Barca woke up to the blaring sound of her alarm. "Argh...this damn alarm." She pulled the cover cloth over her ear as she tried catching on some sleep.
"Knock, knock knock. Wake up sleepy head, you have to get to work ."
"Oh mom! " She groaned as she threw the cover cloth over her body jumping down to prepare for work.
Her family needed every single penny she and her brother could get to keep the family going. Her father is down with a sickness so has not have the capacity to work as he once did.
Her mother has always been supportive of her daughter and her son. She loves them as much as they love her. If she had her way, she wouldn't want her children to be involved in such work but they had to survive and pay for their fathers hospital bill. Barca sat in front of the mirror as she packed her hair up in a ponytail.
"Sigh...I need to rest. Oh my gosh! Dark circles under my eyes?" She nearly shouted as she took a foam rubbing it under her eyes. She opened her wardrobe, her hand in her jaw as she reasoned what to wear. She picked out a gown and hurriedly put it on aware of the time. Glancing once more at the mirror, she stepped out to the living room.
"Come have breakfast Barca." Mrs George beckoned to her daughter.
"Mom, you know I can't eat right now. I'm late for work already, maybe I should just take it along. After my duties I'd eat it."
"Alright child. You need to eat to work. Braine, go dish your sister's food into the flask."
Barca took her packed breakfast and rushed out of the room waving to her family. She stood at the junction of her street cursing softly as no cab was waiting. She gasped softly when a fast moving car splashed water on her clothes.
"What the f**k!" A cab stopped beside her and without wasting time, she entered the car.
"Gentleman, kindly follow that blue car." She said calmly, forgetting that she was late for work.
She kept her eyes on the car she was following as she urged the driver on. The blue car she was following stopped in front of a very boutique with the color blue as well.
"Just wow! Thank you Sir." Barca said as she alighted from the car ready to pounce on whoever splashed water on her.
"Hey! Hey!! Hey!!!" She yelled hotly at the guy who stepped down from the blue car. Skiddy looked back to see an angry looking lady glaring at him.
"Me??"
"Who else but you young man. Who else?"
"Tsk...I know I'm too handsome but you did not have to follow me all the way here to confess your love to me." Skiddy said proudly.
"You must be dumb and stupid to think I followed you here to confess my feelings. I don't confess my love to ugly looking men like you. It seems you were blind when you drove your car past me and splashed water on my dress."
"Oh my bad. But you don't have to insult me, pretty lady. I didn't see you ."
"f**k you man."
"f**k you too pretty lady. Why don't you follow me inside, let's get your clothes changed."
Barca wanted to reject it but she agreed when she saw that her clothes weren't looking presentable. She opened her mouth in amazement as she savored the sight before her.
"Scoffs...the no nonsense hot lady is amazed. I think this is her first time seeing something like this."
"Shut the f**k up young man. I need to get to work."
Barca scoffed at the ladies who were staring lustfully at Skiddy.
"He's not even handsome." She muttered.
"I heard that yuuno."
"Pick one of these dresses in return for the one I splashed water on."
"Not grateful." Without wasting time, she picked one of the less expensive ones and wore it rushing out of the boutique.
"I don't even know your name, young lady." Skiddy yelled after her.
"You don't need to. We won't be meeting again." She yelled back.
She stopped down a can as she rushed indie heading to her work place.

Carolyn flirted with her eyes open as she closed it immediately back. The reflection of the sun was coming through the curtain. She opened her eyes back and for a few seconds she tried remembering where she was. The memory of last night came flooding her thoughts. She stood up abruptly and held her head in regret. She started crying. Her father will be so disappointed in her.
She lost her virginity to someone she doesn't know. She cried bitterly and didn't even know how to tell her dad. Even with everything, she has to leave the hotel room to her house. She stood up from the bed with difficulty and kept on cursing Leonardo. She refreshed and stylishly escaped the bar from the sight of her best friend and her boss. She called her driver whom she never called before since she likes to be on her own. But this time she needed to get home as fast as possible. The driver arrived early to her joy.
She got home to meet the rest of the family having breakfast.
"My daughter, come here. Are you fine? You did not come home last night, where were you?" Her worried father stood up as he bombarded her with questions.
"Dad!" She ran into her father's hands as she tried her best not to cry.
"Carolyn, you're burning. What is it? Someone should get me a nurse. Come and sit my love."
The nurse came to check on Carolyn and reported that she has fever.
"Where were you last night Carolyn?" Her mother asked, pretending to be nice.
"The b***h was out f*****g all the men." Linda eyed Carolyn with disgust.
"Will you shut up or I will send both of you out of this place. Your daughter and sister are looking so sick. Instead of you being concerned, you're saying shit.". Mr Wilson interrupted angrily.
Mr Wilson helped Carolyn to her room as he helped her to the bed.
"Dad..."
"... Carolyn, rest for now. When you wake up, we will talk." Mr Wilson interrupted, kindly dismissing her.
