Chapter 1, Late again
I jolted awake. It's already 8am. I'm late for work…and for Dad. My door is suddenly busted open. I quickly stand up. I wince heavily. I'm in so much pain from his other beatings. He mostly hits my back with a belt or his fists. But there's a lot more.
I freeze. “You little bitch!” He slaps me so hard I fall to the floor. My head hits my dresser hard and immediately starts bleeding. I gasp. “Where's my breakfast?! Why didn't you wake me up!? I'm late for work!”
He roughly grabs me by the collar and picks me up. I push against his chest. “So am I! Now put me down!” He glares. I shouldn't have said that. He always makes sure I have no ‘backbone.’ He throws me hard against the wall. I cry out.
“Dad…please. No. I-i-im sorry.” He smirks evilly. “Now you're sorry huh? You little bitch. How dare you talk back to me.” He kicks me hard on my side. *Crack” I scream in pain and curl up, clutching my stomach.
He laughs. “You'll get your punishment when I get back. When I do get back, your ass better be home and I'd better have my dinner, understand?” I nod.
He grabs and chunk of my hair and tanks my head back. I whimper. He slaps me hard again. “I said…do you understand?!” He tugs on my hair. “Yes!” I yell.
He finally releases me and leaves. I hear his car in the distance as he drives away. I sigh in relief. God. My whole body hurts. I hope this broken rib doesn't do too much. I need to go to work.
My boss is super strict. This isn't the first time I've been late either… I grab my apron and head to work. I work at a motel. I clean rooms mostly, I'm just a maid. However, I'm never allowed on the 4th floor. There are dangerous men up there apparently.
I don't believe in any of the ‘bad boy, Mafia hocus pocus then fall in love shit.” But I'm also super scared of asking. So I just stay quiet and obey. None of the maids are allowed to talk to each other.
Only the head maid. Even then, she's pretty scared to talk herself. My ribs are in so much pain. I grab some pain killers from my purse. I'm almost out. I take one. That'll at least dull the pain some. I don't have enough money for more right now.
I drive to work. My car is super dirty and dusty. The AC and heater are both out, I haven't had an oil change in over a year. Yikes, I know. Surprised this girl is still going. I've had her since I was 16. It's been 3 years now. (19)
As soon as I get to work I run to the bathroom and put my apron on. I then rush to go grab the cart of cleaning supplies I have to push around. It is heavy. Carrying around bottles full of liquids and then wipes as well as a big trash can.
Its a lot for someone like me who's always weak and sore anyway. I start to head to the elevator. I got assigned floor 3 today. My boss stops me. “Miss Rose? Late, again?” I immediately look down. Never make eye contact with this man. Just like Dad.
I wonder if all men are like this. It makes them really scary. I nod. “Yes sir. I-i-im sorry.” He holds his hand up, immediately silencing me. “My office. Now.” I quickly nod and follow him to his office.
“Close the door.” I freeze for a second. I hate closing the door…especially when I'm alone with men. “Don't just stand there! Close the door I said!” I quickly shut the door. My hands tremble. I clutch them together tightly to keep him from noticing.
“Mr. Kitzler…i-i-i.” “its Sir to you, now shut up and sit down.” I gulp and quickly sit down. I fiddle with my hands. I keep my head down. “This is the 5th time you've been late this month, Rose. Explain.” “i-i-i…slept in late sir.”
He scoffs. He leans forward. I flinch. He suddenly stands up and walks behind me. My body stiffens. “Rose…didn't you tell me you were desperate for this job.” I nod. “Y-yes Sir.”
His hands come on my shoulders. He suddenly squeezes really hard. It feels like my collarbones are being squashed. I gasp and cry out. “Sir…” I whimper. He leans down and whispers in my ear, “desperate women wouldn't be sleeping alone…they'd be sleeping with a man Rose.”
He squeezes harder. I whimper loudly and try to get away. Of course, it doesn't work. He kisses down my neck making me shiver. “You told me you were desperate. Showing up late shows me the opposite. If you wanna keep this job Rose…and your innocence…you'd better not be late again this, understand?”
I quickly nod. He lets go. I sigh in relief and rub my shoulders. What did he mean by innocence? I don't wanna find out. This guy is so scary. “Get out and get to work.” I quickly stand up and run out. Tears stream down my face. I quickly wipe them away.
I go to my cart and into the elevator. I go to floor 3. I have to clean 8 rooms on this floor today thankfully, there's a total of 18. I did 10 yesterday knowing I'd choose to be late today anyways. Yeah, I guess today it was my actual choice to be late.
Dad's beatings never help though. It takes me about 1 hour to clean the room slightly, spotless is 2 hours. I always do the 3 floor spotless because the richer people are up here. Working class is 2nd, which I do half and half.
The 1st floor the maids never really try on since it's for the poorer people. I still feel bad so I clean it like the 2nd floor at least. I start cleaning the rooms. I clean them spotless. 8 rooms. Geeze. Its a lot. The last 2 I rush, so I get at least 12 hours in. It's 11 by the time I'm done. I sigh in relief.
Just as I'm about to leave the last room, a big tall muscular man walks in. He has black hair and bright blue eyes. I feel like you could see the ocean in those eyes. He glares at me and suddenly shoves me against the wall, pinning me to it.
I gasp in pain. My ribs scream. I freeze. He suddenly starts checking my pockets. Thankfully he doesn't remove any of my clothes or look into my bra. “Making sure you didn't steal anything like that last bitch. Did you?” I quickly shake my head. I keep my head down.
“N-n-no sir. I promise. I didn't.” He suddenly lifts my chin. I gulp and look up at him. His eyes are hypnotizing. He stares right back at me. He suddenly shoved me back outside. I hit the wall. It's better than the floor. He then closes his door. Meanie.
What was that all about? I quickly go back down to the first floor and clean up. They have showers here for the maids. Thankfully. I'm unable to take one at home because of Dad.
I take a really quick shower. I then run outside to my car and rush home. I hope I can go straight to sleep. Oh yeah, I forgot. I need to make Dad's dinner. I sigh. Maybe then I can sleep.
