She watched him with interest as they walked out of the club. She was very certain that he was going to take her to his home. It was right, for he had taken Mary, a complete stranger, to his home, why would he not do the same to her?They entered his car and he roared it to life, swerving through the dark alleyway to join the traffic. From time to time, she would steal glances at him while admiring his face and body. He was an attractive man, there was no doubt about it. The confidence he exuded was something which she wanted around her.Within minutes, they arrived at the gate of a hotel which she had passed by a couple of times.“Why are we here?” she asked, looking around to see cars leaving the hotel grounds.He looked at her briefly before turning away. The silent treatment, she thought to herself. She had expected him to take her to his house for the night but instead he had taken her to a hotel. Jennie would have preferred accompanying him home to see where he lived but she
“Here we are,” Jennie announced five minutes after they had left the hospital, rounding a street to get into a store which stood majestically above others.“Are you sure… we can afford this place?” the woman said with a skeptical look on her face as she followed her daughter into the store.“Don’t worry mother. I’ve got this,” Jennie smiled, heading straight for the receptionist who stood behind a desk.“Welcome miss, how may I be of service?” the lady behind the desk said with a wide smile.“Vase,” she answered bluntly. “We are just here for the vase. So if you could kindly point us to the section, we will really appreciate it.”“Alright, it is down the hall to your left. The last room there,” the woman directed, getting the two customers to start their journey.Jennie’s mother was impressed by how expensive the store was, however, Jennie had seen better due to her various outings with Richardson so she was not that impressed.“I think this is it,” Jennie said getting into a room wit
I’m not even sure we’re dating.”“Then what are you both doing? Sleeping around? Fucking? What new term do you youngsters call it these days?!”“Mum, be subtle,” Jennie whispered with a snap. She looked around the room before giving a silent prayer of thanks to God for not letting anyone hear their conversations. “These things I’m sure take time. He might have his reasons.”“Sure he does,” the woman laughed mockingly. “A random stranger he doesn’t know can stay at his place but a woman who has been by his side as a friend and a lover cannot. I can see his reasons even more clearly now.”“You can?”“Of course I can. You’re his whore,” the woman heaved, settling deeper into the couch. “You are at his beck and call. When he needed you to go to that gathering with him, you were there.”“Mum…”“Let me finish,” she said, raising her hand up. “When he needed someone to talk to, you were there. Now all you’re asking for is to see where he lives and be his girlfriend and he hasn’t agreed.”The
Jennie could see that they were not rich enough to contend with her and she was ready to make them pay for what they had said to her.How could they say those words to her and think they could get away scot-free.“What?” Alice started with a hand on her waist. “Are you dumb too?”“Okay that’s enough stupid,” she retorted, ready to face them. “If you’re so high and mighty, why are you here?”The couple looked at each other before facing her.“W-we… it’s none of your business,” Michael defended his motive for being at the store. “Besides, shouldn’t you be somewhere sucking up to another man because you’re a whore?”This statement fired Jennie up. She was ready to release her inner demons.“Aren’t you the idiot who got escorted out of that party by security for being a nuisance?” she laughed mockingly, getting the man to recoil in shock. A memory he had tried to forget was being brought back by the woman. How dare she go so low?“I understand that you were a very big disturbance at the
Alice had so much to say but she knew that she was going to lose so she closed her mouth letting her brain do the work.Jennie on the other hand was smiling triumphantly at her win. She knew they could not contend with her. They were too broke to do so anyway.Michael could not do anything but stay silent throughout the interaction for he knew saying anything would get the heat to his side. Deep down he was boiling in anger at how the woman before him was talking him down.He could not help but feel angry and embarrassed at how Richardson’s bitch was talking down on him. He had so many ploys in his palms to get rid of the woman and her mother, but he had one which he was sure would leave her in a devastating and embarrassed mood. He was going to do to her what Richardson had done to him. He was going to get her thrown out by security.He smiled at the thought of that and the idea of that happening elated him so much that he had no choice but to smirk at the thought of her being thro
A click went through as she heard his groggy voice on the phone which made her heart leap for joy.“Jennie?” he said with a heavy breath.“Hello, Richardson,” she said with a gift of thanks in her voice. “I’m sorry to bother you but I need your help right now.”“What is it?” he could sense the urgency in her voice which got him up. “What is going on?”“I came to a store to shop with my mother and I’m being thrown out of it,” she complained at the verge of tears. “There I met Michael and Alice.”“They’re with you?” he asked with a tinge of surprise in his voice.“Yes they are,” she confirmed. “We got into a little argument and they insulted me and everything and I couldn’t keep quiet about it so I told them off. Now they went and told the security whatever they said and they are about to kick us out.”“How dare they!” his deep voice thundered through the speaker loud enough for the security guards to hear it.“I don’t know what to do, Richardson. This is really embarrassing. I’m sorry
Alice folded her arms in the car as she had a heavy scowl over her face. It was clear she was angry at what had happened. Tears fell from her eyes in heavy amounts as she bit her lip in an attempt to push them back. “This is all your fucking fault,” she growled in anger. “If you had just…”Words failed her as she screamed with her hands in the air.Michael could do nothing but stare at the windshield in silence. He was also angry at what had happened. This was the second time he was getting thrown out of a place. He could not take back the embarrassment which had occurred.“You’re a pile of disgrace and embarrassment!” yelled Alice. “You know what, I blame you for all the misfortunes and I can tell you that I’ve never been embarrassed like this before.”The man sighed looking out of the window to see the cars zipping by.“When I was with Richardson, I didn’t have to go through all of this, but my time with you has been filled with one trouble or the other. You are so filled with misf
Alice watched Michael drive away as she tried to take in deep breaths.How had her life taken a sudden turn from riches to being thrown out of places? What had she done to deserve this? Was it bad to want good things for oneself?She only wanted to not suffer, was it so hard to ask for?She turned around getting into the restaurant with a sad face. Looking around she could see so many people walking around as they went on with their different things.“Welcome,” a security guard nodded to her as she moved away from the door.The restaurant was a small one, smaller than the ones she was used to being in.Heading for an empty table, she settled into it with her hands scouring through her bag for a mirror.She got it out to look into it and see how messy her makeup was.“Look what you’ve done, Michael,” she breathed, taking out a napkin to clean away the tear tracks and the mascara stain.When she had applied new makeup as well as made sure she was presentable, she dropped her things into
