*CHAPTER 68*
????????????
Tinny-B has a peaceful smile on her face as
she watched them leave, Adam comes behind
her.
”Is that not the most beautiful sight,
them..seeing them act like love sick puppies?”
He nods to the three guys ,
”Boss said he is good” One of them says
”Don’t be fools, he pays you to watch him, his
father doubles it…he doesn’t leave your sight, i
am behind you”, they nod, entering the car and
then chase after them.
”You seem protective of him” she observes
”The pay is good”
”Is that all there is to it?”
”Nope! He…is the closest i have to a friend, a
brother, a family..and he doesn’t treat me like
a worker..known the kid for years now, he
takes care of his own..family or not. He is a
good man, one no one wouldn’t do anything
for. Your friend is lucky!”
She turns to face him ”No, he is the lucky one,
she had never looked at a man the way she
stares at him today..he is the lucky one to
have her eyes sparkle for him so”’ she smiles
They stare at each other ”I don’t see you with
girls, are you ga-y?”
”Nope!”
”Just checking” she smiles, he nods
”You got a gig to go to or work?”
”No, i think i am going to just chill out”
”Okay, gatto go keep an eye on those kids” he
smiles
She leans in and then places a ki-ss to his
cheeks ”You be safe” she turns and walks into
the house, he watches her disappear, shakes
his head and then leaves.
In another minute he is out and following the
car tracks to find them.
Fifteen minutes later, he knew Jaime had done
it..He finds the guys parked somewhere in
town and no idea where Jaime entered. He
laughs driving pas-s them..
”Oh Jaime, you son of a gun!”
*
Christine has a hu-ge smile on her face when
Gemmylyne steps out to meet her , they hu-g.
”You look beautiful Gem, where is your lover,
he is treating you nice”
Gem laughs ”Oh nonsense, Jacob is probably
in the field with a few colleagues playing
sp-ots. Do what do i owe this surprise visit
Christine, how is your mother?”
”Oh can’t i come see you anymore just
because Jaime has some girl he fancies?”
”Oh don’t be silly, you are welcome anytime”
Gem pats her cheeks ”I hope you would be
here by Saturday, Jacob is going all out for
Jaime”
”Well..i don’t know if Jaime-”
”Don’t be silly, you are invited..” She laughs
shaking her head
”Oh, thank you Gem, you are the sweetest, so i
went by a shop and i saw this, i know you
said you always wanted one of this rocking
wrists bands and i even got your name
engraved..just like the one in that picture you
showed me years ago”
”Awww..Christine you shouldn’t have, the had
these here?”
”No, i ordered it, took a few weeks
but..tadah!!!” she laughs
”Aww thank you! ”Gem hu-gs her ”Oh wait till i
show Jacob, let me go get that picture, it is
somewhere in the room” Gem gets up
”Oh kay Gem, i am just going to get jui-ce or
something”
”Call up the chef they will make you
something” she calls out disappearing into her
room
”No..it’s fine!” she gets up opening her bag,
she brings out an inner bag, opening it to
reveal three items bagged together, she
separates them, bringing out the tape as well,
she smiles . The security were fools, just
because she was a friendly face..they think she
can cause them no harm. They didn’t even frisk
her. What if she had a bomb? Well, it was all to
her advantage.
She places the first bag un-der the table and
tapes it to the wall of the table.
Leaving the living room, she carries the one
places it un-der the chair. she tapes it. She
looks around walking out of the living room.
Heading out, down the stairs to where the
other room leads into mas-sive big hall, which
is used mostly when the Mayor has big events,
like the one he was planning for Jaime.
She stares at the vase of flower, she smiles.
Five minutes later she is dusting her hands
and making her way back to the room, replying
to a greeting as a security detail appeared
behind her.
”Ma’am?”
”Oh hi..” she says walking past him and
heading back up the stairs, taking a right she
goes into the kitchen. The chef was busy..
The security detail frowns turning around,
wondering what she was doing there ”Alpha,
see anything ?” he speaks into his coms.
”See what?”
