CHAPTER 6

(DAVE’S POV)
She starred back at me looking as speechless as I felt. What was all this? Why was I just finding out this?
There were a number of things running through my mind but somehow I was tongue tied.
“Excuse me,“ I told her exiting the room as quickly as I could. If it was any other person, I would have exploded at her by now. Maybe even thrown her out, but for some reason, starring into Maggie’s eyes made me slow down a bit. I knew how enraged I could be and I was conscious of startling her.
It irritated me a little bit that she somehow managed to halt my emotions.
I walked past Tyler who was calling my name behind me. I ignored him and went on to the study shutting the door behind me.
I replayed what had just happened, Maggie’s soft voice loud and clear in my head.
After a sigh, I dialed Jeanie’s number.
“Hello?” She said and I could tell I had just woken her up. She sounded very sleepy.
“What the f*****g hell Jeanie?!” I said to her in a very loud and angry whisper. Even though I knew I could not be heard, I was still conscious.
“Mr Wayne?” She murmured and I wished I could reach into the phone and shake her till she was fully awake.
“The f*****g hell Jeanie!!” Those were the only words that could express what I wanted to say to her.
“What’s wrong?” She asked sounding very much confused and a little alert. “Is Maggie okay?” She asked.
“Yes she is very okay. She is also a f*****g virgin!” I said sarcasm evident in my angry voice.
There was a pause
“Why didn’t you tell me your friend is a virgin?” I roared again.
“Sir, would you like to terminate the already signed contract?” Jeanie said sounding more awake.
“What?” I had heard what she said clearly and I wondered if Jeanie was mocking me. She knew that I needed Maggie at this point.
“Well can I go without having s*x? Because especially now I can’t be seen around with other women can I? I have to commit to this fake girlfriend and she happens to be a f*****g virgin!” I say into the phone.
I loved to have a woman beside me. I loved to have a woman with me. I loved having s*x. And we had never discussed the topic particularly but Jeanie I’m sure is well aware of this.
Times when Irene and I were on our on and offs, I got loose to enjoying the company of various beautiful women. It was never to piss her off, it was for my own pleasure.
And with Irene I still had my needs met. Staying with Maggie would mean I would avoid women and all those sort of things till the end of the contract or so.
“You can sir. This contract holds for less than a month.” She reminded me putting on a stern voice.
Even less than a month was a lot for me and Jeanie knew that (I’m positive). But I could not admit to her that it was a long time for us to go.
I gritted my teeth angrily.
Jeanie started speaking “Mr Wayne, I am eager for us to start working towards rebuilding your image and you might have to make some sacrifices. Like maybe staying away-“
“That’s enough. I understand your point.”
I felt a little more annoyed and insulted that Jeanie was insinuating that I could not spend that short period of time (less than a month) away from a woman.
Well it was not a lie was it? But my Ego was bruised.
‘So, are we proceeding to the make over stage?” She whispered into the receiver.
I gritted my teeth again wishing she was here and I could give her one of my glares that made her scurry away.
“Whatever Jeanie!” I said and hung up. I hit one of my fists into my palm.
A virgin? When was the last time I heard about that. The hell I knew! Does that mean she had never been with a man before? Never given a blow job? Maybe Never even kissed a man?
Well I guess there’s one way to find out. I met with Tyler on my way back to the room. He was holding a bag of Doritos and had been on his way to the study.
“Your babe came out to see if you were with me and then she went back to the room.” He reported trailing behind me.
“Thank you Tyler, you can go back to eating all over the couch now.” I said waving my hand over the couch to show the Doritos.
“Her voice is so soft.” Tyler said in a whisper still following me. “Like an Angel. Who is she Dave?”
I sighed as I stop dead in my tracks. “I’m surprised you have not commented on her clothes.” I said.
“Well that’s why I want to know what’s going on.” He added and I sighed again. I knew Tyler, it did not matter if I roared or glared or yelled or screamed, he would stay the same. He was annoying like that. There was no point in me hiding this contract. Especially since he looked like he was going to be around for a while.
“Well I’ll be back out soon.” I said to him. “And then we can talk about everything. Chris, Irene, this lady.”
“Fine. I’ll be waiting.” He said and danced away.
“Idiot.” I murmur.
When I came into the room, I thought Maggie was asleep already because the lights were out. A I contemplated re-exiting the room, the dull lights came on. Maggie was sitting up in bed her eye glasses were off and looking into those eyes suddenly made me tongue tied.
I could not bring myself to ask the questions I had intended on asking.
Her brown hair was loose over her shoulders and she was wearing what looked like a white silk robe draped around her body.
Tyler’s voice came ringing out in my head. “Like an Angel.”
“I’m sorry I’m just telling you.” She spoke up and I could see she was sorry. She looked like she was panicking a bit and trying to stay under control.
“I did say it was negotiable.” I murmured looking away from her eyes for a brief moment.
She looked relieved.
“Negotiable.” I repeated walking slowly to the side of bed she slept on.
She stared at me with those beautiful eyes with an innocent girl look and I wanted to swear at that instant.
When I was standing very close to her, just a few inches apart, she looked away from me shyly. I raised my hand to tilt her chin upwards so she could look directly into my eyes.
Then using the tip of my finger I push aside a strand of her hair gently aside trailing her skin with my fingertips as I did so.
“It’s 3,00 am. You need to go to sleep. Now Is the only time you might ever get to sleep alone.” I whisper to her in a chuckle. “From tonight not so much.”
Her eyes widened and I smiled.
I left the room to join Tyler and tell him all about what happened but when I see him, he’s passed out on that same couch with the Doritos on his chest.
I bring out my phone and take a photo of him.
