*CHAPTER 13*
????????????
Jimmy steps out of his car and makes his way
upstairs. His butler seeing his countenance
moves out of his way.
”Good evening Sir” he greets him opening his
door wide for him to p@$$.
Jimmy doesn’t answer as he brushes past him
taking off his suit flinging it to the corner of
the chair as he makes his way to his mini bar,
p-ulling out a wine from the crate, taking a
gl@$$ and pouring a hu-ge amount in it.
He gulps it down quickly. He tips the bottle
again and fills his gl@$$. He finishes it in two
gulps, he pours a third round.
”Easy Sir” The butler says.
”Mind your business, or you want to be tossed
out on the streets?” Jimmy hisses right before
he empties the gl@$$. He takes the bottle and
his gl@$$ and sinks into the chair. His eyes
cold, his jaw set.
He was angry.
No, angry was an un-derstatement. He was
livid.
”No Sir, my apologies” He replies. His eyes
goes to Jimmy’s shirt. His white shirt was
ruined and patched red in some places. That
wasn’t blood because Jimmy didn’t look as if
he was bleeding. Must be wine or some red
liquid.
Yet! His boss didn’t look this messed up when
he stepped out of his house this evening for the
pa-rty tonight. Infact he was all smiles, even
ecstatic about his speech and how he was
confident that the ideas he was going to pitch
to the board of directors would remove any
atom of doubt in their minds.
The butler stares at him, watching Jimmy’s
features ha-rden even more, wondering what he
is even thinking about.
Knowing asking him if anything was the matter
would do more harm than good. He keeps
quiet and went about his duties.
*
Jimmy hisses, his eyes staring into space as
he is seated in his chair.
He was the best candidate for the President
job. which is only a stepping stone to what he
desi-res to achieve.
Yes!! so many things he wants to achieve. it
was not just his right, it was also because that
he knew he would do better at it.
What was the point being in a place of position
and not able to enjoy the wealth that comes
with it. Look at the Mayor.. President of the
Heritage group for over a decade, Mayor for 5
years… he was a rich mudafxxer already with
everything he wants he gets and everyone at his
beck and call.
So why can’t he also be able to enjoy all these
and more? It was his right. it was. No matter
what was said or what he did. He still deserves
everything.
But Jaime?
But Jamie fxxking Lockswire. Who came and
ruined everything for him.
He hated him, he did.
He forgets the gl@$$ and tips some more
liquid down his throat. He coughs.
Ever since Jaime happened, everything had gone
to shits for him .
Okay, not to give the pretty boy all the credit
but it wasn’t his own fault that what happened
happened.
Humans weren’t perfect, they made mistakes
and he did. And to make it worse, ever since
then the Mayor has held it over his head like an
overbearing torch every frigging time he set out
to do something .
But yet, ” Jaime is good at this, Jaime is great
at that”
”Fxxk Jaime !!” he flings the empty bottle to
the wall and watches it scatter, the Butler
winces.He wipes his nose.
What else can he do to make that boy simply
disappear into oblivion? His threats just keep
backfiring. If only the Mayor would allow the
boy pull out in peace, no one would be able to
contend with him. But No!! pushing him into
everyone’s face like he was some king.
Damn you!!
”I am King Jacob Wellington. Me, not Jaime,
never Jaime and i deserve all that you give to
him and more. It is my right goddammit.
Mine!!! ” he angrily stands up and paces the
length of the room.
He pauses when his eyes catches his
reflection by the side mirror from the table bar.
His anger toppling.
Alexander!!
”Oh wait till i lay my eyes on you, you will
wish you never had to raise your pretty hands
on me. You would wish to never had being in
the company of Jaime. I don’t know what
game he is pla-ying at but be rest @$$ured i pay
tit for tat. Ask Bekky, there is a reason she
feared me” He stares down at his shirt. ”Oh
you can’t!”