”Miss Christine was seen walking the house”
”So?”
”Just wondering what she is doing down at the
event area?”
”Er…she is family you know, possibly checking
the hall for the gig in a few days”
”Eh..but why walking up and down though,
Greg said he noticed her leave the leaving
room, but didn’t follow her, then she
disappears and now she just left down here”
”Dude, what are you ranting about”
The man ru-bs the back of his ne-ck ”Dunno! Is
the cameras on?”
”You now the boss’s wife said she didn’t want
cameras in the house. She wants it off when
she is home..said something about feeling
uncomfortable as though she is being watched
so…it’s off”
”Oh okay, but it would be on during the event
yes?”
”I suppose, there would be alot of people so i
guess so. Dude, get back to work and stop
following the Miss, she may not be dating the
son but..she still friends of the family”
”Right!” the man says into his coms, he looks
to the direction she disappeared to, then
sighing he goes back to his post.
*
”Good morning Ma’am..i didn’t realize you are
around, would you mind if i make you
something?”
”No Julius, just a glas-s of jui-ce and cookies is
fine!”
He nods grabbing a clean clas-s and emptying
jui-ce for her, he places hotly baked cookies
into a plate and then hands it to her ”Anything
else?’
”No, thank you Julius!” she turns walking away.
Christine spends a few more hours with Gem,
she even was asked to stay for Dinner as the
Mayor insisted walking in and then seeing her.
She didn’t mind really, she already has achieved
what she came for.
‘Oh i would love to Jacob!” she smiled.
*
Jaime is seated crossed leg reading a news
paper when someone clears his throat, he pulls
the paper down.
”Allow me present to you..the dazzling beauty
herself..Miss Alexander Beckington” the man
ushers her in.
Jaime stands up, his mouth dropping the flow
”Wow!”
Alexander is dressed in a sizzling white
diamond-studded dress, V-shape line cutting
into her clea-vage and a body that accentuated
the curves of the dress. ”Wow!!” Jaime repeats
coming to her ”You look..amazing”
”It’s all too much..sparkling!” she twirls around
”As it should be”
She looks at her realizing that he looked
different ”And you are not bad yourself ”
”I know right, but trust me, where we are going,
i wouldn’t be the one they would be looking at”
”Where are we going?”
”Tell me the most amazing place you would
want to grace”
”I don’t know!” she squee-zes up her face
”Okay” he is staring at his phone ”So i was
browsing about events ladies would kill to go
for within the city and across the country; have
you ever been to the opera?”
”Only in movies!”
”You like it when you watch’em?”
”Oh they are so dramatic, so animated
too..and their voices..oh my ears…i wished i
could be in an audience and get to watch them
live one day”
He smiles ”Well, guess that won’t be a wish
anymore” he says taking her by the hand and
taking back his card he had earlier given to the
attendant. ”Apparently you are in luck, they are
doing a remake of Romeo and Juliet, played
by famous actors..and i just happen to get the
last two available gold tickets on VIP..so..” He
trails off
”Gold VIP tickets to the Opera?” she gushed
”Yep!”
”Theme?”
”Love is.., this was written by Umarr Sillah Bah……
who goes by the alias U.S. Bah, i hear he is some
African writer, telling this ancient story in another
perspectives..i hear tickets are sold out”
”Oh, wow!!”
”I know right!”
”And you happen to still get two tickets, VIP
and in gold?”
He smiles
”What did you do Lockswire?”
”Money talks, bullshit works!!”
She hits him ”Jaime Locskwire did you just
bribe your way into an Opera?”
He stares at her innocently ”No, ofcourse not,
I simply just mentioned my name and felt sad
that i couldn’t get my woman to witness this
beautiful play and then they apologized and
then they offered and i gladly accepted..i did
not bribe them”
She stares at him with raised up eyebrow ”
Really?”
‘Okay, bribe is such a big word, i…doubled on
the VIP Tickets, they were greedy, it wasn’t my
fault, they just sold it to the highest bidder, it
is not my fault!”
”You are so bad!”
