Cascade’s Nemesis

A Parting Gift

Cascade

I watched, livid as she laughed while she was speaking to the guy at the bar, wondering what he was saying to make her smile so. I pulled out my phone and dialed Claire, instructing her to move Ella up to the VVIP section of the club. I didn’t want her around these people; I wanted her only by my side.

The VVIP section was a place born of my crazy imagination. In times like this when all you needed was privacy, that would make the perfect place to be, as far as you could afford it because it for sure wasn’t cheap.

One could get anything from strippers to call girls/boys and if all you wanted was time away from the crowd, then you could have just that.

I went up there, instructing Brendon to bring her up to my booth once she got promoted. I sat inside waiting for her, thinking of a hundred different ways to make her scream in pleasure. I couldn’t believe how obsessed I had become with her by getting close to her just once. I lit a cigar and puffed on it to kill time.

She peered in after a while, sliding in stealthily and it amused me how shy she was. She looked around the booth and looked skeptically at the stripper’s pole in the corner which made me laugh.

Decent! I like that…

I assured her she wouldn’t be needing the stripper pole and I could her visibly release a sigh of relief. It keeps getting better learning little by little about her personality. And it’s strange how I keep thinking about marrying her even though I just met her. I can’t even recognize myself right now.

“So, what can I get you?” She asked, looking like she was in a dilemma. And it was understandable because she was new to this part of the club and I bet she never knew a place like this existed from the way she kept looking around.

“I’ll need another whiskey. Get yourself something while you’re at it also.” I told her, watching as she stepped out to fulfill my order. I wanted her very close to me and so I told her to sit when she came back with the drinks. But once she was seated close to me, all I could think of was kissing her senseless and peeling her clothes off her petite body.

The girl was driving me mad, my hormones kept misbehaving around her. I took a look at her face as she sipped her drink. She was so beautiful, more beautiful than any woman I had ever seen. She seemed so surreal and I wondered if I was being tricked by some unknown deity.

Her eyes were just gorgeous. Her nose, perfect. Her lips…just enticing…

I had to taste them, even if it would only last for a second. I don’t know if it was the whiskey that was messing with my thinking but I found myself kissing her.

And surprisingly, she responded to my kiss with an urgency.

She wanted me as much as I want her!

That thought made me a happy man. I was trying not to go too fast so as not to scare her away but she grabbed my hair as she introduced her tongue into the kiss and I took that as an approval, pressing her svelte body into mine in a straddling position.

I paused the kiss to look into her cerulean eyes for a second for any hint of *regret or anger* but all I could see in them was pure want. And nothing gladdened my heart more. She took my face in her hands and kissed me again. I loved how bold and comfortable she was with me and I hoped that she would stay that way. I decided I would try my f*cking hardest not to scare her away from me. My hands were ravaging her body and I longed to feel every inch of her beautiful body. I unbuttoned her shirt, and slid my hands in but stopped to seek her approval before touching her boobs. I wanted to be sure that she was okay with me touching her in that manner. I slid her bra up, releasing her beautiful breasts from their cage once I got a nod of approval from her. Her buds were taut with arousal and I couldn’t help but admire them.

Damn! She was a goddess! F*cking beautiful!

I twisted her beautiful rosy buds in between my fingers and I loved the reaction I was getting from her. I took one breast in my mouth sucking on it like a new born baby earning a moan from her. It sounded like music to my ears, egging me on. I found her wet p***y and frolicked my way in, earning several moans of pleasure from her.

She took me by surprise when she took out my bulk and sucked me with her mouth. At that point, I knew she was the one for me. She was making strange movements with her tongue that sent sparks flying through me. Whatever it was, I wanted her to keep doing it. I held her head, guiding her gently, slowly. This woman right here was all I wanted. All I needed. And I was going to keep her by any means necessary.

I was rock hard and needed to feel some cream from her soaked p***y. I pulled her close and thrust my d**k in there and we finished with our bodies pressed together rocking in a perfect rhythm.

A few minutes later, we were disentangled and I couldn’t help but admire how ravishing her naked body looked. I wanted to taste her. I kissed her all over, from head to toe. She was totally astonishing! She tasted amazing, smelled amazing!

