Tami once again stood before her manager's office. Darrell's door was closed, but she knew he'd be in there, doing paper work or whatever managers do after work hours. Tami had only been to his office once, two weeks ago, to keep her from getting herself fired. Darrell fucked her hard, and allowed her to keep her job despite her still rude attitude. But today Tami needed something else. She needed a raise.
Over the weekend, the landlord raised the rent from five hundred to six hundred, threatening to kick Tami out if she couldn't afford it. And Tami couldn't. She was barely getting by with the five hundred dollars rent, and now six hundred? Tami didn't want to move. She spent a whole month and a half searching for apartments near her college and her company, and didn't want to waste money for the moving fees again. She would have to ask Darrell for a raise, and she was prepared to do whatever he wanted.
Tami brushed her shoulder-length brown hair from her face, tucking a strand of green highlights behind her hair. She sucked in a breath, pushing down her pride, sensibility, and reason down. She told herself that she was doing this for the raise, nothing else.
Tami knocked roughly on the door.
"Come in," Darrell called from inside. Tami pushed open the door. She frowned and shivered, Darrell had turned the air conditioner on so cold.
"Why is it so cold?" she asked, shutting and locking the door behind her. Darrell looked up from his papers with a small smile on his face. He was young and handsome, with sharp gray eyes and messy black hair. He wore his dress shirt casually, with his tie hanging loosely from his neck. Darrell was manager only because his dad owned the business, and he needed some place off the streets during the summer.
"What is it, my sexy slut? Back for more fun?" he smirked. Tami rolled her eyes.
"Listen, my stupid landlord just raised my rent by a hundred dollars, so I want a raise," she said straight out, staring into Darrell's eyes. Darrell stood up but kept eye contact. He walked towards Tami and put a hand on her shoulder, rubbing her forearm slowly.
"You know I don't give raises that easily..." he murmured. Tami rolled her eyes again.
