Testing the Waters

Matrix's P.O.V

I wasn't sure about what to do for the day. Mr. Lim did not give me any instructions. He just said to wait for possible jobs that he was going to give me and nothing else. Apparently, all my other jobs will come from Ruv. She would be my first boss- that's how I like to think. A hot, sexy boss. 

My thoughts of embarrassment were disrupted when someone knocked on my door. I made sure to look at myself in the mirror to see if I looked decent enough to answer the door. Once I was fine with my appearance, I opened the door and smiled. It was Ruv. She was smiling at me. Her dimples were showing again, making me smile even wider. 

"Come," she bobbed her head to the side before leaving me and entering her own room. 

I gulped. It's been so long since I've been inside a woman's room. It's been so long since I've touched someone sexually and we obviously have this sexual tension around us. It was quite imminent, but I'm not sure if Ruv noticed it or if she was ignoring it. Whichever it was between the two, I was glad. 

Acting upon it would really ruin me. My urges are for me to stop.

I followed behind Ruv and closed the door behind me. Her room was full of Korean-pop artists. I don't know who they were but they were attractive- like human dolls. Other than those, I noticed the neon painting of the moon on her ceiling. It was the kind that would glow in the dark. I guess she's a moon-person. 

She had a wide white desk, with a complete gaming set up. My mouth almost watered at the set-up but I immediately tore my gaze away from the beauty. She also had a mini-longue inside her room, but it had more space than mine. The coverage of her room was larger than mine. A walk-in closet and a lot more girly stuff. 

"Did you need something?" I asked, keeping my voice from cracking. 

She had just gotten out of the shower and her hair was still wrapped in a towel. She had no makeup on. It was her bare face and I must say, I liked it. I liked what I was seeing. She wasn't afraid of me seeing her naked face. Well, who am I for her to be afraid of my judgement? 

"Since we're going to enroll tomorrow, watch out for this chick." she handed me her phone. 

She was there in the picture, as well as a woman with a very bright smile. It was too bright for me and my sad life. I focused on Ruv and how she wasn't smiling fully. Her eyes screamed 'for the sake of my best friend'. I giggled, but stopped myself. 

"She's your best friend?

Ruv sat in front of her mirror and started doing things on her face. I guess she was applying her makeup. 

"Mhmm, isn't she pretty? Gosh, I love that woman." I could tell that she liked talking. 

Her back was facing me, which I was thankful for. She was looking so sexy in front of me, looking like a snack and smelling nice as she just came out of her bath. She was wearing revealing clothes again, which I am not complaining about. She looks like a snack in front of a predator like myself. I bit my lip, wanting to give her thighs hickeys. 

I looked away, cursing at myself for being such a horny person. I looked at the picture again, and noticed that it was taken last year. There was a date, so I knew. She looked adorable and innocent. 

"Yeah, she's pretty." I answered without much thought. 

I heard her scoff before turning towards me. 

"Yo? Why do you sound so forced? Is she not pretty?" I giggled. She was squinting her eyes at me. 

She can't see? 

"Well, I'm not really into people like her?" she connected both of her eyebrows, confused. 

She must not have met someone who said that they didn't like her best friend? Was she so used to people telling her that her best friend was stunning? Was she constantly being thrown into the gutter? 

"Uh-huh, and what's your type?

We're talking as if we're not employer and employee. 

"Hmm, I like girls who wear glasses."

"...

"I like girls who are independent.

"...

"And, uh, sexually active." that part was definitely hard to say. 

"Sexually active how?

"I have a big appetite when it comes to sex, so, uhm, yeah and I like some things.

"Some things like?

I scratched the back of my neck, feeling embarrassed all of a sudden. I could tell by how unwavering her eyes were that she was really interested in our conversation, about the topic at hand. I was ready to bury myself after this conversation, if I still had a face left. I looked her in the eyes, searching for that embarrassment, but I couldn't find it. She was stoic. She was cold, but I somehow knew that she was interested. 

