Dangerous Entanglement

episode 46

/KELVIN’S POV/

In a few minutes of Sandra coming over to the bar, she had made her presence well known, like always she was way too loud and never allows anyone to actually talk as she keeps coming up and cutting you in between your sentences even before you are able to make sense.

“You really are a bad dude you know” she had said as she tries to help herself settle on a stool.

“What… what have I done?” I asked her trying as much as possible not to stutter.

“What…? She blotted out looking at me with her mouth wide open showing both surprise and disgust.

“I haven’t had from you since Thursday.” She added.

“What the f**k?” she blotted out again.

“Sorry, I thought you were out of town already.” I tried to defend myself at the same time tried to look away from Janice who obviously was able to recognise Sandra from the elevator. Janice was now having her daiquiri little by little and all the while, her gaze was fixed on me as she paid rapt attention to what was going on.

“Oh yeah…. And you couldn’t even confirmed if I got home safely, you know? Like, how was your flight, hope you seminar was nice?” She kept going on and on and on until I was getting frustrated about her rants and moreover, I do not like the situation we were caught up in.

Janice was watching it all and I still wanted to get in bed with Janice but this wide mouth Sandra here is plundering my chances down to the drain.

“You couldn’t even call to appreciate and romanticize about what we had” She blotted again as she looked at me seductively.

“Come on you said what we had was…” I stopped and looked around, seeing the number of people around the counter at that time, especially the eagle eye of Janice who was paying so much attention.

“… Was supposed to be a onetime thing.” I continued bringing my face very close to hers across the counter so I can continue the sentence in a whisper.

“Remember, that’s what you said” I added as I stood back up looking at her.

“And you shouldn’t be talking about it right now right here,” I mentioned looking her straight in the eye and gestured her to look around just in case she forgotten where she is at the moment.

“What…?” she said in shock.

“You mind a drink?” I enquired, and looking over at Loren, I could see how loud the smile on his face was.

“No, I don’t” she said, and was about to get up and leave and I was just about to have a huge sigh of relief then she turned back again.

“On the second thought, I will have what she is having.” She announced pointing at the glass of daiquiri Janice was having.

“Okay ma’am, that’s my doing…” Loren announced as he quickly began to arrange a glass of daiquiri for Sandra also.

“I am assuring you, you won’t be disappointed.” Janice finally uttered her first statement since Sandra came over, and the amusement she carried on her face when saying that kind of made me worried as to after what she had, she was still fine with being friendly with Sandra.

“Oh, I am sure of it, I have had it once and not just the taste, but the feeling it brings along with it is marvellous.” Sandra commented affirming to what Janice said.

“I think my job here is done for tonight” I said to Loren as I moved to leave to bar, and though the crowd in the club is beginning to reduce and Loren can now handle the bar all by himself, the main reason I was leaving was because Janice and Sandra were beginning to get to close than I expected them to be. They have been talking in low tunes and giggling together after some closed up whispers which they sometimes looked my way before they burst out laughing. Those scenes have been quite uncomfortable for me and I had to leave that spot before they get me mad.

‘Wait a moment…” my brain began to race as something just dawn on me. What if not only Janice could recognise Sandra, but Sandra could also recognise Janice from the elevator incident.

‘Oh no, that won’t be nice’ I said to myself making a quick fast turn to go back to the bar. Yes, no doubt Janice already knows I and Sandra have had an encounter but I have told her she was no one and nothing of any relevance or importance. But she coming to the bar now and asking all those questions will make it look like there is more to what I opened up to Janice.

I got back to the bar and I met both ladies exchanging contacts as Sandra was about to leave, they hugged and acted as if they have known each other way before now, it was a very unbelievable sight for me, especially for the fact Janice knows about Sandra. I walked over to them and was like…

“Hey, do you ladies know one and other from somewhere before now?” my curiosity and confusion couldn’t let me stay quiet about what I am seeing.

“Nah…” Sandra said

“Not really actually...” Janice added.

“Okay, not really…?” I repeated her words looking at her questioning.

“Well she ain’t she the lady who caught us in the elevator someday back while we were…” Sandra was going all out and I am very sure didn’t know when to stop, so I had to stop her.

“Oh yeah, she is the one, I didn’t know you would recognise her that fast”. I said as looked over to Loren who obviously now knows there is allot more I know about this Janice lady and the drama that has been going on between this two for quite about twenty minutes.

“Actually I didn’t..” she said refuting my assumption.

“Well I did…” Janice called out.

“What…?”  I busted out withouth really thinking it through.

“How could you possibly be able to…?” I was still asking in frustration.

“Come on, who will forget or not recognise this fine piece of creature just after on look, even if the look actually lasted for a very short while.” Janice complemented Sandra while she crease her exposed arm.

“Oh… thank you very much.” Sandra came in for a check to check peck appreciating the complement.

“I will be on my way now, make sure you keep in touch with Me.” she reminded Sandra.

“Of course, in fact, I have a proposal for you already and I will pass it on to you when I get home.” she announced to Sandra. I was still watching in amusement while Loren still in shock with millions of questions to be asked written all over his face.

“I will be expecting you…” I thought that was all after Sandra made this assurance as she was already moving away from the bar.

“And you…” she turned back saying out loud on top of her voice.

“I will be expecting to hear from you too because I am still in this town until Wednesday.” She said pointing at me. I was still not sure what to say in response to that.

“If you don’t contact her I am going to” Janice cut me out of my misery of not knowing what to say as she dropped a wand of cash on the table and walked away into the crowd also. I thought she was leaving but she was actually going for a dance.

“Okay, have got allot of questions to ask” I heard Loren saying from behind me.

“Save it…” I quickly said to him without even facing him.

“What do you, mean by that man?” Loren questioned rhetorically.

“Before your old friend came over to the counter, I was getting along with the guest I thought was a stranger to the both of us…” he began to explain to be seeking for more clarification on what just played out.

“Wait wait… wait for a moment” I stuttered with laughter.

“Wait what, what’s funny?” he asked me with a smile on his face.

“You think you guys were getting along?” I questioned him still laughing at his naivety.

“Well not really, but you can’t deny the fact that I was beginning to work some magic on her”. He said with a huge grin on his face as he was obviously fantasizing. I laughed out a bit louder this time making him switch from a grinning face to an angry one.

“I can’t imagine for some weeks back I believed you were coaching me on women matters.” I said still laughing closing my mouth with the back of my palm.

“Well you still can’t deny that my couching yield you some very nice results you should really be appreciating me for.” He boldly stated.

“Well, I can’t take that accolade from you, so I can’t deny that.” I said to him making him affirm with a smile.

“But you know nothing man, even if you do, it just purely theoretical and no practical.” I said to him.

“What are you really serious about not working any magic on the lady?” he asked me looking serious this time.

“I am one hundred percent serious” I confirmed him.

“How sure are you… I mean, what is giving you that vote of confidence?” he asked again still looking all serious.

“I slept with her this morning…” I answered his question and immediately turned around to leave the bar, the shock and surprise on his face was a sight to behold, he was looking so stone surprised and dumbfounded.

“What tha f**k boss, you are turning into something else.”  He said after he finally regained his voice.

“I know right, and I wonder what it is that did that.”

I walked out to the office at the back and did some book keeping routine, this time I noticed the amount we have been raising and saw I got to see how much we have been making since the last time Dexter came over with cash and an idea popped into my head, but before I cay out the idea, have got to try communicating with Dexter again, you never know, I could be lucky this time around again and guess what, it was futile like it has always been in about the past two weeks or there about.
