Chapter 2:The betrayal

CHAPTER TWO

THE BETRAYAL

I was seated in the manager’s office, my cheeks swollen and red from the effect of the hot coffee.

The boy and his mother were also seated as we listened to the Manager speak.

“I’m so sorry, Madam. Keisha  can be quite rude but I can assure you she’ll be disciplined,”

My mouth flew open in shock. Did the manager not hear all the explanations I just gave?

“You must absolutely discipline her but before then, she must apologize to me and my son,” the woman scoffed, folding her arms.

I couldn’t believe what was happening. This boy was rude to me and made me fall, his mother poured hot coffee on me, yet I had to apologize. I was hoping the manager would at least be sensible and dismiss her but her next sentence shocked me.

“What are you waiting for Keisha? Apologize!”

“No way! I was wronged and harassed, they should apologize to me,” 

“Customer is king! We taught you that in your training, right? Now apologize!” The manager yelled, her face curved in anger as her veins popped out in her neck.

“No!” I refused, folding my arms as my legs shook from the unsteady anger that erupted from inside of me. She should do her worst. I knew the manager didn’t like me, but I didn’t expect her to be this cruel towards me.

“Very well then. You’re fired! Pack your things and get out of this place!” The manager banged her fist on the table, standing up and pointing at the door.

“Fine! I never liked this job anyway,” I stood up, feeling hurt and angry as I stormed out of the office.

I quickly packed my stuff from the locker room and walked out of the restaurant. As I walked down the busy street, I couldn’t help but cry my eyes out.

Pedestrians stared at me but I didn’t care. I just felt overwhelmed, not because I cared about the shitty job, but because I wasn’t feeling good and the scene at the restaurant heightened my emotions.

I sighed as I got to George’s house and knocked on the door but there was no response. I need to be around someone who can make me feel better. Maybe George can soothe my wounds by kissing me and telling me everything will be alright.

I knocked on the door again, wondering why he wasn’t opening up. I then decided to try opening and to my surprise, the door was not locked.

I walked in, and I saw a mess of clothes in the living room and I wondered what was going on. I went into his room and the next sight I saw caught me off guard.

Riding on top of George was my best friend, Tami, screaming her lungs out as she had an orgasm. My hands flew over my mouth in shock, and I shook my head as hot tears streamed down my eyes.

This can’t be happening! Oh, my chest…

I clutched my chest in pain as I felt my heart break into a million pieces. I quickly moved away from the door and stood by the side of the wall so they wouldn’t see me, and more silent tears poured from my eyes.

“That was so good,” I heard George say.

“Yeah…Now tell me, when will you break up with that bitch Keisha?” Tami asked and my eyes widened in surprise.

Bitch?

I couldn’t believe she would refer to me that way. She has been my friend for nine years and she was like a sister to me. So all that love is fake? I bit my lips in pain and anger as I wiped the fresh round of tears that had gathered in my eyes. I decided to listen to what they had to say.

“I’m only with her because you just told me about the properties in her name,”

“I honestly thought you knew about it. Anyway, we shouldn’t waste much time again. I want you, and not in secret. I want to be free to flaunt our love to the whole world,” Tami said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll propose to her next week and when we get married, I’ll get the properties from her and discard her like a used rag,” I heard George say and I almost fainted.

I clenched my fist in anger, as my eyes redend like a furious bull. How can they do this about me? So all George wanted was to use me?

My late parents had properties scattered in different states which they had left for me and my brother. I didn’t desire a luxurious life, so I lived simply and decided my brother would inherit all the properties when he was older. I didn’t sell a single property out of everything we had.

“You bastards!” I stormed into the room, angrily. “I can’t believe you two will betray me like this! What did I ever do to you? All I ever did was love you guys!”

I couldn’t hold it in anymore and more tears streamed down my face as I spoke.. My eyes were red and swollen but I didn’t care.

They both separated from each other and George quickly put on his clothes.

“Please I can explain….”

“I heard everything. You wicked souls! You are all so evil. I hate you both,” I said and stormed out of the room. I drove to the nearest bar and parked outside as I cried a fresh round of tears. It is a miracle I didn’t have an accident.