"Like spanking," her eyebrows shot up at me, intrigued. 

"Oh? And what else?" her 'oh' sounded so sexy to me. The way her voice growls just made me shiver. 

"Why are you assuming that there's something else?" she smirked and spun around, applying makeup to her face. 

"You said 'things'. Spanking is only one."

I inhaled. A keen woman. I liked it. I sat on the floor, feeling the carpet with my fingers. It was so soft and there were no particles inside the said carpet. It was clean. I should've known better than to think that there would be some particles inside the carpet. 

"I like pulling a woman's hair while slamming my fingers inside of her." she stopped for a brief second and crossed her legs. 

"Alright, uhm, I'm gonna need a 'me' time here. I'll call you once I'm done." I giggled. It was so obvious that it impacted her in a way that it shouldn't. 

Well, who am I to say anything when I'm here itching for my hands to get inside of her pussy? I wanted to hear her scream my name, but I don't think she's a screamer. I shouldn't really assume, since it hasn't been a day since we met each other. 

"You just called me to let me know your best friend's face?

"Of course, and I was bored, and I wanted to talk to you for a bit. Now, you can get out.

"Alright," 

I just sat on the carpet and she's already telling me to get out. What a cold-blooded woman. So I stood up and went out of her room. I stayed in mine until thirty minutes later, she came knocking on my door. She was completely dolled up and she smelled different. The first scent that I smelled on her, was her natural body scent? Is this her perfume right now? It's driving me crazy because of how it fits her. The scent and the vibe. 

"Let's go." she said, smiling like we just hadn't talked about something that we shouldn't have. If she was okay with it, then alright. NO need to get all fussy. 

She guided me to the parking area they had inside their big lot. I was still astounded by the place's beauty. There were flowers and a small fountain area. I wanted to cry. Some people just have it easy, huh? The atmosphere in which she lived in was so carefree yet pressuring at the same time. Her parents have set a standard already and I think if she attains less than this, it would be a complete disgrace. 

I wonder what she thinks. I want to know. I want to get to know her better. She hummed as we walked. 

"So, where are we going?

"Hmm, we're going to a cafe where we'll meet some of my friends." I nodded my head even though she couldn't see me as I was walking behind her. 

"Okay," I said. 

There it was, a steel door. I held my breath as she pushes a button and the door opens, opening sideways. I closed my eyes, and anticipated five cars there, shining with glamour. 

I was stunned. 

There weren't only five cars- there were many. Too many for me to count as she pulled me inside the parking lot. I zigzag my eyes across the many, many cars. 

"Oh! I think that's the one." she let go of my hand and looked at me. 

I gulped and unlocked it using the car keys and I almost fainted when it lighted up. The blue exterior made me inhale so intensely that I coughed. I have never seen such an elegant car before. It was midnight blue, with a bit of - almost looking like stars - as highlights. The car was definitely tinted so I couldn't see inside. 

"This, this is the car that I'm going to keep on driving?" she giggled, amused by my reaction. 

"Mainly, it would be, but we can change that from time to time." she was proud of her statement and proud that they have a lot of cars.

What a flex. 

"I see, okay.

"Do you know the road?" she asks. 

You see, I don't know how I became a driver when I always suck with directions. I really thought that Mr. Lim would ask me if I was a good- a great driver, but he didn't. I guess he needed to evaluate me and my skills before he hired me. 

"Uhm, I know how to drive, but I suck with directions.

"You suck at directions? But you have a license, right?" I nodded my head, yes. 

"Okay, well, it's fine. I'll just tell you as we go." I grinned, thankful that she was patient with me. Well, at least going to be. I don't know how fast her patience will run out though. 

" Alright."

We got inside and the first thing I noticed was the white leather seats. The insides were clean and it smelled nice. It was a different kind of air freshener and I liked it. There was no dirt on the floor. And no shoeprints on the pedals. I inhaled the scent of the air freshener. It was cool. 