”i am not…just bad for you yes!” he winks at
her, she laughs.
They are out the door, he opens the car door
for her to sli-p in and then goes to the other
side.
”By the way,” she smiles when he got in ”I
noticed what you did back there, getting rid of
your security detail”
He co-cks his li-ps up in a sly grin ”I always
hated to be babysitted- Adam gets on my
nerves pretty often, the others don’t listen
either but..atleast they do not all know my
escape routes” he puts the car on drive ”But i
can swear Adam would be lur-k-ing around like
a vampire” he laughs.
He is zooming across town again, soon they
are cutting into the airport
”Jaime..” she frowns looking around ”Are we in
the airport”
He laughs jumping out the car, going to her
side and then helping her out ”Supposing we
are?” he held her by her wai-st, staring into her
eyes lovingly.
”This opera, where is it holding?”
”Somewhere in New York!!” he turns away and
is leading her to a few flight attendants
walking towards them
”Jaime Lockswire!!!”
He laughs at her exclamation of his name
”Damn, did i tell you how pretty you look when
you make that shock face?” he roars again.
”Good evening Mr. Lockswire, your private jet
is ready and captain is on board, Ma’am,
welcome on-board”
She pauses still disbelieving, ”We are not
going on a private jet to New York to watch an
Opera theatre play?” she shrieks
He nudges her forward, stepping up and going
into the jet, pulling her along as he laughs ”You
think i would get you all beautiful dressed up,
hair done and all that glow just because i want
to just stare at you all day? Okay well i want to
stare at you all day but…i also want to treat
you to little good things, and this is one and
yes we are…so stop struggling and come up
else i would carry you all the way up the jet”
Her legs are weak ”Who owns it? Are we
allowed to be here?” she looks around as he
pulls her to him, he chuckles
”Well, i guess since it’s mine we are allowed
to be in here”
She stares at him as her mouth drops ”You are
so not Christian Grey and neither am i
Anastasia!!” she shrieks
”Well, no, that guy’s wealth is mad plus it’s
fictitious..i just happen to have a jet, two
years old, mostly for the comfort plus i wanted
to gift myself something..plus i ha-rdly use it,
only when i have to go for business trips and
then let it just sit here. But now, i have every
reason to go for lovely short trips if i want- no
scratch that ..if you want..like you want Italian
food, you want to go to the beach in the
Bahamas, or you want to buy a dress from
Columbia or maybe to go to the Elfel tower to
take pictures..basically, you think it, we are
there” he pulls her to seat opposite him.
The air hostess comes to them with a bottle
of wine with two glas-ses ..”Champagne?” he
asks her
”Yes please” she smiles bi-ting her li-ps
He Gr0-ns ”You know you shouldn’t bite your
li-ps like that Alexandra, you know what it does
to me”
She blus-hes , going warm, remembering what
had transpired between them, she squee-zes
her legs together and then turns away smiling,
liking the feeling he ignites in her , she takes
the wine to her li-ps and sips, sparing him a
glance, he is staring at her, his eyes dim,
boring into her soul.
She burns. But she managed to smile shy.
Jaime shakes his head smiling back at her
”You know what, i think you bewitched me,
that’s the only explanation”
She leans back crossing her legs, with an
attitude ”Well, atleast my charms worked, i
should renew it every one and then, wouldn’t
want you to stop looking at me that way and
..you know” she trails off, he laughs
”This is the Captain, sit back and enjoy your
trip.” the Captain’s voice filtered the air, Jaime
sites the air hostess taking a seat and
strapping on her seat beat.
He puts down the clas-s, reaches for her and
then helps her with hers ”How long would it be
for, the trip?”
His head his close to her, he is done, he
stares at her, their eyes linger ”30 mints, and
then i have a few other surprises for you” he
whispers
”Another surprise?”
