The Tourist

The Tourist

Chapter 9

I walked in to the semi clubestaurant the vibe was chilled it was a mixture of races I enjoyed that feeling, I ordered fries with hot wings with 3 cocktails and went to sit down and devour the music was fresh and upbeat, I finished my food and drank my cocktail why surveying the place as soon as I started my 2nd cocktail, a very handsome gentleman with a beautiful smile I’ve ever seen came and asked to join me, “my lady, is this seat taken?” “You may”, I said and drank my cocktail his body structure had me thirsty to a point where I unconsciously gulped the whole drink

He smiled and said, “What is the beautiful lady doing sitting alone and drinking in a place full of people” I looked into his iris they were violet-like Brandon’s but his was more hypnotic it went together with his smile you will end up saying yes to everything, I put my poker face on and sipped my cocktail had a smirk and I looked at him again

Vanessa: “Ah well what can I say, it a beautiful night I just want to enjoy it by myself”

I took my phone out and dialed Antonio after 3 rings he picked up

Antonio: “Antonio to the rescue”

Vanessa: “Yeap”

Antonio: “Now?”

Vanessa: “Ahah”

Antonio: “I’m on my way”

Unknown: “In that case, I’d like to be your chaperone for the night I am Sherlock Yashu Abdul”

No kidding

Vanessa: “Pleasure to make your acquaintance Mr. Abdul, So what is a fine gentleman like you doing here on this lovely night alone?” I made sure to smirk in the end so he sees I’m down for the games

Sherlock: “I work across the street and this is my go to place, I can’t help notice that you have an accent”

Vanessa: “So say’s the pot calling the kettle black” He laughed and just then Antonio called “Mmmh,” I answered”, “I’m at the door,” he said “Roger that” I said and hung up and downed my almost finished drink “We’ll finish this conversation next time Mr. Abdul, until then adios” I stood up and left and got in the car and we left…

“Well that was fun” Antonio laughed

Antonio: “Someone bothering you?”

Vanessa: “More like disturbing my peace, thanks for stopping by”

Antonio: “Pleasure miss, I was about to go home anyway after dropping you I’m going straight home”

We came to my stop I gave him $100 which he refused but ended up taking after some persuasion, he asked me to call him if I needed a tour guide or driver his happy to help, such a lovely guy he is I walked into the house Brandon and Stacy were cuddling on the couch watching tv

Stacy: “Back so soon?”

Vanessa: “Yes mami, so many horny guys out there couldn’t deal” I’m not one for swaying hips when I walk cause my ass already does the job just fine but the fact that Brandon was looking at me made me sway that extra as I left to my room

I rid myself of any clothing’s, I wore my working out outfit I wasn’t even near tipsy I worked out I’m not sure for how long cause when I checked the time it was going for 11pm I stopped and to my shock Brandon was sitting and looking at me I regarded him and walked past and he grabbed my waist, “Vanessa”, he said with a husky voice and I knew he was horny

“Brandon please, I don’t want to get into trouble” he kissed me after that I pushed him and slapped him “please don’t, don’t do this” he looked at me breathing through his nose fist held tight, I didn’t see it coming but the impact pushed me off balance he slapped me with his backhand I didn’t even look up, I didn’t understand what was going on I wasn’t sure whether I was in or out of shock

Brandon: “You expect me to be fine, with you going out looking like that? Showing off to other guys when you know how I feel about you, just a simple kiss”

My ears you better not be deceiving me, Lord please let him not be a psychopath, I looked at him and walked away, I got into my room locked the doors pulled my phone and connected it to the speaker played some music and went to shower, my limbs were aching but I wasn’t paying any attention to the water or my limbs I was replaying what just happened until the water started turning cold, I went out dried myself and put some ointment on my cheek put my pajamas on and I slept through the music

……………

The following morning, I stayed in bed and never left my room, I woke up took a shower then googled for the nearest gym which was a 10minute drive, I got dressed and dialed Antonio’s number and luckily he was in the neighborhood I wore a hoody with black shades just for dramatic effect the gym was titled KDY Antonio dropped me off and went, I didn’t want to be permanent so I paid for the afternoon and got a trainer we did boxing mainly for 30 minute and the corner of my eye caught someone approaching

“Glad to see you here miss.” He said, oh yeah no I’m not I thought I turned and smiled, “I’m glad to be seen by you Mr Abdul”

Sherlock: “Ha ha ha, you’re a funny one I like it, corky, funny and sneaky oh not to mention the smart mouth”

Vanessa: “Haha whatever, what can I do for you?” I walked to the treadmill and started running

Sherlock: “I’d like to get to know you if you don’t mind”

“Sure” I said and started running, I finished working out at 05:30 pm and contemplated on calling Antonio so I walked for another 30 minute my body was burning with pain and sweat I arrived in the house and Stacy was in the kitchen drinking wine and Brandon making dinner, if I wasn’t upset with him he would’ve been a sight for my tired eyes

“Evening” I said without even looking at them “you look really beat” said Stacy “that an understatement” I left to my room and filled the bathtub with water and bath salt and bubbles I must’ve slept because I woke up cause of the banging in my bathroom door and the water was called “just a minute” I called out I quickly dried myself and stepped out of the bathroom with a towel Brandon was leaning by the main door and looking down

Vanessa: “What can I do for you Brandon?”

Brandon: “You missed dinner so I thought I should bring it up for you”

Vanessa: “You didn’t have to you could’ve left it in the microwave but thanks for the trouble”

He looked at me and stepped forward I immediately stepped back on instinct and my towel slipped from my hands I caught it with quick reflex and my boobs were on display and I covered them quickly, Stacy walked in without knocking and I thought to myself that was a close one

Stacy: “Babe our show is about to start”

They left and I sat on the bed staring at nothing and just zoned out thinking what the hell is going on? By the time I got my conscious back, I went to clean the bathtub wore my gown took the food to warm it and ate then I went to sleep.
