“what’s wrong?” Amberle asked when he ended the call
“Goldsax is getting married”
“what? To who?”
“I don’t know but the engagement p@rty is on the 21st and that’s my mom’s birthday”
“I don’t un-derstand”
Terry heaved a de-ep slumped into a couch without saying anything.
“Who’s your mom?” she asked further
“Amberle this is a disaster, especially for you”
“me?”
“Once he gets married, you’ll have to join the game and become one of his men or he’ll kill you” Terry explained
“but that wasn’t the agreement”
Terry sighed and looked away “Goldsax isn’t what he looks like, he’s a devil”
Amberle clutched her duvet ti-ghter and shut her eyes.
“mom?!” she whispered to herself and tear rolled down her cheeks
“You don’t have to cry” she heard Terry’s soothing voice and fluttered her eyes open. He was now sitting on the be-d beside her, and wiping her tears.
“I’m not going to let Goldsax hurt anyone again, and you’re the last person I’ll see him hurt”
Amberle faked a smile and more tears trickled down her cheeks. Terry leaned forward and k!$$£d her tears. Amberle froze as he traced k!sses down her cheeks till her tears were dried then he k!sses her forehead and sat up.
“you’re sick.. I don’t want to see you cry”
“I just want to see me mom again, even if it’s the last thing I’ll do. I want to see her”
“did Goldsax separate you two?”
Amberle nodded and Terry smiled in un-derstanding. He knew how it felt to be separated from your mom. Goldsax put him in the same condition.
“I’d love to know what happened” he said
“I’ll tell you but first, you have to give me my drugs”
Terry chuckled “you want to take the drugs?”
“I might die if I don’t”
Terry grinned and walked to the table. He filled a glas-s with water and collected the drugs from the tray.
“it’s not that bad” he said as he helped her sit down
“but it’s bad”
“I won’t deny it” Terry replied and gave her the drugs “just swallow it”
Amberle shuddered
“it tastes bitter”
“I’ll k!ssit better” Terry said and she laughed. She shut her eyes and counted to ten before swallowing the drugs then she screamed.
“it’s not that bad” Terry bur-st into laughter and Amberle sh0t him a glare.
“I’ll never take this again” she said and handed the glas-s cu-p to Terry
“as long as you never fall sick again” Terry said and added “now tell me about your mom and dad”
“my dad is dead” Amberle blurted out
“I’m sorry”
“it’s not your fault.. Goldsax killed him”
“Goldsax killed your dad?”
“My dad was owing him and couldn’t pay all the money on time so Goldsax took his life”
“why didn’t you sue him?”
“I was just 16 and the law couldn’t do anything. I think he paid a bribe”
“Why then did your accept to be the mistress to a man who killed your dad?”
Amberle took in a de-ep breath and continued “Goldsax took me by f0rç£. To serve till the debt was paid. What I didn’t know was his plans to make me his mistress and I couldn’t escape it. There’s no way out of here”
“was that why you tried escaping?”
“yes”
“what about your mom?”
“I don’t know if she’s still alive but while I was being dragged away, Goldsax sh0t her and she fell.. I haven’t heard from beer ever since then. I don’t know where she is and she doesn’t know where I am”
“How much did your dad borrow?”
“I don’t know but he alre-ady paid half of the money before Goldsax s£nt gunmen to kill him”
“didn’t he give you an option to pay the money?”
“he didn’t.. He wants me to serve him and keep his be-d warm” Amberle broke down in tears
“come here” he pu-ll-ed her into his arms and hvgged her “I’m sorry”
“I really hate Goldsax” Amberle sobbe-d
“I’ll make a promise to you…” Terry began “I don’t know how easy it would be getting away from Goldsax but I’m promising you something.. I won’t let him t©uçh you again”
“you can’t st©p him unless you kill him”
“let’s just see” Terry stated and la-id her on the be-d then he la-id beside her
“stro-ke my hair”
“do you like it?”
Amberle nodded and Terry started stro-king her hair.
“can you sing?” she asked
“no”
“why? But I want you to sing for me”
“that is totally not possible.. I sing like a frog”
Amberle laughed “is that why you have large eyes like a frog?”
“I don’t have large eyes” Terry argued
“you do and you nee-d to work on your personality….”
“I’m not boring” Terry cut in “you enjoy it when I stro-ke your hair”
“that’s the only fun thing you can do”
Terry laughed and st©pped stro-king her hair “I have to go back to work”
“Stay till I sleep.. plea-se”
“I’m working.. Maybe you should call Zac on the phone”
Amberle frowned “I’m sick.. You should be plea-sing me”
“Amberle I’ve got piles of works to do”
“I’m alre-ady sleepy, I’ll sleep in few minutes time”
“Terence?!”
“Amberle I have to overcome your temptation if I want my work done” Terry stated and start for the door
Amberle also got up and followed him.
“I’ll help you”
“you’re a patient.. Not a doctor” Terry replied and continued walking till they got to his study.
“then I’ll keep you company” Amberle said and sat on a couch
“I didn’t invite you in” Terry said and sat down “let me work Amberle”
“I’m not st©pping you”
Terry gave up and went back to his work. Amberle smiled victoriously and watched him go throu-gh papers on the desk. She admired the straightness of his back. In dark trou-sers and a white shi-t he cut a handsome figure. Amberle kept staring at him but looked away each time he glanced her way.
Terry kept his eyes fixed on the paper but not his attention. He kept glancing at Amberle at regular intervals and each time he did, she looked away.
Terry searched his drawer for a headphone and put it on. He nee-ded a distraction to concentrate in his work. He increa-sed the volume to maximum and swiveled his chair to back Amberle.