”Stupid bitc-h!!!” he stri-ps away from the shirt
and tosses it to a corner.
”Get rid of that shirt and the suit, infact get rid
of everything and ask the fitter to get me
another complete suit. The bitc-h ruined that. ”
He takes off his trousers and flings it too.
Padding upstairs with his boxers and
disappearing out of sight.
The butler takes his cloths, puts it in a bag
and se-nds it out to the bin. He was thankful
that his Boss’s bad mood had nothing to do
with him. It was better to be in the devil’s bad
side than Jimmy’s.
*
”Mother, do you think Jaime would like this
colour? ” Christine asks her mother.
They are seated across from each other as
Christine coats her nails. She shows her her
coated nails. It is a bright red.
”I am sure he would.” Her mother says
abse-ntmindedly.
”You aren’t looking at them Mother” Christine
takes her fin-gers to her mother’s face, Her
mother grabs her hands, stares at them and
then nods.
”Yes he would. Is there anything else you want
me to take a look at too”
”What is that supposed to mean mother?”
Christine raises an eyebrow.
”Oh like since you got back it is Jaime this ,
Jaime that. Not forgetting that for over how
many years you simply kicked him to the side
walk”
”You don’t nee-d to remind me about that and
besides-” She began but was cut off.
”Besides…here you are going all Jaime. Is that
why you were hell bent on coming back?”
”I wonder whose side you are on” Christine
frowns at her mother. ”You wanted me to come
back”
”Your side and i have always wanted you to be
around because i believe being here is better
for you. But you have always refused until
now…” She points out.
Christine thins her li-ps answering.
”Because i wanted to obey you Mother!” She
shrugs.
”No ! Because you have interior motives of
coming back and it has nothing to do with
me.”
”And here i thought we were going to have
some girl’s time!” Christine rolls her eyes.
”Such a joy killer!”
Her mother sighs turning to her. ”I love you
Christine, i do. But you nee-d to be sure about
what you want!”
”I want Jaime!!”
”For the now or for -”
”Oh come off it mother, you have always
wanted me and Jaime together”
”True, but still i wanted you to be happy. And
you both were then..before you..before you–”
She trails off.
”Ran away with his bestfriend who eventually
dumps her for his second aunt. Yes mother, i
know. i was in the script remember? i know
who the villain is in this story”
”Correct me if I’m wrong; it is not you right?”
Her mother leans back folding her hands and
stares at her.
”Ofcourse it is not me mother. It is is that je-rk
Prince. He promised me the world and i had
no idea he was promising his second aunt
too.”
Her mother shakes her head ”Jaime loved you
and we all thought you felt thesame way and
then about you both ending up together as a
family was our wish as much as yours we
thought. But when you left, all that did too. It’s
been years Christine. You don’t wound a man
and expect him to remain thesame for you”
Christine drops her legs from the table where
she had placed it on earlier ”Time heals, it
healed him and besides, we were young and i
was stupid. There! Are you happy?”
”No. I just want to make sure that you aren’t
about to do the same thing. Jaime is a good
man, albeit not exactly in the best of his days
now but i would pick him over Jimmy any day”
”Jaime is the best and Jimmy is the bitter
frog, And no mother, i intend to keep him this
time. He..loves me still, i saw the look in his
eyes when he hu-gged me’
”Maybe he was just happy to see you” Her
mother offers.
Christine frowns ”I refuse to think it that way.
But this time i intend to keep him mother, and
i only accepted to be nominated because i
wanted to be closer to him and let him know
that i intend to accept responsibilities. He has
to know that i have changed Mother, other than
that why bother.? ” She bl-ows her nails.
”Also, imagine him being the president and
me, his wife mother? And if and when he
eventually becomes Mayor, i would be the
next most important person next to him
mother, you see why i nee-d to make this
work? Our stars have been aligned ever since.
I was just too stupid to realize it”.
”So you don’t love the man but what he is is
what you love?” Her mother taps her jaw.
