"What the hell do you want in my apartment?!" she yelled the question again as he didn't reply the first time.
He only stared at her and smirked. "I waited all night for you," he said, ignoring her question. "How did you get in? Did Trish let you in?" she demanded. Trish had also taken their breakup pretty hard but she was not as passionate about it as Alexa was. She could have opened the door for Then she remembered. Trish was working night. But it could not be Alexa. She had supported their breakup even though it was initiated by Trevor. Instead of Trevor to answer her question, he reached into his pocket and produced the steel object. It was not a gun. Her spare key! "Hey, you're not supposed to have that!" she shrieked. "What? You mean this?" he asked with an annoying grin and jangled the key. "Come and get it." She curled her lips and folded her arms over her breasts. She made a mental note to schedule an appointment with the locksmith to change the locks. "What do you want?" she asked crossly. "I see you slept in the new man's place," he said and motioned with his eyes at the oversized slip-ons and baggy shirt she wore. "He's my new boyfriend, not 'new man'," she corrected. He smirked. "And how is that any of your business?" she asked sourly. "So you're just going to walk away like that?" "You said to break up and I did as you asked. And now you'll just come back into my life?" she scorned. "I know it was my fault and I accept it. I fell out of love, but the moment I saw you in that club with that man, I felt my love for you burn again," "Boyfriend. He's not that man. He's my new boyfriend," she said crossly. "And let me remind you just in case you forgot. We've broken up. You mean nothing to me now. I suggest you do the same with me." He chuckled. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to take a nap. And I want you out of here." With that, she made to walk past him but he grabbed her hand and pulled her back. She tried to pull away but he didn't let go. Instead, he tightened his grip. "Let go of me," she squeaked. "Does he treat you better than I do? Does he do it better? Does he kiss you better?" At his last question, he drew her close and tried to kiss her. She slapped him across his face and pushed him back. "Have you lost your goddamn mind? What the hell are you doing?" she yelled. He rubbed his smarting cheek and licked his lips. This approach was not working. He would try the cute, sorry puppy move. His eyes teared up and his voice dropped to a solemn whisper. "Christine, let's talk about this. We can work it out. I accept that it's my fault and I hope you find a place in your kind heart to forgive me." Christine scoffed. He was really going to try to get his way with sweet words. "I will also forgive the fact that you've been cheating on me with another man," Trevor added. "I don't need your forgiveness," Christine retorted. "I thought you were all there is and thanks to our break up, I can now see you're not anything close to the best." "Please, babe," Trevor said. "Don't call me that," Christine snapped. "You lost that right and you're never getting it back." Trevor groaned inwardly and clenched his fists frustratedly. Gentle words were not working. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" he yelled. "Why are you acting like...?" "What is going on here?" Trevor and Christine turned to look at Alexa. Christine in relief while Trevor with a scorn. They never liked each other. At the sight of Trevor, Alexa's face became a big frown. "What the hell are you doing here, you son of a bitch?" she asked eyeing him distastefully. "Back off. I'm having a personal holler with my girl," Trevor said. "Your girl," Alexa scoffed. She reached forward and tugged at his arm. "Get your stink out of here!" He whipped her hand away and slapped her. She pulled her hairpin and brandished it. The look on her face showed that she was not afraid to use it and would not hesitate to stab him in the neck if it came to that. "Trevor, please, leave!" Christine begged. "Leave or I'll call the cops." He glared from Alexa to Christine who was already dialing the police. He sucked his teeth and swore as he stormed out of the house. "Hope he didn't hurt you," Alexa said and looked Christine over after Trevor had left. Christine shook her head and perched on the chair closest to her. Alexa joined her with two bottles of beer. She offered her one and she refused. "Why?" she asked. "I had more than enough to drink already," Christine replied and held her throbbing head. Alexa's eyes widened and she turned in her chair, her interest spiked, eager to get gist from Christine. "Tell me, how was it?" she asked anxiously. "You wouldn't believe it," Christine said. "Try me." With a pout on her lips and with excited gesticulations, Christine told Alexa all that happened. How she had bumped into Trevor in Red and to save face kissed the stranger. And how he had taken her to his place and fucked her. When she was done with her tale, which she embellished with some exaggerations, Alexa's agape mouth could not shut. "What will happen now?" Alexa inquired curiously. "You've hooked a new man. It's time to reel him in." "No, please," Christine objected. "It's just a one night stand I didn't see coming. Besides, I'm not ready for any relationship now." ......... His hands went slowly down her thighs and two of his fingers slid into her pussy. He drove them in and out repeatedly till her pussy was soaking wet, eager to be drilled by his huge dick. He held her against the wall, one of her legs raised onto his shoulder as he thrust deeper and quicker. Her thighs tinged and she felt her muscles get weird. Then just as she reached the climax and was about to squirt all over the floor... She woke with a start. Just one night of meeting him and he was already the man of her dreams. It was just so unfortunate that she would not see him again. Except she went to Red again. But she didn't even have to go to the night spot to meet him. ............ "Which one do you think is better? The black or the blue?" Alexa peered at the clothes Christine was showing her. "I'll go with the blue." "Thanks," Christine said and walked excitedly to the counter where the clerk packed the clothes and tore out a receipt for her. Monday was her first day at work and she was shopping for new clothes to wear. It was a big company and she had not expected to get the job. She was sent away from her previous job after refusing sexual advances from her randy boss. She hoped her new boss would be different. .......... As the lady in a white blouse, brown suit and skirt with slick court shoes led her down the hallway to the boss' office, Christine fed her eyes with the luxury of the business place. Every floor of the exquisite skyscraper exuded affluence but the aura on this floor surpassed the others. The secretary opened the door and walked in followed by Christine. A man was in a sleek tuxedo, his hands in his pockets, his gaze on a hyper-realistic painting of a lion wearing a golden crown. "This is the new intake, sir," the lady said and walked out, leaving Christine with the boss. "Good morning, sir," Christine greeted. No response. The boss continued to stare at the painting. "Good morning, sir," she greeted again. He grunted and turned slowly. As he turned, her smile dropped.Mira swore silently as the side of her flame red Ferrari sports car scratched a jalopy as she eased it into the parking lot. She inspected the side. Not much damage. But there was a scratch near the headlights and a tiny dent on the glass. She cursed as she walked in through the sliding door and looked around. A greeter in a sleek white shirt and black pants and loafers walked up to her. She rudely refused his offer of a seat and waited at the door, looking. She moved slowly inside, scanning the faces of the people in the diner, bowed over their meals. She heard a whistle and she stopped. There was no way she could miss the distinct tattoo on the wrist of the man waving. The same woman from the other night was there and she had a wry grin on her lips. She grunted as she took her seat. Viper smiled as he slid a plate of pancake over the table to her. "Where's she?" Mira asked, looking distastefully at the home cooked pancake. "Where's the money?" Jenny asked. "Where's the gi
Lily was everything her name said. She was as fair as lilies, had hair that was white as lily and her gentle perfume had a distinct scent of lilies. She was the warmest waitress in the diner. She greeted everyone with a large smile that exposed her pink gums and did all her duties with the warm smile. She was Christine's favourite waitress in the diner and as she served her a plate of sandwich and a mug of espresso, she flashed the same gummy smile. "As much milk as the mug can hold. Just as you like it," she said with a hushed tone. Christine chuckled. As she dropped the China plate and ceramic mug and jug and arranged them on Christine's table, she caught Jenny through the corner of her eyes staring. "Hey, Miss Christine," she called in a whisper as Christine took the first bite. "Huh?" Christine hummed in response. Her mouth was filled with the delicious bread and fillings of the sandwich. “Have you noticed that someone is staring at you… since long…” Lily leaned in to her a
Mira glared at Christine and Alan as they did their thing. She sucked her teeth and whipped her phone out of her pocket. She dialled a number and the person picked almost immediately. "Hey, Viper," she said, walking towards the restroom away from the noise and partying. "What do you want?" came the gruff reply. "I got your contact from..." she hesitated and curled her lips. There was an expectant silence at the other end, Viper waiting patiently, the sound of someone chomping on chewing gum loudly. "Let's call him a friend," she said. It was not safe to disclose such information on a call.""Okay?" "I have a job for you," she informed him. "This is not the place to talk business," he said, his voice taking a serious tone. The lady popping gum beside him sat up in the chair and took the gum out, pressing it on the wall. "So can we meet in a restaurant or a park or something?" Mira asked with a shrug. "No, too posh," he replied immediately, gravely. "And a park is too open.""We
It was Sunday evening and Christine and Alexa were sitting on a sofa, watching cartoons, munching popcorn. Trish was out on a date with Brandt. After the visit, and when he helped rescue Christine from Trevor, Trish began to develop feelings again. And now, she was back in a relationship with Brandt. Christine's phone vibrated suddenly and then began to ring. It was Alan. She picked the call. "I was invited to a gala hosted by Gene Johnson," he said excitedly. "Okay..." she said slowly, trying to sound excited."I want you to be my date," he said decisively. "I don't know, Alan...I'm kinda busy..." Christine was saying but Alexa would not hear of it. "It's nothing serious. We're only having some Netflix and Chill, darling!" she yelled at the top of her voice.Christine clasped her hand over the mouthpiece and shot Alexa a terrible glare. "What? I was only telling the truth," Alexa said in her defence. "You ever heard of something called privacy?" Christine hissed furiously und
He was hiding among the flower hedges, perfectly camouflaged by the leaf green hue of jacket he wore over his clothes. "Excuse me, sir," she said.He turned and a look of horror crept into his face. Christine had a clear view of him now. He was in a black shirt and denim trousers. And he wore a newsboy cap. A shiny black digital camera hung from his neck. "Who the hell are you?" Christine demanded strongly. He didn't answer. Instead, he smiled and his fingers folded around the camera. His hands moved and he raised the camera slowly up. The flash dazed Christine momentarily and before she could recover, the man skipped over the hedges and padded across the garden to a Vespa he parked behind the house. He kicked and the engine sputtered alive. The scooter started immediately. Christine swore out loud as she watched him ride down the street. He had taken her picture. She wondered what news he hoped to spread with that. "I heard some noise," Trish said as Christine trudged in. "Stu
"Your schedule, sir," Christine said and flipped the pages open. She spent only two days in the hospital after her freedom from the Lorraine and Jake and Maria. She didn't sustain numerous injuries, just mild scratches and a bruise on her face where Lorraine's ringed finger had brushed her when she slapped her. There were no grievous ones so she only had to take a good rest. Lorraine's body had been taken and cremated. Jake and Maria too had been taken and they were in police custody till their trial. They were sure to bag sentences, spend time in the state prison. "How are you doing?" Alan asked her, looking up from the pile of work on his table. She shrugged. "I'm doing better."He looked critically at her for a moment. "You're sure?" She nodded and smiled. He smiled back and leaned in his chair, listening as she read his schedule out to him. It was the usual detail of the day – business meetings with some representatives from two growing tech companies, consultation with a
