Chapter 6

1546 Words
If it were any other person, they'd be intoxicated and laying on their bed sick to their stomach when they've down 5 glasses of wine and 4 glasses of fine scotch. Chinenye however was still in her right mind and even dressed up to kill as she sat at the back of her land rover range rover 2020 as her driver drove her to her favorite bar. She still had a bottle of scotch in her hand and savoured the taste every now and then as she patiently waited to reach their destination. She didn't really have anything in mind, infact that was all she wanted, not having anything in mind, nothing at all, nothing that would bother her and nothing that would make her recount old stories from her past. Although she just buried her father, the last thing she wanted to do was bask in the memories that she wished would follow the bastard to the grave. Yet she knew that was impossible. Her scars bore too deep and it could never heal, even when the bastard was gone. Her driver finally packed the car and was at her door in a second opening it for her so she could come out. She stepped down from the car nodding at her driver then took long beautiful precise steps towards the bar's entry way. As she got into the bar the loud music and on going conversations from people around her filled her ear. She smiled slightly before she made her way to the bar. As she took her seat, the younger barman immediately took notice in her, although he wasn't the only man taking notice in Faith in the bar. "You look beautiful Tonight madam, what would you like to drink tonight", he said smiling generously at the beautiful CEO, ready to take order. She smiled back at the barman and thought through her options for some second. "Scotch, no ice", she said finally, deciding to continue with what she's been having previously. Before she could observe around her, her scotch was already placed in front of her. She nodded in pleasantry before tasting the brand of scotch that had less of a burn that what she gad been taking a while ago. Still enjoying the taste, she took another sip, appreciating the drink. "Why hello", a male voice interrupted her sipping, making her drop her glass to look at who she would probably spend a good time with after a couple of drinks. She was graced with the site of a familiar but handsome site of a chocolate skinned man with a perfectly trimmed beard that suited him perfectly. She took her time to observe all of the details on him probably because it wasn't her first time of meeting the man. He was the man from the previous night, she thought to herself as she gave him a smile in the place for hello. "Thought I'd never see you again", he said placing his drink on the counter in front of her, making her use her eyes to follow his arm, noticing his obvious muscles that surrounded his arms. No wonder I slept with him she thought, chuckling to herself at her thought. "Well, I guess your prayers were answered", she said turning her gaze from him and back to her drink. "To be blessed with a goddess like you is more of a miracle than a prayer", Caleb said complimenting her, hoping it would make her show more signs of her interest in him because he hadn't observed any so far. She was a difficult person to read. Chinenye scuffed at the man's comment, unimpressed at his attempt to get her back in bed with him. It was a shame she never repeated her snacks because he was quite a catch. "You should join me at a table", he said again trying to call her attention again, but she wasn't going to give him the chance to get her again, that was never going to happen, no matter how much of a catch he was. "I rather stay here. The drinks are closer", Faith said with a wicked smirk playing on her lips before she took another sip of her scotch, she couldn't deny that she wanted him to try a bit harder, just for the fun of it, just to make her a bit entertained, until she felt a toy that she would play with tonight. "I guess you're right". Caleb dragged the nearest stool and brought it right by her, taking a place at the counter. "Scotch, hard to find a lady who can handle scotch", he says rolling up his sleeves and grabbing Chinenye's attention once again. "Well, I'm one of the few", she said finishing up her glass and dropping the empty glass back on the counter as she signaled the bar tender for another. Caleb watched her with admiration in his eyes for the beautiful woman. He didn't know her but the little he's seen has had him wanting to see her again and again and not just for s*x, but something more. He wasn't a fan of dating, but he couldn't deny how much he wanted the woman all to himself and no one else's. The bar tender poured her another glass and left them alone again to answer other customers. Caleb still couldn't get his eyes of the strange woman, he wanted to know so much more about her, but he only prayed that heaven would permit. Chinenye could feel his eyes on her but couldn't care less, he was distracting her a bit from being with her thoughts and she didn't mind that one bit. "You stay around here?", He asked trying to get a little information out of the woman. "Born and brought", she said plainly taking the glass to her mouth once more. "Funny I've never met you before, Eko is a small city after all", he says actually trying to remember if he had seen her anywhere but the memory of the beauty didn't seem to click. "I guess I'm scarce", she chuckled, using her finger to play with the tip of her glass, while a small smile played on her lips. "Well, I guess I am kinda scarce as well", he points out before downing his entire glass and calling for a refill. "Bourbons on the rocks. And put her tab on me", he said and Chinenye shook her head still smiling at the man's gesture to pay for her drink in a club she owned, it was quite endearing. "Sir, the Madam's tab is already being taken cared of", the bar tender said, before running along to get his drink. "How endearing", Chinenye said as she turned to him to face him and got caught in his eyes. "Well, I am nothing short of a gentleman", he said not breaking the stare that they both shared. She stared at the man back and for a moment her number one rule of changing snacks skipped her mind. A wave of lust for the man flashed through her body, she now couldn't deny how much she would like to take him in bed again. "I wish we could get to know each other more", he said and his words almost made her laugh at his face. Know her more? He wasn't ok with a one night stand and she couldn't deny that he was almost getting lucky tonight, but he had to insinuate them knowing each other more. "Well, if wishes were horses", she said with intention to mock him before turning around to sip some of her scotch again. "I'm Caleb Anozie", he said introducing himself to the woman, hoping to spend more time with her again. "I'm Faith", she said, leaving out her last name on purpose, before standing up to her feet. "No last name", he asked Wondering what got her up so fast, his name or his wish? "It's nice meeting you Mr Anozie", she said before grabbing her drink. "I'll take my leave now", and before he could say out another word, the woman was gone and disappeared into the crowd. Getting the hint that she wasn't interested in anything but intimacy he turned around and thought himself how foolish he was. He gulped down his drink and called the bar tender for another. "Bourbon", he asked and he nodded back. "Keep them coming", he said. The bar tender came back with the bottle. "Looks like you aren't on the right foot with boss", he said trying to make conversation. "Boss?", Caleb asked in surprise at the the bar man's choice of words. "Yes sir. She owns this building", the younger man said dropping the bottle beside Caleb's glass. "She owns the building. What's her name?", He asked Happy to grasp a little more information on his mystery woman. "Mrs Peters is what I know her as. She owns a company, can't really remember what it's called", the man said try to remember, but he had already given Caleb enough information, at least enough to know everything about her if she really is a CEO. She'd be easy to fish out. "Hm", he said already trying to taste the name on his tongue. Faith Peters.