”Mother don’t be ridiculous!! What is there not
to love about Jaime? He is every girl’s dreams”
”Not just yours!!!”
”Whose side are you really on mother because
it looks as though you are hell bent to piss on
my parade” Christine frowns and eyes her
mother.
”Again..yours Christine. I am just trying to
un-derstand you. And again, Jaime has also
changed, especially with this fiasco with
Jimmy. He doesn’t nee-d more on his plate”
”Jimmy will always be Jimmy but Jaime nee-ds
someone like me to ha-rden his skin against
him. He isn’t someone he can ignore
considering the situation but i can help make
sure that Jimmy knows his place. I am back
now mother, i would make him better, he
nee-ds me in his life”
”Maybe he nee-ds someone else other than you”
Her mother gets up walking away. She follows
her.
”Like who, that girl? You did see her @$$ all
over the place!!” She rolls her fin-ger.
”That @$$ set Jimmy straight!!” Her mother
points back at her.
Christine scoffs ”So what now, she is some
special person to Jaime, is that what you are
saying and some manual reset to Jimmy
because she slapped him and poured him
wine? ”
”No, because …” She trails off placing one
hand on her wa-ist and the other to her temple
”Oh i don’t know Christine. Maybe because she
is a nobo-dy with history with him and maybe
because he nee-ds that sort of distraction..””I am distraction enough mother. I am
beginning to wonder if you are my mother,
instead of you to support me you are saying
something else” She folds her hands.
”I have always supported you..you know that i
won’t ever stop. but what kind of a mother do
you think i am if i don’t make sure you you are
doing the right thing?”
”Just be my mother, support me the way you
have always done. Allow me do the hell i want
and stay out of my business. I am doing the
right thing; i came back for my man, and you
are going to be my mother and let it be.
Besides you were pushing for a marriage and
grandchildren and here i am working it and you
suddenly have a thought?”
”Oh Christine-”
”No Mother.!!” She raises her hand to cut her
off.
”You have always been stubborn ”
”Yes!! And you have been nothing but a push
over, no wonder dad left you for his secretary!”
Whamp!!
Christine held her face. It burned.
Her mother gasps closing her mouth almost at
the same time ”I am so sorry..baby i am-” She
moves to touch her,
”Save it!!” Christine turns and walks away. The
next minute the door bangs, her mother
follows calling after her to see her entering her
car and zooming away.
She turns away.
She didn’t mean to hit her.
She knew where she was going to, where she
always goes to. She would be fine, when she
gets back she would make her favorite food and
apologize to her .
*
Alexander’s reflex was fast.
One minute she has a shocked expression on
her face and the next her palm had made
contact with his cheeks.
”Damnit!!” he curses touching his face and
staring ha-rd at her.
”I said no ki-ssing you bloody moron!!!” she
wipes her mouth with a frown on her face as
she nudges him away from her ”That’s it! You
make rules and expect me to keep it. Yet i
give you one tiny rule and you break it! How
dare you ki-ss me you…argh!!!” she exclaims
moving further away from him pointing at him
with her eyes spitting fire.
God !!
She had never been ki-ssed , like actually really
ki-ssed by a man. Infact, She found it
disgusting .
T he only thing she had had close to ki-ssing
was when her father covered his mouth over
hers and su-cked on them till she couldn’t
breath. She was still a child; or when those
men stuck their tongues down her throat when
she worked at a walk in restaurant.
She hated it. She hated their li-ps on hers, their
stinking breaths even more and the we-tness and
disgusting bile it causes to rise from her throat.
Most times she puked; deliberately when they
for-ce her. They stopped asking for it, she never
offered to.
If this was what ki-ssing was? She wanted not
pa-rt of it.
She had always wondered the joy people
derived from ki-ssing..she skipped movie
scenes with it, she turns her face away when
she meets people on the streets making out,
she hated it. And she made it a rule .
