Chapter Five
We drove halfway and jammed in some kind of traffic.
''What do you think has happened?'' Bruce asked.
''I don't know man.'' Angel answered.
We could not see that there was traffic officers untill we reached closer.
''Shit!'' Angel exclaimed.
''What is it bro?'' I asked.
I was at the back so i couldn't see the police officers.
''Cops bro.'' Angel responded.
''F*ck and we both took something.'' Bruce said.
''So whats the plan?'' I asked.
''Once the breathriser is given to me, we are doomed.'' Angel said.
''That means we gonna sleep in the cells right?'' Jay asked in a quivering voice.
''No thats not happening.'' Bruce responded.
I could feel her heart throbbing so fast and she began to shiver.
''Hey relax, everything is going to be alright.'' I said to her.
''Like i haven't seen myself spending a night in police cells, that's the worry.'' She said, i could tell from her inntonation she was really scared.
''Jay, quiet! No one is going to prison.'' Shouted April.
We slowly reached the road block. The police officer came through to us.
''Licence and registration please.'' He said.
''Ah....officer, can i just pullover and search for it nicely.'' Angel said while stammering and his hands were on the wheel; he headed for the layby.
He pulled over the vehicle at a layby. When i looked back at the rear windscreen i saw the police officer coming for us. Upon reaching he asked.
''Are you guys been drinking?'' I think he heard the smell of beer.
And almost at the same time we all responded with a huge 'No' sound.
This gave him some sought of hint that chances where very high that we were drunk.
''Can you all please step out of the vehicle.'' He said to us.
'We both then exchanged looks.'
Jasmine was almost ululating because the case seemed to be getting worse. I could see her eyes turned bloodshot. Her heart was beating like a drum. Angel never let go of the wheel and the engine was still running.
Bruce and Suzie had their hands held tight to each other and her head was on his chest. I could see Bridget was startled even though she seemed to be strong but deep down i knew she was scared as well.
''I said move out of the vehicle.'' The Cop said it again, and this time he began raising his voice.
The good part he never had the breatheriser with him, just that moment he looked back and stepped aside of the car resquesting for it, Angel engaged in drive mode the next thing he heard was the tyres screeching and the car was already on the highway he was left in dust. There was some sought of screaming from the girls. I could hear the police officer shouting 'stop! stop! stop' as if that was not too enough; it was too late for him the vehicle had already gone.
Peddle down the car was moving at a high speed, we drove for good 5mins with no signs of the police car chasing us.
''Oh my God!'' Angel screamed.
''what's it this time.'' Bruce asked.
Before Angel could answer. We all heard the police siren wailing. It was now more like we are in a video game.
''Jay!, you can now think of spending a night in the police cells.'' Angel said in a sharp scarely voice as he was busy with the wheel.
She didn't say a word cause she looked back the window and saw that the police car was closing in.
''Man you gotta do shit about it.'' Bruce said to Angel.
''What the hell do you think am doing man?'' Angel responded on his top voice.
Suzie said ''Oh! come on guys, really?, Bruce can you let him concentrate please.''
We found a broken down truck we by passed it and metres away we overtook about 6 vehicles and then joined into some kind of traffic which made it difficult for the Cops to see us. We could hear the siren wailing and see the blue coloured bicon flashing. We were now metres away to reaching the city. Both the sound of the siren and the flashing bicon started fading away.
''Phew; Angel did and moving his right hand across his face while the other one was on the wheel. Jay, did you see that?'' He added trying to sound calm as if everything was nornal.
She couldn't say a word but her face showed some happiness.
''That was good broski.'' Bruce said and tapping him on the shoulder.
''What's up girl, we cool?'' Angel asked April while holding her hands.
''Yeah sure we cool.'' She answered with a panting voice.
Jasmine looked at me and said ''Are you sure they ain't gonna come for us?''
I got hold tight of her hands and made her lean to my chest and told her eveything was now cool.
