His Insane Lust

2

I groaned and got up to the sound of snoring Oliver, I looked on my right side and saw that Ancy was still asleep, she looks like an angel when she is sleeping, so beautifully. There was a long day ahead, especially a slow morning too. I slowly made my way downstairs, Oliver was awake, for a wonder he is not a morning person, he was sipping whiskey by the bottle, the holiday spirit must be hitting him hard I thought, I made some scrambled egg for Ancy and myself. She like scrambled egg, she says that eating a boiled egg or even an egg pouch makes her feel like she isn't taking a life of an organism, it’s funny but cute in her way. "Novah, can you make a peanut butter sandwich for me please" Oliver came around asking. "Sure, without the jellies of course !"I said, humming a song. "Hey... where were you last night, I stayed up late waiting for you " Ancy said, walking up to me and yawning in the process. " firstly 7 pm isn't late, and I got late because I got stuck up with work and then I went to get you gummy bears from the candy shop, so... do you want them ?"I asked wiggling my eyebrows."Don't try to hide from me" she said, "you know I don't like it when you stay out longer, it's not safe out! , was Bennett with you?" She asked pouting. "No he had some work so he left early!, don't worry Ancy, I am never gonna leave your side okay," I said handing her, her scrambled egg and toast. "Now finish up your breakfast and get dressed okay, we need to get you to school." I said that's when my phone rang, "Hey Bennett! Yah okay", and we got off the phone. "was that Bennett?" Ancy asked, "again!" I replied " think of the devil and the devils here" we both giggled at that, " no he isn't a devil he is strong and honorable," she said and ran back up. Ancy has this talent where she knows what a person's name means and sometimes she judges people based on it. It has its perks, but I find it slightly creepy. I need to gear up for this busy day. I put on a black button-up shirt with black jeans, which I ripped after I tore it slightly when I got tripped and fell, Bennett had called to ask if he could drop Ancy to school, so I get 15mins to myself. I don't know what I would have done if Bennett was not there. I went straight to the typing center I made sure I took a very hard coffee, I didn't want to do more errors at this and feel like I owe the manager or something. I do feel like I owe people a lot. Everyone who gets into my life has always helped me get through my situation with Oliver and taking care of Ancy.

Especially the boutique lady, she always gives Ancy a dress, that she has designed her herself, every year on her birthday. And garage people, they don't do much since they don't earn much, they hardly get customers but yet they provide me lift if I need it. Today also, Bennett didn't show up at the center, so I was all on my own, thank the Lord's I had packed a peanut butter sandwich for myself too, or else I would be dieing hungry. After this, I had planned on checking at the grocery store once to just find out if they had any leftovers, so I could give the family a feast which I was supposed to give yesterday. Not that I cook well but I love to see people do it, I know that's mean but I will learn too in the process. When I reached the grocery store, they told me that they had some leftover bacon and fish, I was elated, that can make a really good meal. It wasn't enough for but we can manage.., we always do. After I left the items I bought at home I walked myself to the boutique, I called Bannett on the way requesting him to cook the meal for the night. He sweetly agreed, he never really denies me anything in the first place."Hello! Miss Crystal," I greeted with a smile, she returned me the smile. "How were you feast yesterday? I hope Ancy and you all enjoyed I was wanted to ring you but you know the memory problem I won't even remember by evening if you came for work today or not, It getting worst day by day ." She said sadly.

She looked like a typical granny with her specs drooping down her noes and wrinkled face, but she was a very sweet person she always has been."Aren't you getting any medication for it ?!" I asked with concern. "Yes dear, I am taking homeopathy for it but you know how slowly that works," she said. "Yah I have heard about it !" "But that does not allow you to take advantage of my situation and not come okay" she warned me. "Yes of course never, " I said shaking my head ."It's a festive holiday season, and customers are booming, so let's get to work okay!" She said walking back to her desk. And like on Que a customer entered, she was wearing a catchy long red coat, she started going through the set of clothes, this is where I play my role, I went up to her, "A very good afternoon Ma'am may I help you with anything, what would you be looking for today?"I asked with a fake smile plastered on my face. "I was looking for some nightgowns, you know of the golden or silver types.!" She said moving her hands up and down. "Sure, come this way" getting best at my politeness. While she intensely stared at me. That's weird. I showed her a section of dresses that were just what she asked for plus their prices were double and half my salary. The boring part was waiting for the customers to decide whether they liked it not. Once the red coat lady was done and gone. Many other customers came by, some bought some did their typical weekend window shopping. But the profit for the day was satisfactory. Once I was done at the boutique. I directly went for the garage, this was the most relaxing job but it had its flaws I got paid less. But I always enjoyed my time here. Many sporty cars and bikes just come by and go, and I love seeing them. I was halfway through cleaning up some tightening instruments when I got a call, it was a home landline. "Hey", "Novah..when Are you gonna come home its already six" Ancy whined from the other side. She is always whining. But I loved her. "Yah I am coming just 20 minutes okay," I said assuring her. "Hurry up, I will finish your bacon or else, "she said giggling. Aww she was happy that's what I want anyway. "oh really cause I am already running on my way, I can smell some fish too ha?!" I said."Yah Bennett cooks yum" Ancy cried. "Yes I know, I will be their okay bye!" I hung up. I finished up all my work early than time, while I was about to head home I saw a limo stop by and the same red coat women from the boutique got down seemed like nothing had happened to the car. Since I already had my mouth salivating I didn't bother giving it a second thought and started the long road to home. I entered the house and the smell entered my nostrils, some really good foods getting cooked. I quickly got changed and came back down to see if Bennett needed any help. "Where is Oliver ?" I asked Ancy, she was sitting on his sofa, that isn't his to be exact but he was always lying their if not on his wheelchair "he is talking to someone on the call." , "oh I never knew he used the phone at all".I muttered" so ready to dine!" Asked Ben getting super excited. "We know, we know Ben, how wonderfully you cook, "I said rolling my eyes. He was swaying his butt to some salsa song he had played in his button phone and flipping the pan on and off ."Oh, I didn't know, we had that pan. "I exclaimed sitting next to Ancy on the sofa. "Oh that isn't yours I mean you could keep it if u want, I just got it from home, though we would need it to complete my excellent recipe " he winked."And even that cringe-worthy apron ur wearing. Ancy giggled at that. I helped Ben set the table. After we were done arguing and fighting over where to place what, we finally settled for whatever Ancy said. I went around to call Oliver. He must be up to something, I have never seen him that busy on the phone. "Oliver dinners ready," I said peeping into his little space. "I will have later," he said. We had our meal together and Ben offered us a dessert of cup jellies, which was very sweet of him but again I don't like it when he does so much for us, -

