????????????
A few hours later…
”Someone is looking for you Alexa” The tech
guy pushes his head throu-ghthe curtain .
”Who?” she doesn’t turn as she balances the
tray expertly on her hands and fishes inside her
pocket for her jotting pad. She had come to
use the restroom, she was going back out to
serve customers.
This was her daily routine everyday for the
past couple of years. She waits tables during
the day and then at night, she was queen of
the stri-p stage. And they loved her up there.
”Some dude, he came asking for Alexander”
She frowns ”He called my name, Alexander?”
”Yep, Alexander Bekington!!” He says walking
away ”He is in the VIP section”
Most people called her by her stage name
”Alexa” and those who knew her from the club
aside Tinny-B and Bekky who makes it a habit
to scream out her name, other than that..when
people wanted to see her..it was Alexa,
unless…
Oh…
”Hey Tony, let me guess”
The man pauses waiting for her to speak.
”Tall, handsome, got some co-ckiness around
him..looks too tush to be in a place like this?”
”You got it. Don’t forget you would be up in
another hour or so”
”Okay. Thanks”
”He is waiting in the VIP Lounge” He
disappears just as she enters.
”Who is waiting ”Tinny-B takes off her waitress
uniform coming to her.
”Jaime the annoying Lockswire, Bekky’s client I
am standing in for” Alexander says adjusting
the tray.
”Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh the se-xy hot stuff. Uhh uhh
can I go say hello?”
”Knock yourself out”
”Can I ki-ss him, touch his rack…give him a
twirl, cow-girl style?” She winks at her friend”
Alexander laughs ”Knock yourself out”
”Wheeeeeeeee!!!!” she clap-s and then
disappears after putting on a dress too short
even for her average height.
Alexander goes back to the restaurant to finish
serving her customers.
He can wait!!! Tinny-B is a hell of a company.
Poor him .
She smiles.
*
”Hello, I am Tinny-B, Alexander’s bestfriend
and you must be Jaime the handsome..hmmm
hm hmm” She bites her li-ps admiring him.
Jaime looks up from the magazine he is
fli-pping , his brow knots into a slight frown
”Where is Alexander?”
”Tinny-B here…don’t leave a girl’s hand
hanging ” she has her hands stretched before
her.
Jaime looks at it and then takes it , she
smiles.
”So pretty boy-” she released his hand and then
sinks into the chair opposite him.
He leans backwards shaking his head.
”What?”
”I am curious though, why is that the first thing
someone refer to me as? It is upsetting and I
would please ask that you don’t refer to me as
that”
She smiles ”Have you looked into the mirror
lately? You are all shades of Mr se-xy 2018 but
hey, it’s fine, I can call you Jaime yes?”
”Sure!”
”So how come you guys haven’t done the do
yet? Something wrong with the little guy?” she
nods towards that direction.
Jaime raises an eyebrow.
She smiles sheepishly.
“I am sorry, I am Alexander’s crazy friend with
the un-filtered mouth. Nice to meet
you..again! ” she stretches her hand to him,
laughter in her eyes.
*
He was ushered in, he nods to his securities to
stay behind as he enters.
”Sure why not. come in, call your securities to
come have a seat too, you want my chair, it
isn’t as fine as the one he is seated on but it’s
fine, please seat. I would get you water but …”
he trails off as he dusts his chair stepping
away from it.
”I @$$ume you know why I am here?” Jacob
Wellington inquires
‘Let me guess, Jaime”
”Have you being talking to him?”
”Such questions, don’t you talk to your
wife..Mayor?”
”Don’t be smart Jimmy!!”
”Ha!! A compliment, I would take that. I
actually thought you came all the way to
actually check up on me ..but as usual, you
care only about your poster boy for President ”
”Have you been threatening him Jimmy?” he
repeats.
Jimmy laughs ”’Right. So I have a few ideas I
think you would love. I am thinking of building
a casino , two actually. Then, you know the
Brookes? That place have been nothing but an
eye-sore with the rate of crime going on in
there so I think we should floor it, get everyone
out. It is government property anyways. They
all should go look for somewhere else to stay.
We nee-d to build a mini foot-ball pitch
and..oh, once I @$$ume position, I am thinking
of also building a statute at the entrance of the
Heritage group..one of you and of course me
and then we nee-d to stop the free Medicare
because it has been misused by the less
privileged and-”
”Are you listening to yourself?” Jacob touches
his temple shaking his head.
”I don’t get!!” Jimmy frowns and perches on his
table.
Jacob shakes his head ”Casino, statute, stop
the Medicare?”
”Yes!! Why not?”
”And you think the board would sign on it?”
”They love it! Yes they will. I have already been
speaking to a few and they are intune with it.
Once I become president-”
“I am still the president of the Heritage group
and I wouldn’t sign off on cutting the
un-derprivileged off their basic Medicare
amenities. Are you high? With the situation of
the country and their state we nee-d to do more
not cut them off. Already plans are in motion
to set up skills acquisition centers and other
things they might nee-d and you are thinking of
casinos, statues and whatnot?””
