The night was cool and warm, a night for lovers, Eve thought. The air was welcoming enough and the stars glittered around the half-moon in the skies. A smile touched her lips as she walked down the path decorated with beautiful roses with Wesley beside her and their fingers intertwined. He’d been staring at her since they came out of the car, making her cheeks heat up.“This is beautiful.” She mouthed. “You’re more beautiful.” He replied to her, taking light steps. “You flatter me.” She stared back at the sky and continued walking with Wesley, they walked out of the flower path into a side of the beach. “You’re feet are hurting ain’t they?”“It doesn’t hurt as it used to.” She could walk for a long time without her feet hurting, she could make use of her heels now. “Come let’s seat” “We should seat on the sand!” She giggles and took her shoes off her feet running to the waters. “Eve wait!” He chuckled and picked up her shoes which she dropped. Getting closer to the waters she
He wasn’t gonna say anything either. He’d called Jacky to take her home, that she was at the beach. He left her there and went home. “Wesley!” Eve banged her fist on the bathroom door. He’d been occupied in his wild chasing thought and didn’t hear her footsteps approaching or heard his door open. He looked up and turned off the showers taking a robe. He’d been in here for a long, she made him realize. “Are you in there!” She could hear the showers, he was probably in there. How could he leave her like that, what if Jacky hadn’t come to get her? How could he be so cruel to think of just himself and forget all about her safety and that she was beside him? “Ain’t you gonna open or should I come in?” Her hands went to the door knob and it was opened from the inside. Wesley came out with a robe. His hair and body were wet.“What is it?” His eyed were sternly fixed on her. She scoffed, that was what he want to ask.“You left me there!” She half yelled. “Should I have put on my back a
“Get off the house if you ain’t gonna pay!” The drunk landlord was getting on her nerves. Fanny pushed the door of her apartment open, it has been lonely without Eve, she’d missed her craziness and even her nightmares. She’d the room to herself but it wasn’t all like it with her. After that night, she couldn’t reach her or heard anything about her. She’d cut her completely out of her life. Someone, she called her best friend. The room was dark so she flipped the lights on and remained rooted to the ground with her back against the wall, staring at the single bed, there was a man on the bed with a cigarette in his mouth which he smokes effortlessly. Another was seated on the floor beside the bed. She’d been lost in her thoughts she looked back at her hands and saw her keys in her hands she didn’t open the door but the door was already opened. “You’re back.” The man wheezed smoke off his mouth and rise from the bed, he went to her and dust his hands on his jean before stretching t
“He’s watching ya through the window.” He mimics Moscow’s voice and scoffed. He picked out a black pants and black sleeves with a face cap. He wore them quickly and grabbed his car keys. “Sir there’s something...” Jacky tried to stop him with a phone on his hands. “Not now Jacky!” He warned and ran out of the house, got into the car and drove off the mansion. “Moscow you snake.” He looked ahead if he could see his black Mercedes Maybach Exelero. The car was making a U-turn, he tightened his fist on the sterling wheel and increased his speed after it but tried not to make Moscow know he was being followed. The car stopped at a famous fun fair. Wesley lowered himself in the car when they came out of the car. He laughed at Moscow. “Isn’t this so childish, why would he bring here and it was so far from home. Moscow you’re so stupid...” he laughed and lift his head up. They got into the fun fair and he came down from the car, adjust his face cap properly and walked in with his hand
“Sadie!” Sadie dropped her phone and had her head turned slightly to the door of the saloon. Hazel sauntered in with her short skirt and denim jacket. Waving her phone in the air. “I thought I would find you here.” Her saccharine voice rang through. Sadie looked back to the mirror. “You knew I was gonna be here, what’s the fuss about.” She picked up her phone and was scrolling down with her long nails. Hazel ignored her and took an empty seat beside her. “You haven’t heard?” Hazel pursed her lips and blinked her eyes at Sadie. “Heard what, be gentle with my hair will you?” She snapped. “Sorry, ma’am.” She turned her gaze back to Hazel. “Heard what?” “Guess whose gonna be on face up a magazine?” Sadie raised a brow at her. “I run face up, if it’s not it couldn’t be anyone else,” Sadie answered her nonchalantly. Hazel laughed at her reply, noticing Sadie’s glare, she placed a hand over her mouth. “Wesley’s wife.” “I’m Wesley’s wife.” She stopped the girl from dressing her h
Eve's eyelids flapped open, she turned slowly on the bed, she was the only one in it. She rose and rubbed her eyes, another day it was. Standing, she strode to the calendar which she pasted on the wall, taking the marker from the table and stroking it. Another day was gone, and after three months, she was gonna leave. “Eve you’ve to be strong.” Wrapping her hands around herself and walked into the washroom, staring at herself in the mirror She itched the side of her neck. She didn’t remember having changed her clothes last night, how come she was in her nightie? She crossed a hand over her chest. “Wesley, was it you?” She couldn’t trust that man, he was capable of anything.“Ms. Eve, breakfast.” “I’ll be downstairs, you don’t have to bring them here!” she yelled from the bathroom, Jacky was just a bodyguard and now Wesley had made him a cook. He should’ve just employed one, it wasn’t so difficult. “Can you find another cook, Jacky?”“Boss doesn’t trust anyone and not everyon
Eve's jaw dropped to the ground, staring at him, did she hear him right? She was with him all along and had no clue who he was.“Surprised?” He brought her jaw together and held her face with his warm hands. “A little bit.” She straighten up, and his hands left her face. “So if you’re gonna kill a man like Dust, you might not need a gun.” “What do I use then?” “Your hairpin.” He stretched and took them from her hair, her hair fell on her shoulders. He held the pin and pressed them to her hands. “This is what you’ll do.” He led her hands to the side of his neck. “You stab here.” He placed the pin in the spot, Eve's hands shook lightly when he let go of her hands and she was aiming the pin at his neck. She quickly withdrew her hands and kept the hairpin on the table. “Don’t forget that.” He warned Eve and nodded curtly while staring at her hands. Wesley pushes the chair back and stood up. “Have your breakfast.” He packed the papers from the table and turned to leave. “Wait.” S
Wesley held Eve while they walked back to the car because her steps were unsteady and she might fall. He didn’t say anything to her because he had nothing to say to her. She was silent throughout the ride brooding deeply in her thoughts. He drove around for a while and lower the car window Eve had her right hand out of the window feeling the gush of wind over her hand. He stopped the car when it was sunset at grand view park. He opened the car door for her and she stepped out of it. “C’mon.” She followed him to the back of the car and they sat on it. “I’ve ordered some pizza.” He was trying to have her say something she simply nodded and lay back in the car. “It’s nice doesn’t it.”He lay his head on his hands that were spread behind the back of his head. Watching the round red ball does down the horizon. She turned and faced him while he stares at the clouds. “The moon is gonna be out soon, you might wanna see how it...” he stopped when he saw her staring at him. “What? Is th
