Ava picked up her phone after finally getting a break from going in and out the bathroom. She had clogged it three times and the time she tried to drink some water she almost shit on herself and all over the couch. She dialed Paige's number.
"I'm here. You don't have to call!" that's how Paige answered the phone.
"You're already here?" her voice was high and she sounded scared but it was just her stomach rumbling again. That meant that she was about to shit again.
Paige entered the house, "I know that you have low self esteem but you're not going out looking like that." She balanced herself on her hip, popping out her left curve.
Ava gave her a bored look and, then bit her lower lip hard because she felt the rumbling again.
"I can't go out anymore." She finally bent down and held her stomach.
"wh- what's happening?" Paige wanted to understand the situation.
"I'll be back!!" Ava screamed as she ran to the bathroom again.
Paige was going to run after her but she stood there and waited for her to come out. Ava came out and balanced herself on the doorframe of the bathroom. She was sweating and she looked weak.
"Do you know…" she took a breath, "nothing is coming out anymore." She commented shaking her head and then she looked back into the bathroom, "but it demands that I go anyway just to prove a point." She now took a deep breath.
"What's happening to you?" Paige asked her but she said nothing.
"Do you have food poisoning?" she just said the first thing that came to her mind.
"I have diarrhoea." She sounded mad.
"So we're not going out?" Paige asked and Ava shook her head fast and hard.
"Well, you owe me a date." Paige pointed at her while rolling her index finger around looking at her like she had a suspicion about her.
Ava sucked in her mouth and nodded.
"Call me when you get better." She winked at her and left.
Eric walked into his penthouse looking down at his phone swiping through Instagram and lowly laughing, "fuuck!" he suddenly jumped and screamed almost dropping his phone.
"ohh my Goddd!" Fritz screamed back at him, trying to balance his tea carefully so that it doesn't spill on him.
"Why are you screaming? This is my house!" he sounded offended and he was just a little.
"That's not why I'm screaming." Fritz shook his head in a tiny way with a subtle pout.
"Then why the fuck are you?"
"Your face." Fritz answered with a straight face, then passed by Eric walking to the couch.
He placed his tea on the table and turned to look back at Eric, "by the way why are you so amused?"
"Not you business." Eric dismissed his question.
Fritz stood up ad walked to Eric, "you want coffee?" he asked moving on from the topic. Eric nodded and Fritz started to make the coffee while Eric went back to his phone.
He giggled again, Fritz raised his eyes while looking down and gave him an intense stare before he got back to his task.
"Damn! I wish I could have seen her reaction!" Eric exclaimed with a lot of happiness.
"Who?" Fritz's tone was cold.
"Ava." Eric started blushing.
"What did you pull this time?" His tone was now a little relaxed but he rolled his eyes.
"I did my usual skit." He was talking about taunting Ava all day everyday. "Then I made her eat her heart out." Fritz looked extremely confused.
"and that means…?" he wanted an elaboration.
"I took her out for a second breakfast." Fritz stared at him intensely.
"We went to the breakfast diner across the school and then I made her eat a lot of food in front of a crowd." Fritz wanted to say something but he looked like he was violently holding it back.
"So she didn't say that she wanted the breakfast?" Eric nodded, "she also didn't want to eat in front of the crowd?" Eric nodded again.
"You think that's normal?" his expression was clearly showing how surprised he was that a human like Eric could exist.
"I just want to watch her eat. I never get that chance, I just wanted to see it." He sounded so passionate and helpless.
"Now that I saw it and I have it on my phone I can always look at it and masturbate." He now sounded like he had achieved the greatest goal of his life.
"You had you friends film the whole thing?" each time that Eric answered his questions he became even more shocked.
"Yeah. But don't worry!" he exclaimed banging the Island, "they are not allowed to post them anywhere." He proudly said like he was a hero. "Oh I also gave her some laxatives." He added with a smirk. Fritz was now speechless just shaking his head.
"why?" he finally found his voice to ask, and that was the only thing he could ask because this was just plain stupidity and he still has to keep up with more.
