Morgan Hill Hotel. San Jose. California.
~Dare Ofegu~
"This must be it."
I muttered, looking up at the name of the hotel. It's a huge five star hotel. There I was, after several minutes of driving.
"What could she be doing in a five star hotel? How could she afford it? Is she meeting some billionaire guy? Repeating my error?!"
I tried arguing with my instinct. I looked at my back. At Annabelle's Rolls-Royce. I pushed the button and the car beeped locked. I headed into the building.
After several formalities and shit, I stepped out of the elevator and headed towards her room. Room 105.
"This must be."
I took a deep sigh. What if it was a prank. Maybe it's Samantha or so.
Shut the fuck up, Dare. What kinda degenerative thought is that?!
I pulled at the door bell and after few seconds the door opened. And there she was. Sexier and more beautiful.
"Dare!!"
She whooped for jo
Morgan Hill Hotel.~Dare Ofegu~"Where's everybody?"I rolled on the bed. My eyes flickered firstly then opened to the reality of the day."I can't believe this."I grunted weakly. After the great deal of argument we had the previous night, they yet let me pass the night on the bed while they slept in goodness knows where.My mother had insisted that I spent the night with them, and I couldn't return to Anny. Even though I'd messaged her, it didn't seem to be enough. I thought it quite unfair of me."Lara? Iya Dare?"I called, walking out of the room towards the sitting room. And there they were, watching a soap opera on the TV. Seated on the long couch."Oko mi. Oti ji."My mom shot as soon as she held me in her gaze. Lara spared a gaze too. She shot me a smile,"We were just talking about what to have for breakfast. Mom is scared of American leaves. And I told her she could h
Onyx Hood.~Lara~"This is hell of a building."I watched him take few steps forward, towards the large compound of the estate."Why intrigued? You sure have seen better places. I should be the one drooling."He glared at me and rolled his eyes. I chuckled as he looked away suddenly. I love him. And I wish he was my man. But I knew too well what first love could make of you. I know too well that first love is a rollercoaster... so, I've learnt not to expect too much. Just go along the ride. Who knows, he might end up as mine, or... I'm dreaming again!"Don't just stand here, come on."He called."Right."The large gate was opened by one of the gatemen. I don't know why old people love tending to the gates!As we walked in, there was already an in-compound cab waiting for us to take us to the main building."Hell of a place."He muttered again as we got into the cab and it drove off.
Same.~Dare Ofegu~"No, sit. There's nothing of quick importance."The woman shot me a wild smile as she settled down in a couch, a position where she could hold both of us in her gaze.I knew her. It didn't take me forever to remember from where I met her. Twas when Samantha brought me to San Jose to meet some group of billionaire women. This woman was the same woman who had looked for me at the exclusive room of that building and almost raped me into being hers. The African Billionaire Woman.I couldn't believe that Lara could had known her. On what occasion? How did they meet? I wasn't sure."So, Lara."I was nudged out of my thoughts as she continued with Lara who had quit looking at me. For the sake of professionalism."How did you know him. Is he your boyfriend?"She asked as Lara shook her head."I wish he was, Aunty. But he isn't.""Aunty?"M
A Garden. ~Ninny~ "Should I say it's quite a wonder that you showed up today?" Haya teased. But I guess she probably already knew that the last thing on mind was having a joke to play upon. My mind was very far from it. I kept mute after the joke. We were both standing under a tree, my car was parked by the roadside quite the distance behind me. I had asked to meet her and she'd said she was sightseeing at some garden. And here we are. It has only been few minutes into meeting with her. We'd started off with petty talks and unnecessary gists. "I know you don't want to talk about what happened among you, Dare and your mom. And I won't push you." Haya added. I shut out the distraction of the small girl who was constantly running around a little Chihuahua. I bet the little girl has no idea what monster lives in every Chihuahua. "If I don't wanna talk about it, I wouldn't had called you earlier. I'm
Kafula's Cafe. ~Ninny~ "Forgive me to wonder why you've called your rival to seat." She started as soon as she settled into the chair. I had called her to meet in the company's cafe since it's a work day, and I couldn't wait any longer. "Are you sure my mom doesn't know that you are here?" I dismissed her nuances. I knew she was trying to fuck with me. But she had no idea that I have it huge too. "I don't think I'm that sluggish. And by the way, Samantha is quite my enemy." She seemed to love play on words. I think I could use that too. "It's quite impressive the number of enemies my mom has made as a CEO and pioneer. Or does it have to do with Dare?" She chuckled softly. She's beautiful I must admit, but not as me! Duh! "Who doesn't love a big black cock?" And hell, she's nasty too. I decided to play the cards extravagantly, "It's now obvious why you're not the right pe
Somewhere in California. ~Anny~ "Is he even home?" I looked through the car of the window, gently pulling the car over at the front of the bungalow. I stepped out and punched the car locked. Twas the Rolls-Royce he had gone with for a day. He had returned it late yesterday and now I'm paying him a surprise visit at the new apartment. I walked towards the door of the building and used an extra key to open the door. It's either I creep on him or he returns home to find me naked in his sitting room. Or who knows, he might not even be living here. He might not have moved in. "The air feels stuffy." I muttered softly as I walked into the living room. I didn't see anything yet. Then I moved further towards the large sofa, I began to hear a wierd sound. I moved closer only to find a sleeping Dare. With his chest and face buried in the chair. I was tempted to look
The New Bungalow. ~Dare Ofegu~ "Or should I call her? Put a call through to her?" I stared at the cold black screen of my phone like I was expecting a call or was going to give one. "It's been two days now and she hasn't called." I dropped the phone. "Why hasn't she called? If Anny is right, does it mean she hasn't decided yet what to make of me. A potential lover or kiss-fling." I ran my palms across my face, up my head, rumpling my hair. "I can't just sit back and watch potential opportunities slip off my hands. I think I've tried enough. I have. If she loves me, she would call. Maybe it's been one-sided all along." I grunted. I exhaled sharply, looking to my front as though I was seeing Jesus. Coming to a conclusion, I stood up suddenly and headed towards my room. I strode in, sort out a pair of clothes and shoes. I got dressed and walked out of
Kafula.~Dare Ofegu~"What are we doing here?"I argued, turning to her in the seat next to the driver's. She reached one of her fingers across, pressing it on my lips, in a hush. She leaned forward towards me and pressed her lips on mine, mine hardly paving because I was yet caught between the claws of confusion."Who's your queen?"She asked, looking me right in the eyes, after the kiss. Her face still close to mine in the position that could stir another kiss."You."I was sure she was, but I was trying to figure out what that had to do with the question I'd asked. She leaned forward and kissed me again. After the kiss, she turned to the door and opened. I made to open my door but she called,"Don't you dare."Her eyes bulging at the sockets. Woah! Like really?!I only put both my hands up in surrender as she slammed the door and hurried to my side of t