I contemplated eating her out but decided to make it a parting gift, teasing her a little bit so she could only imagine what it would be like to have my head buried in between her thighs, eating her senseless.

I waited at the car for her while she went to sign out and get her stuff. I planned to take her home. Wouldn’t want her walking home all by herself this late at night.

When she got to the car and made a compliment about it, I decided she’ll have it if she liked it but I didn’t voice it. Whatever she liked was hers from now on. She automatically was my responsibility without even knowing it.

I turned on some music, ignoring her questions about where we were going. I drove out of the Peking lot and onto the street straight to her home. I parked on the opposite side of the road and locked the doors.

“How do you know where I live?” She asked, looking bewildered.

“Relax babe. I asked some of your coworkers .”

She didn’t seemed convinced and she said nothing more but I could see the invisible wheels turning in her head.

“Take off your panties, babe.”

She turned to look at me, searching my eyes, confused. I raised an eyebrow.

“Please.” With a mocking smile on my face.

She shook her head.

“Do you want me to do it for you?” I asked playfully reaching out and she smacked my hand away.

I retracted my hand, faking pain and hugged her tightly.

“Okay. I’m sorry that I poked my nose into your business and I will make it up to you. Right now, I just want to give you that gift I promised you. So just do as I say.” I whispered in her ear.

She loosened up a bit.

“Apology accepted.”

She took off her panties and I took it from her and slipped it in my pocket.

“My parting gift.” I said with a smile. I wanted a piece of her with me.

“And for the record, I never apologized to you. I don’t apologize.” I told her with a serious look.

“Okay, Mr Cade. No one will hear of it. Except you piss me off.” She replied.

“I’ll try not to piss you off then.”

“Good.”

I moved her seat backwards and crossed to the passenger seat, kneeling in front of her. I watched her stunning face and moved her skirt up slowly, raising her legs and placing them against the dashboard. I inhaled her heavenly scent and kissed her sweet p***y. I raised my head and took her lips in mine, kissing her slowly while running my hand over her core. I broke the kiss and bent over, taking her p***y in my mouth, sucking hard on her c**t. She shuddered, letting out a low moan.

I stuck my tongue out and flicked it around her c**t which sent her squirming. I held her thighs in place and stuck my tongue into her hole. Her p***y tasted like ice cream to me and I was prepared to eat her for as long as it took to get her juices out. I continued to thrust my tongue in and out while I rubbed her c**t with my thumb. She was gasping loudly as she was being sent over the edge. She was stroking my head and moaning uncontrollably, still squirming. I sucked on her c**t again, replacing my tongue with two fingers continuously thrusting faster and harder, making sure to hit her G-spot. A few seconds later, she was quivering like a leaf, squirting all her liquids on me.

“That’s a good girl.” I said, smiling.

She couldn’t talk immediately, still basking in the euphoria of the moment. After a few seconds, she reached into her bag and handed me some wet wipes which I took and wiped my face with. I took some of them and wiped her down very gently, kissing her thighs. I moved over to the drivers seat and held her hand, leaning back in my seat.

“You should go in and rest now. I’ll call you later.” I said, unlocking the doors.

“But you don’t even have my number.” She replied, getting out of the car.

“That won’t be a problem. I’ll contact you.” I told her matter-of-factly.

“Alright.” She replied reluctantly.

“Be safe. I want to watch you walk in.” I said to her.

I drove off as she went into the house and locked the door behind her, heading straight to my company in the central area of town as I still had some paper work to finish up and send out by morning.

I picked up my phone and long pressed the home button.

“Hey Siri, call Brendon!” I commanded.

“Calling Brendon.” Siri responded.

He picked up after one ring.

“Hey boss.” Brendon called in his booming voice.

“Brendon, get me a file on Daniella Bryson ASAP and meet me at the company.

“Yes boss!” I hung up so I could concentrate on the road but my phone started to ring and it was Sally, my mothers caregiver. I panicked a little, hoping that there was nothing going wrong with my mum. I picked up and put it on speaker.

“Is everything okay, Sally?” I asked, hiding my panic.

