Monae's POV

The restaurant is fully packed today. All our tables have been taken and we had to create new tables at the bar area. I'm wondering what the occasion is today as I approached my last table to pick up theirs plates and get ready to leave.

My shift has ended and I can't be any glad. Don't get me wrong, I do like my job though it's not my dream job. It pays my small bills and feeds me so I don't starve to death. It's just these disgusting men who patronize the restaurant.

They stare at me like I'm the last piece of meat on their dining table. Lust filled eyes followed my body all day long and those who thought they're man enough come up to me flirting with me to get me into their stinking bed.

What  disgusts me the most is, majority of those men are wearing wedding rings on their finger and they're out here trying to get into my pants. I know I'm not the only one, there are more other girls out there who they're disturbing like they do to me. I pity their wives, slaving themselves and pleasing them all they can yet their efforts aren't appreciated.

Their husbands are out flirting with young girls who're old enough to be their daughters and nieces. Spending their money on them, for me I don't entertain them. I tell them my mind and storm out  leaving them with open mouths. Yeah not all young ladies have the heart to sleep with men as old as their fathers. If others can do it, I Monae Araba Daniels can't, won't and forever decline from doing that. I've got my dignity as a woman and my values as a Christian to uphold.

Fortunately for me, the occupants of the table had paid their bill and tipped me with a twenty dollar bill. It's so much money in my eyes, with this and my savings I can pay my room mate my over due rent.

"Monae, Mr Sheldon demands for you in his office now." Marilyn smiled at me, twirling a strand of her hair with her finger.

It's the first time my co waitress, Marilyn has smiled at me and trust me I don't have a good feeling about it. Her eyes are always glaring daggers at me and her words are always full of spite and it's a first she's called me by my name unlike the usual whore, black slut and ugly monkey she's always called me by.

I took off my name tag and removed my hair from the ponytail it's in, heading straight into his office. I took some minutes collecting all the patience I can get before knocking on the door. Mr Sheldon ordered me to come in which I did.

He was at his desk as always, puffing on a cigarette which he placed on the ash tray before turning to look at me. His eyes raked my body up and down as he slowly got off his seat. He took predatory steps towards me, his face plastered with a spiteful smirk.

He roughly grabbed my chin so I look him squarely in the face, there was no need for that, my attention was already on him. "You little black slut! Holier than thou bitch!" He barked at me.

I kept mute, I've been called that so many times it's no more news. I however whimper from how he is hurting my chin with his ugly hand. "My chin is bruising Mr—"

"Don't you dare mention my name with your filthy mouth, you whore! You're fired!" He let go off my chin, laughing dryly.

What?! Fired? What did I to get myself fired aside working and minding my own business? "Why sir?"

"Don't ask me why you whore!" He barked at more time at me, groping my butt roughly.

"I have the right to ask why I have been fired." I slapped his hand off it, he didn't budge and groped the other.

"You have no right, girls like you have no right whatsoever." He brought his lips forcefully on my face, I was fast enough to turn my head sideways, they landed on my cheeks. He shook with rage, "You little slut, isn't this what you want huh? Getting slept with by men for money?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said between whimpers, this man is insabd. He always has been i don't know why has still roaming on the streets freely when he should have been confined in a mental institution.

"Shut your sinful mouth, you know damn well why I'm talking about. Did you think I'm stupid? That I won't find about you flirting with my wealthy customers, sleeping with them whenever they want for bucks. I could have given you much more than they do Monae if you had accepted my proposal but no, being the slut you are, you're out there selling yourself! That's all what you black bitches know!"

What is this disgusting man taking about? Yes I didn't accept his proposal but I didn't go around sleeping with his customers like he claims. I'm far more worthy than prostitution gosh!

He groped my butt again, pulling me to him. He's suddenly turning violent slapping me as I tried to get out of his hold and tore my blouse. No no this can't happen, Father above please save me.

Mr Sheldon pushed me onto his table and pinned me down with one hand as he struggled to unbuckle his belt with the other. My instincts started kicking in. I can't let this filthy pig rape me, it's not my portion to be raped. No!

I mustered all the strength I had and kicked him where it hurts most. He yelled in pain, letting go off my arms and bent down. I took the opportunity of him being weak and distracted and made for the door.

How does it feel huh? I turned to smirk at him, "I quit Sheldon, I can't work with a disgusting rapist pig like you!" I spat at him and slammed the door so hard, the hinges are weak by now.

Marilyn and Kayla stood at in front of me smiling. Their eyes took in my appearance, Kyla smirked and Marilyn gave me a disgusted look, "being a whore as always are we?"

"I'm not in the mood for your stinking breath in my face Mary, move!" I shoved past her making a tsk sound. I wasn't out of ear shut when Kayla said to her, "do you think she's been fired already?"

"Trust me Kay with all the provoking words I said to him about her, he has fired her. Why do you think her top is torn, that old pig wanted to have his share of her shit."

"Wow girl! You did great, now we're gonna rule this restaurant and make the money she used to make. We've finally gotten rid of our hindrance." Kayla high five her. They twerked, smiling victoriously at each other.
