ALEXA
I had seen him immediately after we came into the club room. His green eyes pierced mine before I sat down.
Even as we ate, I wished I had sat where I could look at him directly.
“What are you thinking of? Your mind is not here!” Emma yelled into my ear.
“You know I can hear you even when you talk slowly?” I raised my eyebrows at her feigning annoyance.
“Oh come on! You could barely hear your mom call you even when she shouts and her voice reaches my home!” she yelled again into my ears.
I slapped her face away, laughing.
“Stop, please. I’m here with us.”
“Are you staring at the three men behind us?” she asked to giggle
Thank goodness. I wasn’t the only one ogling over hot unreachable men that were a few inches away from us.
“How can I stare at them when they are behind me? I don’t have eyes at the back of my hair, girl” I said and sighed into the air.
“Oh! But your body moves like it wishes to stare.” Emma giggled again.
“You can twitch your head to the side and stare a little bit. That’s what I’ve been doing” She said and pushed my head slightly and I used that opportunity to take a long look at the man in black leather jacket and leather boots. His counterpart was whispering into his ear.
Uncanny. Men that are so close are rare in our country home. I couldn’t see his face.
I pushed Emma’s hand away and turned my head.
“Don’t you like it? Stare all you want girl, if we can’t have them, staring is free at least!” She interrupted what I had in mind to say.
She was right though, staring is free. I ate my food quickly and downed my drinks ignoring the butterflies rising in my stomach. We had to move ahead to the first shot so I could get to the part of ogling over the man behind me.
“I’m coming girls, I need to use the restroom!” Hazel yelled on top of her lungs and we all looked at her.
“You know where the restroom is?” Emma asked.
“Should I walk with you? It could be dangerous alone.” Sophia said, staring at Hazel wide-eyed.
“Yes, that was how the girl was kidnapped in the movie “Her”, the one we streamed last year. You shouldn’t go to the restroom alone.” Ava added, gaping at her fingers.
“Uhm…” I didn’t know what to say.
“C’mon girls, this isn’t a soap opera. There's security here and there’s only one door IN and OUT.” She said, gazing at us like little children worrying.
“I’m okay. Alright? I’ll be back in a minute.” She turned to the left and went out through the back door.
We all sighed and others went back to their drinks. I haven’t been allowed my first alcohol shot yet. Not without our girl-ish affirmation. I used this opportunity to stare back again at the trio’s table.
Only one of them was there, the one with a moody face, staring into space. He shouldn’t be sad in a club. I thought clubs existed to cheer people up.
The guy with a chiseled face was nowhere in sight so I turned back to my table.
“When are you going to give it out?” Sophia asked as she came to sit beside me.
“Give what out?” I was confused.
“Don’t act dumb girl. I mean the red flower between your legs”
“Ewwww, Sophia is so blunt” Ava exclaimed.
I laughed quietly and looked at Sophia.
“Is that a question girl?”
“Yes, you’re finally an adult. You can do it, you know. It’s just you and Ava who hasn’t. But Ava is naïve and that’s understandable. You’re not. Your fingers aren’t naïve at all.”
I laughed. Sophia was the one who knew it all amongst us.
“This is an unexpected interaction at this moment where we should be celebrating my soon-to-come first shot.”
“Won’t be bad if we add first kiss and first sex to the celebration” Hazel’s voice interrupted over our voice. She was back.
“Woah, woah!” Emma shouted and started drumming.
I laughed wildly this time. These girls would be the bane of me.
“Can we start with our first shot? Please” I said eyeing them all
Ava groaned.
“Alright, as tradition, Alexa stands in our middle and girls round her up”
Everyone went round me in a circle and I was left in the middle.
“Now, bend your head towards Alexa” the girls did.
“Finally, close your eyes, let me pour our shots!”
Hazel announced. We laughed, thrilled, and shut our eyes. She poured the shots and handed our glasses to each of us.
“You can now open your eyes.”
We all laughed and everyone took them and drank at a go. I couldn’t drink mine. I would know tonight if I could hold my drink or not.
“Alexa drink!”
“Drink!!”
“Drink!!!”