“I’m afraid not sir. Your mother had a fit thirty minutes ago and she’s at the hospital now.”

“Did you not bring her the inhaler?”

“ I did sir but it didn’t seem to be working.”

“Okay. I’ll be right there.What’s the name of the hospital?” I asked, parking my car at the roadside.

“Churchill Hospital, just along Griffin road.”

“On my way.” I turned the car around and started the journey to the hospital, hoping and praying that my mother was fine. I wanted her to meet Ella one day. She wouldn’t be able to do that if she died too soon.

Ever since my dad died a year ago, my mom has been in and out of the hospital. It was just as if her heart couldn’t take it and she wanted to go join the old man but she couldn’t do that. I don’t want her to. I needed her here with me. I hadn’t visited in a while and I knew she would be cross with me. I avoided going to see her because she’d been pestering me about getting someone to settle down with and she even wanted to hook me up with someone. But now that I feel so strongly about Ella, I think I can approach the subject without getting cranky plus how is she supposed to attend a wedding if she’s dead before then?

I drove as fast as I could to the hospital trying not to run through any red lights as the last thing I needed was the cops on my ass. I got to the hospital in 20 minutes and rushed to the counter to find out which room my mom was in and to be honest, I was really scared but I didn’t let it show. I wished silently that Ella was here to help me feel calm. I rushed upstairs to find them climbing up the flights of stairs two at a time in so much of a hurry. My mum was the only thing I had left in this world.

I found a doctor standing over her, fixing something on the bedside stand. Sally was standing on the opposite side of the bed.

“Sally, what’s going on?” I asked breathlessly as I rushed into the ward.

“I’m so sorry, Mr Shumpert. I brought her the inhaler but I don’t know what happened. It kept persisting.” Sally was rambling.

“It’s alright, Sally. It’s not your fault.” I reassured, calming her down.

She was also scared. She’s been my mum’s friend and worker for as long as I remember and they had grown very fond of each other over the years.

“Doctor, what exactly is wrong with her?” I asked the doctor, watching as he wrote something’s down in his notepad.

I walked over to the bedside and sat on the chair beside the bed, taking her hand. She looked so frail and weak.

“It’s nothing to worry about, Mr Shumpert. I take it she’s asthmatic and probably has a history with allergies?” He asked.

“Yes.” I replied.

“It was just another allergic reaction. I’ll prescribe something to help reign that.”

“Thanks doctor.” I replied in a low monotone.

“Oh! I temember now, Mr Shumpert. We were taking a stroll earlier in the day and Madame Shumpert petted a neighbors beautiful white cat!” Sally explained.

“Okay. So she’s allergic to pet dander. I told you it was nothing to worry about. She’ll be bouncing in no time. Please come to my office and get the prescription before you leave, Mr Shumpert.” He instructed and walked out the door.

I asked Brendon to pick Sally up and take her home while I stayed with my mom till she woke up despite Sally insisting that she wanted to stay.

I sat watching her once vibrant and happy face, relieved it was just a cat allergy. I couldn’t wait for her to open her eyes. I don’t know how long I sat there, my mind drifting to Ella. How and when I would talk tell my mum about her. How long it would take for us to get to know one another and get close enough to make her want to get married to me.

“Aren’t you supposed to be at work or something?” My mothers voice snapped me back to reality. I jumped from my seat to the bed in a swift move and scooped her in my arms.

“Hey mama, I thought I had lost you.” I was grinning from ear to ear, relief washing through my bones.

“You can’t get rid of me that easily.” She laughed.

Ella’s pov

I went straight to the bathroom to take a bath and prepare for work. I was supposed to resume at the pre school by 7.30 am. Thankfully, there were leftovers in the fridge that we could live on till the next day.

As I stood in the shower, my mind drifted back to the events of the last few hours. Everything that happened felt so surreal. In a million years, I never would have imagined that I would catch the fancy of a man as impeccable as he was. I laughed at my luck, unable to believe everything we did together. I could still remember the feel of his mouth on my skin. How passionate it all felt, having s*x with him. Our first time together didn’t feel like a first, the level of intimacy was overwhelming.

I thought about the job he offered me and I wondered if it would all be worth it in the end.

