His Booty Call 53
The irony is delicious.A Nickel is going to save a Cooper. Though it is my fault I put her in a dangerous position. She still has a role in it, she sketched her way into my life, all along with her fake innocence. I wonder if she faked her virginity just to make her look more pure. I can't think or see straight my head is conflicted with all this thoughts.A small part wants to leave her suffer for all the lies and manipulation. The other part wants to save her and see her just for the last time. She is a beautiful twisted fortune cookie.Peter's call comes again as soon as I hit the road. I press loud speaker and wait for his empty threats."You think this is a game?" He asks. "You have no idea what am capable of." He tries to sound intimidating and I roll my eyes.I decide not to give him the joy of knowing he won the minute he kidnapped... Just thinking of her name makes me mad all over again. I clench and unclench my jaw. I hate lies. Most importantly, I hate the person who speaks

We are back to Cara's POVI am never going to win this war, that should have been clear from the start. The Nickel won a long time ago. Quinn should been the one tied on such a chair, by me. I am the one that should be torturing him, not the other way round. I am bearing all his sins. Just like how my father went to jail because of his father's wrongs, and he died because of him.Peter emerges from a small opening that leads to unknown secret place. He is talking on the phone."You underestimated your importance to Quinn." Peter says after he ends the call.I roll my eyes with little interest."Lucky me." I say sarcastically. I am surprised he is actually going to save me. For a second, I imagine he is going to come and join Peter in torturing me. I shake the thought away, it is his fault am here."You are quite the snack." He threads filthy hands onto my hair. I am both terrified and disgusted by his touch and closeness. He moves further to caress my cheek, his thick coarse thumb rou

It is not long before I feel Quinn's arm on my shoulder."It is over." He assures.I am yet to understand what happened. Everything happened so fast. One minute I was thinking this how I die, how Quinn dies but in a blink everything changed. What just happened? Is this some sort of Stan Lee superhero stuff?I look around waiting for something terrible to happen, waiting for the rest of the gang to appear gun blazing at us. I shut my eyes and open them. Nothing. Absolutely nothing happens. Nothing makes sense. Quinn has no weapon but who shot Peter?I sink deeper into his embrace, my heart rushing and my mind loud with confusion. Just then I see a group of three men walking towards us, all of them with guns. Not just ordinary guns but sniper.I clear my throat, "There are three men heading towards us." I whisper to him as fear start to sip in.He turns to face them and a smile forms on his lips. I feel my body slowly relax as the men halt in front of us. Everything slowly starts to mak

The concrete floor beneath my feet feels heavy, like I am the one bearing its weight. I wish for the distance to Oliver's apartment to triple. I look behind me after I have entered the building. Quinn is still watching me. He should have drove off but he is still here, watching me.I square my shoulders. No matter how badly I try to look okay. I can't fake it. My clothes are tattered, my skin has several bruises and dry blood. I breath out and walk towards the elevator. I stand for a while before it opens. I am conflicted, I decide to take the stairs. I am just not ready to face Oliver. I can picture the devastation that he will wear. He should never bear any of my sins.The trip doesn't last long as I desire it to be. I find myself knocking on Oliver's door. I expect him to be asleep. However am wrong when he opens the door. He is dressed up like he has been awake for hours. He takes in my appearance and gulps. His expression changes from shock to anger."Jesus christ!" He exclaims.

"Speak." I tell him once the engine comes to life."My mom has been having these episodes, one minute she is okay, the next when she sees any woman or girl she turns into something else like she has seen a monster." Andre replies."Oh," Is all i can say as I finally understand why she was hostile towards me. I am glad there's no bad blood between us, and pray for her recovery."The doctor said she will be okay." He adds."I'm sorry if I triggered another episode." I apologize."You didn't know.""Yeah, and you shouldn't have been rough with me." I say."I'm sorry about that."The rest of the journey we talk and I don't tell him about my abduction or the fact that Quinn knows. Men are so oblivious, he doesn't even notice the bruises the make up failed to hide.We find a crowd at the school's parking lot. As we drive by I notice Quinn's Lamborghini. It is in a bad shape, on the ground there are broken glasses and other parts of the car. Andre finds an empty spot where he parks. Students

A day flies by, I spend the entire Tuesday looking for a job or paid internship. I am weeks away from graduating so I might as well get serious in finding employment. It is tough as most require experience which I lack. Also I desperately need an income to find my own apartment. Nimo, Oliver's girlfriend will return tomorrow and I don't need to be a third wheel in their apartment. And all of this is Quinn's fault that I'm homeless.Oliver's steps are silent I don't realize he has walked until I spot his shadow in front of me with a suit case and box. I recognize them. They are mine.He hangs his bag and his keys. He's always been more organized than me. There's nothing out of place or clothes lying around."How is the job search?" He asks."Frustrating. With the experience and age limit they put, it is like one should have started working in their mothers' womb." I breath."I'm sure you will find something.""Where did you get my stuff from?" I ask standing up.He wipes his face, "The

The Dday finally arrives. We find ourselves; Oliver and I outside the deans office. We are early no one is yet to arrive. Not even the dean."What if he lied to Andre? Oliver is standing at the notice board. My attention is drawn when I see an announcement for those that meet the requirements can start on the graduation application. I am drawn back when Oliver speaks again."On the card you received it did indicate he was out to get back at us." Oliver says worried. I know how much being in this university means to him."Whatever happens we deal with it." I encourage him."Then you better be ready." A voice says. I look up to find Quinn's hard stare on us. He is alone.I stay tight-lipped. If I speak I will vex him and that will be bad for Oliver. Any day It would be my pleasure to argue with him. However Oliver has other plans..."If you think you can terrorize us like your father did to mine. You are wrong!" Oliver hisses at him."No one that is terrorizing you. And neither did my fa

"Where do you see yourself in the next five years?" The Human resource guy implores.This isn't going how I expected. I thought it would be the C.E.O, my uncle, that will be interviewing me.I square my shoulders and confidently talk about how I predict my career will grow in the next five years and my contribution to the organization.The HR listens to me with indifference.
