Courtney in for a hug. “Or, at least as much as I possibly could know. Now,” she let her friend go and sat cross-legged on Courtney's sleeping bag. “Tell me about last night. Is he as good as he looks?”
“I wouldn't know,” Courtney replied, sitting across from her friend. “But he's definitely nicer than he lets on.” She told Janet about saving Cindy last night and their long talk that ended up with Courtney falling asleep in the chair. Janet's eyes widened.
“You've never told anyone about your past,” she said. “At least, anyone after...”
“Gary,” Courtney finished. “I know. It was so weird! He was actually interested in it and he had opened up to me a little, the least I could do was open up to him.”
“But you still didn't tell him about that night, did you?”
“Of course not,” she said. “And I never will. There's a reason why you're the only one who knows.”
“That's because I'm the one who found you,” she said quietly. “Otherwise not even I would know.”
“Exactly.” Courtney shivered at the thought of that night. It was the worst night of her life and the reason why she had that stupid tattoo on her hand. “Anyway, he was incredibly nice and gentlemanly. He even lent me a shirt so I wouldn't be in underwear for the entire night.”
“How have you not slept with him yet?” Janet asked. “He sounds like he would be good in bed.”
Courtney giggled and blushed at the thought of being in bed with Nikolay. She hadn't even seen him shirtless, but she already knew he would be gorgeous in a brown sack or el flagrante. She shook her head to clear the alluring images out of her head. “We're not in college, Jan.” We can't just sleep with every guy we meet.”
“You never slept with every guy you met,” Janet replied. “Just two guys, right? As for me, I will sleep with whomever I damn well want, even if we've known each other for seconds. As long as he’s hot.” She flipped her hair over her shoulder and grinned. The two of them ended up talking and laughing well into the day and Courtney felt her spirits continue to lift. She tried not to look at the paper stuck to her wall.
$800.
The figure seemed to appear larger with each passing day.
Chapter Fifteen
Courtney came into Nik's office just before her shift started. He smiled at her, struggling to keep his eyes on her face and not on her tantalizing body. Her face is tantalizing enough. “What can I do for you?” he asked.
“I was wondering if I could drop my fifteen minutes break,” Courtney said. “Now that I'm staying hydrated and rested, there's no chance of me fainting again.”
“Out of the question. The only reason why you are staying rested and hydrated is because of that break. You are exhausted enough as it is.”
“Then is there any chance I can pick up more shifts during the week?” Courtney asked.
Nikolay frowned and for a second, all thoughts of lust vanished. “Courtney, is everything all right? Do you need money?”
She flushed. “No,” she said quickly. “I just thought I'd ask, you know? I can get bored sometimes, and work is something to do.”
Nikolay frowned. He knew she was lying. He didn't know how, but he just knew it, and he hated it. “I'm afraid all of the shifts are completely filled,” he said. “But maybe next week we can work something out.”
Courtney nodded. “Thank you,” she said and turned to leave.
“Courtney?” he said.
She turned back, “Yes?”
“Please don't lie to me again.”
She swallowed and nodded. “I'm sorry,” she said, and then left.
Well, it was worth a try. She had started to give up hope at medical school, but with the prospect of half off, maybe she could get enough money for the tattoo removal deal. She went out and grabbed a drink tray to collect the empty glasses at abandoned tables. She still had time. If she could sell some more books to raise the money, as well as searched the web for other quick moneymaking
