The Game of Revenge

So, this news can't wait till tomorrow?”

"But Ma_"

"So, this news can't wait till tomorrow?”

"Ma, I'm just trying to get your mind prepared" Amara said

"Prepared for a mere fashion runway?You know what? I am definitely not going anywhere" Laura said as she switched on the TV with the remote in her had

"Wow, that means I would be your representative" Amara said excitedly.

"Suit yourself" Laura said and focused on the Television.

"I'm gonna wear a versache, a..." Amara blabbed on what she was going to wear.

Laura's phone's ringtone shut her up. Its Emi, Emi a mutual friend of hers and the other girls. She is a big time wanna be

"Hi Emi."

"Hey Laura. Its been a while"

"Pretty long while"

"How's your family?"

"Very Good. Yours"

"Same. Erm I just wanted to invite you for a my birthday party. Its actually a small birthday party at the club tonight"

Sincerely she didn't want to go "Emi_"

"Please Laura I will be honoured if you can make it. Please, I know you're married and I respect that, I can talk to your husband if you_"

"Its Fine. I will attend"

"Thank you so much Laura. Its at Flames bar, lekki phase two. Nine pm"

"No problem."

"See you. Bye" the excited Emi said

Laura heaved a big sigh immediately the call got disconnected.

"Ma, who was_"

Suddenly the lights went off. The whole house became so dark.

When did this one start

"Ahhhhhhhh. I hate the dark!!!" Amara screamed and hugged her boss tightly

"Shut up and get your hands off me" Laura yelled at her silly PA "Get the light on your cell phone on"

"Cell Phone? Which light?" The frightened Amara asked

"Amara!"

"Oh yes. You mean the torchlight" she picked up her Phone and on the light. "Better" she said

"Musa! Musa!" Laura called out to the housekeeper who ran out to her immediately, holding a bright lamp.

"Yes Ma"

"Whats with the light?"

"I think its a fault from the fusebox." Musa said

"The Electrician?"

"I have been trying to call him but_" Musa was cut off by Phil who was coming down stairs

"Musa, whats wrong with the light?" Phil asked. Phil was shirtless, he wa just on a loosed Jeans. Geez, Laura swore her husband looked damn sexy on that jeans.

"Sir, I think its a fault from the fusebox"

"Get the electrician"

"That was exactly what I was telling Ma'am, I have tried reaching him but its not connecting"

Phil sighed "Get the lamp lets check it out" Phil said to the house keeper who did as he was told and they left to check it out

"Seriously Ma, Mr Phil is super sexy. His hot body, his chest, his_"Amara had to stop her daydreaming after seeing her Mistress's face reaction

"I'm sorry Ma. Its just a slip of the tongue"

"You should put that tongue of yours together" Laura said to her talkative PA

"Yes Ma I would but I just can't help but wonder why you would have issues with such a caring, hansome, sexy_"

"Amara! One more word from you and I will kick your bloody ass out of here" Laura said angrily. What is wrong with everyone today? First it was her friends, now its her PA. Is it the first time they were seeing Phil? And why were the compliments having such great effects on her?

"I'm sorry Ma. I won't say any thing" she pinned her lips with her fingers.

"Get that light of yours lets go check what they're doing" Laura said and they left to check on Phil and Musa.

They got into the control room and what behold Laura's eyes was...... "Philip, what on earth do you think you're doing?" She yelled. Her oversabi husband has now turned into an electrician.. He was on stool, stupidly using pliers and co to connect and disconnect wires.

He ignored her "Musa, pass the screwdrivers"

Musa checked in the toolbox and found nothing "I think I left it, excuse me let me go get it" he handed Amara the lamp and left to get the screwdriver. Amara happily took the lamp from Musa, what an amazing sight to watch while holding the lamp. Just keep staring at the Greek God in front of her. His low jeans which was st slightly below his waist, the sweat that's on his body that made his body shiny, that masculine scent from him, Gosh, its driving her crazy.

"Erm Amara, keep the light steady, I can't see properly" Phil said to the Lady who kept pointing the lights at different angles

"Oh Sorry"

Laura noticed the drooling. Amara was definitely fantatizing on something, just smiling unneccesary.

