“When should I pick up my things?” she asked, cutting to the chase, something Roger once loved about the woman, but now couldn’t stand.

“Whenever your busy schedule allows it, I guess,” he answered. “I don’t really give a fuck.”

“Fine,” she snapped coldly. “I’ll mail your shit back to you. You can do the same. I’m too busy to deal with your ass anyway.”

“Sounds perfect,” he sneered. “Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a hot blonde to fuck.”

“You are disgusting. I can’t believe I ever dated you,” she sneered as she noticed a tall figure walking down the hall. Roger laughed on the other end and said,
“The sex was damn good though.”

“Only because you practiced on other girls while we dated,” she hissed as the tall figure came closer and she saw the dark shaggy mane of Alex, his bright blue eyes staring at her as he talked to his girlfriend on the phone.

“Sex is sex,” he replied. Elle could just imagine his shrug on the other end.
“Ugh, I’ll text you the address. I’m tired of talking to you,” Elle sneered before giving him the chance to say something else. She slammed her phone shut and walked past Alex who had been looking at her with narrowed eyes as their paths crossed.

It took a week and a half for Elle to get used to her new routine. Her days off were half spent working on homework and the other half was spent relaxing and catching up on sleep and some light reading. She spent her entire Wednesday in class while the rest of her week was spent working as a maid and concentrating on her schoolwork. Her work, in Elle’s opinion, wasn’t as hard as she had thought. There was a lot of cleaning involved rather than manual labor. When she worked by herself she listened to her iPod to keep her mind distracted. She kept it at a low volume in case someone came up to her. She also met a few more people who worked in the large house. Mr. Jenkins took care of the garden and lawn, making sure it was in perfect condition. He had also been working part time to pay for college, but working for the O’Connor’s was only one of his jobs. The two chiefs loved to have Elle around in the kitchen. She was very useful when it came to tasting their new food inventions.