At the last count, I poured the drink into my mouth and the girls cheered wildly. The drink burned through my throat and I groaned. There was nothing really sweet about alcohol.
Ugh!
After some minutes of a mixture of highness and drunkenness, I blanked out.
DERRICK
My eyes still drowsy opened slowly to the light sound of the creak of a door opening.
I looked up, startled and drowsy but still seated on the bed. I didn’t remember booking a room or laying on the bed. The shot must have been too strong to have blanked me out.
My drowsy eyes looked up and the door opened wildly and the red-haired girl came in. My eyes were too blurry and I couldn’t make out her facial features but the sky-blue eyes were glaring. She could barely walk and her legs were threatening to fold and drop her on the floor.
She made it to the bed and directly fell on me. She reeked of booze. Who would have thought such a pretty girl would be a drunkard? Drunk enough to misplace the room she probably booked to sleep in. Where were her damn friends?
I tried to push her to the other side of the bed and her breast came free of her clothes. I raised my head to the view and her cherry nipples, pink and lush called out to me. I raised my hand and pinched her nipple and a groan came out of her lips. Argh! Did she respond to just any kind of touch?
I laid back on the bed, my head drowsy and my body hot and horny and craving the girl beside me. She turned and her legs landed on my manhood, making me harder than I already was.
“Wait, wh..at are you do…ing here?” my voice was raspy from the drowsiness and intoxicating hard-on.
A shrill laughter erupted in the room and I stared at her, not sure if I was staring or looking. How could she be so drunk yet laughing wildly?
I bent my head and dragged her lips to mine and the electric spark I felt earlier came to live all over my body. She was kissing back as fiercely as I was.
“Minty strawberry, I love how you taste,” I groaned in between breaths and dragged her to me. I brought down the hands of her black gown to reveal her bare breast with black panties.
The black panties she had on were fitted for her body. I drew her pants down and a slow moan escaped from her lips. So much for looking naïve.
“Spoilt beautiful brat” I hissed as I took her nipple between my teeth
“Yes!” She moaned into my ears.
I heard her this time. And I sucked with a bit of force and licking. Her nipples were sweet and succulent.
I grabbed my hand onto her other breast, firm, and round. I laid her back on the bed and dragged her to stay beneath me.
She was wriggling and drunk. But her wriggling only made me harder. I removed my clothes and threw them out. Her moaning and body movement drove me crazier.
I dragged her legs down in between my head and slowly kissed her legs to her ears,
“The best night of your life” I whispered into her ears
And a soft moan escaped from her throat. Primal and raw.
I kissed her down to her cunt. Her wetness overflowing and filling her ass cleft with juice.
Argh!
I lapped with my tongue, slowly at first, the sweet sensation of having her legs on my shoulder and the primal taste of her juice making me hotter, harder, so I raised my head to let my hips meet hers.
As I penetrated, all I could think of was the lava-hot wetness that enveloped my engorged penis.
AlexaI couldn’t place how I was here with this guy in a room. Processing how I was enjoying his touch, his mouth on me, and finally, as he penetrated me.His hardness touched my entrance, hard, soft, and raw.He could use a condom. Wasn’t he thinking? I’ve not done this before. I wanted to scream it so much.But my hips arched to let him into me.It was like a lock and key. A perfect fit rubbing every part of my V that made me a woman. I could feel him in all parts of my body.He thrust in slowly, slowly, and then picked momentum. I was bouncing off the bed to match his rhythm. My hips are aching, yet arching for more.I could feel my wetness pouring out more making him slippery within meSlurpy, wet, riding me to orgasm.Engorged veins were way better than my toys and fingers.My body was on fire and every one of his touches pricked my skin in a way I’d never felt before.I was awake, but drowsy and hot, very hot. I could feel it coming. He thrust in harder and I screamed.He thrus
ALEXAI woke up in a strange bed, with strange smells and strange noises. Not the smell of wet soil and farm house noises I was used to. I was the noise of honking cars and the odor of too many people packed into too little space. I turned around on the silk sheet and saw the indentation on the pillow beside mine and the entire events of the previous night came flooding back to my head. It was a night of many firsts, My twenty-first, my first real trip out of our lazy, country town, my first time at a club and first shot. I smiled at the memory of my friends and our wild night. I felt a wetness between my legs and the events of my blackout revealed itself to me. The broody man, his friends and how we made eyes at each other all night long. We did more than that I remember now. How the girls teased me about him, encouraging me to down the shots so I could talk to him and so I could lose my virginity in sin city. I smelt him all over him and where he spent the night. He wasn't there now.
