Chapter 3 Seeing Red

• “Bum bum bum”
• I woke up abruptly from my sleep to the sound of something or someone hitting the wall in the room besides me . I checked the time and it was 2:18am . Wena was sleeping calmly besides me, I swear there could be an earthquake and she would still be fast asleep, an unbothered Queen. I lay in bed till I realized I was supposed to be alone at home since Sally would be at work by this time.
• “Fuck” I cursed under my breathe and took the closest thing I had to a weapon, the bedside lamp . The noise has stopped so I got my inner spy on , tip toed to the door and opened it as silent as I could , then a huge shadow came out of Sallys room and i struck as high as I could .
• “DAMN!” the supposed burglar said as he collapsed to the ground and I pounded him, hitting as hard as I could.
• “Die you scum bag , die”
• He held my hands and over powered me
• “What the actual fuck is going on here …. “
• I heard Sally’s voice then she turned on the lights
• “I thought you were at work sal “
• “The fuck no, I went to get Tyrone from the airport . I told you he was coming today.”
• I stood up abruptly from the man under me
• “Oh ? Oh my God I’m sorry…bnssnsbbn “
• It was then I realized that they were both naked and I had been untop a naked 6’1 man .I stared at him for a while before I realized what I was doing.
• “Jesus Christ “
• I ran into my room and shut the door. I could feel my cheeks heating cause what I saw was glorious and insane and hoped to erase that image from my imagine. Let me make this clear , this isn’t the first time I’m seeing a naked man but God in heaven it should be a crime to look that sculpted. God really had his favorite I guess !
• That same morning,I hoped that Tyrone had gone to work or something but lo and behold Mr. Adonis was perched on the island nursing his head with an ice pack.
• He had a Top fade cut and scythe-shaped eyebrows. His Roman nose and half-dome cheekbones sat above an oaken jaw. His broad shoulders were part of his burly physique. His black eyes were orb round matching his lightly tanned skin. I could go on and on about …..
• “Hey!”
• I snapped out of it when I noticed he was looking at me.
• “Thinking about hitting me again? Here you could use this one “ he stretched out his hand with a rolling pin.
• Haha so funny
• “I’m so so sorry about that. I swear to God I thought you were a burglar “
• “Well it’s good to know we have a top tier security in he- awww!“
• Before he could finish , Sally had taken a spatula to hit him at his back.
• “Don’t be rude to my cousin, she’s just a baby”
• I could feel his eyes assaulting me
• “Doesn’t look like a baby to me , how old are you?”
• “I’m 20” I said boldly
• “And she’s coming to work in your rest or rant”
• “My what? Work what?”
• “You agreed after last night …. Remember”
• “I don’t know what you’re….. hey you conniving snake !”
• He got down from the island and pounced on Sally. Whatever sexual crime they were having in the middle of the kitchen , I didn’t find out as I took Wena out for a walk around the neighborhood for little shopping.
• I got back around an hour later to meet Sally frolicking around the house in 14 percent clothes.
• “Yaya babe I got some tea about a bachelor party at the club today and I’m tonight’s headliner”
• Dropping Wena and the things I bought
• “Ok?…”
• “You’re coming to work with me “
• “Oh does that mean I got a chance at bar tendi…”
• “Why do you bother? You’re coming to have some fun and there would be some loaded hotties , wink wink .”
• “I’ve never being to a strip club before and i am celibate, zenning my body”
• “You need to get a life babe, you’re still young and your clitoris will disappear. How do you think I met Tyrone” she says while tucking my hair to the back of my ear. “ And we need to do something about your hair.”
• “You know I was actually planning on cutting and changing the color “
• She grins and slaps my shoulder
• “Well why didn’t you say so , what color ? What haircut ? I got pictures in my phone . At a point in your life you need to be open for some change “
• “Woah calm down Sally Winfrey it’s just a haircut I’m not going through the knife .”
• She playful touches my breast
• “Speaking of knife you need to get add some fat into those two pebble of yours “
• “Sal I have the tits of an average American woman , I am good and I definitely don’t need your double Ds you got from granny “
• She pretends to be hurts
• “how dare you oh my ? Chop chop,into the bathroom now!”
• I looked at the mirror with my new dark brown low cut .Sally had miraculously cut my hair to my taste and gave me a white sequin low cut mini dress that showed curves I never realized I had till today. I’ve always been a Jean and tee girl for literally every occasion. Don’t blame me my mother had been the one shopping for me my whole life.
• “You look amazing “ I turned from the mirror to Tyrone gawking at me. If he wasn’t so handsome I would have said he looked stupid.
• “Thank you “ I replied while doing a quick math on how ,why and when he had entered the guest bathroom .
• “I guess you’re going out with Sally”
• “Yes I am, work for her….. night out for me “
• “You know I actually used to frequent there a lot .”
• “That’s how you met Sally , she told me already “
• He grins and his perfect obviously paid for teeth shone like my mothers China.He left the bathroom and I suddenly felt very self conscious . There’s just something off about him….
• “Tanya fucking Chrysanthemum Davis Hawke”
• “Not that middle name” I cover my face in mock Shame.
• “You look like you fell from the sky “
• “Thank you ?”
• “No seriously , God took his time for the Davis girls . When I have your time we are going to have a whole wardrobe change , right now we have to move”
• I left Wena to the care of Tyrone and we zoomed off in Sallys red Ford F to Palazios Cabaret.
