Just for Tonight

A beep on her phone twice, Marietta got up from her bed slowly. That ring only meant one thing this early. She had been accepted. Clanking with her high heels downstairs dressed up already,she added finishing touches to her hair when she saw her parents at the dining table. "Young lady, where are you off to?. " Mr Davis asked. Marietta stopped. She knew they were obviously against her line of work. Only if they had not been indebted to that bastard. She would have never been in this cranky situation. "I have to be at the Bells hotel. They need me as a waitress there and I have to be there." "Marie, I and your dad needs to be at the conference today." "And?..You and I know I have got things to do and I got my life to live. Do you have to go to the conference?. " She asked as she shrugged off her shoulders. "Marietta, you don't speak to your father that way. We are doing this for you two and you've got to understand us. Just be home early so he wouldn't be worried." Her mother,Mrs Davis spoke softly. "Alright mum. Just notify Jennifer about him being here and that would be fine. I will be home as soon as I can. Make sure you do call me when you get there." She grabbed her bag. "Sure we will." Without a last look at her dad, she walked out. Mr Davis sighed and sat. The emails on his laptop flashed in his memory and his expression changed. "What was the last email about?. Did you get to read it?." Mrs Davis asked. "Do Marie know about the frequent emails sent?. Have you told her everything?. " Mrs Davis threw a glare at him."Told her everything?. How should I be the one to explain to our daughter when you are the one who got us into this mess in the first place?. Do you think she would even sit and listen to us?!. Of course not. You and I know we lied about the conference. You had better find a way out of this sooner." She turned to leave. "And where do you think you are going to?. You are not exempted in this. We need to sit and think of a way to maneuver this bastards. How could I get that large sum of money?. Just how?. " "You can ask yourself that but make sure my kids aren't in danger because of this. Make sure of that. Make sure Ramsey isn't in danger because of this!. " Mrs Davis fumed and left. Meanwhile, Ramsey was watching. . . . . "Thank you for your time. My company will get back to you." Delson said and he closed up his laptop when his mother walked in. His secretary followed after. "I am so sorry sir. I tried to tell her that you were on an important call." Brenda said. Delson waved a hand." Get back to work. I was done before she walked in." Brenda nodded and walked out. Mrs Williams sat,glaring daggers at her son already. "Are you avoiding me deliberately because of Amanda's issue?. " Delson looked away. He could remember that cocktail party vividly. He was glad his mum knew the truth behind that snitch already. "Mum,i am not avoiding you because of any issue. You could have waited till when I am home. You know how I take things officially here." "Including your mother?. Delson,you will be 30 in two days time. Why don't you make the Williams family happy this time?. You aren't getting any younger. You are the heir. The media wouldnt stop spreading rumours!. " "Mum, can we just stop talking about this for a while?. This is my life and as you've said, I am not any younger so I know what I want for myself,alright?. Besides, you should be focusing more on Claire than I." "More of a reason why you should get your acts together because your sister is married and she is even ready to have her second child now. Does this have to do with Marie again?. " At that name, Delson sprang up from where he sat."Mum!... I don't want to talk about this!. Do you want me to leave this place for you?!. Alright. If that's what you want." He began to walk away when she held him back. "Delson,can you just make me happy?. People are talking. Rumours are flying round day after day because you are a media sensation. You can't afford to act carelessly anymore. I am sure that Marie..." He yanked her hands off him."I will think about it." "Is that your way of walking me out of your office?." She asked, knowing the son whom she bore. His lines were always few when he doesn't want the conversation anymore. "Whatever it meant to you.I will think about it, Satisfied?." With a grim smile on her face,she dropped a magazine she brought. "Whats this for?." He asked. "Well, I told Dan to get me the list of all the pretty and gorgeous ladies that befits your status and here they are. Just choose one out of them and leave the rest to me. Understood?." "Mum, are you this desperate to get me someone so quickly?." Mrs Williams laughed."You can't just imagine. See you later,son." She patted him and walked out. * Different blaring sounds, screams heard, A man is seen puffing out smoke from his nostrils as he grinned at the unread emails before him. "Are the boys set already?. This man must know that he can't get to play with us and go Scot free." "Are you including his kids too?. They know nothing about this." One of the boys spoke up. "Tim, I know you will always be the one standing up for these useless people. What if they know about us already?." Another, Theo asked. The Man got up from where he was and everywhere went silent. "Theo, Kill them...all."
