

I grinned to myself, thinking of my last encounter with Jasmine, I know she'll never believe that our encounter was actually purely incidental, and that fate was just on my side this time. I continued to smile to myself as I continued drinking and watching TV. Things are just going to become more interesting in the end.

It was late afternoon and I was finally finished with my duties for the day and I can finally unveil what all this torture is worth. I took the envelope and carefully tore it open; I have one last final breath before I can see what the amount was. My eyes got wide at the site of the check amount. I almost could not believe it. 3,000 dollars?! I closely inspected the check to see if it was fake. But it was completely real. Why is Sujk paying me this much? Not that I'm trying to complain that is. I quickly got up to leave and take a bus to the nearest back as quick as possible.

That weekend was my off weekend and I decided to visit Sujk in his office to get further explanation of the unusually large paycheck, I knocked on the door and herd him say come in. Sujk looked up from his computer and gave his signature grin. "Well, nice of you to visit me"

Ignoring his comment I just went ahead and asked him why he is paying me so much every week for a simple cleaning job. Sujk just gave a laugh at my question.

"Well I sure wasn't expecting that, are you…insisting that I should pay you less?"

"N-No, it's just I'm confused…"

He shrugged, "Why not, it about the same I pay everyone else here honestly,"

I paused for a moment then said, "Well… thank you, I actually appreciate it,"

"heh ok, it's just three grand, big whoop,"

I raised an eyebrow in confusion, JUST three grand?! "Whatever, and there was…something else I wanted to talk to you about."

"What,"

"About…that last event of ours," I tried to think my sentence out carefully, "if you're going to keep that shit up, at least... Get to know me better or something. I'm not just some walking pussy for you." I was expecting some smart ass remark from him but to my surprise he simple said ok. He agreed that he'll try not to harass me as much and get to know me as a person. I still had doubt in him since I can't put anything past him.

"In fact, how about we do something this weekend, you and me,"

I narrowed my eyebrows, "no funny business?" I asked sternly.

"I…suppose not, let's just say I won't make anything obvious how about that," he said with a wink.

I groaned, "Fine,"

He flicked another grin at me, "Perfect, a 'date' it is then"

I was actually feeling a little excited for my little quote on quote "date" with Sujk, It was Saturday night and he decided to take me to a music festival in Tokyo where a lot of new and older rock bands were playing tonight. I was in my room finishing up the last pieces of my outfit; since the venue style was Visual Kei i figured i dress the part as well. Sujk gave a knock on my door before stepping in, I had to admit he was looking very attractive in his outfit, and he pulled off eyeliner extremely well.

"You ready?" he asked coolly.

I fixed my hair up a little bit making sure no strands were sticking out, "Now I am,"

We left the huge manor and he escorted me to his jet black sports car, "Should I open the door for you as well, to prove myself?" he joked.

"No, I think I can handle it myself," I said with a small laugh.

As we rode down the city of downtown Tokyo, I looked out the window at the colorful lights of the tall buildings, the city defiantly became alive once nightfall hits and that's what I loved about it. At the venue there were a lot of people and other cars parked. "Wow I was not expecting this many people," I said once we got out the car.

"It's a J-rock music festival with popular bands, what did you expect?" Sujk said.

I grinned sheepishly, "I have no clue, but let's go look around!"

The Main stage was located in the center outside with a large field for people take their spots, out along the sides of the event area were various food trucks and kiosk of various band merchandise.

"Hey lets go see what's all here down the little strip," I suggested to Sujk.

He shrugged and followed me as I went to see what all was here; I saw many new band shirts of group I never heard of.

"Man I feel like I've been out of the J-Rock industry to long, so many new faces," I said in awe as I looked at one of the shirts on sale.

"Heh, how do you think I feel? Since our group disbanded I'm been out of the loop for a long time," Sujk commented.

After looking around we finally decided to head towards the main even were a metal band was currently playing, even though he had to sit in the way back in the grassy area we could still hear the band clearly.

"They sound pretty good," I said.

"pfft, I've herd better," Sujk scoffed.

I rolled my eyes, "Why are you so rude,"

"Not rude, just honest," he retorted back.

I hit him on his scrawny arm, "just be nice for once,"

He grinned and ran a hand through my hair, "You know I still love it when you get feisty with me,"

I blushed slightly and slapped his hand away from me, "Just…behave for once ok. Don't embarrass me in public,"

"Heh Heh, okay master," he said mockingly while placing an arm around my waist. I'll admit I did like it.