DerrickThe team looked up for directions on what to do. They were watching me, gauging my emotions to see how far I’ve spiraled. How far I’ve lost control of myself and the company. I raised my head from the table and faced the team once more. We’ve been awake since the news broke out at dawn and we've been trying ways of tackling the issue. It was clear as day that this was an inside job and whoever was behind this was obviously an executive member of staff and their plan was a stroke of genius. Get me out of the office. Soften me up with booze and the sentiment of Jackson moving away and the promise of lying with an exquisite red head. I was notorious for my thing for redheads, Damn her, I thought. Damn her to hell and back. I knew it was her fault I got into this mess but she was the only one I could blame. “Excuse me for a moment people,” I said to the conference table before I went to my private bathroom to gather my thoughts. When I got there I locked the door behind me and sa
Alexa.After countless hours of monotonous travel in the bus, the voice on the radio droning on and on. The heat in the unconditioned bus heaping on our misery. The four of us are not speaking to each other. Refusing to make eye contact with each other, refusing to look at where she would have sat. All of us are stuck in our own hell. Imagining the atrocities being committed here. Emma has been looking around trying to spark up conversation, so we could discuss the events of Las Vegas and missing Hazel. I wanted to be out of this terrain so bad. I want to put the events of the past night behind me. This is all a bad dream I said to myself but the migraine pounding on my body and my sore body from being tossed and turned screamed otherwise. I looked out the window to the same horizon I've been looking at for over five hours. Red dust and bare rocks cut through with black asphalt. Not a single plant in sight, everything around for miles was barren plains and rocky outcrops. This place i
AlexaThe paireirs slowly transformed to endless rows of corn fields and cotton farms. The air took on the signature scent of manure and I knew we were in the country. The landmarks took on a fond familiarity. ‘Fifty Miles to Idaho,’ the reflective green road sign announced. We should be home in an hour. We’re getting home, at last. But it wasn't a happy homecoming. I looked at my friends with dread and returned the same. Emma was biting her nails while sweating bullets, Ava eyes were dark with bags and red like she spent the whole trip crying which she did. Even Sophia who was the ‘cruelest’ amongst us look like she was walking towards the gallows. Her eyes were pressed together tightly and she was muttering something under her breath like a last prayer before her head was cut from her body. She felt my eyes on her and she stopped immediately. She opened her eyes, sighed and called the others attention. Her face transformed to a grim resolve. She took a deep breath and being the mos
AlexaThe ride back home was the longest and most uncomfortable one I have ever had the ill fate of talking. No one talked to each other. The tension was so thick you could taste it. James kept looking over his shoulders to look at us, instead of at us. I found myself wishing we would get into an accident. That would be a coward's escape from having to face the people back home. Emma moved over and reached for my hand. I took and and she squeezed hard, her hands warm and reassuring in mine. I squeezed hers back, hoping to give her the same reassurance I felt with her. “You didn't tell me how last night was,” she whispered.I looked at her, “Not now.” She nodded and went back to being quiet. My mind went back to the handsome stranger I gave myself to last night. My feet tingling at the thought of him. The rush of heat to my face and the roots of my hair at the trail of kisses he left on my neck. I lost myself last night. I let go of the worries of tonight and let the memories wash ove
DerrickA hush came over the room as i entered, the hush wasn't one of admiration or respect rather it was one of contempt and rage. It was the silence that came before the stoning. I looked around the room as I walked towards the head of the table. Trying to work the room, I tried making eye contact with the people. I patted Meredith on the shoulders, winked at David and Joe. Meredith shivered and the men refused to reply or acknowledged my effort at levity. After the initial address to them late evening yesterday where they still insisted on selling their stakes in the company. I spent the entire night downing coffee and poring over the details of a new contract with Joshua, David and their lawyers who came to represent the interest of the shareholders. We finally settled on an agreement that would benefit both parties. “Good morning, everyone, I’ve been in conversation with David and your legal representatives. They represented your interests and you fought for it. You've raised y
