Late on the Rent
Chapter I
____________
“We have the whole amount; the check is right here!â€
“It’s NOT the whole amount because you’re late…for the third time!â€
“What are you talking about, Trish?! Sorry about that but here is the rent, right here!â€
“I don’t CARE, you owe us the LATE FEE! Read your lease! The third time a rent check is late, you owe a late fee…we gave you two grace opportunities for being late and now, the third time the late fee kicks in! $500 for each time rent is late moving forward…â€
“Well, this is just ridiculous. We’re not giving you an extra $500 for being late by a few days!â€
The argument between Brit and her landlord was getting heated. Both women were raising their voices and neither was budging from her position. Brit was getting nervous as she was the only one home at the time that Trish stopped by. Danielle was out for a jog and Jessie was in class. Trish was also getting nervous as she had no idea that Brit was the only one home and she was without her business partner. Cassie was off collecting late rent checks from other delinquent college students that lived in units the business partners owned but would be making her rounds to check on the properties soon, regardless.
It’s not that the college seniors were broke, or even irresponsible. Brit was their university’s class president, Danielle was a captain of the cross-country team and an all-American, and Jessie was slated to be the school’s Valedictorian next spring if she kept her grades in tip top shape and was, ironically, the treasurer of her sorority. No, they weren’t irresponsible. They were the best of the best that the University had to offer.
But, they were still college students, which means that they were very, very busy. They had Pay The Rent! as one of the sections of their chore wheel that rotated monthly. Brit was only happy that both Danielle and Jessie has also been late in paying their landlords, so she wouldn’t be responsible for the late fee, alone, if it came to that. It was a bullshit rule, anyway. Sometimes the 30th of the month fell on a weekend and the check wasn’t collected from the designated drop box until the following Monday, after the check was due.
“Make sure to drop it off on the last business day of the month,†was the advice from their landlords.
Paying the rent was high on the girls’ priority lists. Paying it early on the last business day of the month was not.
Trish looked at her wristwatch. About 9:45am in the morning. Okay, fine. ONE more time, Trish thought to herself as she took a big sigh.
“Okay, where are Jessie and Danielle? I’ll talk to you three as a group so nothing gets lost in translation,†Trish said to Brit, her voice now calming.
Brit, however, took this as an insult instead of an olive branch.
“Excuse me?†She said, her hands now the hips of her gray sweatpants. “What does THAT mean?†Brit said with a bit of attitude, annoyed that Trish thought she was incapable of relaying any message to her roommates.
“Brit, it’s just a saying. Where are the others?†replied Trish, sounding irritated and exhausted.
“They’re not here right now, and I’m not going to take that attitude from you and you need to leave…right now!†Brit said with annoyance in her voice, raising a finger and pointing it towards the door behind Trish. She turned and began to walk away, her long brown hair nearly whipping Trish in the face as she spun and began to stride across the living room to the kitchen.
Trish couldn’t believe what was going on. She was actually about to break her own rules and give the late trio more slack on their irresponsible behavior and she was just blown off! It took a few moments to process what had just happened as Trish stood in the doorway, dumbfounded. Then the anger kicked in. It quickly rose to rage. Trish clenched her fists. She started to step into the house, her black Doc Martens – with blue jeans tucked into her dark gray socks - thudding on the older wooden floor. A few steps into the living room towards Brit, where she had moved to in the kitchen, and Brit realized she was being followed.
“Hey, I said to get – Oww!!!â€
Trish reached up and grabbed Brit by the hair before she could finish her sentence.
“I know what you said you spoiled brat…†Trish said through gritted teeth as she pulled Brit towards the sink. She reached down to the cabinet, opened the door, and pulled out a roll of gray duct tape that she knew was kept their for maintenance purposes.
“What the hell, get off me Trish!†Brit screamed. She tried to pull away but with only socks on her feet, she slipped and fell to the ground, causing the pull on her head to be harder.
“OWWWW!!â€
“Quiet Brit, I’ve had it with you and your girlfriends here. A few more months until you’re gone. You don’t want to pay the late fee, fine, but you’re going to learn a lesson about responsibility and manners!†Trish lectured as she thumped back into the living room and tossed Brit to the couch. She pounced on the girls’ back and pulled her wrists behind her, holding them together with one strong hand. Holding the duct tape in the other, she bit at the end of the roll with her teeth and successfully ripped the end from the main body.
“Trish STOP! You’re going to be in a LOT of trouble for this…†argued Brit as she fought against her landlord’s tight grip.
Trish began to roll the tape around Brit’s wrists. Four, five, six times.
“I don’t think you’re going to tell anyone Brit. You know why? Because then you’ll have to become public about how crappy you three are with paying the rent on time for one, and that won’t look good for your image, not at all…â€
“So what, people will sympathize with us, we’re cute girls and you’re just a big dyke landlord who tries to extort the poor college kids!†Brit said, almost none of that being true. Brit had both met Trish’s husband AND knew that their rent was more than fair. But, in the heat of the moment, she shouted the false statement and even while being taped up by the woman, almost immediately felt bad about it.
By now Trish was almost done wrapping Brit’s ankles together, taping over her light gray sweatpants. Brit struggled and tried to kick her way loose but being belly down on their living room couch wasn’t helping her with any sort of leverage. She ignored the unnecessary quip from the now-bound girl.
“The other thing I’m sure you don’t want, Brit…†started Trish.
“Trish what are you doing, Trish DON’T!†Brit begged, now with more fear in her voice as Trish stripped the girls short, white ankle socks from her feet.
“Is to have to live with the public record of how you were tied up and gagged with your own socks for the rest of your life!†Trish said with a cackle as she pushed the white cotton between Brit’s lips and teeth and up against her tongue. The thick was quickly muffling any and everything coming from Brit's mouth.
“NoooMMMPPHHHH!!!†cried Brit. Trish ripped off a few pieces of the gray tape and smacked them over Brit’s mouth as she moaned into the gag. Her eyes bulged and pleaded with her landlord but it was too late. Trish was committed to teaching the group a lesson about being delinquent.
“It will be in all of the papers and anytime someone searches you up for a job interview or anything else, THIS story will pop up! How embarrassing for you!â€
“MMMMMPPPPHHHHH!!!â€
“What the heck is going on here?†came the voice of Danielle from the doorway.