I continued to sit there while listing to the music echo through the night air until I felt a ticking sensation on my neck which was from Sujk nuzzling on my neck, My face burned instantly, "w-what are you doing?"

"Just feeling playful," he purred.

"I don't want people watching us..."I whispered.

"Just relax, no one's paying any attention to us," he said before he continued to softly bite on my neck. I'll admit even though it tickled a bit I actually enjoyed it. And I allowed myself to allow him to kiss on my neck. Because I may just like this guy after all…

Sujk pulled back with a confused look, "You're not…fighting back?"

I gave a sheepish smile and admitted that I actually didn't mind it this time.

"Huh, is that so? Hmm not even if I do…this," he crashed his lips with mine and began kissing me with tongue while having both his hand on my head having dominance over me. To his surprise I welcomed his kisses with no problem which made him stop and pull back again with another puzzled look, "Still?"

I shrugged, "I'll admit, I….I enjoy what you do to me…and I can't hide the fact anymore that I like it."

He made a face as if he was slightly disappointed… "huh…Is that right,"

An awkward silence came between us, even though we were in a loud environment I could still hear the silence that was made. I instantly regretted what I told him because I now felt like a suck up, but I didn't let that try to ruin my night at this music festival.

As the concert continued on the last band for the night came to the stage to play the final song for the night, I got excited when I realized it was one of my favorite bands. I was surprised they were still together after all these years. I got up and shouted along with the crowed. I looked down and Sujk was still sitting on the grass with a bored look on his face. "Dude, quit being a grump!" I yelled out as a pulled him up to his face.

"Ugh, fine fine, I'll just stand here, that's it,"

We got back to the house around 2AM; the only thing that broke the awkward silence during the ride home was the radio. Sujk was acting very strange all of a sudden and I couldn't understand why. I decided to speak up once we got to the door, "Well, tonight was fun, I'm glad we spent a night out together,"

"Uh yeah same here, "he said without looking at me, "well, I'm pretty tired so I'm off to bed, you uh…get some rest or whatever,"

I stood there in the middle of the main foyer with a confused look, I know he can be an ass sometimes but…this was not the usual behavior I'm used to seeing from him. I finally walked to my bedroom still trying to figure things out.

I decided to call Katt to get a second opinion. "Is it bad that I may be growing…I don't know feelings for him?"

"I suppose not, but you got to remember how you met this guy and how he treated you once ya'll met, I may have been drunk that night but I could tell he looks like the player type…"

Katt had a point and she was right, Sujk probably doesn't even have the capacity to even love someone let alone have a relationship.

"But I must admit, I'm a sucker for rich men soo I can see why you like him," Katt laughed.

"Girl, this is not for his money, as much as I DO love the paychecks I'm earning I can care less about his pockets,"

"Yeah, yeah, but I'm sure you care about what under them pants pockets!"

I laughed and rolled my eyes at her immature comment, "Katt, go to bed I'm done with you tonight,"

Monday morning I was up and dressed to finish the duties I needed to do today, I had to clean and reorganize the guest rooms again this week. I stepped out into the hall and saw that Sujk's office was empty; I wanted to run into him to ask him what his deal was this past weekend. I just sighed and went down the long hallway, as I started towards the guest rooms I couldn't help but notice a large white door that looked like it belonged to a master bedroom. Curiosity got the best of me and I decided to take a peek inside. The room was expectantly huge with a king size bed facing a huge flat screen, I looked around to see if anything was out of the ordinary but didn't find anything, everything was so neatly placed you would of thought no one ever slept here.

Suddenly I herd footsteps coming close to the room which quickly caused me to become nervous. 'Shit!' I quickly ran into the nearest closet praying that no one will see me. I could hear the door open and the sound of Sujk's voice.

Hopefully he'll just grab something and leave, I thought to myself. I remained calm and quiet until I herd another voice speak.

"Oh my, what an amazing bedroom you have," said the feminine voice.

I let out a quiet gasp and felt my heart drop; did he bring another woman to his bedroom? I slid down against the closet wall in defeat, Katt was right. He was nothing but a player.

"mmm yes but your body is twice as amazing," I could hear Sujk say.

My heart started to race, I didn't want to believe what I was hearing behind this wall, and I suddenly didn't want to be here anymore.
