Rummaging through her closet, Mariyah was trying to figure out what to wear for the meeting.She chose nice straight grey pants that had cost her a fortune but she purchased it for this exact reason matched it with a white shirt that buttoned up revealing a little cleavage.That should do, along with black heels, tying her in a low bun to the side.Looking at her reflection Mariyah applied makeup, she had to, it was for work, she applied some eyeliner and mascara along with some gloss.She admitted she didn't look half bad.

Looking very professional Mariyah made her way to the prison she had come to despise so much.When Zak entered the room her heart started pounding.Zak raised an eyebrow obviously not expecting to see her dressed up.Come to think of it, this was also the first time he had seen her with makeup on.Feeling her face heat up at his inspection of her Mariyah started to fidget."What the fuck you dressed up for?"He asked tilting his sexy head.She swallowed back her fear, so he was talking today...

"I have a work thing that I can't get out of.I'm going to be late because I'm here, I wouldn't have time to get ready after our… After this."

"You’re a fucking waitress at a fish n chips shop, what meeting could you possibly have?"Oh fuck she forget she hadn't mentioned she was a school teacher.She drew in a breath, who fucking cared anyway, was not his business.

"I'm also a school teacher, it's our mid year meeting, I have to go otherwise I'll get fired and if I get fired I can't pay my rent.I'm already on probation at work, I'm afraid that this might be the thing to get me fired."She nodded her head to assure him she was telling him the truth.He smiled as he took a seat.Boy he was sexy…

"So you deliberately didn't mention to me that you are a teacher, was there a reason for the manipulation?"

"I didn't manipulate you, I do work in a fish and chip shop, on the weekends and at night.I have two jobs, I need the money."

"If I ask you something, I don't like being lied to or have information held back."Why was this even an issue with him?

"Listen Zak, I didn't think it was important, I don't understand why you even care."Zak banged the table really hard forcing her to jump from fright.

"When I fucking ask you a question I expect the fucking truth!I don't have time for people who piss me off.When I asked you where you worked, how should you have answered?"

"I shouldn't have held back...I'm sorry, it won't happen again."Really starting to panic Mariyah was trying very hard to amend her stupid mistake.

"Listen carefully Mariyah, I think you have a beautiful face, your eyes are spectacular, you have these adorable freckles on your face, it would be a shame if I decided to rearrange such a beautiful work of art...Wouldn't you agree?"Mariyah dumbly nodded her head.

"I'm sorry..."Thankfully he nodded his head, he seemed to accept her apology.

"Now what to do with you?You look way to professional for me to disrupt your appearance.What can we do to pass the time?"

"I don't understand?I thought you wanted to ..."She couldn't bring herself to say 'have sex’.

"You think too much.Let's talk."Mariyah once again was confused by his behavior.

"Do you sleep with other woman, here in this room?"The words came out of her mouth before she could stop them.Why did she care anyway?

"Would it bother you if I did?"She shrugged her shoulders.

"I'm not sure, it would bother me because you keep telling me I need to be here every Saturday but if you’re getting what you need by others I don't understand why you need me to keep returning.So yes, I guess it would bother me."To her absolute surprise he laughed.She didn't understand the first thing about his sense of humor.

"Let's say I'm fucking other girls in here, maybe I need more than a few fucks a week and I like to keep altering between girls."

"Fair enough but if I keep coming to see you and you don't want to do anything with me, I don't understand the point.It seems too much trouble for you just to hang out with me."

"Mariyah, if I tell you to stop coming to see me, would that make you happy?"Mariyah had no clue how to answer that one.She was a little afraid to piss him off.She could still feel the sting of his slap.

"I don't know how to answer that."She looked down.

"Answer me truthfully, you won't get into trouble for your honesty."

"I was honest with you last week when you struck me."What the hell Mariyah, shut up

"I struck you because you chose something else over me, I don't work that way, in your world for now I come first, best you come to terms with that.Now answer the question."

"I think I will be very confused, maybe if you gave me a reason why you didn't want to see me anymore.I would probably not be too happy because I'll forever be worrying about Caleb and you hurting him.That's the truth."Mariyah bit her lip.

"Let's say I promise you I'll not let any harm come to Caleb, would that make you happy?If I said to you that I had other women coming here to do as I want...And that I no longer needed you, tell me would that make you happy?"

"Zak, I want you to let me go, there is no doubt in my mind that I would be better off away from you and this place altogether.But, I don't know how exactly I would feel about it, I can honestly say to that I'm so confused about everything with you that nothing in this world is making sense to me anymore.I would however ask you that if you are seeing other women and engaging in sexual activities that you please release me from our pact.I don't like the idea of sharing partners."Zak laughed again.

"So you’re telling me that you’re not fucking anybody else because I fucked you a few times?That sounds very odd."Suddenly feeling hurt by his insensitivity Mariyah lashed out but in a calm manner.
