Numb Thorns

Chapter 2. Bad intentions

Milan has always been the girl everyone in our neighborhood secretly wished to be her or with her, she was the rich spoilt brat who preyed on any juvenile or naive person she comes in contact with. Yeahhhh she was that girl every parent warned their children to stay away from. She was a sight to behold, having both beauty and wealth, her family made sure she lacked nothing money can buy, normally such things can make one turn to a villain if not controlled. It was easy to get away with anything she did wrong because her family would also do whatever it took to make her victims go away by fat envelopes or real life disappearance. Not saying too many bad things about her but she had it all, from exotic foods, to flamboyant dresses and fast cars, her own cycle of friends were from the up and high in and out of the city so she was untouchable.

From afar I didn’t like the fact that everyone saw her as everything bad, I know how wild and vivid my imaginations are, and am not even from a stinky wealthy family, I really wanted to get to know her on a personal level. But yeah like the stinky wealth my family didn’t have, meeting her was luxury I couldn’t afford.

Fast forward to present day, my relationship with Sam hasn’t been going on well so much, we do have lots of s*x but it’s as though I needed more, he needed more of something we couldn’t give each other. We did all sort of things that could actually have helped our s*x life but most of these things were things we know about and like every other method like using toys, doing a threesome, b**m stuff like that, most of them were all interesting until we tried and it gave off the same unpleasant feeling, feeling of wanting more and that’s something we needed to work on pretty soon.

I work at a small event planning company, so we got a lot of events and planning and stuff. It’s crazy around here having to organize parties, weddings, luncheons and any little thing anybody wants our services for. Am the one managing the branch in my city so I have a lot of things in my plate as the manager.

Sam is a vet doctor, he has a lot of animals in his care as he also sells dogs and cats and helps with animal adoption. He’s a great guy yeahhh. I really like this guy so I was hoping I’d get the spark of our relationship back. I made up my mind that I would get help and solution to end this. From reading books and getting a therapist and maybe do some kinky stuff like a fetish or something, I don’t know but I know something could be done about it.

I Augusta, was indeed minding the business that pays me, going through a business files and researching on better ways to improve my business I got a call from my secretary a call was directed to me.

Hello good morning ma’am, this is Augusta Lays on the line how may I help you,

Caller

Hello good morning, it’s Milan Dawn, am calling in for a reservation for the planning of my wedding coming next month, am just confirming if my fiancé actually made it since I am busy with other things, and to check in on one or two things while am in town, is it possible if I can come by your office today might be so busy tomorrow. Hello ? Hello? You still there??

Augusta

Ehhhemmm sorry I go distracted for a sec, ehhheeemmm sure you can come over to the office when you can, I’d have my secretary put you on the appointment for today. Okay?

Milan

Okay, I’d be there around 2pm. We said a few words and then cut the call. I ringed my Secretary to tell her of our client before I went crazy. Is that the Milian I know, the only rich spoilt bratty milian I have been gushing over since our teens. She’s in town and getting married? I hurriedly went through my laptop to check on the list of next month’s reservations and here it was. Milan and Maxwel’s wedding planning event for next month. It was crazy as I didn’t know I could still blush over her after all these years. I had to look over a few pictures they had sent over and checked myself to know if I looked presentable enough as to when she’d be here. It’s a moment I wasn’t prepared to having this soon.

Afterwards seemed like forever, my Secretary called to inform me that she’s already arrived and waiting for me. I told her to let her in my office.

Augusta

Oh hello, please come in. I ushered her into my office and we exchanged some pleasantries.

Milian.

Am sorry but you look quite familiar, your voice is familiar too, have we met before, seems like it does to me. Am sorry if am wrong but you look familiar to me. Wow, did she notice me, like she knows me or something? I don’t know why but I felt overwhelmed that she felt that way.

Augusta

I think so, am Augusta , we lived in the same neighborhood in town during our teen years, went to the same school remember Norte Dame high school. I was the disciplinarian prefect back then. Does it help now.

Milan,

Oh yes Senior Augusta, yes i remember. You saved my ass then a lot from those other seniors when I was quite mischievous. She said laughing out loud and seem to remember a lot of her activities from way back. We spoke at length. We knowing each other from our teenage years made it more relaxing and easier to communicate with each other. We booked another time to meet up for her event. After wards she left. Promising to see maybe sooner that expected. I was somehow feeling a lot better after speaking with her. I don’t know the reason why I felt that good but I decided it was cause we know from way back. I did the rest of the day at the office then headed home.

After making dinner dinner for myself and Sam, I tried to do other things while I waited for him to come down so we could eat. I made sure that Scubby our dog and Cindy the cat were also well fed, I was still in the awe of Milan as she left quite an impression on me. I didn’t realize that Sam was already at the table waiting for me to finish with the dishes I was doing, but he got no response from me since I was absent minded. He called twice then walked over to me.

He got me back to earth and helped me sit down. I guess he was thinking I was tired, he also helped serve my food and his, we said our prayers and started eating, normally we had few talks about the day. I told him how mine went and about Milan. He told me about his too, complaining about how busy he would be tomorrow at his clinic and how he would like to sleep in early. After cleaning up our dishes, I tucked him to bed while I went to work on a few projects from the office. I smiled from ear to ear whenever I scrolled through Milan’s page, I thought about how much she had grown over the years , adding some weight here and there, she looked well shaped I must say, I wasn’t looking all that bad for someone who doesn’t pay much attention to her body. But seeing how elegantly beautiful she was made me smile and crush on her more. I was still working on my laptop when my phone started ringing. Checking the id, i was shocked at who was calling. It was Milan. Oh my god.

After a few seconds of recollecting myself, I picked the call to hear the voice of the one I have craved for all these years.

Milian

Hello, Augusta? Sorry am calling you at this ungodly hour.

August.

Nop it’s fine. Is there anything I can help you with.

Milan.

I hope am not going to be a bother but my fiancé didn’t make reservations for me at the hotel, and most of the hotels I have checked in don’t have rooms or I end up not getting anyone appropriate, can you please help me with where I can pass the night if it’s okay.

Augusta.

Okay that won’t be a problem where are you at the moment, okay, just stay put. I’d drive over to you, my company has a service apartment which we lend to clients so it won’t be a problem. Am coming straight to you. I hanged up, picked my Carkey, took my jacket from the room while I checked on Sam, I mentally calculated my movements to know if it’s necessary to wake him up but since I will be back in less than two hours I decided not to wake him. I left immediately to help my damsel in distress.