"You alright?" she asked with a giggle, obviously knowing that I was enjoying the car's smell and visuals. 

The things here were premium. 

"This is my first time driving such a luxury car.

"Oh, please. You'll get used to it. A car is still a car. Let's go.

I turned on the engine and I drove the car with a big smile on my face. It wouldn't tear off of my face. I probably looked like a happy child with a candy in hand. I was that happy to ride the bad boy. The car's rev made me shiver and the smooth run was probably one of its highlights. 

"Take a left from there," she said and I happily did as she told. She didn't sound bossy. She sounded like a friend giving another friend directions. It was sweet of her to not treat me like a peasant, which I think she should. 

After a few more directions and a few more traffic lights, we finally arrived at a cafe. The cafe looked legit luxurious. Of course it served teas still but the kind which you'd choke when you look at the prices. She got out of the car before I could open the door for her. She waited patiently for me to turn off the car ad locked it. 

I looked around us and saw people looking at the car, almost drooling at its magnificence and its outstanding aura. I smiled, able to drive such a car when I barely have anything on me. 

"Come on," she said, a little bit excited. She was eager to get inside. 

I looked inside the cafe and saw many awaiting stares there, but there was one particular stare that caught my eye. When I saw Ruv skip happily to that particular person, I immediately knew who she was. She was Ruv's friend. I walk to where they are in a cool manner and smiled to Ruv's friend. 

"Ooh~ you already have a boyf- wait, girlfr-, huh." she gave up on trying to figure out what I was and just smiled apologetically at me. I giggled. 

"Hello," she clicked her tongue when she heard my voice. 

"A hottie, I see." I saw Ruv rolled her eyes beside me. 

"Please excuse her, she's not yet trained." I laughed instantly. What a harsh thing to say to a friend, but it just shows how close they are. 

"Damn, bitch. Anyway, I already ordered for you both. I hope you're okay with it though." I smiled. 

"I didn't even get your name.

The woman in front of us kissed her teeth before extending her hand for me shake. I shake it happily. 

"Jeronne," she said. 

"Matrix.

"Ooh, I like your name. Is it really your name though?

"Her name's confidential." Ruv intervened. 

"It's always confidential with you." Jeronne hissed angrily at Ruv. 

"Did you order my fave?" Ruv asked, ignoring Jeronne's hisses. 

"Yes, of course. I ordered the same for Matrix.

"I'm fine with anything, really. Water if preferable." Jeronne gagged. 

"Please, no more. And please do sit."

Ruv and I sat down on the table and Jeronne was eyeing me out quite visibly. I can’t say that I was comfortable with her staring at me but at least it wasn't that of discrimination. 

"Aren't you a hottie?" I only giggled, unsure of what to say. 

"She is, isn't she? She's handsome." Ruv jumped into complimenting me. This is the first I've heard of this. 

"She is. Where did your dad find her?

"Dude, it was her that found my Dad."

"Ah, true. Sorry, had it the other way around.

"I'm from the Philippines." I answered. 

Jeronne's eyes widened and purred. 

"Well, aren't Philippines hot?

"Gurl, you better stop that right now.

"Whaaat? I am only speaking the truth and nothing but the truth." Ruv sighed and patted me by the shoulder. 

"Please forgive her." I giggled. 

"It's fine.

After a few moments, our teas arrived. I was too ignorant to know what flavor it was and too shy to ask. I just enjoyed the tea while they talk about school-related stuffs. Somehow, their conversation came back to me. 

"You're fine with enrolling as a med-tech?" Jeronne asked, stunned with the information. 

"Yes, I am, why?

"Yooo, here I am overthinking things about my future in that school as a med student and you're here, chilling. Adjusting still." Jeronne shook her head at me. 

"Well, I don't really care as long as I graduate college with a possible decent paying job after.

"I like your mindset." Jeronne clapped her hands while looking at Ruv who was death glaring at her. 

I sighed. 

"Thank you.