"She said that her and her best friend have plans." He didn't say a word further.
"and that's what pissed you off?" Fritz was now regretting asking everything from the beginning.
"yes!" He exclaimed. "They were definitely meeting men and then next thing you know she is in a relationship!" he sounded upset but Fritz kept quiet waiting for him to continue.
"I just made sure that she doesn't go." He added.
"why?" again Fritz kept it short and simple.
"what if those other man see what I see? Her beauty, her sexiness, her cuteness." His eyes were sparkling but then they immediately turned dark as he banged the Island again, "I can't have that!" his tone was laced with anger.
"I hope they do." Fritz mindlessly answered and finished making the coffee but then when he turned back he found Eric so close to him that their chests were almost touching.
"You know I can fire you right now?" Eric's eyes were cold even though they were exposed to the light and his voice had dropped.
"I'm sorry sir." Fritz immediately retracted his statement.
"Never say that shit again!" he didn't raise his voice but his tone was intense as he grabbed Fritz's cheeks very roughly from under his chin. He then changed his whole 'I got murder on my mind' demeanor and went back to being just relaxed.
He saw how serious fritz had become and then he stuck out his tongue and made believe that he was licking Fritz's lips and his tongue almost touched his lips but then Eric retracted his tongue. Without looking away from his eyes and still smirking devilishly at him, Eric put his palm on Fritz's shoulder and slid it down slowly to his wrist. He then continued to intertwine their fingers for five seconds and then he pulled away and grabbed his coffee.
"Thanks for the coffee." He took it from the counter and sent him a kiss.
After he turned around and walked away Fritz finally said, "I told you to stop doing that." He was talking about Eric's habit to make sexual advances at him.
"Don't make it gay bro." Eric teased him.
"You're my best friend and this habit is exclusive to you." He was speaking ambiguously. Fritz gave him an annoyed look.
A lot of people at school thought that Ken was Eric's best friend even Ken thinks it that way but the truth is that Eric's best friend is and will always be Fritz. But they never tell anybody that they are best friends because Fritz works for Eric. Fritz had a tough childhood and came this far because Eric really helped him a lot. When they got older Fritz decided that it was time he stood up for himself and help himself so he needed a job to that. He offered to be Eric's personal assistant because Eric could never keep. His temper was worse than his fathers.
Seeing people apply and fail to handle his best friend and the fact that he was out of luck and couldn't find a decent job, Fritz offered himself and then they became boss and assistant which is pretty cool for them. Their friendship grew even more closer and they never had a fight they could never resolve be it a work related one or a personal one.
"why don't you just tell Ava the truth?" Fritz got back on the topic.
"I want to break her first. Make every one of those foolish men think that every word I have ever said about her is true so that they don't see her true beauty. I want them to continue looking down at her and when I'm done I will be the only guy that compliments and treasures her." He made a whole speech and it was clear that he was envisioning it.
"Yeah. Because the day that you confess she is going to overlook everything you have done and leap into your arms?" Fritz asked sarcastically.
"This is reverse psychology my man." The confidence that this man had when saying that should really be studied.
"Your stupidity is worsening but I like it because it is going to work out perfectly for me." Fritz's tone had changed laced with confidence and sexiness. Eric said nothing and just sipped his coffee.
It wasn't the first time that Fritz called him an idiot and it wasn't going to be the last time.
"Are you going to the gym?" Fritz asked.
Eric put his coffee down and quickly swallowed the coffee in his mouth showing that he wanted to ask something urgently, "why do you always go even though you hate the gym?" just because Fritz went to the gym, it didn't mean that he loved it. He complains the whole time that they are there and with each set or exercise they pick he gets more annoyed and bitter.
"I'm training to carry something precious and expensive." He seemed like he was in love when he was saying that. Fritz was a very tall, very skinny guy but he didn't train to make his muscles big, he was just building his core and strengthening his body and muscles.
"You're weird." Eric had the bravery to say that to the poor Fritz.
"And you are precious." He spanked him and passed by him, "that behavior is exclusive to you!" he repeated his own words to him.
