Robert Bentley above
****************
Groaning, Robert rolled over. He didn't want to open his eyes just wanted to sleep in for the day.
He sniffed and smelt burnt and shot up from his bed groaning he closed his eyes rubbing his temple.
What had happened last night?
He looked at the other side of his king size bed;
Panties?
Bra?
A gown?
Had he brought a girl last night. He rubbed his head. He was too much drunk that he barely remembered what happened last night.
He groaned smelling something burnt. He frowned and removed the duvet away from his n***d body.
He looked around, his shirt was gone. He rubbed his temple and took his boxer. He slowly walked out of his room.
Down stairs to the dinning room. He could hear music coming from the kitchen. Who was there? he lives alone and his house keeper only came on weekdays.
He entered the kitchen and what he saw angered him. A girl he could not recognize was in his kitchen cooking.
She turned and smiled "oh hey darling" he did not respond he just frowned. "who are you and what are you doing in my kitchen get the hell out. " she frowned at his harshness but rolled her eyes and smiled her brown teeth showing from her huge lipstick lips.
"Robert it me Belinda, common now " she walked towards him and he pushed her away in disgust.
"I do not want to know your name get the f**k out of my house now " she stared at him like he was crazy.
Although they had a one night stand but relationship could blossom from there. She did not quite understand what he was doing.
"oh common Robert. Why you behaving like this? We both know you weren't like this yesterday so why the act" he fumed, the hangover was not helping with his mood.
"look Blender or whatever you call your, I am not really in a good mood so I want you to go get your stuffs take off my clothes and GET THE HELL OUT" he said through gritted teeth.
She stared at him and find out that he was dead serious "it Belinda and how dare you! How f*****g dare you? You use me and you want to throw me out of your life just like that? " she shook her head and he rolled his eyes.
"look baby girl I don't do anything but a one night stand so I am going to repeat this nicely get out" pissed she wiped the tears that fell walked towards him and slapped him.
"bastard!" she muttered under her breath and walked out the kitchen. He switched the gas and sighed looking at the mess she created.
He didn't really care he just wanted her out of his life as soon as possible. He couldn't just understand ladies. He would be very specific that he wanted nothing more than s*x and the next day they will be expecting affections.
He rolled his eyes, lord help him. He heard high heels clicking, signifying that the girl was leaving.
Good!
He smiled satisfied and walked towards his living room. She took her purse that was on a stool and turned to him giving him one last nasty glare the girl walked out of the house slamming the shut.
He walked towards his sofa and dropped down on it. Finally she left, he wasn't condoling any woman, he had his own fair share of gold diggers so he was determined not to get married.
Well expect the fact that he lied to his mother that he was happily married to someone woman.
Well he could not handle his mother's pressure to get a wife anymore. It was kinda of pathetic that he had to lie to his own mother but the woman would never understand that at thirty four he needed his space and freedom.
He walked up his room and took his phone, there was a miss call from his secretary, maybe it was something important so he decided to call back.
The line was picked after four rings, the rugged voice of a man boomed from the receiver and Robert rolled his eyes.
"James you called? " he asked expectantly and sat on the couch in his personal bedroom.
"yes sir, the investors from Saudi Arabia are finally ready they want to arrange a meeting with you. " he took his key and stared playing with it.
"okay can you set the meeting to my next free day "
"yes sir. "
Then he heard the door ring, he sighed shut up and walking towards it. He checked the pipe hole and found his best friend.
He rolled his as Emeka entered the house not even greeting him. "Guy? " Emeka dropped down.
"guy how you dey? " he smiled and Robert dropped down on a chair opposite him.
"I am fine what are you doing here? " he said a bit harsher than he wanted to sound but be did not care because Emeka would visit whenever he needed to get away from his drunk excuse of a wife.
Emeka had been a secondary school friend but they were like brothers. They were really good friends but he was not ready for his stupid stories.
"hash man " he rolled his eyes, got up and walked towards the kitchen. He took out his first aid box and got a paracetamol sachet out. He pulled out to pills and threw into his mouth as he drank the already prepared water.
Emeka walked into the kitchen and rolled his eyes, "another hang over" he leaned against the kitchen cabinets and Robert turned to him.
"man I thought we discussed this, stop all this s**t and settle down" he turned to the fridge brought a hug of orange juice and turned to Emeka.
"Emeka you are married so how is that turning out? " he asked knowing. Emeka rolled his eyes "even though Janet is a drunk I am still happy with her, look Robert your mother's worried, she isn't getting younger so are you, you can't say in the whole of Lagos you haven't coins anyone who attracts your attention."
Robert sighed and poured the juice inside the glass cup and took a sip. He wasn't up from another lecture from Mr married man, he walked out of the kitchen and entered again to the living room.
"look man I am tired can we not talk about this I am having a serious headache some girl almost burnt my kitchen down, I found that the investors from Saudi Arabia are finally ready then you with this issues" Emeka rolled his eyes and sighed.
"just get your butt off the sofa and stop avoiding your mother, Janet is starting to freak " he turned to him holding the glass cup loosely.
"and why is that? "
"she thinks I might be cheating on her" then busted you laughing. They both laughed hard at the silly idea of Janet.
"she started checking my messages and chats trying to find one particular thing that could implicate me" Robert rolled his eyes.
"I don't understand woman and their insecurities o" Emeka rose and eyebrow.
"now don't you " Robert gave him a bored expression. "Oh please Emeka don't bring my matter into your problems o."
Emeka rolled his eyes. "as if you are not insecure"
"can we not talk about this" Emeka smirked.
"me asha know that one day will have to come clean to your mother " he rolled his eyes "that one day will come not now. "
"but it will come soon enough" he said knowingly.
"when we get that bridge we will cross it, shey you want juice" Emeka rolled his eyes "I don't want juice"
"suit yourself."
