Chapter 2 : Seeing Red
1212 Words
The sound of something or someone striking the wall in the room next to me jolted me out of my slumber with a loud “bum bum bum” sound. It was 2:18 a.m. when I looked at the time. Wena was sound asleep next to me; I firmly believe that even an earthquake wouldn’t wake her up. She was like an unrestrained Queen. When I finally understood that I was meant to be alone at home because Sally would already be at work, I lay in bed for a while.
I muttered “f**k” and grabbed the nightstand lamp, which was the closest thing I had to a weapon. When the commotion stopped, I channeled my inner spy and crept up to the door, opening it as quietly as I could. When a large shadow emerged from Sally’s room ,I hit as high as I could.
The alleged burglar exclaimed, “DAMN!” as he fell to the ground and I pummeled him, striking as hard as I could.
“You filthbag, die.”
He grabbed my hands and dominated me.
“What the heck is going on here?”
Sally said to me before turning on the lights.
‘“I mistook you for being at work.!”
“The f**k no, I went to pick up Tyrone at the airport. He came today, just as I told you yesterday.”
I suddenly got up from the person beneath me and said, “Oh? I’m really sorry, thank God. Woooo”
Then I understood that they were both naked and that I had been standing on top of a naked 6’1” man.Before I realized what I was doing, I continued to look at him for a while.
I shouted “Jesus Christ” and hurried inside to close the door. I tried to banish that gloriously bizarre vision from my mind since I could feel my cheeks getting hot. To be fair, this isn’t the first time I’ve seen a man in his underwear, but God in heaven, to look that sculpted is a crime. I think God definitely had a favorite!
I had hoped Tyrone had left for work or something that morning, but lo and behold, Mr. Adonis was perched on the island, icing his head.
He had scythe-shaped eyebrows and a top fade haircut. His oaken jaw was positioned above a Roman nose and half-domed cheekbones. His hulking build included broad shoulders.
He had round, dark eyes that matched his mildly sun-tanned complexion perfectly. I could go on forever on...
“Hey!”
When I saw that he caught me staring, I quickly recovered.
“Considering beating me once more? “He held out his hand with a rolling pin, “Here you could use this one.”
“I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience. My God, I swear I thought you were a thief.”
“Well, it’s comforting to know that the security here is of the highest caliber.”
Sally took a spatula and struck him in the back before he could finish.
“Please don’t treat my cousin badly; she’s still a baby.”
I felt as though his eyes were piercing me: “You don’t appear like a baby to me. What’s your age?
I boldly proclaimed, “I’m 20”
“and she’s coming to work in your rest or rant.”
“What the heck? Working what?”
“You agreed following last night. Keep it in mind, “
“I don’t know what you’re……hey you cunning snake!”
He descended from the island and pounced on Sally.
As I took Wena out for a walk around the neighborhood for some small shopping, I was very much unaware of whatever s****l crime they were having in the center of the kitchen.
I returned a little over an hour later to find Sally frolicking around the house in 14 percent clothing.
“Yaya honey, I received some tea about a bachelor party at the club today, and I’m the headliner tonight,”
“Ok?”I said, dropping Wena and my purchases, “You’re accompanying me to work…”
“Oh, does it imply I have a chance to work as a bartender? “
“Why bother? There would be some stacked hotties there because you’re coming to have fun, wink wink.”
Ugh why did she have to say wink wink.
“I am celibate, zenning my body, and I have never been to a strip club.”
“You’re still young, and your c******s will vanish if you don’t use it, so get a life, darling. How do you suppose I met Tyrone?”she asks, tucking my hair behind my ear.
“And we need to do something your hair.”
, “You know I was actually planning on cutting and changing the color.”
She grins and slaps my shoulder
“Why didn’t you say so !what color, though? What haircut? I have photos on my phone. You must at some point in your life be willing to undergo change.”
I backed a bit
“Wow, relax. All it is, Sally Oprah Winfrey, is a haircut. I won’t be using the knife to undergo a bbl.”
She touches my breast in jest.
You need to add some fat to those two pebbles of yours, speaking of knives.
“Sal, I am fine and don’t need your double Ds you got from granny. I have the t**s of an average American woman.”
She acts distressed.
“Oh my, how could you. Chop chop, hurry to the restroom.”
With my new dark brown low cut, I peered in the mirror.My hair was miraculously cut to my liking, and Sally provided me a white sequin low cut little dress that revealed curves I had no idea I had till today. I’ve always worn jeans and a t-shirt to pretty much every occasion. Don’t hold it against me; my mum has always done my shopping.
“You look fantastic,”I looked away from the mirror to see Tyrone staring me down. If he weren’t so attractive, I would have thought he appeared foolish.
I said “thank you” while I quickly calculated how, why, and when he had entered the guest restroom.
“You must be going out with Sally, I suppose. “
“Yes, while she’s working . A night out for me.”
“You know, I actually used to go there a lot.”
“She previously told me that’s how the both of you met.”
His gorgeous, obviously-paid-for teeth sparkle like my mother’s China as he grinned.As soon as he left the restroom, I started to feel quite self-conscious. There is merely something strange about him.
“Tanya f*****g Chrysanthemum Davis Hawke”
“Not that middle name, please. “
I mock shamefully hide my face.
“You appear to have fallen from the sky.”
“I’m grateful.”
“No, really, God was patient with the Davis girls. We need to leave right away, but when I have time, we’re going to replace your entire wardrobe. “
I left Wena in Tyrone’s care as we sped off to Palazios Cabaret in Sally’s red Ford F.
