In less than an hour, a knock was heard on the door. Two police officers stood at the entrance when Andrew pushed the door open, his face contouring into a frown."You are under arrest for assault," one of the police officers with the name tag Devin said while holding out his badge. Andrew was unaffected."I don't feel like I'm under arrest. Who is pressing the charges?" He asked like an iceberg. Bismark appeared from behind them, a smirk on the corner of his lips. "Oh," Andrew hummed, pressed a number on his phone, spoke a few words, and gave the phone to the police officer. He watched the man's face turn from red to indigo. "Sorry sir, we won't bother you again," Devin said and gave him back his phone. He looked like he received a punch in the face. The call was from his superior. The smirk on Bismark's face disappeared, as he looked confused and upset."Hey, you moron. He assaulted me so why aren't you arresting him?""Do it yourself," Devin calmly said and began walking away with
Susan was sending a report to her direct boss via email when Mrs Smith stepped into her office, taking a seat in front of her. Susan didn't want to hear anymore about the increment but accorded the woman her utmost respect by giving her the listening ear. "Susan, there was a review of all staff in our branch last week and the report from the appraisals we did sent to the head office. I was queried for being biased because the directors from there thought you haven't been treated fairly." The woman paused, taking in her facial expressions but Susan showed none, just listening attentively. She has had great admiration for her immediate boss because he was very respectable. He never hit on any girl in the office, rather taking his job seriously, though a greater portion was always done by Susan but she felt it helped her to improve and never complained. She loved her job. "But Mr Grant is a good man and does his job well." "That's true but measuring by performance, you are doin
When Andrew stepped out of Susan's bedroom, she swallowed a lump in her throat, while she wondered if keeping a guy as attractive as Andrew in her house was a wise thing to do. He looked ravishing in the white shirt and black pair of trousers she picked for him. She couldn't help it when the words left her mouth, "You look good." "Thank you very much for buying all that stuff for me," Andrew genuinely said. It was great having someone who wasn't his mum, dad, or Greg care for him so much. Susan didn't want his gratitude to get inside her head. She made a promise and was bound to keep it. "You are working for it, remember? No need to thank me." Andrew was still grateful. The things she bought for him were expensive but not the luxury brands he usually patronized yet, the fact that it was from Susan felt like it was the best luxury brand he ever wore. "So where are we going?" "It's a surprise but I bet you'll love it," Susan said and went to freshen up before changing from her w
The night couldn't get worse for Andrew, as he swirled his neck to the right, gazing at the woman who's attention was rather focused on Susan when she pulled a chair and sat beside them, legs crossed. Her charcoal black silky hair was held in a ponytail and she wore a black luxurious dress that gave her an elegant look. Her lips glowed with a coat of lip gloss and she looked pretty. It seemed that Andrew had a gross attraction to beautiful things. Among the women he tested, this woman was the richest among them yet the most stingy to him. Susan was uncomfortable with the woman's guts, wondering what gave her the audacity to join them. The woman accessed Susan and nodded her head appreciatively, before facing Andrew, her Caramel eyes gazing mockingly at him. "Who is she, Andrew? Another me?" She asked, clasping her hands together. "Andrew, what is she talking about?" Susan was getting anxious. She was smart enough to crack the meaning of the woman's words. Andrew was either a
When Susan got home that night, she was amazed by what was waiting for her. "I made you a banana punch," Andrew announced as a form of welcome. Susan sulked. Andrew's first attempt with any food was terrible. Andrew smiled. He could understand her concern without asking. "This time, I took my lessons from youtube, which is more practical so you will love it." He was grinning like a little boy wanting to please his mother. This side of him, he was only revealing to Susan. He wanted her to be comfortable around him. All Susan wanted to do was hug him and tell him everything that happened within the day but thought against it after recalling what happened last night. The lines had already been drawn and she wasn't going to overstep her boundaries. "Thanks, I'm sorry I overreacted last night." Andrew frowned slightly. Susan was too kind hearted. Everything that transpired was his fault but here she was apologizing to a man she gave shelter. "You have every right to behave the way you di
Bismark saw vividly through Andrew's plan. "You want to humiliate me.""Unfortunately yes, just as you did to her," Andrew was blunt. Susan was forgiving but not him. Bismark was now uneasy. He should have done his homework well and tried to get to know the man beside Susan. How would he take care of his sponge wife if he lost everything? "This is between me and Susan. My wife wasn't there when I offended her so let me just apologize to her. You don't have to involve my wife." Bismark was now pleading. Andrew wanted to degrade him in front of his wife. How heartless could he be? "I have given you my terms, take it or leave it," Andrew finalized coldly. He wanted to redeem Susan's image in the face of her exes. As for himself, he had everything planned on how to get revenge on all the women who had humiliated him but his only mission now was to win Susan's heart. Bismark wasn't completely foolish. There was something in it for Andrew too and he was going to hang on to it. "I won't an
Two weeks passed like the wind and the pair lived peacefully. Susan had gotten used to Andrews' presence, expecting him to be the first person she saw when she woke up and the last person she saw before going to bed. His cooking had also improved and he never did anything to irritate her or aggravate her germaphobe. When he was certain that Susan was asleep, he would call Greg for an update on everything that happened in the company. It was as if Andrew knew her better than she knew herself, changing the sheets on time and making her small apartment spotlessly clean. Susan was so used to his presence that she began to fear. What if he left her? What if things got better for him and he decided to go? Or what if he got a girlfriend? Will she be able to watch him leave? She couldn't help being greedy and not encouraging him to get a job anymore. Their life was perfect this way and nothing else mattered. She felt attracted to him but didn't have a hold on him and besides, he was just her
Andrew wasn't going to take the words of an intoxicated woman seriously. He placed her gently on the bed and said softly, "you are drunk Susan." His eyes were darkened with lust. Susan was a temptress. Her vulnerable form made her so sexy and enticing. Susan might be drowsy but her ears were active. "I love you, Andrew. I've been thinking about it for some time now," she confessed in a groggy voice. Her eyes were barely stable. Andrew was stunned for a moment. Should he confess his feelings? She was drunk anyway and would forget everything in the morning. "I love you too Susan. I would have loved for us to have this conversation when you weren't drunk." "I'm not drunk," she said groggily, holding him so tight that he couldn't escape. No drunk person ever admitted to being drunk and it was the same for her. "Of course you are. Get some sleep." As soon as Andrew freed himself, she clutch to him again,""Kiss me, Andy, take me again as our first night." Andrew should be happy but he
