She kept honking till the security stepped out
of his booth.
“Open the gate! “‘ she screams at him in
anger. Her face still stings from her mother’s
slap.
“Sorry Ma’am, I did ask for your ID and if Mr
Jaime is aware you are coming to visit or you
have an appointment but you refuse to answer
me. Honking nonstop wouldn’t let me open the
gate for you without that information Ma’am”
he says to her.
“I said open the gate. Your boss will have your
head if he realizes that you kept me outside
waiting. Do you know who I am to him? Open
the gate dammit ”
“Ma’am if you don’t leave I might have to call
the security agency and inform them of a
tresp@$$er ” the security at the gate answers
her touching his security phone on his
shoulders.
“Oh you….” she grabs her phone and dials.
The number kept ringing nonstop and no
answer. “You wait and…” Dammit !!” She
exclaims.
“If you don’t open this gate I would run it
throu-ghand you know you are done for.” She
makes to reverse.
“Ma’am, I won’t do that. Kindly provide me with
the information I nee-d and I would confirm and
get back to you”
“I do not nee-d to introduce myself to get into
my man’s house you fool!!”
“Man?”
“Yes Man.. now open the bloody gate!!”
He shakes his head. To the best of his
knowledge, his boss had no girlfriend. The
occasional women who came never lasted. The
last one did a bit; but now she was gone and
he had another one already.
But yet, he had never introduced them as his
girlfriend …or his woman .
No! He doesn’t know her and there was no way
he was letting her in.
So he told her, she flares up screaming at
him.
Maybe he should just call the security agency
first.

Adam had taken a stroll to the gate, when he
heard the noise. Frowning he opens and steps
out when he sees her.
Christine turns at that moment.
“Adam? Tell him to open the gate before I run
him throu-ghit ” she screams from her car. She
was pissed already. She didn’t nee-d some
security to annoy her further.
Adam steps closer, he is scratching his head.
“Ma’am!!”
“Tell him to open the gate or are you going to
pretend as though you don’t know me.?”
“No of course Ma’am, he is new. I apologize
on his behalf and-”
“The gate Adam!!” She cuts him.
He scratches his head and stares at the
security.
“I don’t know her and Boss wouldn’t like
someone to just barge in. You know how he
gets about things.” The security offers.
Adam nods.
Yet, Jaime is in there with the new girl.
And Christine. ..Christine was ..Christine .
She wouldn’t go until she gets what she wants
and most often than not, she leaves the core
shaken to its roots .
Yes, he knows Christine. Jaime’s first love.
Maybe even his last .
But she left him, years back and now she was
back. Only God knows what for .
They have remained friends over the
years..close friends. Far away friends and a
breeze-in-and-out-hang-out kinda friends.
But from the conversation he overhead while
he was in the car while she was standing with
Jaime outside, she said she had come back for
him.
But Jaime was already damaged .
He didn’t nee-d someone who came for the
dance. He nee-ded someone who would pla-y the
music with him.
Yes, he was Jaime’s driver and a bo-dyguard,
but he sees. He knows things and he has been
the longest with Jaime .
And he can say this, Christine was no good for
Jaime .
And this recent lifestyle he had on was no good
for him either .
The mess with Jimmy was twice as no good
for him .
In fact. .. what Jaime nee-ds isn’t any of these.
But what can he say? He was a mere driver and
occasional bo-dyguard. He can’t say Nothing.
But what is he supposed to do now? Don’t let
her in and she raises hell. Let her in and she
what?
Well.. Jaime was an adult he can deal with the
situation. Not like he is doing anything bad .
Well.. his be-droom business isn’t his business .
And he wasn’t dating Christine. .not for years
now. But.. a woman who says she came back
for a man wouldn’t care that they aren’t dating ,
she would make an issue out of it… or maybe
not.
He takes his phone and begins to dial. No
answer. He dials again.
Maybe the be-d-matics have begun or whatever
they are both doing in there .
Christine’s voice pierces throu-ghhis thoughts
again.
“I don’t get it, did he tell you to stop me? Is
that it?” She yells at them.
“No, he is actually indisposed at the moment
Ma’am” Adam mutters.
“Open the damn gate or order him to or I
would ram you both in so help me God”
Knowing Christine. She would.
And his boss wasn’t picking. He sighs.
“Open the gate ”
“But you-”
“Just do it. It’s better to sit on top of a roof
than remain in the same place with a nagging
woman. ” he says it to his ears only.
Sighing the security let’s her in. She drives
past and parks, heading towards the hu-ge
building.
Adam follows behind her.
She gets down and begins to head into the
mansion.
“I think you should try calling him again, and-”
“Save it Adam.”
He sighs following behind her..
She stops and turns… ”I know the way Adam,
you don’t nee-d to show me around ”
“I -”
She stares him down, he backs away..
“After you Ma’am” he places a hand before him
directing her
“Only Me. You can go back to doing your –
your duties ” She turns away,touching the wall
as it moves open for her. She disappeared
inside and out of sight.
Adam sighs.
Maybe he should just stick around incase
Christine decides to be Christine. The one he’ll
pity is the new girl , The Call Girl, what’s her
name again..Alexander !
Then he frowns.
Earlier, while Jaime brou-ght her downstairs over
his shoulders and dropped her, they had
laughed, Jaime had laughed wholeheartedly.
That was a surprise, a very big one. a good
surprise in fact.
Adam is pensive.
Whatever had happened in there , that dinner
that got Jaime laughing carefree like that had to
be something worth it.
But one minute he was Jaime, the Jaime he
knew then back to this Jaime, he is still trying
to un-derstand .
Adam touches his jaw.
This issue with Jimmy is going from bad to
worse and it things aren’t tackled in time, who
knows how it would explode and who would get
hurt in the process.
