"So, what was so important that you had to meet me right away?" Layla asked.
She was sitting on Sarah's bed, in Sarah's dorm room, next to Alex, as they both waited for Sarah to explain herself. Sarah looked at both of them and breathed a heavy sigh.
"Okay, here it goes..." Sarah breathed in, then she opened her mouth and - said nothing.
"Well?" Layla prompted.
"Layla - this is the first time we've ever seen Sarah speechless! Don't ruin this for me!" Alex said.
"Thanks, Alex. I'm trying to be serious and you're cracking jokes." Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Are you kidding me? You're never serious when I have something to say!"
"Okay - enough," Layla said. "Just say it, Sarah. I'm sure I can handle it."
"I ditched you guys today because, uh, I wanted to make a deal with Caliban for money to start a yoga studio," Sarah said.
"Wait; he said he would give that to you as a gift." Alex reached out to Sarah and shook her. "You don't need to make a deal with him!"
"I know that, but, it just feels like I'm being paid to be Layla's friend and that feels wrong to me!"
"If I say it's okay, does it still feel wrong?" Layla asked.
"I guess, but, it's more than just that, I -"
"You want to be his pet," Layla interrupted Sarah.
"Yes!"
"WHY?!" Alex demanded. "I already have one chica under that psychopath's thumb, I don't need another!"
"Do you want a list? Should I start with his physical attributes or how fucking turned on I get watching Layla play Princess Leia? How about the fact that he's insanely rich?"
"How about the fact that he's a fucking demon - a literal from hell demon!" Alex said. "Did I mention that he acts like a demon, too? Have you seen him as a demon?"
"Yes. Have you?" Sarah retorted.
"When?"
"Today. I guess I interrupted something between him and Lilith, " Sarah said. "At first it was - um - terrifying, and then I started thinking about the geometry and size of different body parts which was also kind of terrifying, and then, I don't know, it didn't scare me as much anymore?"
"You're crazy!" Alex said.
"Actually, you do get used to it. I mean, it hurts at first, but -" Layla explained.
"NO! Bad brainwashed Layla!"
"Alex? Chill!" Layla grabbed Alex's knee. "I'm not completely brainwashed. Yet."
"He's making me wait a week to make sure I still want it." Sarah groaned.
"Good," Alex said.
"Yep. It is good. A demon good-doer..." Layla mumbled as she fell backward on the bed.
Alex glared at Layla.
"Was that it?" Layla asked. "Or is there another shoe to drop?"
"Um, yes. There's another shoe."
Layla sat back up. "Okay, lay it on me."
"While I was there two women showed up to speak with Caliban. Apparently, while we were doing girls' night, Lilith and Caliban went to a strip club and picked them out." Sarah closed her eyes and braced for impact.
Layla balled her fists and tightened her lips.
"See, Layla - he's cheating on you with strippers!" Alex said.
Layla rolled her eyes. "It's not exactly cheating - I'm his pet, not his girlfriend. You can play with dogs that aren't yours and still have a dog at home."
"Did you just call yourself a dog?" Sarah asked.
"Yes. Yes, I think I just did."
"You can't seriously be okay with this!" Alex shouted. "Strippers, Layla! You might catch something!"
"I'm not happy about it, and I'm going to sit him down and have a long talk about STDs, but as long as this is a one-time thing..."
"He's looking to make them a part of his harem," Sarah added.
Layla looked up at Sarah and blinked.
"Are you okay with that, too?" Alex asked.
"Not really." Layla took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.
"So I guess that's like going to the shelter and bringing back a new dog?" Alex taunted.
"The fact that he was seeking out more women to add to his harem doesn't bother me - I knew that was going to happen eventually. What bothers me is that I wasn't a part of the conversation and that I had to hear it from Sarah," Layla snapped.
"Well, if it makes you feel any better, he wanted me to tell you." Sarah gave a weak smile.
