I caress my lips and face, reminiscing about the steaming nights I spent with Kaiden. Was it last night or the night before last night or the two other nights before the last? I am really sleeping with THE Kaiden Kross. Sometimes I don't know what is wrong with me. One moment I dread him and the other he makes me go crazy for his touch.
"Trisha, I have been sitting there for a while now. Where are the drinks?" Stacey said, pointing to the table for two on the left side of the bar. Her dark skin was glowing as always under the blue lights in the bar. Her V-shaped neck red dress exposed some of her cleavage and she rested her hair to cover part of it. She is always smoking hot for a single lady. Her glare was very demeaning.
We had to drink off the stress of the day because we had visits from the higher ups. Every department was at their game today. They were all up and doing. I could feel Stacey too also has her own share of stress.
"Oh!!" I jerked off, cleaning the drool off my face, after being in my head for a while. "Two drinks please." I said to the bartender. "Emm..What drink did you say you want?" I said, staring back at her glaring look. I was very puzzled and lost, and she could see it.
"Were you drooling?" She asked with her devious smile. I know that look.
"Is it the bartender? I know right, he is smoking hot for a bartender. He should work as a gym instructor with those." She spilled her nonsense as usual, staring at the bartender and his arms.
"What? Ewww! Snap out of it Stacey," I said, smacking her shoulder.
"Let's hope you don't get abducted by hot muscular men," I said, getting the drink from the bartender while Stacey drooled over him.
"At least I got lucky," she said as we walked back to our table.
Stacey couldn't just take her eyes off the bartender, she almost bumped her head on the wall if it wasn't for me.
"So what have you been up to these days? You've been so busy. Wonder why and how you made time for a girl's night out tonight," Stacey asked, and I almost choked on my drink.
"What do you mean by busy? I am always here for you." I said, stirring my drink with my straw. I know that I have been busy having fun with Kaiden Kross and I haven't told my best friend yet. I feel so bad about it. Kaiden compelled me to keep it a secret and I agreed.
"Woah!! Look at the time, girl. It's getting late already. We need to go." I said as I looked at the time on my phone and I sucked my drink down my throat.
How time flies!!
I didn't want to talk about any of it with Stacey yet. I had to end the discussion, plus, it was running late. It isn't safe to be in a bar at 11 pm for two young and eligible ladies, is it?
"Ok let's go", Stacey said a bit tipsy. She fell a couple of times before I could get her to stand up straight.
Now I have to take her home myself.
"We just had one drink, Stacey, one," I said, breathing heavily because I was already exhausted from it, and we hadn't gotten to the door yet. She has also gained a lot of weight too.
After many staggerings later, we finally got outside. I shook her off me, and she fell on the floor. I left her groaning on the floor as I looked for a taxi to take her home.
I got her a taxi for her a few minutes later. "Please take her to Mart Street, the second building on the left block. She will take it from there." The taxi driver nodded.
"Thank you girl, see you at work tomorrow," she said, trying to gather her every being inside the car. She mumbled some other words which I couldn't hear.
Finally, that was settled.
**********
Home sweet home!
Now I can finally rest after a long day of work. Good thing Kaiden had to cancel our meeting tonight because of a meeting at the office.
I heaved a sign.
"Mama Maggie!!!", I screamed out of shock as I opened the door to my apartment, not considering the time of night at which I screamed.
I got rubbed!!
I entered every room in my apartment to find that my stuffs were not around. My clothes were gone too.
How will I begin? The money I have at this moment can only take me a few days.
I began to think of all the people I had offended that would really do this to me. Mama Maggie tottered out of her own part of the house which was besides mine.
"How could you do this to me Ma? I have been here for a year now. Is this how you repay me? I know my rent is due, and I also remembered tell you that I had the money with me. I have considered you a mother to me. How could you do this?" I said, busting out in tears because I didn't understand the present situation I was in.
I have a stressful day at work and I come back to see my house empty.
"Oh dear, I really don't know what you are talking about", Mama Maggie said. I could see the waves in her forehead as they squeezed, her cheeks sagging more than usual in pity.
Mama Maggie is an old gray-haired lady in her late 60s. Her back is slightly hunched due to old age, and she also has this long brown stick that aids in her walk and to scold her grandchildren when they come to visit. Her walking pace is usually slow, and only the patient once can wait on her. She looks much younger from afar until she is at arms length.
"No child, I am really sorry you feel that way", she said with her soft and calm voice that made me melt, just like always.
"He didn't tell you?", she asked.
"Who?"
"It's that handsome young man they talk about in the papers. My darling daughter should know him, let me call her out..."
"Oh no ma. I will figure it out", I cut her short.
"You didn't tell Mama Maggie that have finally gotten yourself a man", she said give me a wink. Her brown half broken teeth brightened as she smiled.
"No, He is not my man", I scoffed.
"Did he tell you where he took all my stuffs to?"
"He didn't say much, he just paid your rent for the remaining part of the year...But he mentioned something about Kingston Mansion to get your stuff"
Kaiden Kross!!!