I dragged myself back to reality and dried my body, dreading the fact that I had to be among preschoolers again. Despite the fact that they were very adorable, they were a pain in the ass. It was a very daunting task having to put them in order. Hopefully, I would quit this job and focus on one or two of the ones o would have left after I gave Cade my answer.

I checked my phone at intervals, waiting for a call or text from him but I got nothing. He promised to contact me, I wonder why I haven’t heard from him.

I was honestly not in the least disturbed about him reaching out because of what happened between us. I just wanted to give him my answer because I had to sort Dave out. He was supposed to get a new kit for soccer and I wasn’t expecting to be paid till the ended of the month. I asked for an advance but it was declined as I had already asked three times before. I was thinking of telling Cade that I would like to take an upfront payment before I start so I would make use of the money and now he was not reaching out to me. I wondered if there was any way I could find his contact details so I could call him myself.

The day was agonizingly slow as I battled with the young preschoolers I was responsible for. I was tired and sleepy and couldn’t wait to get home. I concluded that I would find a one time job so Dave could rent all the stuff he needed for a while until I was able to reach Cade. During the lunch hour, I pulled out my phone and opens my w******p in search of a paid group where they post job updates which I paid to join a few weeks ago. It was from there I got the update for the job I got at Cascade. I scrolled through jobs that had been posted for that day and saw that there was an ushering job for Saturday morning. The pay was quite okay and so I texted the number underneath and sent my details and waited for a reply while I went about my work.

I was the happiest person when the closing bell rang. I packed up once all the children in my class had been picked up by their guardians and started to head home. I needed some serious sleep as I was exhausted.

Getting home, I dropped all the change I had left from tips I got at the club last night on the counter in case Dave would need anything when he got back from school and headed straight to my bed. I drifted away immediately I shut my eyes.

Dave’s pov

I decided to walk home on my own today after soccer practice, taking a lonely route that most people would rather not go through. Sometimes, I feel like being on my own with my thoughts. I enjoy my own company better than being around people. I mostly do not even interact much when I’m around people. I’m the perfect definition of an introvert. I’m generally just not interest in people or being social. I talk but not around everyone. I can read people like a book and I only talk when my mood permits or when the other persons vibe is on a perfect level with mine. Most people say I’m anti social. A lot of people think a lot of things about me. I’m weird to most but I don’t care. That’s what I love most about myself.

As I rounded a bend, I saw someone from the corner of my eye. I looked behind and saw a huge guy in black trying to act natural but I knew something was off. I had the gnawing feeling that I was being watched but I tried to ignore it.

I wondered who this big man was and what he wanted with me. I ran behind a building when I was out of his view and hid. After a few seconds, I heard the sound of a car speeding off the direction I came from. The rolls that was parked on the side of the road was gone.

I continued my walk home grateful that he hadn’t tried to hurt me and hoping he wouldn’t come back.

I thought about my sister, she’d be home by now. She’s took custody of me after our parents died so child services wouldn’t move me away. I owe her a great deal as she’s been the one taking care of me since our parents died. I’ve never want for anything, she makes sure I have all I need. I don’t have most of the luxury I used to have but I’m alright. I was never too fancy anyway. She works herself to a stupor just to make sure I’m fine and she has a non existent social life all because of me. She used to be vibrant and active, she had a few friends she used to go out with but not anymore. I love my sister so much even though I don’t show it all the time.

I had gotten home without even realizing it until I heard our neighbor’s dog barking at me. I rushed over to him and pet his fur, scratching his ear and playing with him for a few seconds before going into our house.

Our parents house, which was now our house was the only thing we inherited from our parents. All the money we thought they had, vanished into thin air. Their lawyer was also AWOL which made me unable to stop thinking that there was something wrong somewhere and I couldn’t figure out what it was because I couldn’t find any paperwork to point me in the right direction as their office was emptied by the time we got home that horrible day.

That horrible day, I lost my hero and best friend. It was the saddest day of my life.