”Surprises, with an S”
”Jaime..i..you..don’t have to”
He lic-ks his li-ps ”I want to. I don’t know how
you have lived your life before now, i just want
to make sure that here on out, as long as i
can..i will give you the world, so please, don’t
refuse, don’t stop me. If i have everything, why
won’t i share it with the woman who has
literally stopped my heart and has caused it to
beat..in a way it hasn’t before. I can afford it,
let me give you not just the world, but mine, i
want to give you my world Alexander, so let
me!”
”What if you couldn’t afford it?”
”Then i would work day and night, hand’s in
dirt, knee to the earth, tilling and going until i
give you all that you deserve. You deserve love,
you deserve happiness, you deserve it all..and
love, i am giving to you, happiness…i will to
you, peace..babe..loving you is bliss enough,
you would be at peace knowing that this man
loves you like crazy…and lives little plea-sures
like this? Come on..i would spoil you..so that
you don’t look at another man though”
She laughs nudging him, he catches her hand
and then leans even closer ”I love you insanely,
and even though i would love you to say those
words back to me and–
”Jaime -”
”Ssssshh!” he places a finger to her li-ps ”Even
though i would love to hear them back, it’s
okay if you don’t feel thesame way for
me…yet” he smiles ”See what i did there, ‘yet’?
because i know, when i am done sweeping
you off your feet baby girl…you are gonna love
me” he winks, she laughs
”co-cky bastard”
”Foul mouth!” he throws back with a smile
”That you love to ki-ss”
”Hmm, yes, that is true ” he leans and then
ki-sses her slowly ”That is indeed true my crazy
fiery s-×y tempest” they ki-ss
”Oh Jaime you make me feel so many things i
cannot explain ” she whispers ki-ssing him
pas-sionately
He smiles ”Then i would keep doing what i am
doing then…” he ki-sses her li-ps again, her
ne-ck and then Gr0-ns ”Plus if i don’t stop
ki-ssing you now i may be tempted to do
things to you right here” he stares at her ”God i
am so intoxicated by you, what the hell did you
do to me?”
”She did nothing other than be herself, and you
couldn’t handle her so you fell” someone says
above them, Alexander’s head shoots up,
Jaime smile’s pulling away from her and then
seating, he straps himself ”Alexander darlyne,
when we get home , remind me to fire his as-s”
Adam smiles taking the opposite seat and
then strapping himself ”Right, i nee-d my raise
Sir, and if you think i am one of your security
detail you can fool, you got another think
coming, i know you like the back of my hand, i
can tell what you are about to do plus,
technology is a good thing, tracking device,
making sure i am in-tune with all your
activities like…poof!! code went off in the
airport and i knew dude was about to impress
his lady by flying her out with the jet,
especially when i knew you had no business
meeting because you cancelled…see…i am
smart, you should give me a bigger raise,
times three” he shows him three fingers.
They all laugh.
”Guess we have a baby sitter Alexander, mind
him not, i can not shake the shit away from my
as-s, like glue he is stuck with me, if only i can
sell him off for a nickle, but no one wants
him..sadly!”
”Oh Boss ,that’s low, even for you!”
They all laugh at his expression..
*
They had gotten to the Opera, and taken the
VIP section.
Two hours later, she had smiles on her face,
clapping and cheering.
Jaime uses half the time staring at her,
watching her eyes lit up, her li-ps twitch with
smiles, her che-st heaving up and down when
she saw how Juliet died and the Romeo
following soon after, he gives her his
handkerchief as she dabbed her eyes.
He smiles, watching her scream ”br@vo!!
They say, when you are in Rome, you act like
the R0m-ns. And indeed, she did.
But that wasn’t what got him all smiley. As
soon as they tou-ched ground, right above the
heli-pad on the roof. There were a few
dignitaries who were in attendance too. So the
media was on standby, taking pictures,
interviewing and having a field day.
She had been reluctant to come down from the
jet, and he had every intention of showing her
off. When the media and the news men
realized that he was the one from the jet and
with a woman, like flies they zoomed in,
especially with the news surrounding him and
then how it all played out and the mysterious
woman who was supposedly dead, but not
dead, but now she is here, with him..
Questions came flying,asking about their
relationship; Alexander didn’t want to talk, she
hid her face away..