"Amara, hand it here. You can leave" she said to her stupid secretary

"But Ma, I am not complaining oh"

"Give it here and Get Out!"

Amara reluctantly handed it over and left sulking. This her Boss sef, Joy killer.

"If you wanna hold that, then you better hold it well" Phil said to his wife as he fixed the disconnected wires

"What do you think you are doing? Since when did you decide to become an electrician"

"Today" he said in an annoying manner and it really pissed Laura off

"You do know that you aren't even putting on gloves. You could get electricuted"

"Stop acting as if you care. You want me dead, isn't that what you want?"

"Even if I want you dead, definitely not in my house"

'That means she actually wants to see me dead oneday'Phil thought

'What does he think I am. A beast that goes around killing people?' Laura thought to herself.

"Sir, here it is" Musa handed Phil the screw driver.

"Here" Laura handed Musa the lamp "lets see how you do it now. You should have just waited for the Electrician or called one of the guards"

It wasn't up to a minute and Wow the light came up.

"You're such a genius Boss" Musa said

"So, you were saying?" Phil asked Laura in an annoying manner as he jumbed down the stool.

Shamefully, she rolled her eyes at him and walked out. He laughed softly at her reaction.

Just as he was about to leave the CR His phone rang "Yes Chuks?"

"How far?" Chuks asked

"Doing okay. Whats up?"

"So we were planning on clubbing tonight"

"Who goes clubbing on a wednesday? Its going to be boring"

"Not so boring. Lets chill a little, you don't go to work anymore, I am on leave tomorrow and Kay doesn't have a work yet"

"Is Kay coming?"

"I'm gonna force him. Who knows he might meet his wife there"

Phil laughed. "You're crazy"

"Its true. So are you coming?"

"Cool, I'll just freshen up"

"I'll send you the address"

....................

"Chuks is really crazy, he is dancing like a mad man" Kay laughed at chuks dance moves. Kay and Phil were sitted at the bar, looking at the dance floor while their friend Chuks was busy on the dance floor. He has danced with almost all the ladies in the club. The club was not so full. Just a few people dancing to the sound of the music coming from the Dj.

"Did he by any chance hit a big deal?" Phil asked Kay. Chuks was in such a happy mood. Something must be up.

"I don't know" Kay said and they both laughed. Phil turned back and faced the bar, Kay did so too.

"So Man, how are things going on with you and your wife?"Kay asked

Phil sipped his cocktail "Just the way we have been this past month"

Kay sighed. "Do you wanna work things out?"

"Work things out? Its not possible. There is no love anymore"

"From you or your wife?"

"She doesn't love me and she has made that clear" He took another sip of his cocktail. Kay had refused to have one, he was okay with his bottle water.

"And you? Do you still love her?"

Does he still love her? After all she did? Is it right for him to still love her, after what she did to his Mum? Not right at all.

He gulped down his cocktail and pushed it to the barman for more "Kay, lets just change the topic."

"Fine" Kay saw so much emotional stress in his friend's eyes, he does not want to increase it. Even after what His wife did to him, he knew Phil still felt something for her.

Phil took his drink and swinged the stool back to face the dancefloor, Chuks was still dancing so hard with a lady. That lady looked familiar.

"I know that lady" Phil said to Kay

"One of your past girlfriends?" He joked

"Nope. I saw her.... Yes, that's Laura's friend"

That was Ose, seriously having a good time with Chuks

"Your wife's friend?"

"Yeah"

"It seems Chuks is getting along with her" kay said

"I pray he doesn't. Her friends are scums" Phil said and they laughed. Phil swinged back to the bar

"Shouldn't you be searching for a wife here?" He teased Kay

"Haha, When the time is right God will direct me to my wife. No matter where the place is"

"Impressive. So found any Job yet?"

"Nope. But sent a few applications to some companies"

"I could have helped but you_"

"Come on Man. No worries." Kay sighed. He gulped in some water "You know, I used to think that the world was just a bed of roses, but Bro, when I got to Jail, I changed that mentality. Life dealt with me. I felt like i was the most hated prisoner. Some times, i felt like escaping from jail or worse commiting sucide" he smiled at the stupid thought he used to have "But when gave my life to Christ, I began seeing positive changes in my life. Life became really sweet and for a moment I thanked God that I was caught. Cause if I wasn't arrested I won't be the changed man I am"

Phil nodded. His friend was totally a different person "Sincerely I like this new you. Its better than your old you"

"Thanks" Kay smiled at his friend

"Your old you would have danced with all the girls here, even buy_" Phil was stopped by the hand that tapped him.