AlexaI laid beside Emma, resting my head on her chest, she held saying nothing. We just laid there together in silence reminiscing on the events of the past days and its consequences. If Hazel had been here things would have been different we might still be in Las Vegas because she might have convinced us to stay. It sad how a single event could change your life. Emma and I slept after while I had another dream about Hazel in Las Vegas which woke me up. I turned and rose quietly from bed to avoid waking Emma up. She needed the rest, it was clear she was more bothered from the disappearance than she was letting on. I took the cold food downstairs to warm up for her when she wakes up. James was at the kitchen island when I got downstairs. He pulled out a chair for me beside him. I took it and gave him a nod. Sitting beside him feels awkward after I hugged in last night when he came riding in his truck like some kind of red necked savior. I wasn't close with James at all even if Emma a
I left the office to go to Russia, partly because I wanted to shield away the temptations I was having whilst being close to my Secretary, but the increase for her only seemed to worsen, I spent both day and night thinking and reminiscing about the two of us being together, and I so wished for it to happen.I couldn’t concentrate solely on the work I had in front of me, I had managed to convince Mr. Ragnakov of how much work I’d done for him, when in reality I had done nothing.The person I was trying to shield myself from was the one that kept haunting me day and night, but I’m a good way.The past weeks I spent here were to only torture myself more as I yearned more for her now that she wasn't within my reach, she wasn't a call away like it used to be.My mind drifted off slowly to Diana, and I wondered how she was faring now. I had intentionally left my private line back at home so I wouldn't be bothered by their constant disturbance.I made a mental note to send flowers to her as
It’s been two weeks since I last set my eyes on Derrick, he informed me he was traveling a day earlier and wouldn’t know when he would be back and just like a puff of smoke, he vanished, for two weeks, without looking back, even though the office was run successfully without his presence, the office still felt void as I came here every morning.And every morning I came to the office, I hoped I would see him slouching on his chair or concentrating on his work as he always does.I hated to admit it and I didn’t even want to admit that I missed him so much. It was completely lonely and empty without him at the office, to boss people around, to make snide remarks at people, or even boss me around.Aside from Derrick, my life was completely going according to plan, I had gotten some new pieces of furniture for the new house and painted Henry’s room. I had Olivia come check out the house and she was just as excited as me and Emma.She also helped in picking out some exquisite furniture for
After Derrick left the office, I dived back into my work like no man's business.I was so intrigued by the development of building a new software that I lost track of time. When I finally looked up to check the time, I saw it was far past and Derrick hadn't gotten back to the office. He said he was just stepping out for a minute, but I was glad he wasn't here because I faced no distractions in the morning and I had done an incredible amount of work since I was alone.Since it was already lunch hour, I got up to get something to eat when I received a call from the house agent telling me he was ready for me to go see my house.Excitement washed over me and I immediately sent him my office address so we could meet outside, and we would go together to see the house, I quickly snacked on the sandwich I brought from home.I was done eating in no time and Mr. William pulled up to the front of my office and put a call across to me. Since there was no sign of Derrick yet, I took the initiative
I had reservations about Alexa’s capabilities when it came to giving her a tough job to handle, and I knew the main reason why I pitched the job to her was mainly because of the encounter I had with the Prince yesterday.It wasn’t a big task, it was a very minute task but I still had doubts in my mind.I found it funny that just yesterday the prince came into my office and brought up the idea of buying Alexa for himself. It looked to me like ages ago.The events that had taken place right after made it look like ages ago. As much as I was not willing to give her something she wouldn’t be able to handle, I did it to make her stay and not get swooned by whatever promises the Prince might have made.I would deal with Diana much later, except for the fact that my mother has been buzzing my phone nonstop since she heard the news of Diana’s accident. I wasn’t ready to deal with that just yet.Despite my hesitation about Alexa, I forwarded her the emails and everything she needed to work wit
