Victoria had three exams that week and a paper due that Friday. No one saw or heard for her the entire time. She had an A in every class and intended to keep it that way.
Brian's figure drawing class had come to an end. He spent thirteen hours a day at the office that week—ten hours of each day were devoted to company business, but early in the morning, during lunch, and after hours, he would get out his laptop, open up the sexy nude picture of Jillian and sketch her in charcoal with his door securely locked. God, she looked good, and his drawing skills were getting better and better. He had completed four sketches, but he wasn't happy with any of them. However the one he was working on currently was nearly finished, and it was perfect.
At Wealth Stone Investments, Carl Rodgers summoned Rob to his office. When he entered, Carl shook his hand, smiled, and handed over an envelope. Rob opened it up to discover a check for twenty thousand dollars.
"What's this?" Rob asked.
"I've been tracking your sales. You are really killing it out there. It's just a little extra bonus. Keep it up."
"I don't know what to say."
"Don't say anything—just keep selling."
"If there's anything else you need, just let me know. Do you have your eye on any of the girls over at the complex?"
Rob scoffed. "I have my eye on all of them."
Carl chuckled, "Well sure, but I have a little influence with them, so if there's one in particular that you like, I could put in a good word for you."
"I think Kara is beautiful."
Carl looked past him out the window caught up in some creepy daydream as he said, "Oh yeah, Kara, she's a real firecracker that one. Um…"
Rob narrowed his eyes until Carl glanced back at him.
"I'll see if she's still dating that guy of hers." Carl winked at him, and Rob didn’t know what to make of it. "And if there's anything else you need, let me know."
Rob began, "My best friend is getting married soon, and I was thinking of having the bachelor party for him around the pool on October first. Would that be okay? Is there some way to reserve it or—"
"How many guys?" Carl interrupted, breaking into a huge smile.
"Just six or seven."
"Do you want some strippers?"
"Uh, yeah. We'd love some."
"Are the guys, um, offended easily?" Carl asked with a hesitant smile.
"No, absolutely not," Rob replied confidently.
"Good." Carl nodded and added, "Let me arrange everything for you. We, uh, have some special facilities over there, which you probably aren’t aware of. Plus the girls know some other girls if you know what I mean."
Rob asked, "Are you sure it isn't too much trouble?"
"I insist—but only if I get to come."
"Definitely."
"Just leave everything to me. Let me make a few calls, and then I’ll get back to you with the details."
"I appreciate it," Rob said as they shook hands. Rob headed out the door and took another peek at his big check.
As soon as he returned to his desk, Rob called Jim to give him the good news. Jim was lost when it came to planning the bachelor party. Problem solved, big time.
That night Rob fell asleep while contemplating a possible new-car purchase. At just after 1:00 A.M. there was a knock on his door. His eyes opened, and he drifted back to sleep until a louder bang brought him fully awake. He sighed and headed to the door wearing only boxer shorts. He opened the door to discover Kara standing there wearing a short pink raincoat.
"Hey, what, uh…" was all he could muster before she opened her coat and showed him that she wore nothing underneath. She took a step toward the door, and he moved back then watched as she walked toward the living room. He closed the door and turned just in time to see Kara drop the coat and head naked into the bedroom.
When he reached the bedroom, he found her standing there wearing a sexy look. She asked, "Do you have a condom?"
He nodded and pointed to his night table. She opened the drawer, searched for a moment, and then pulled one out. Kara looked at him waiting.
"So did you break up with your boyfriend or…"
She shook her head slowly— first no then yes. Then she moved to him, grabbed hold of his boxers with one hand, and guided him to the bed. She pushed him back and he fell onto the mattress. He watched breathlessly as she tossed the condom down grabbed his boxer shorts and pulled them off. She quickly slipped the condom over him and twenty seconds later she was riding him with more conviction than passion.
When it was over, Kara slipped down to kiss him on the cheek then slowly lifted off of him. He stared at her gratefully while also feeling a little used.
"Congratulations on your bonus," she said with a slight smile.
"Uh, thanks."
"You want to stay or…"
"I've got to go to work early, but thanks."
"Okay, should I—"
"Bye," she interrupted.
He watched her ass as she headed out to the living room.
The next day at work, Rob headed to Gary's office. He found him there, closed the door, and sat across from him just staring at him with a concerned look.
"What is it?" Gary asked.
"Oh nothing."
"Congratulations on the bonus."
Rob nodded dismissively. "Do you date any of the girls at the apartment building?"
"Date?" Gary asked nearly breaking into a laugh. "No, I don't date them."
"Have you had sex with any of them?"
"Sure, everyone has."
Rob looked at him confused and began, "You see Kara and I—"
Gary broke into a big smile, "You do realize they’re all prostitutes don't you? Well some are strippers or wanna be porn stars, but—"
"Prostitutes?"
"You didn’t really think all those superhot girls were average normal girls who just happened to live in the same building did you?"
"What? No."
Gary shook his head. "Look, they're only a little reward here and there. Don't get so caught up in all that. Just be sure you wear a condom."
Rob nodded and then Gary's eyes widened as he asked, "Dude, don't tell me you went down on one of them."
"Oh, no…I, uh…"
"Good. Speaking of eating. Hey, what are you doing for lunch?"
The next day was September twenty-fourth, which meant the wedding was only two weeks away. Jillian, Victoria, and the other two bridesmaids, Lisa and Brenda, decided to have lunch together and head off to the dress shop afterward to pickup their gowns. Jillian's wedding dress was a silk satin strapless tea-length dress—very chic and modern. While the bridesmaids dresses were a light peach color and tasteful for bridesmaids dresses, with a ruffled area around the waist, which the heavyset Brenda appreciated, but was originally intended to provide the pregnancy-shielding coverage that Victoria needed.
Although the wait had seemed like an eternity to Victoria, September twenty-sixth, the first day that she could give blood for the paternity test, arrived two days later. She was the first one in line at the lab.