Chapter Twenty TwoThe text I received changed my mood all of a sudden the food I was enjoying started tasting bitter. That moment I realized that indeed she was the one for me because of how my mood changed without her even saying anything. I got to my feet and started for my car, I could not finish my food. What could have happened to her that made her send me such a text message, I thought to myself. I looked at my wrist watch but time was not with me that I could drive up over to her place.I reached at the workplace and went straight to my office without even saying anything to anyone. As confused as I was I sat on my office chair with my heart beating so fast. I don’t know why I was having an anxiety attack at that moment because I didn’t know what was happening with my girl.“Come in please” I said as I heard a knock on the door.The regional manager walked in; he was wearing a grey suit
Chapter Twenty OneShantel pushed open the door and allowed herself in looking all angry at on her face; she was wearing a light blue pair of jeans and a yellow crop top. Down on her feet she had black flat slippers. Jasmine was seated upright and talking on the phone. April was tapping on her phone with her right hand and biting her nails on her left hand.“Morning girls” she said as she closed the door.“Hey” April responded.“Okay I gotta go Shantel has come” Jasmine said as she hanged up the call. “Hey, how are you?” she added.“I am not good at all” she said and walked towards the bed.“IS there something wrong?” Jasmine asked.“I gotta talk to you two girls. It looks like you are playing a lot with boys” she said.“Wow! This is the strangest thing I have heard today” April came in
Chapter TwentyMy alarm woke me up. Quickly got to my feet and headed for the bathroom to take a shower. Smiles written all over my face because I had the best weekend ever. Got out of the shower, dressed up and almost forgetting to have my breakfast, went down the stairs and realized there was still time for me to even have a perfect breakfast. I went back up stairs to my apartment, had my breakfast and headed for work with all smiles and happiness written all over my face.I reached at the office early than usual. The janitor was surprised to see me because I had to wait a couple of minutes for her to finish cleaning up the office. I was even earlier than my secretary, indeed love is a beautiful thing. Who knew I would be madly in love within a space of seventy two hours.“Good morning madame Gwen?” I said to the lady who was cleaning my office.She was wearing a light blue overalls and black gumboots. On her head she had a
Chapter NineteenApril woke up around eight forty five in the morning; She stretched herself as she got to her feet and headed for the window and pushed it open. It was a beautiful Monday morning, the sun was up and the wind was nicely blowing. She was in her purple night apparel slightly above her knees with white half socks down to her feet. She then started for the door, opened it and moved out of the room and closed the door behind her. She went straight to the kitchen to prepare herself some breakfast. She had her breakfast and went to take a shower. It was now eleven o’clock and Jasmine was still sleeping; April headed for Jasmine’s bedroom to check up on her sister. She opened the door and allowed herself in, Jasmine was fast asleep and had covered herself in the blankets.“Hey Jasmine wake up” April said as she started for the bed.She did not
Chapter Eighteen''Oh yeah, thanks'' she said in a nervous voice as she sat on a single seated.“You are welcome madame” I said.I sat on a couch opposite her so that I could continue staring at her and admiring her beauty. I looked at her face thoroughly and paying so much detail to her facial expressions. Her eyes were fixed primarily on the TV watching the sports highlights. She sat with her legs crossed and holding her handbag on top of her thighs and looking around the room.“Its not quite bad, isn’t it?” I said with a wryly on my face.“Ah um its okay I like it” she responded and cleared her throat.“How come I don’t feel like you do?” I said.“Oh really? I think your instincts have failed you” she replied.“Wow! I didn’t see that coming, but I trust my instincts more than anything” I said.“Good to know
Chapter Seventeen“Did you guys have fun back there?” I asked.“I think the ladies are the ones who enjoyed the most of this trio. Isn’t it girls?” Bruce came in.“Whoa why us? When we both came this side?” Jasmine said.“I know where this is coming from” April said.“Lets hope its not what I am thinking it is” Kimberly said.“What would that be?” Angel came in looking or surprised and wanted to hear it out.“Girl, whatever you’re thinking that’s the case” Shancie said.“Whoa I am now getting lost what are you guys talking about?” I asked.“Him saying that we one the ones who had fun is because of the boat trip” Shancie said.“No! What makes you say that cause I didn’t even bring that up?” Bruce said.“That’s the only thing we did in you
