Dangerous Entanglement

episode 22

/HAANAH’S POV/

I sat there in the car, watching as the staff’s troop in that morning, there was no exiting from the dock. About an hour and half later, the South Americans appeared at the exit of the dock with the manager of the dock, I hurriedly went through the case file I hide under the driver seat to confirm if actually the man I saw is actually the manager, after roughing through a couple of pages, I came to his picture and there he was, the man with the Americans, Bob Henshaw.

I monitored from my position and then couple of minutes later, my phone buzzed and the distraction it caused me made my mind raced to remember Kelvin and how he made fun of me as my fun buzzed, I smiled at the thought and quickly waved it off so as not to get my mind of the job. On getting to the phone, I saw a text message from Dele.

“My guess was right my lady, I will contact you when I am able to gather details of what they are planning” Dele texted.

I was still there at the spot in my car monitoring the spot and then out of boredom I noticed there was a Wi-Fi network around, so I decided to go through my social media pages, my i********: had numerous notifications, most of which I have seen on the status bar already, but never really opened open to see what the notification is actually about.

There were messages from kelvin, and the date states that it was a day after we first met, I also saw a message from my friends from collage, one of us was getting married, making me the only one left, for a moment I felt sad being the only one left, but then I saw they suggested I be the braids maid, since I was the only one yet to get married. I felt that was a good idea and a chance for me to reconnect with the girls and also have a nice time, have fun and oh yeah have to be and act more like a lady.

The first person that came to mind immediately was Jane, Hazel’s girlfriend, or fiancée I rather say, I will like to meet her, let’s have some chats in which she can assist me in understanding the updates about what are in vogue on how things are done in such girls gatherings that we will be having in the process for the wedding. But first of all, I have to let the girls know that I will be coming so they quickly incorporate me I there plans and its already late because the message have been there on our group chat on w******p since last week.

“Hey Cindy, congratulations” I said immediately she picked the call, I had to call immediately without any procrastination.

“Wow Hannah, I and the girls were just discussing you yesterday night” Cindy replied rather cold, I did not mind about that, I know she was sceptical on what to expect.

“Sorry I just had time to log on the internet after some days now, but why did none of you try calling me?” I asked not really expecting a reply to that, I personally know the reason, they are all tired of trying to reach me and I later not show up for what I was invited to.

“Yeah….” She try to cook up some words but I saved her the stress.

“Never mind…” I said cutting her in the middle of her being confused on what to say.

“I should be done with the assignment on me before the end of the week and I should be going to vegas with you guys.” I said making sure I sound very enthusiastic.

“Really, are you sure about that?” Cindy asked, sounding really surprised.

“Because actually, I have got other options, I just passed you the invite for posterity sake” she added.

“Come on babe, I know have been a bunch of disappointment so many times, but that doesn’t mean you should treat me that way.” I sounded sympathetically as I try to gain her trust.

“Honestly, this time around, I really do want to attend the party and also, me being your chief bridesmaid I going to be a real honour for me, so please don’t cut me off?” I pleaded.

“Okay, okay Hannah, no one actually ever cut you off, you cut yourself off” she said in defence of herself and the other girls.

“Yeah I know that, and honestly I never meant to do that, it just happened under duress.” I said.

“Now here is the deal, you have to be I Vegas before Monday, or else you will only be attending the wedding and not being my braids maid” she stated out.

“Yeah, I understand you and I am really grateful.” I thanked her and then she quickly added the last part that soothed my heart the most.

“Nothing to be grateful about Hannah, in fact I will be really glad that my wedding was what brought you back to the clique, because I tell you, we all will be very glad to have you back.” Was what she said.

I was so glad to hear that and after some more discussion about the details of the event, we both hanged up and I quickly called Jane to set up an appointment with her. She was also a career lady, but well know how to create time for having fun and also socialize with friends and family.

“Don’t worry Hannah, we can go shopping this evening itself, where should I meet up with you?” she asked after giving me the assurance that she was going to help.

“I will come over to your place” I said to her, as I thought to myself as that will be an opportunity for me to visit Hazel who now lives with Jane in his apartment.

I texted Dele we needed to meet up ASAP for him to feed me with the information he is got, he texted back saying he will be leaving in three hours and I should wait. I went for launch in an eatery close by and waited there.

While waiting, I went to kelvins message on i********: again, I was confused on what to respond to him with, no doubt I am already really growing feelings for him, but also, I really don’t have that time to commit myself in a relationship right at this moment, and moreover I think the feelings I am having for this young man is just s*x related, yeah I love the way he grinds on me, the way he kisses, his touches and everything.

But I am not really sure if I am really growing that feelings for him or I was just sexually starving and I didn’t want to go sell myself somewhere else. But do I really love this guy or I just wanted s*x from him. But that won’t be unfair to him, he seems like a very smart guy who is cool, calm and also respects women, that’s something very hard to find in America today.

“Well, be it as it may, I’m not responding to this message, at least not now”. I murmured as I dropped the phone to concentrate on my meal.