“So I can’t have a vision for something I want
in my city?” Jimmy thun-ders.
“Your city. You are not the Mayor either. I
am!!” Jacob thun-ders
“Only for a while..,”
“Yes, maybe but as a Mayor I can vet who I
think is more appropriate and my vetting takes
a good amount of votes. ”
“let me guess, your vetting already has a name
and a face? ” Jimmy sneers bitterly “You give
him everything!! Every goddamned thing as
though he belongs. You have no right to place
him above me! ”
“I do and you gave up that right when you
because this…this..person I can never count
on. So I ask you again, have you been
threatening him? ”
“Cut him off! He doesn’t want it anyways ”
“You didn’t answer my question ” Jacob stares
at him
“I don’t nee-d to threaten him Mayor. He who
seats in a hot room would eventually nee-d to
step out for air. Have you thought just maybe
he doesn’t like you as much? You see the
news.. He is tarnishing your image with that
lifestyle of his and yet you don’t care..yet you
roar when it was me”
Jacob turns away ” I have nothing to say to
you-you haven’t heard before. But for your
sake..you better not be behind his behavior ”
Jacob heads for the door.
“Unless what? “”
His question bounces off Jacob’s shoulders
unanswered.
Jimmy’s face turns to granite.
*
“Are you always this forward? ”
” Are you always this dodgy avoiding all my
questions?
Jaime stared ha-rd at Tinny-B. It’s been over
thirty minutes and yet no Alexander.
“Oh! Don’t worry, she wouldn’t be coming now”
Tinny-B se-nses.
“Why? ”
The music comes on and suddenly the crowd
is cheering. They both turn to look at the see-
throu-ghgl@$$.
“Because ” she smiles “baby girl is about to
work her magic. Have you seen my girl on
stage? You are going to get a ha-rd -on..!!” she
laughs.
Jaime says nothing as he watches her get on
stage..and then she began to dance and stri-p,
her face in a mask covering her eyes.
There was something familiar about her…
He had seen her perform before .
Tinny-B watches him as he leans forward
watching Alexander, a smile pla-ys at the
corner of her li-ps.
Oh wait till she tells Alexander just how intently
he watched her on stage.
Maybe there might be some mushy tonight.
She laughs sheepishly.
Until hell freezes over Huh? We’ll see.
*
He didn’t take his eyes off her till she walked
out of stage wearing nothing but matching red
lingerie and leaving a very thirsty hor-ny men
behind to desi-re her.
The cheering lasted for long and only died
down when the casino games came on.
He leans back on the chair, his thoughts
pensive.
“Erm… Hello, earth to Jaime. I know she got
that effect on everyone. You good or you nee-d
somewhere to go wank off that congealed cu-m
you got in your sacs?”” Tinny-B asks him
winking at his lower section, he doesn’t follow
her gaze.
“Do you always have to say the first thing that
comes into your head?”
“Yes. Like can I tell you what just entered now?
“” she taps her jaw tentatively.
” No. I rather not hear it” He says looking at
his watch.
” oh Jaime, you are no fun. but i would tell you
anyways.”
He ignores her picking up his gl@$$ of wine
”Don’t you have a place to be..er..”
”Tinny-B!! And not at the moment”
”Right!” he sips his wine.
”Well as i was saying, i got something in my
head and i think you should know”
He says nothing .
”Okay, So i got to tell you something about
Alexander..”
His ears picks up ”What about her?”
She bites her li-ps, then she leans in and
beckons him to come closer with her fin-ger,
sighing he leans closer.
He notices her face is really serious. He
wonders what she wants to tell him about
Alexander.
Close enough, she whispers ”Do you know her
full name is Alexander Beckington?”
He frowns p-ulling away from her and staring at
her .
Her once serious face turns into a feat of
laughter as she roars throwing her head back
and laughing, pointing and slapping her legs
as she points to his face.
”Hahahaha! For real pretty boy, you sure love
gossip. I was just messing with you and stuff.”
She laughs again.
Jaime wonders if she was crazy. He wouldn’t
be surprised if that was the case.
”So what’s your story pretty boy?” She nudges
him with her feet un-der the table, he frowns.
”Do you mind?”
”Yes!!” She smiles ”Tell me what is your story”
He presses a bu-tton, she frowns when he does
so, then she looks at him ”Hmm, pretty boy
doesn’t want to have a conversation with me.”
she pouts.
”Yes Sir you called?” A lady walks in, she was
one of the attendants.
”I am sorry , is this not supposed to be the
VIP section, why was she let in?”
”She said she is a friend and you were
expecting her”
”Really? ” He raises an eyebrow at her.
The lady looks at Tinny-B, then back at Jaime,
”My apologies Sir, Tinny-B, if you will” she
steps aside for her to p@$$.
”Nope, i am staying right here. we are friends,
he just doesn’t know it yet”
”You are disturbing our client and Ricky
wouldn’t be too happy about this”
