Negotiating Or Begging?
"S-s-sharing a room with you? Are you serious?" I asked with a red face and a twitching nose, I could feel a stream of blood coming out of my nostrils.
The man looked at me confused, his gaze seemed to say that I looked like a disgusting pervert.
"Damn! I can't control my thoughts! Oh my God, why am I having dirty thoughts?" I thought. Really, this is one of the reasons why I hate myself who is easily lulled by handsome men.
"Are you okay?"
"Ah...yes, I'm ok. But are you sure about sharing apartments with me? Because we don't know each other and-"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking that? You're a woman, so I think you should consider it, right?"
"That's true, but I'm in a phase where I can't consider anything anymore. You know? Like living in the wild, you have to fight as hard as you can to survive." I said in sickening gibberish. This man was silent, observing me with a look full of questions.
I'm sure he's thinking that he shouldn't get involved with a weirdo like me.
"I understand! Everyone goes through tough times, so-"
"I do! I-I mean, I accept your offer."
"Really? Are you serious?"
"Yes, of course I'm serious! Is my face not convincing enough?"
"Okay, so how much money do you have?"
"M-money do I have?"
"I mean, if we're going to rent the apartment together, that means we have to pay for it together, right?"
"Ah...yes, you're right! We'll pay together, hahaha..." I continued laughing stupidly, trying to hold back my nervousness and stupidity at the same time.
"The man said the rent was 6000 dollars per month. I'll use two rooms if you don't mind, so I'll pay 4000 and the rest is yours, how about it?"
"S-so, I have to pay 2000 dollars? Umm... 2000 is a bit too expensive. Can I pay less?"
"Okay, 1500 Dollars. Can you do it?"
"A little more!"
"Okay, that's it! How much money do you have?" He sked. He looked very calm, truly impressive.
"I-I don't have money."
"You don't have money?" He was shocked and immediately took a breath. It's true, why would we bargain if in the end I said that I didn't have any money.
"W-what if-"
"Okay, excuse me. See you?" He said as he left.
I'm panicking because my only chance of having a place to live in this city is about to be gone.
"W-wait a minute!" I shouted calling him. He stopped walking and turned to me.
His yes, his beautiful eyes penetrated my heart. How could I pass up the golden opportunity to live in the same house with a man like him?
"You need anything?"
"L-look, actually I only have 700 Dollars in my wallet and I'm looking for a job in this city. If I could ask for your help, could I pay the 700 Dollars first and I'll pay off the rest soon. That is, if you don't mind. " I said softly and with teary eyes like the female lead in a romantic film. Even though I don't like doing it, this is the only way to make him feel pity.
"No!" Short, concise and painful answer. Those words left his mouth before he stepped back towards the apartment entrance and left me frozen in my place.
"Damn! Don't I look convincing enough? But I think my face is quite beautiful. Why isn't he tempted? Oh yeah, I forgot something." I thought.
How could I forget something as important as this? A beautiful face alone is not enough to melt the heart of an adult man. I had to show my fans something more confident in this part.
I unbuttoned the top two buttons of my shirt leaving my cleavage visible. Don't men like to look at it?
"W-wait a minute! I haven't finished talking yet!" I said right before he entered the apartment.
I got ready, waiting for him to turn so I could show him.
"Yes, this time he definitely won't refuse!" I thought.
"What's wrong? Didn't I say no?"
"T-that, I beg you!" I asked. Try hard to act gentle and seductive.
As I thought, he started to notice something different about me, this way he would definitely be tempted and let me live for free in the apartment.
"No!"
"W-what?"
"Oh yeah, your shirt buttons are open!" He said as he walked away.
"W-wait...!"
I was silent, it felt like there was a cold wind blowing around me. It felt so cold that it made me tremble.
"That's the only reaction? Am I not big enough? Ah...how is this?"
How many hours have I been here? The sky was already dark. Where should I go now? Do I really have to go home tomorrow?
"I don't want to go home! They'll all say that I'm really useless!"
I was talking to myself like crazy. Sitting on the steps at the entrance to the apartment. The man didn't go out either, he must have ended up renting a three-bedroom apartment.
"He's cruel! What's wrong with him letting me stay in one of the rooms? I'll promise to pay for it! What a stingy man! He must be calculating with his girlfriend. There's no point in having a handsome face if you're calculating with women." I cursed in annoyance. Some people passing in front of the apartment looked at me while whispering.
"What are you stupid about? What are you looking at? You've never met a crazy person, have you?" I shouted at those who even just walked around without doing anything.
"Why are you screaming?" Asked someone behind me. I turned around with a troubled face, my eyes caught the man who offered me a room with him four hours ago.
He looked at me, not with a look of pity, but with a look of hatred. If he tries to insult me too, then I won't hesitate to throw him in the face with the shoes I've been wearing all day.
"You're still here? Haven't you got a room yet?"
"I already told you, I don't have enough money. If I use all the money I have left, then I won't eat for days. How can someone like you understand?"
"I understand! You can use one room and you can pay when you have money. How about it?"
"R-really? Are you serious?"
"Yes, I'm serious!"
"Wow...thank goodness! Thank you, sir? Thank you, thank you so much." Because I was too happy, I prostrated myself and hugged his legs.
My actions immediately got the attention of the people around the apartment. But I don't care because the most important thing is that I'm safe.
"Hey, stop it! I'm going to the minimarket for a moment, you can wait here!"
"W-wait a minute, sir! Umm...how about if I come along? I can help you carry your things!"
"No! That's not necessary!" He said refusing, trying to avoid physical contact with me.
"It's okay, Master. I'll-"
"No! And stop calling me master. Do you understand?" He said holding back annoyance.
"Okay, master!"