I woke up to check my time and I saw that there was no way I wasn't going to be late for work today, going to work late was a thing, facing Derrick was another.I quickly got out of bed and rushed to Henry's room to get him ready, darting to the kitchen to make a quick fix for breakfast before heading to the bathroom to have my bath.In no time, I was ready and so also was Henry. We Bid Olivia our goodbyes and I made a quick stop at his school to drop him off. Then I headed to the office.Thankfully, Derrick wasn't in his seat and that was so unlike him. I went to the receptionist area, made a hot cup of black coffee, and headed straight to Derrick's office. Setting it down gently, I took a good look at his office, even though his office was breathtakingly beautiful, it lacked warmth. Just like Derrick himself.“What are you doing in here staring like that?” The Husky voice made me wheel myself around.The sight of him was almost a nightmare. He looked so tired and stressed out with h
I was still perturbed about what happened back at the office, I sat quietly in my room in pitch blackness wondering how she was feeling and if my actions had forever strained any relationship I might have with her in the future.I should have waited till she was ready and I wished in a corner of my mind she had accepted for me to stay over for tea but I understood that after what transpired in the office, she might be feeling a little bit uncomfortable around me.A part of me liked that I kissed her and wanted more, but a part of me also felt that wasn’t the right thing to do. I kept thinking of her, what was going on in her head, and how she reacted to my touch.Every attempt to remove her from my thinking proved abortive. I tried working but I couldn't concentrate on anything. Images of her beautiful yet innocent face kept flashing in my head and I caught myself smiling when I envisioned her face.She had even sympathized with me about Diana and I knew she felt that was the reason
I heard the noises outside and rushed to the window to get a better view of what was happening. Not in a million years did I picture the image that was displayed right in front of me.My boss’s girlfriend just had a fatal accident, and I witnessed the heroic show that Derrick put into saving her life. And I wondered what could have transpired between them,They were just ogling over themselves a few minutes ago, and now she was lying helplessly in the middle of the road. I silently prayed that she wasn't dead because I was sure it would cause Derrick to be torn into pieces and my work might become more insufferable.I waited patiently past closing hours, even when the other staff had all dispersed home, I had to wait for Derrick to come to the office first. I was in serious doubt as to if he would make it back to the company or if I should just leave. If the accident was very fatal, I doubted Derrick would make it to the office again. I decided to time myself and if Derrick wasn’t bac
I looked at the lifeless body of Diana and I felt I was in a dream, I had the premonition that something like this would happen, yet I still let go. And I partially blamed myself for what happened. I could have had her board a taxi before leaving her but I still left her on her own unprovoked after I’ve said some hurtful things to her.The streets were thrown into a mishmash as everyone wanted to know what was going on. I slow-paced to the scene of the accident and was almost happy as I noticed there was still a slight pulse on her breathing, I immediately sprang up into action.Thankfully, Andrew brought my car in the nick of time and I slumped Diana over my shoulders while Andrew drove over to the hospital like a lunatic.“Diana, please live”. Was the only word I kept muttering to myself.I would never be able to forgive myself if anything happened to her because I was the only one who could have averted the accident but I chose to ignore it. I could have been nicer to her, or maybe
I got a call from a strange number and I was tempted to pick it up, but I couldn't, my hands were shaking, I could feel my body vibrating from anger and my mind wasn't sturdy enough. I watched the phone ring till it broke off.I got another call from my mother. I knew I was supposed to take her to dinner today but why was she calling so early? It was just past lunch hour. Despite my reluctance, I picked up the phone.“Hi, mom”Hi darling, how are you? Her voice was so breezy and it calmed me down a bit. But what she said next had my heart racing ten times faster than it should.“I just got off the phone with Diana, it's such a delight to speak to her after all these years, isn't it 4 years now?”“Diana? What the hell are you doing talking to her?”.Why would my mother still talk to Diana, they had gotten along 4 years ago but that was in the past and I intended to keep it that way.“And Yes, Mother, it's been 4 years”, I said, grimacing.“What do I need this piece of information for?”
