"I never even slept with a guy before..." I confessed,
interrupting her in turn, speaking barely above a whisper. "But how do
I prove that, huh? I can't...go back. I have no money, nowhere to
go..."
She put her hand on my shoulder and squeezed softly when I started to
sniffle. God, I hate crying but I just...you know?
"Shhh, it'll be okay. Michael, can't we help him? He needs a place to
stay and some money. Do you wanna throw him out on his ear for making a
mistake? All he needs is a chance..."
I avoided looking at Mr. Black, and wiped my eyes.
"Alright," he answered after a minute of silence. "Carly, leave us alone
for a while. I'd like to talk to JJ in private. I might be able to
help."
She thanked him and squeezed my shoulder one more time. I looked up and
sent her a silent thank you of my own.
"Oh, and Carly? Find out who this guest is, and throw him out. I don't
want to see his face here, ever again."
She promised to take care of it and left, leaving me alone again with
him.