 I feel like we owe him more and more. I put Ancy to bed and we had a sweet little conversation, where she told me how she would repay all that Ben has been doing for us once she becomes a doctor. Her aim. "I like him," Ancy said smiling, "I like him too, "I said, returning her smile. She sprang up from her bed and starting clapping her hands together and doing some stupid fist bumps in the air, she must have seen someone do that at college, she should start learning some contents too. " I always knew you and Ben had that thing!" She said looking directly at me. " wait no, no I didn't mean that, I have never looked upon him as anything more than a friend." I exclaimed. "Now stop getting the springs out of this 90s mattress ".I put her back to sleep for the second time and came downstairs to find Bennett waiting for me, "you're going home or something." I asked. "Well, do you want me too?." He said and gave a small laugh. " well I didn't mean to say that     you know what I

meant." What's up with people assuming things nowadays. I went and sat next to him. " I have got some beer too, do you want to take the terrace.?".."yeah I could use some of the fresh air". It was not exactly a terrace that we had. You just had to go through that window in our room upstairs and you will find a rooftop. It was a nice place to just sit around and think through everything. Thought the surface is still hot and is just cooling down, that's because of the blazing sun throughout the day. We opened the beer and sipped it. It was a comfortable silence. Life was normal and beautifully taking its turns on its road, the only thing that made it possible for us to live through this is the people we live with or the ones we have around. They are like constant support. I heard a sound and looked over our room window, if something was wrong, it was just the flapping wind."Thanks" I said looking towards Ben, he looked funny. I didn't mean his clothing but the way he was closing his eyes and sipping beer taking the most amount of pleasure of the situation he could. " it's okay the beer was just 50 senses", " oh thanks for that too but I meant for everything that you have done. The cooking, getting Ancy to school, the jobs that you have got me for a living"

he looked at me, right through my eyes, I felt so comfortable with him, he is too nice to be human. He was so close to me, he leaned, our lips touched. He deserved it, I suddenly I jerked back, somethings not right, this isn't right, " are you fine?" He asked I could see the concern in his eyes in the dim street light. " yeah I am, I am sorry I just don't want to jeopardize our friendship, I have a lot to take care off. I hope you understand." I said and looked down,. When I saw him again he looked hurt, he turned it up to smile and covered it up, then he nodded and said: "I am sure you have a lot to take care of, what's new      and

what's to come as well." He got up then walked back the way we came. I felt so guilty, I shouldn't have led him on and just left him hanging that way, I was being so not nice to him even after all that he has done for me for us. But I meant what told I told him, my life's on such a verge that there is no space for          For this relationship. I ain't interested in all that of

a boys sort of stuff, not that I like girls like that no, no way but I don't have time for it. If not now maybe someday, I will give this relationship a thought, but for that to happen Ben should stay till that day, the same way he is like this day, just like how Ancy says strong and honorable. I think generous and ever-loving should have been the real meaning of his name. The beers got into my head, I am just blabbering booty boo.

......I woke up to a sore back and the Sun hitting my face. I must have dozed off last night, s**t   I must be late for work and Ancy oh s**t Ancy

did she even get up, I hurried my way through the window?

She was sound sleeping,      man I screwed up, one of the reasons I don't drink on any weekdays. "Get up! Ancy wakes up your 20 mins late and there is no limo coming to take your to school you have to walk all the way there!" I said. Shaking her is the last thing on my list when it comes to wake her, she gets deaf in yo world when she sleeps. The only way to wake up the Ancy Nancy beauty shot did I come up with that. I pinched her near her

elbow a d their she was up rubbing her eyes with the crunched face. " brush up and get ready" I shouted scolded. It's my fault to tell you the truth but I need to get her to school. We made ourselves downstairs and I ran to the kitchen to give her a quick breakfast. I was wondering how was I gonna face Bennett the whole day, I knew he would come around sometime, I just wasn't sure how to tell him, how guilty I was. I boiled the milk and poured it down her yellow cup. Ahhh the milk splashed on my hands it was hot man, ouch, sometimes I wish I was dead pool from the movie dead pool. He never dies-- " NOVAHH!!" Ancy screams she was drumming towards me pointing towards the sofa, tears streaming down her face. " Oliver....h..he is their " I couldn't understand so I went their myself. I felt like someone had pulled my heart out of me, my body went numb, I knew Ancy was shaking my hands, she was sobbing. Just when I thought life was giving me its best, Oliver was laying down still on the sofa. His chest wasn't falling up and down, I had never seen a person so still. Blood was oozing out his nose, his chest was covered with dry blood. Oliver's dead, my father's

death.
