1016 Words
" I asked all the women in my tent and the old men under the Umbrella tree none of them saw her yesterday," Mariam says pointing to the men that sat under the Umbrella tree we were outside under the mango tree. Zara had gone to ask some of the women that were on their way to the kitchen. She comes back with s sober look on her face
" they didn't see her," she said her fully carved eyebrows furrowed together in worry. I sighed what could have happened to her I wonder.
" have you told the camp chairman about this?" Zara asks me
I nod" yes I have, he wasnt too welcoming he slammed the door on my face," I said my mind racing back to what had happened this morning
" what why?" Mariam asks
" yes, why would he do that?" Zara asks agreeing with Mariam
I breathed out " well he asked when she went missing I told him yesterday he hissed and slammed the door on my face," I tell them
" what the hell that useless man had the nerve to do that " Mariam shouted
Zara nodded " I never thought he could be like that I held him in high esteem," Zara said shaking her head
" high esteem my foot someone that goes around chasing girls" Mariam spat scrunching her pointed nose that gets my attention chasing girls? never pegged him as one.
" ah, Mariam!" Zara shouts
" see you so you don't know" Mariam adds pulling her lip down to prove a point she moves in closer and looks around before adding
" I heard he got Nkechi pregnant and when she confronted him he slapped her and told her to get rid of it" Mariam says whispering I raise my eyebrows at that.
" Inallilahi " Zara says
Mariam just shakes her head poor Nkechi everyone on camp knows her she had bright skin that glowed and was beautiful she was chubby but would always be seen laughing. I felt sorry for her. But at the same time, I get another idea, one that would change everything forever.
" so what do we do now?" Zara asks me and I feel both their gaze on me.
" yes, how can we help?" Mariam asks
" For now I would need help with her children until I do something about it" I tell them
" what are you going to do about it?" Zara asks confused I didn't blame her what could I do about a missing woman when I was here in camp with no resources whatsoever
" something I should not be doing" I reply and she doesn't ask me again.
later that evening
" yes, yes who wants to break my door it's open come in," an angry voice says
I adjust my shirt just so my cleavage is exposed and walk-in he looks up from his desk his gaze settles on my cleavage
" oh my dear come in have a seat how can I help you," he said discarding his paperwork. I smile at him
" sir I was the one that came in earlier today," I tell him adjusting my skirt his eyes immediately follow my movement and I see him lick his lips eew gross
" Oh yes, I wasn't in a good mood this morning you know sorry about that," he says scratching his head and smiling at me I smile back
" that's fine I understand you get busy most times," I say playing with the tips of my cornrows
" as if you know see all the paper work I have to do know," he says pointing to the paper work on his desk with a sigh
" I have been working since morning and my shoulders are stiff already if only I could get a proper massage," he says slumping back on his chair with a sigh
" I am very good with massages perhaps I should give you one " I tell him smiling at him a wolfish grin appears on his face.I take that as a yes and go behind his chair to massage his stiff shoulders looking over his bald head I eye him when he sighs with relief
" yes that's the spot," he says and his hands begin to rub my hand which was currently massaging his shoulders I shoot him another dirty look which of course he can not see.
" I need a favour," I say still massaging his shoulders he drops his hands from mine and begins to run them along my thighs I stop myself from slapping his hands away and instead move my legs a bit
" what is it you want ?" he asks his hands finding my thighs again I eye his turned back if only he knew how much he irked me. I take his hands off my thighs stopping the massage
" I want you to ask the soldiers to find Mama Aisha the blue-eyed woman she has been missing for days," I tell him cupping the side of his face he leans in like a puppy.
" Your wish is my command my Queen," he says and I smile patting him on the cheek turning to walk towards the door
"where are you going ?" he asks getting up I could see a tent in his pants already
" to my tent of course, "I tell him with a smile
" you are just going to leave me like this ?" he asks walking hastily to meet me at the door side
"It's best I leave you to your work so I can always massage your stiff shoulders," I tell him with a smile
" but.." he starts to say I go out and close the door immediately breathing out whew! that was disgusting the nerve of him touching me like that I felt irritated just remembering how he smiled at me trying to be seductive.
On the other hand, I was happy I got him exactly where I wanted him he would be a fool to think I would ever let him have s*x with me, that will be over my dead body.