I unlocked the door and walked into the kitchen taking off my shoes at the door. I opened the fridge and pulled out some left over lasagna, putting it in the microwave. I checked the fridge for a drink and found a pack of orange juice. I noticed there was no milk and I wanted to have cereal tonight. Ella was probably sleeping upstairs in her room. I decided to go check on her and saw some money on the kitchen counter. My sister was always so thoughtful. I swiped the money and went up the stairs carefully so as not to wake her if she was sleeping. The joke was ajar, I peered in and saw her sprawled on her bed.

I went to my room and dumped my backpack on the bed and went back downstairs to check my lasagna.

After I had eaten, I dropped a note on the kitchen counter for Ella that said I was at the supermarket and then I strolled out to buy some things for the fridge.

I got there and picked up a basket going over the stuffs I needed to buy. Milk, eggs, a box of cereal, popcorn, tuna…

I turned unto the next aisle and I saw the guy from before, still clad in black and looking around the shelves like he wanted to purchase something. I quickly picked up all the things I needed and rushed to the counter to pay but when I tried to give the cashier my money, she said it was already paid for and I was confused. I asked her who paid for them and she pointed to the man in black. Why would he pay for my stuff? He didn’t even know me. I decided to go and find out who he was and at least say thank you but he was already strolling out the door, talking to someone over the phone. He walked in quick, long strides to his car and zoomed off before I could reach him.

I just went back into the mart and picked up my stuff and walked back home, wondering exactly who the mysterious guy in black was.

Some sort of guardian angel?

Oh, well… He just saved us some money and it was well appreciated. I got home and put away the stuffs I brought back. I picked up the note and threw it into the bin and dropped the money back in the kitchen counter. I went upstairs to take my bath and do my homework. I planned to watch a movie after, hence, the popcorn.

I heard my sister moving around downstairs in the kitchen after an hour, probably making dinner. I finished up and went downstairs to join her.

“Hey!” I greeted.

“Hi Dave, how was school today?” She asked, putting some spaghetti with shredded chicken and vegetables into a bowl to save in the fridge.

“School was awesome! How was work?” I asked her, truly concerned. She shrugged.

“You know, the usual. How come the money is still on the counter be there are stuffs in the fridge that weren’t there before?” She asked, creasing her forehead.

“I went to get stuffs at the supermarket and some random dude paid for them.” I replied.

“Really? And you don’t know him?” She asked confused. I just shrugged and went to put some popcorn in the microwave.

“Wanna see a movie tonight?” I asked her.

“Sure.” She replied, stuffing some spaghetti into her mouth.

I went into the living room and played Billie Eilish’s ‘when the party’s over’ while I started to look for a movie we would both like. I found one, played and paused it while I went back for the popcorn and soda. Ella was doing dishes so I just joined her so that we could finish them up quickly. I picked up the bowl of popcorn and soda cans and went into the living room behind her once we were done.

She plopped onto the sofa opposite the screen and I was happy she was regaining some her sheen back and the bags underneath her eyes had gone down a bit.

I stopped the music and played the movie.

I noticed she left in the middle of the movie to go find her phone and she kept checking it at intervals like she was expecting a message.

Dave

Soon after we were done with the movie and Ella suggested that we should head to the amusement park and spend the rest of the day there which I agreed to.

I put my sneakers on and picked up the money from the kitchen counter and waited for her outside. We left once she had come out and locked up. I don’t really like amusement parks but I would do anything for my sister. We walked into the sea of bodies and started looking around for something fun to jump on. I was looking around, noting things that had changed since the last time we came here. Then, I saw him.

The big black guy…

He was watching some kids playing a game a few stands from us and I was a hundred percent sure that he didn’t know any of the kids there and he wasn’t interested in that game they were playing.

I turned around to find my sister.

“Ella! He’s here!” I called out to her, turning her around to see him.

“Who is here?” She asked, confused.

“The guy I told you about. From the mall!” I was looking at the exact spot where he stood but he wasn’t there anymore. I looked around to see if I could still find him but he seemed to have disappeared.

“Where?” Ella asked, still waiting for me to show him to her.

“He’s gone! But he was right here.” I said moving over to the very spot in which he was standing.

“It’s alright, Dave. Let’s go ride bumper cars.” I put my arms around her shoulders and moved along with her still looking around cautiously for the big black guy.