After crying to my heart’s content, I cleaned my face and walked into the bar, ready to drown myself with alcohol or I fear I’ll lose my mind.

A few hours passed, and I was already tipsy. It was dark outside, and more people were storming into the bar. I thought the pain would ease with time but it only got worse as I watched people come in with their girlfriends and I was immediately reminded of my situation.

I took in more shots of alcohol and everywhere was starting to get hazy.

“Are you okay?”

I turned to my side and saw a good-looking man staring at me, although I couldn’t see him properly because of how drunk I was. I didn’t say anything and gulped down more shots of alcohol.

“That’s enough! You don’t look okay,” he said and snatched the glass from me.

“Give it back! Give it back!” I cried dramatically and fell on the floor, sobbing my eyes out while the man stared at me in shock. He bent to my level and examined me properly.

“I’m sorry, please stop crying. Tell me, what can I do for you to stop causing a scene?”

I suddenly looked up at him, my crying reducing into whimpers. I studied his features, he had a manly handsomeness with a hard face and the cutest lips. 

“Fuck me!” I blurted out, surprised by my audacity.

“What?” He raised a brow.

“Please, I beg you. Or don’t you find me attractive? You don’t right? That’s why everyone hates me, it’s because I’m not beautiful,” I began a fresh round of tears.

“What! Of course, you’re beautiful. But I don’t know you and this is a very strange situation,”

“Please, just once. I simply want to feel wanted. I’ll leave after that,”

The man stared at me for a moment and sighed. “Alright fine,”

I flashed him a quick smile and followed him outside. I decided I wanted to do it in his car. I didn’t want the scent to remind me of this night so it had to be in his car.

I have never had car sex before, so I was curious to try it out. We got in the back seat and he stared at me again.

“Are you sure? I still can’t believe this is happening,”

“Yes…please,” I whispered and drew him closer to me as I kissed him, tasting every corner of his lips. He reciprocated by pulling me closer and deepening the kiss. 

His hands traveled under my underwear as they played with my hole while I moaned in his mouth. It felt good to be touched. This man knew my body in ways George never knew. 

I enjoyed every moment as we had sex in the car and I had an explosive orgasm. It felt good, and at that moment, I had forgotten all my worries.

I quickly ran out of his car without saying a word and I entered mine, then drove away. I felt a little better after that mind-blowing sex and all I wanted to do was go home and rest.

Just as I drove by the empty road along the mountain, a car suddenly stopped in front of me, blocking my path.

I got out of my car in anger, ready to lash at the driver but was surprised to see George and Tami come out of the car.

“What are you two doing here?” I yelled angrily, surprised to see them.

“We have to discuss,” George said authoritatively and walked towards me while I scoffed. 

“I have nothing to say to you,”

I turned around to enter my car but he pointed a gun at me and I froze. I couldn’t believe what was going on.

“George!” I called unbelievably.

“Hands up or I'll shoot!” He yelled, his eyes radiating with desperation. I put my hands up in the air, shivering like a mouse. I couldn’t believe this was my boyfriend and best friend standing before me.

Tami brought some papers out of her car and handed them to me. It was property papers.

“I got them from your house. I need you to sign all the properties in my name or I’ll shoot you for making going through the stress of forging the signature myself!”

My hands began to shake as they handed me the pen and tears fell down my eyes. These properties are for my brother. I couldn’t let them take it away.

“I…I can’t,” I shook my head, my mouth shaking as the pen fell from my hands.

“Bitch!” Tami spat in my face and I suddenly heard a loud noise and fell on the floor. 

George had hit me in the head with the butt of his gun. I lay on the cold floor as my weak body refused to move. I was weak and defenseless.

“Since you want it the hard way, then so be it,” George said angrily. They both carried me into my car and locked it up. I was semi-conscious and was too weak to move.

I suddenly felt the car moving and my eyes widened in horror at what they were about to do. I was helpless, alone, and scared and all I could do was watch tearfully as they pushed the car towards the cliff and the next thing I knew was me flying down the hill. The car hit the ground with force and suddenly, everything went dark.