Maybe Jaime should just do what his father
wants,after all. . He was his son. Screw
Jimmy,he lost it all when he went south.
Adam shakes his head looking at the door..
wondering if he should go in or let Jaime
handle it.
Jaime would call him if he nee-ds him.
He turns away and goes back outside.
*
“Your Girlfriend is here ” Alexander hisses.
Jaime looks at her briefly but says nothing.
Later he would answer her.
“Jaime?” Christine repeats.
She knew her way up and headed straight to
his be-droom.
She could walk around the house without
tripping even if she was blind.
They had good memories here. And the not-so-
good. But every-time she was sad,happy, or
hor-ny… she always ended up here..that was
before Prince happened and whisked her away
out of states.
They, Prince and her had good years until his
affair and he eventually leaving her.
She shakes the thoughts away from her head.
Her mother had hit her. All because she
mentioned the truth. If she were not such a
freckle thing she would have made sure to put
her husband in his place when he began
cheating on her.
Christine bites her li-ps.
Her and her father are alike in those traits. Of
all things she gets his cheating trait, how very
corny big guy.
She looks up to the heavens, sighs shaking
her head and looks back to Jaime.
She had never told Jaime that prior before she
dumped him, she had two other lovers she was
slee-ping with. And then Prince a year later un-der
his nose. For two years.
Okay,it wasn’t that she didn’t love Jaime..in her
own twisted way she did. But… Jaime then was
a good boy,too good.
Girls like her like the dark bad boys. Boys who
aren’t afraid to be daring and taking risk. Jaime
was… Jaime. Sweet,caring , loving, gentle..love
making with him was amazing…
But..she was a wild girl and wild girls nee-ds a
tiger..and Jaime was a quiet little cub then. A
rich one but…
Argh!!
Jaime was still a boy then, young, didn’t do
much , never rebellious and she was the
opposite of him. He loved her, she knew
but..hell!, she wanted to be wild, free and slutty.
It was stupid but it was fun and she loved it,
every-bit of it. And she really wouldn’t have
thought of Jaime again if not Prince dumped
her, and well…she was bored with those men,
because they didn’t want to commit. she was
getting old and then she thought…if she came
back, there was Jaime, the man who loved her
more than he did himself then, he would love
her still. He would commit. He was that kind of
man who went all out when his heart was there,
and soon…wedding bells baby!!!
She knew he wasn’t married and even if there
was a girl, she would confidently kick her off
the curb , easy-peasy.
When it came to her there was no competition.
She would always be Jaime’s first and no one
really forgets their first. And on the plus side,
She heard his father wants him to be President
and she knows Mayor-ship follows, Screw what
Jimmy thinks and wants. ” Jaime for President”
and who better to be by his side than her, the
love of his life then, and now..she just has to
rekindle that fire.
Yes, that was why she returned and Christine
always gets what she wants.
But her…what is her role in all this. Why did
Jaime have her to the wall..where they–?
Her eyes turns to slits.
”Jaime, what are you doing..with her?” Her
voice is icy
Jaime spares Alexander a look, he returns his
gaze to Christine ”What are you doing here
Christine?”
She frowns ”I asked you a question, why do
you have her pinned to the wall and what-”
”Christine, this is my house, and i can do
whatever, why are you here?”‘
Okay, that wouldn’t work. first thing first. Get on
his soft side, she can deal with that chick later.
She crumbles her li-ps, get her crying face
game on and then runs to him crying…
”Jaime, Mama hit me, she slapped me, oh God
it hurts just because i said..oh Jaime, hold me,
hold me please i feel so broken”‘ she throws
herself at him hu-gging him to herself and burst
into tears, shaking, wailing, clinging and pushing
her bo-dy into him.
Jaime’s heart constricts. He had always hated
to see her cry, women especially.
His hands walk up to her back on their own
accord, holding her, cooing her to quiet ”I am
sorry Christine” he ru-bs her back and touches
her hair.
”I can’t go home, can i stay here tonight.
please?”
”Christine-”
”Please Jaime, please i can’t face her i just
can’t” She wails.
He sighs.
Alexander who had been filled with anger with
Jaime’s actions is suddenly disgusted. Wiping
her mouth again she leaves the wall, tying the
robe around her.
”I better leave while you smooch the freaking
hell out of your girlfriend”
”Yes Do, don’t return here ever again!!!”
Christine says against Jaime’s ne-ck, loud
enough for her to hear, then she goes back to
crying and holding Jaime, turning his face
towards her.
Maybe if she cries more and then leans in for a
ki-ss, he would ki-ss her back. It worked every
time then.
She moves his face to face hers, tip-toeing so
she can place a ki-ss on his li-ps as she ki-sses
his jaws first and reaches for his li-ps.
”Oh baby, i have no intention of that.!!”
Alexander says angrily.
She was going to pick her bag and leave,
screw Jaime and her Boss, if he doesn’t
respect her rules she was not working as his
Call Girl or giving him his service. He can
stick his dxxk down a tool box and pick a doll
for his Call Girl, she was going to tell her Boss
he had better find her someone else who
would be respectful enough to treat Call Girls
right, she may have to skip her pay for a
month. But He had better not fire her.
But she was going to tell him whether he likes
it or not that she can not, will not, and refuse
to be this Jaime Lockswire’s Call Girl, and if
he for-ces his li-ps on her again, one of them is
going to get hit by a bus and she would be the
one driving, so help her God.
Jaime moves his li-ps away from Christine’s
reach, she gasps..
”Alexander where the hell do you think you are
going to?” His jaws set. He moves Christine
away from his bo-dy and goes to Alexander.
A shocked Christine gasps again turning to
face them.
”What the actual HELL JAIME LOCKSWIRE!!!”