He was going to scream at the top of the
world she was his woman, and he did that,
however subtly.
”Sir, are we right to say that your Handler, is
your mistress?” someone pushes the mic to
him
”Mistress, no..ofcourse not!” he is staring at
her
”Then is she one of your numerous women
soon to be discarded with?”
He faces the reporter ”I think i have been
misun-derstood, however…she is not one of my
numerous women” he pulls her close to him,
Adam is behind them, like a bodyguard as he
should be ”She is the woman, my girlfriend..the
love of my life…and there would be no
discarding..and if she tires of me i may have
to tie her to my back and run with her far away
into the sunset..where we would make babies
and live happily ever after” He smiles at her,
right before he leans in and then ki-sses her..
Camera’s went Clic-k clic-k, lots of questions
where thrown like flying balls.
”You are my woman, Alexander, now the whole
world knows..” he ki-sses her again ”Shall we
go do some opera?”
She smiles at him, a sudden confidence filling
her ”Yes baby, let’s!”
He links her hands with him and then they had
been ushered up.
He caught her smiling to herself moments later
”This feels like a dream”‘ she turns to him,
staring at him ”I fear i may wake up and
realize that this isn’t real”
He takes her hand and then places it flat on
his che-st ”As long as you can feel my heart
beating for you like this, as long as you can
look into my eyes and see how full of love for
you, as long as you ca feel this” he leans in to
ki-ss her ”and know that i burn for you,..as long
as i can say ”I love you” to your hearing…then
you know that this is reality, our reality..one
that i would always want to be in…Alexander
Beckington, this is all real, and when you wake
up tomorrow..there would be me, loving you
as insanely as i do now” he places his
forehead to hers
”Oh God Jaime!” she sobs, shaking her head,
willing the tears to stay back, she sniffs , he
grabs her face in hers ”I have never felt this
way, or have a ,man care for me like this, let
alone love me and –” she cries,
”Ssssshhh!” he shakes his head flic-king a tear
away, ki-ssing some more away. ”Don’t cry!..cry
only out of happiness, of joy, not of pain nor
regret..i will give you all that no man had
given give you..i give you all of me… and i
want all of you..your pains i want to turn to joy,
you cries to laughter, your hunger to filling…i
want to change your world of chaos into
blissful bliss, so…i don’t want to see you cry, i
don’t want you to say ”no man this …” i am
here now, loving you, wanting you, desiring
you, catering for you..and i plan to do so
much more till my heart fails me”
she stares at him ”How can you love someone
has damaged as me? You don’t know me, you
don’t know what i have been throu-gh, what he–
what my fath-”
He stops her, shaking his head ”Everyone is
damaged, one way or the other..like broken
pieces we all come throu-ghfrom this life, but
just because we ere damaged it doesn’t mean
we cannot be loved, just because we were
broken doesn’t mean we can’t be patched back
to perfection. I don’t want perfect, if not i
would have fallen for some other girl, i want
you, with all your scars and damages your
broken pieces and your imperfections. I want
to see you beneath your beautiful…and
Alexander, no mater how damaged and all..i
would love you still, i would love you today,
tomorrow and maybe possibly for a long
time…damaged or not, you would be mine. So
stop crying and messing up your make-up, ”
he pulls her face to his and then ki-sses her.
An hour later she was glued to the play, and
three hours later he still cannot take his eyes
off her.
Yes, she was his perfect half, his soul mate and
he was going to marry her…
”br@vo!!!” she cheers, and then throws plucked
flowers down to the theatre as she sees others
do, she clap-s staring at him, ”Oh this is was
beautiful!” she clap-s, he nods standing up and
then going to stand behind her, wrapping his
arms around her and then ki-ssing her ne-ck.
”You are beautiful” he whispers
She bends her ne-ck to him, capturing his li-ps
with hers.
A camera man was lucky, he smiles ..”Clic-k
Clic-k!!” he goes ”Perfect shot!”
It was no surprise that they became the hot
topic for news for the entire day.