He turned. Its Chuks "Tired of dancing?"

"Phil, guess who I just saw here" Chuks said

"I am not in for guessing. Who is it?" Phil sipped his drink. Chuks must have probably seen that stupid Tony or someone else.

"It's Laura. "

"Where?" Phil asked curiously. What could Laura be doing here?

"There" Chuks pointed to the right corner where she we sitted on the sofa with a drink on her hand. She wore a blue off shoulder dress that was a little above her knew. A man was sitted beside her talking to her.

"Who cares?" Phil hissed and frowned

"She's came to have some fun" Chuks said and the next thing he was dragged out by one of his female flings.

"Phil is that really your wife? She is really beautiful" Kay said

Phil ignored him and kept on drinking his cocktail, this time he sipped it every second

"Its obvious that guy is trying to hit on your wife and you're just sitted here" Kay said to his friend whom he didn't understand his mood anymore. There was a big frown on his face and he kept on stuffing himself with the cocktail.

"Phil?"

He drank up the cocktail in a go and this time requested for a shot of whiskey.

Kay smiled to himself. He knew hus friend was jealous, why won't he, that guy was flirting with his wife.

"Philip?"

"Its her life man! Let her do what she pleases" Phil said angrily. 'Its gotten to the extent she now flirts with men even in public'

"Fine." Kay said and stopped. But every second Phil just keeps stealing glances at her direction as if watching for a wrong move.

Laura who had too much to drink was talking to this Guy who was sitted beside her. The birthday was over and its time for partying and this partying thing was not just working for her, even when its a wednesday and its not filled up yet she still didn't feel the vibes. She kept drinking her wine and had exceeded her normal two glasses to the third one, she was getting a bit tipsy. Then this Dude walked up to her, telling her nonesence. 'Normal boys line'. Suddenly, he placed his hand on her bare thigh. Probably its just a mistake, she pushed his hand back and then he did it again, another mistake, she pushed it away.

"Dude,see that Guy keeps placing his hand on her thigh" Kay said.

Phil turned and looked at them again. Oh, how he wanted to go there now and punch that man so hard. He gulped in his shot and then, he used his fingers to play on the bar table. Kay knew he did that very well when he was irritated by something or someone.

Back to Laura, and for the third time the fool placed those hands on her again. "Dude, get those hands off my body!" Laura yelled at the fool

"Come on Baby, we are adults" and this time, this guy took a step forward to kiss her, the next thing, he was baptized with a wine? Laura poured him on his face the wine in her glass.

"Are you mad?" The guy said angrily as he tried to clean off his face. By now, few people's attention we're on them including Phil. Phil couldn't take it anymore. He walked to where his wife was and dragged her.

"What is it?" She said to the unknown hand dragging her. She looked at the person well "its you. What are you doing here?" His obviously drunk wife asked. He ignored he and kept dragging her out

"Phil your grip is so tight. You're hurting me"

"Shut up" he dragged her outside, spotted her benz and took her to the car.

"The keys?"

She handed him her purse where it was inside. He opened the door and put her on the passenger sit, he closed the door. Just as he was about entering into the driver's seat, Kay came to him. He handed Kay the camery keys for him to drive back to Chuks place.

He entered into the drivers seat. "Put on your seatbelt" he said to her.

"I can't. I'm sleepy"

He hissed and reluctantly fixed it for her. He is damn pissed at her "Why are you here?"

"My friends Invited me here" she said. That explains why he saw that one.

"And you were busy flirting with that guy?"

"I wasn't. If you really saw what happened, you had see that he was the one flirting"

"Oh really! Why won't he flirt with you when you're wearing such a Dress"

"Whats wrong with what I am wearing! Phil please take me home. I want to sleep" she closed her eyes.

He shaked his head in disappointment and drove off, by the time he got home his silly wife had slept off.