"That doesn't make me feel better, Sarah; that just pisses me off more," Layla said as she got up. "I've got to go."
Layla rushed to the door, down the stairs, and out to her car. Immediately after sitting behind the steering wheel, she began hitting it in anger. "Goddamn motherfucking asshole!" she yelled. "You couldn't at least ask first?!" She pressed the ignition and started down the street towards downtown.
She swerved around slower-moving drivers, stepped on the gas when she saw a clear road ahead and slammed on her breaks when she was blocked by traffic. Her fists gripped the wheel as if it was Caliban's throat. She kept going over and over what she was going to say to him - what she was going to do to him - the moment she walked through those elevator doors. Each scenario that ran through her head was more desperate and contrived than the last.
When she finally made it to the penthouse's building, she parked in the underground garage and ran to the penthouse elevator. She quickly punched in the code, realized she hit the wrong keys, then punched in the code again. She slipped into the elevator the moment the door opened and hit the button to the penthouse repeatedly.
"FUCK!!" she yelled as the elevator started moving. She took off the leather jacket she was wearing and threw it against the elevator doors. She then chanted, "You motherfucking piece of shit! You motherfucking piece of shit!" kicking the elevator doors on each syllable.
She saw that she was nearing the penthouse; she straightened her posture, smoothed down her hair, and picked up her jacket. The moment that the elevator doors opened, she started marching towards Caliban.
He was wearing a dark grey suit with a light blue tie. He sipped coffee and read the news on his tablet as she stormed across the room to his favorite chair in the living room. Caliban looked up. "Hello Layla," he said before she slapped him, which caused his coffee to spill on the floor.
Caliban quickly recovered and gave her a disappointed look. "Okay, you obviously want to say something to me -" She slapped him again, interrupting his sentence.
"You don't want to do that ag-." She reared back to slap him, he caught her arm, and then pushed her onto the sofa. "... again. I don't hit you in anger, you don't hit me in anger, or you'll find yourself severely punished," Caliban warned.
"FUCKING PUNISH ME THEN!!" she yelled. "Do you think I'm stupid?! I know you were going to want more women for your harem - I know that two women wouldn't be enough to satisfy a fucking incubus - but I at least thought you had just a molecule of respect for me that you'd at least inform me about your plans. Instead, I have to hear it from fucking Sarah, who, I might add, thinks she's doing you a favor by telling me."
"I told her to tell you," Caliban said calmly.
"DO YOU THINK THAT'S ANY FUCKING BETTER?!"
"Actually, yes. If you'd slow the fuck down and think about it, you'd realize that I'm pissing you off on purpose. I'm a master at manipulating humans - I have over ten thousand years of experience. Don't you think I would know how you would react?"
"What are you saying?!" Layla said. "Do you know what? I don't even want to know. I'm leaving!"
"Okay," Caliban said as he picked his tablet back up.
"OKAY?!"
Caliban nodded. "Yep. You can take all the clothes I bought you, the car I bought you, and start this semester's worth of classes that I paid for. Consider them your parting gift. Good luck paying for your books and next semester - hopefully those three slave-wage, part-time jobs you quit last week will welcome you back."
Layla gritted her teeth and held back tears.
"You see, we both know you don't want to leave, and I don't want you to leave either. Moreover, you can't leave, so the threat was meaningless before it was even said. I needed to see just how much I've worn down your will to resist me - I needed to gauge how resilient you are to my effect on you. Anger is the best indicator,"
"So you did this all on purpose?" she asked, still seething.
"Yes."
"You still shouldn't go to strip clubs to find new sluts. Jesus Christ - we're in the middle of the city! There's got to be five colleges within a ten-mile radius from here! Not to mention high school seniors! Why buy a used taxi cab when you can afford a new Aston Martin?!" Layla said.
"You're referring to grown women as used cars; think about that for a moment and let me know when your sense of self-dignity returns..." Caliban said.
"You don't get to talk to me about feminism; you literally own me!" Layla yelled.
