Alice, I Need A Massage

By 6:00 AM, Thursday morning, 4th of December. As the first light of dawn began to filter through the curtains, Damon finally drifted off to sleep, his dreams filled with images of a happier, more fulfilling life.

When he awoke several hours later, he felt a sense of clarity and purpose that he had not felt in years.

As he stood up from the couch, now stretching his body, he saw the little baby creeping towards him, she looked freshened up in a new beautiful pink dress. He looked around but there was no shadow of Alice anywhere.

Damon reached out to the baby and carried her, now smiling at her when he suddenly saw Alice walking out from the bathroom. With a white towel tied around her body, she rushed towards him. She saw Damon carrying her little sister. She got scared that her little sister was responsible for Damon being awake.

"I'm sorry sir… my sister woke you up." She apologized and attempted to carry her sister from him but his response made her stop midway.

"It's fine. I was already awake before she approached me." He replied, smiling and touching the baby's cheek, cradling him gently, he whispered softly in her ear as the baby began to laugh. Alice wondered what he must have said to her that is making her laugh so loud.

"Sir please I need a… a favour from you.." Alice spoke with stuttering words.

Damon looked up at her without saying a word as he waited to hear what she has to say.

"I'll be coming to work a bit late today. I want to wait for my friend so she can come and help me take care of my little sister while I go to work." She said,

"Why won't you bring her with you?" He asked.

"My friend will love it if she stays with her at home." Alice replied.

"Alright." He replied. He didn't give her any difficulty in granting her favour. She was glad about it.

"Thank you sir." She replied, smiling.

"I'll be on my way home. I'm exhausted and tired. I need to sleep. Looking forward to seeing you at home." He stood up and handed over the baby to Alice to carry and was now walking towards the exit door.

"Thanks for last night, the meal… the blanket…" He smiled but it didn't reach his eyes.

"You mind driving me home?" He teased her.

"Sir, I do not know how to drive." She immediately rejected his offer." "I'm sorry sir."

"Hehehe… I was just pulling your legs. Only a person who wants to die by accident would allow you to drive them home." He replied, laughing and Alice could not hold her laughter. She just had to let it out.

After they both laughed, he waved at the baby.

"Bye, see you some other time. Alice, I need a body massage. Your couch already messed with my back bones." He said and walked away.

Alice smiled, as she watched him leave.

20 minutes later…

Alice heard footsteps. She peeked through the window and saw Emily walking towards the front door of her apartment, looking exhausted. Her heels clicked against the hardwood floors as she made her way to the sitting room, where she found her best friend Alice lounging on the couch, scrolling through her phone.

"Hey!" Emily exclaimed, plopping down next to her friend. "What's up?"

Alice looked up from her phone and grinned at Emily. "Hey, girl! How was the party last night?"

Emily's face lit up with excitement as she launched into a detailed account of her night with her boyfriend, David. She told Alice about the music, the dancing, and the endless flow of champagne.

"Most especially, the s*x. I'll tell you every detail about it when you return tonight. It was seriously the best night ever," Emily said. "David is so sweet. I disvirgined him." She added.

Alice grinned at her friend. "How was it? You've always wanted someone with a big dick.." said Alice.

"Of course, yes. he. is. so. huge!" Emily replied and Alice couldn't help but imagine the scene.

"Aaawn, I wish to experience something like that." Alice replied shyly.

"Don't worry, a man who will love and cherish you is on the way. Tell me what kind of man you wish to have. I'll make it happen with my magical powers." Emily jokingly asked as they both laughed out loud before they snapped out of their chit chatting state.

"Our little sis is asleep. I already showered her and fed her. I was waiting for your return before leaving for work. Let me start going." Said Alice as she stood from her seat. She gave Emily a peck on the two sides of her cheek before she left, now walking towards the door.

"Bye sis." Emily waved and Alice waved back and shut the door behind her.