Amberle frowned and la-id on the couch. Few minutes later, Terry swiveled has chair to face her and she had alre-ady dozed off.
Terry breathed out in relief and took off the headphones. He got up and walked to the couch then he carried Amberle into his arms. He carried her to his room and carefully la-id her on the be-d, then covered her with the duvet and went back to work.
MINUTES LATER ⌚
Amberle sluggishly opened her eyes and found herself in Terry’s car. She was slee-ping on the pas-s£nger seat while Terry was behind the steering.
Terry glanced at her and said “you’re finally awake”
Amberle sat up and gazed out the window “I sle-pt for long.. It’s late alre-ady”
“it’s the effect of the drugs”
Amberle looked at him and asked “did you finish your work?”
“I did” Terry replied and glanced at her “are you hungry?”
“a little”
“Zac called but you were slee-ping and I didn’t want to wake you”
“my stomach still hurts” Amberle gro-an ed and sat up straight
“I dropped by the chemist and bought more drugs” Terry said as he drove into the penthouse and the gate automatically closed behind them.
Amberle sighed in exasperation “I wish I could get away”
“I’m sorry” Terry turned off the ignition but sat back in the car
“what did Zac say?”
“he wanted to know if you’re getting better”
Amberle nodded “okay” and glanced at him “so you’ll be starting your appointment soon”
“I’ll make sure Zac returns before leaving. I won’t leave you by yourself”
Amberle f0rç£d a smile “thank you” then she looked away
Terry cu-mpped her right cheek in his palm and brou-ght her face back to his.
“what’s bothering you?” he wanted to know
“nothing” Amberle replied, faking a smile
“don’t hold anything back Amberle”
“I’m fine”
“sure?” Terry peered into her eyes and she was f0rç£d to look away but he turned her face again
“Terry I’m fine.. You don’t have to worry” she stated and unintentionally held her breath as he gazed into her eyes like he was searching for answers. Amberle shifted her gaze down to her f!ngerswhen she felt his breath close to her face.
Terry slowly moved his hand to the back of her head and leaned closer to her. Amberle unconsciously moved back. He pu-ll-ed her closer and lowered his mouth to hers, and they k!$$£d with his hands closed ti-ghtly around her small frame and she shivered in delight.
Maybe time st©pped when hisl-ips met hers, but the flutter only intensified. Amberle’s heart pounded in her che-st as her knees got weaker. She could only focus on how soft he felt against her mouth, how add!çtively he invaded all her s-en-ses.
It still wasn’t clear if she dreamed this moment to life, but there was raw emotion in the way his f!ngerscurled around hers. Terry kept his eyes half open, sneaking a guilty peek at her every time
The k!ssgrew more intense and they pu-ll-ed at each other hungrily. Hungry to t©uçh, hungry to remain that way and never let go, hungry to taste every p@rt of each other.
For the first time in her life she wanted a man to make love to her. She finally felt something was missing in her life.
Terry pushed her back to the seat and ate into herl-ips. They k!$$£d pas-sionately till they were g@sping for their breaths. Then they broke from the k!ssand stared at each other. Each waiting for the other to talk first.
“Amberle?!” Terry finally spoke up “I’m sorry”
“you don’t have to be” Amberle said in shaky voice
Terry sighed and tried taking her hand but st©pped himself. He moved his hand to the door handle and opened the door.
Terry got down from the car and Amberle also got down, not wanting Terry to help her get down. She walked in ahead and hurried upstairs without st©pping in the living room.
Terry didn’t go after he. He thought she nee-ded some space.
He walked into the kitchen and prepared something for her to eat. When he was done, he served the food in the cart and pushed the cart up the stairs. He st©pped at the landing and left the cart there with Amberle’s drugs and left.
LATER….
Amberle freshened up and sat on her be-d re-ading a novel. Maybe she was actually staring at the pages while she waited for Terry.
The earlier incident had left her in a daze and totally confused.
The k!ssfelt real and naturally. She felt him invade her s-en-ses, the very same way she had felt when their bodies t©uçhed while he helped her fasten his seatbelt.
She couldn’t wish for anything. She just couldn’t think of nothing.
They door creaked open and Barbara pushed the cart inside. Amberle was disappointed cause it meant only one thing– Terry wasn’t coming.
“I brou-ght you dinner” Barbara announced
“where’s Terry?” Amberle found herself asking
“I don’t know.. he left the cart on the landing” Barbara replied
Amberle heaved a de-ep sigh “That means he’s gone”
How could he just leave? She thought
Why did he even have to k!ssher and go away.
Amberle was utterly confused. She couldn’t help but see herself as an object of satisfaction.
“he left a note” Barbara said and proffered Amberle with the paper she found in the cart.
Amberle took the paper and slowly unfolded it. She was scared to re-ad it. What did he write that he couldn’t say to her?
Maybe he thought she was cheap.
She re-ad throu-gh the letter and a smile crept into herl-ips. Her heart skipped a beat and pounded in her che-st.
When she was done, she folded the paper neatly and shoved it un-der her pillow.
“can I have my food?” Amberle demanded
Barbara nodded and collected a tray from the bo-ttomof the cart. She carefully placed Amberle’s food on the tray and served her in be-d.
“and my drugs too” Amberle added and Barbara gave her the drugs “you may give now” she added and Barbara walked out
Amberle started eating and soon, the plates were empty. She sat upon for some minutes the took her drugs and la-id on the be-d.
This night was going to become different, better than every other night. She had thought.
She took out the letter and re-ad it over n over again till she was gradually dozing off.
