THIRTEEN - JEN

LIONEL WAS THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN. He listened while I talked about Will, he nodded in all the right places, he sympathised with what had happened. “I’m afraid he’s always been like this,” he said when I finally fell quiet.

We’d been walking for about twenty minutes and I could feel a headache starting to build, pressure behind the eyes that was just starting to become painful.

“He has a tendency to see women as objects, you can’t blame him really. He’s always had money.”

“Will told me he was poor growing up.”

“Yeah,” Lionel said without skipping a beat, “that’s just one of the stories he uses, thinks it makes ‘the snatch’ sympathetic towards him.”

“That bastard.”

“I know.”

He put an arm around my shoulder and I thought nothing of it. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, it just proved how naive I’d been in believing Will.

We reached my place and I unlocked the door. Lionel stood looking at me. “I’m home,” I said, waiting for him to say goodbye.

He just stood there.

“I’m going in now.”

“Would you mind if I come up?” he asked, seeing the staircase behind me.

“Erm, I think I’d rather be alone.”

“No, of course. I just meant to use your bathroom.”

“Oh, right. I guess so. Come on up.”

He followed me, closing the outside door behind him. My housemates weren’t in, I could tell by the quiet. I stopped in the hallway at the top of the stairs. “Bathroom’s in there.”

“Great, thanks.”

I headed into the kitchen, switching on the kettle before sinking into the nearest chair, sighing loudly. I felt drained, as if I’d been running for hours on end, my limbs heavy. I didn’t even hear Lionel until he was almost on top of me. I looked up and he was standing inches away. “Ready to go?” I asked, trying to get to my feet.

He didn’t move. “Not quite,” he said, wiping his lips with the back of his hand. “I thought we could maybe get to know each other better.”

“What?”

“Come on, you didn’t invite me up here without good reason.”

“You wanted to use the bathroom.”

“Jen.” He frowned, like a teacher telling off a particularly stupid pupil. “Don’t be silly. Now do you want to do it in the bedroom or out here? I don’t mind which.”

“What the fuck are you talking about?” I managed to squirm past him, pointing down at the stairs. “I think you should go.”

“I’m not going anywhere until I get to see that pussy of yours.”

I was shocked to my core, unable to believe what he was saying. At the same time, a fear was bubbling up inside me. I was alone with him and he was much taller than me. “Get out.”

“All right,” he said, reaching into his jacket pocket. “How much will it take? How much did Will pay you? A thousand? Five thousand?”

“I don’t want your money,” I said as he waved his wallet at me. “Get out of my house.”

“Of course you want my money. Look at this shithole you live in, my dog’s kennel is bigger than this.