She never ki-sses her clients/customers and
they never demand for it. Her bo-dy was
enough . If they obeyed that tiny rule. .just
one..then they were a go .
She didn’t care about it..neither does she want
it nor will she ever enjoy something as sticking
tongue down each other’s throats and
exchanging saliva and making stupid sounds .
All she knew was that she hated it, as much as
she hated s-x, just like she hated men..most
especially her father. She couldn’t avoid s-x
because she lived and earned from it,She had to
survive on the streets right? And good thing she
was far away from her father.. she would be
glad if he was dead and rotten … but at least
she could keep them away from her mouth .
Especially their stinking breaths and disgusting
thick saliva …
“Disgusting !!” She spat again wiping her
mouth the second time. “I swear to God Jaime
Lockswire..you put your mouth again on mine
and I will bite off your li-ps and spit it down
your throat” she fumes.
Jaime drops his hand “You sure like to use
your hands without a care don’t you?” He
frowns. It stings.
“When it’s nee-ded”
He touches his face again. He wanted to spite
her. He didn’t like that he gave her rules and
she was stating hers .
Okay, it was a stupid thought .
He never likes to ki-ss girls he is with. Ever
since Christine. . He has been detached from
women emotionally. Everything was just
physical, to satisfy a nee-d if nee-ds be. Other
times… it was just just a p@$$ing moment.
He didn’t even know why he did it. ki-ss her
that is.
Stupid thought.
But who the hell does she think she is to slap
him?
His frown de-epens. Now he was really upset.
He takes two steps towards her.
“Apologize!!” He hisses when he got close to
her.
“Hell no!! You apologize, you broke my rule.
You placed your disgusting mouth on mine. I
will do no such thing.”
“Alexander apologize dammnit! And my mouth
isn’t disgusting, infact it is cleaner than
yours !!”
“I won’t. I don’t want you ki-ssing me I don’t
want you ki-ssing me.!!” She bellows “You want
to have s-x since you are paying for my
services. Fine. I can lay on the be-d and you
can go. But you don’t touch my li-ps. You don’t
cud-dle me and your frigging don’t ambush me
while I sleep . Just three rules and you
already break one. Just so you know I am not
obligated to obey any of your stupid rules .
Disgusting !!” She wipes her li-ps again.
He steps closer, she was making him angrier
“Apologize Alexander and you will do no such
thing! !’ He hisses
“You won’t make me. !!”
“You wouldn’t apologize ?” He goes closer, she
steps away.
“Never !!” She matches his anger. She was
close to the wall and he infront of her.
“Then you are so going to get it !!” He closes
the distance again,this time he nudges her to
the wall, pins her to it, with one quick move he
has both of her hands over her head pining
them there, his bo-dy pressing into her to pin
her to the wall, he grabs her face and smashes
his li-ps to hers again.
She struggles but he was stronger, she was
ba-rely moving.
Jaime ki-sses her out of anger and to punish
her for refusing to apologise.
And he doesn’t stop even as she struggles.
She hates ki-sses right?she was going to get it
until she learns some manners.
Alexander seeing there was no use struggling
suddenly stops.
He felt her stop. But he doesn’t let go off her..
The for-ce he had used in ki-ssing her suddenly
wanes down. Without moving away from her
li-ps. .
“Would you apologize?” He says against her
li-ps.
“If you think by doing this would make me
apologize to you? You are out of your mind”
she chokes
He wants to for-cefully ki-ss her right? He should
go ahead. Men, just like her father. They were
all thesame.
She can pretend. Fighting never stopped them .
“Then maybe you wouldn’t mind my smelling
li-ps to linger even more. Apologize! ” he says.
He had every intention of making her as angry
as she made him.
“No!!”
“Fine!!”
This time his li-ps touches hers..slowly.
Only for a tiny breath second before the voice
behind him causes him to pause and turn
sharply. .
“Jaime?”
