One night stand with my fiancé's dad

SHIRLEY'S POV

My name is Shirley Wilson. Life was so perfect for me and my family. Within a twinkle of an eye, everything took a total turn. “How can I survive this”. 

My parents lost their lives in a drastic motor accident. A young lady of my age losing both parents on the same day? I asked myself such a question, expecting an answer!!! 

I have to drop out of school. Life is unfair!! Who's going to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of my younger siblings? I have to become a mother and father to them. 

I never thought of this even for a second. What job will I be qualified for? No experience!! No certificate!! No hope!!

Even those with certificates and numerous years of experience find it difficult to get reliable jobs in this city.

We have bills to pay. Who's going to pay our bills? I have to sacrifice everything to cater for my two sisters. They are too young to pass through this face of life, it will have bad effects on them.

What should I do?

I was resting and thinking of what to do the next morning, a loud noise came from the kitchen.

“We're famished,” said Grace with teary eyes.

That made me so disappointed in my entire existence. We don't even know what to eat.

Watching my younger sisters in that state, my heart was broken.

I have to assure them that they will eat tomorrow with a worried voice full of disappointment.

I watched my sisters lie on their tummies for the pain they were feeling to subside.

My alarm woke me up early, I had to go out and look for a job to take care of myself and my siblings.

As I was preparing, I heard a loud voice and a knock on our gate. Who's home? That is our landlord's voice. I presumed.

My heart started beating so fast. What will I tell him?

“Good morning”. What's good about the morning? He responded harshly. “Your rent is due, I'm giving you a week to pay or you vacate for a new tenant to come in”, he said unconcerned about the tears in my eyes.

He banged the door loudly, and the noise woke my sisters up. He left angrily and murmured in his mouth.

Who's that? Asked Grace. I couldn't tell her what just happened.

I prepared breakfast for them with the remaining loaf of bread available. Their facial expressions showed the meal wasn't enough for them.

What kind of life is this? I said to myself.

What is the use of my existence?

Walking on the street of the city, thinking about what step to take next. My lord, help me. I made a sincere prayer.

I can't afford to go home without anything to feed on.

My eyes spotted one pretty young lady coming out of a grocery shop. I figured she would be of help to me.

I hope she helps me, I whispered to myself.

Hello madam, I ….. need help. I immediately started stammering.

What kind of help young lady? She asked me politely. 

I…… need a job. After a few chit-chat. She introduced herself as, Debbie. She sent me to a convenient place for us to talk further.

Debbie is willing to get me a job. “You know how this city is,” I nodded. Finding a decent job without no experience or certificate is a mission impossible.

Debbie does not look rich but she can cater for herself well, she told me her sad story.

She made me know her to how she also suffered in life and still suffering as it stands. But she doesn't lack anything now. I opened my eyes wide in surprise, hearing her story as well.

I can't do that kind of work. S*x work? I'm from a decent Christian home and that's an abomination. My parents will be heartbroken even in their grave if I indulge in such. I lost my appetite for the juice I was sipping immediately. 

Do you have any option here? Debbie asked while sipping her juice. I'm living comfortably doing that work.

Life doesn't give us a choice. If not we will choose from them.

My grandmother will be heartbroken if I tell her this is the job I want to venture into.

Debbie gave me numerous reasons why I should start that work. It doesn't even look like I have any alternatives here.

My siblings’ fees! Our rent is due and the landlord is on the verge of throwing us out in the street.

We don't have food to even feed on. My grandmother is my only family left, she's too old to work and look after us.

You're welcome. Grace greeted me. She had to touch me before I could acknowledge her presence in my room. I was lost in thought. 

Sis, are you fine? You didn't even acknowledge our presence. What are you thinking about?

We're going to bed sis. School resumes tomorrow. Will we be going to school? That question touched my heart. I didn't have an answer to that.

Yes, you will go to school by next week.

Good night to you all.

The thinking of whether to go into s*x work or not clouded my mind the entire night. I couldn't even blink my eyes. I need to make a bold decision and sacrifice for my remaining family. After all, I don't have any choice.

I will do it! It was as if there was a spirit in me that spoke those words. Tears rolled down my face. Just thinking about the fact that it will be the first time. I'm still a virgin after all these years, I'm about to lose that pride in such work! 

I have to move in with Debbie. That's what she suggested after our discussion the last time. My family must not know about this work. I just have to frame up about the work I want to do.

I have to send my siblings to go stay with my grandmother, so I can vacate to stay with Debbie.

Grandma was extremely happy to see us and didn't want me to leave her.

“Always remember your good upbringing and morals, don't venture into filthy works” Grandma advises. I couldn't control my tears after hearing that. My heart was so heavy.

What should I do?

She tried to clean the tears rolling down my cheeks with the back of her right hand. Things will get better soon, Shirley. I nodded and smiled while the dimple on my cheek showed. She's happy to see that broad smile on my face. My late mother’s sense of fashion took a turn on me. Even my casual clothes look great on me. All our outfits fit us well, it doesn't show how poor we are even for a second. “I'm sorry I couldn't get here on time”. The traffic was f*ck*ng bad. The cabman apologized. He kept me waiting for a whole hour. I was losing all my patience. But I just have to calm down. Take me to this address, while I headed over a white paper containing the address to Debbie's house to him. The weather was sunny and therefore hot. I couldn't wait to get to my destination. “Please, do you know the address you're going to or it's your first time?” The cabman asked. I genuinely didn't feel like even altering a word. I'm still p*ss*d off after making me wait for such a lon
