FRANKIE

He is here.

Again.

Again?

What sort of a game is he playing? Is he supposed to come here every time?

I come from my errands and the first person I see is him? I cross my arms on my chest and glare at him. He raises his face and our eyes meet making me scoff in annoyance.

“What’s the deal with the dude on that corner?” Ally asks. I don’t like her. She doesn’t like me too so I wonder why she is here talking to me. Her shift is over anyway.

“Nothing. Why do you care?”

“He was asking about you. Said he would order when you get here. Better solve that shit or I will snitch on you to the manager.”

“You wanna go and do that right now? Don’t bullshit me Ally. The customer is always right and what he wants comes first so don’t give me this crap.” I snap glaring at her.

She is some snitch. A bitch who everyone hates but our hatred for each other is intense. We didn’t click on the first day and we have never. She knows how much I hate her and I know how much she hates me.

    TREYI keep looking at the door expecting someone to knock. Not just anyone but Frankie. I’m sure she is done with her shift but is she really coming? I haven’t slept the whole night waiting for her. No sign at all. I take my phone and scroll down my contacts looking for her number.Shit!I don’t have her number. Why didn’t I think of taking it before? What a waste! I scoff and get out of bed. There is no hope of her coming so I’m leaving this place and not coming back.She has stood me up so why should I care? I gave her one chance. One chance to come see me. One chance to make this right. It would be my go-ahead to keep on seeing her but she has failed me.I walk into the bathroom in frustration trying not to think about her. Why would she do this to me? For the money?No. I shouldn’t bring the money issue here. She wasn’t willing to take it. I forced her to. Even after her not being sure of her coming.I groan and run my hands on my face. What has she done to me? A total stran

    I look outside the window and sit up. We are approaching Lex. I’m pumping some sense into that piece of shit. He just can’t fire Frankie.I don’t want her to work here. I would give anything to see her work somewhere else but this looks like something she likes doing. As long as it is not illegal, then I’m okay with it.What matters to her is what matters to me. What makes her happy is what makes me happy so I’m getting her job back.Eddie pulls up outside Lex and makes to open his door but I stop him.“I will open it.” I unfasten my seat belt and step out reading the name on the building first.Through this place, I met someone I really like. Someone I’m willing to please and fight for. I’m leaving but I will be back soon. I walk into the club and head straight to the counter. It’s a different guy from last night.“Where is the manager's office?” I go straight to the point.“That way but you can’t just go in there. I have to call him first.”“I can and I am.” I say sternly.“You wil

    FRANKIEIt’s been one whole month. One whole month of delivering drugs to Annex. One whole month of making money. By money, I mean real money. At least I can afford new clothes, all the meals, take care of Jim, move to a decent place and there is still money left somewhere.Good thing is that Jim is working too. He works at Lex and I don’t have to worry about him being involved in illegal things.I pull the quilt off my body and smile. I finally have my own room, in a new house and Jim has his room too. Can’t thank Sera enough. If it were not for her, I couldn’t be living this life. This is a lot. I’m sure mum is happy wherever she is.My phone vibrates on the nightstand making me yawn in irritation or some sort of confusion. It’s Trey. He keeps on calling and I don’t want anything to do with him.Who is he? Who is this man who goes to my boss' office and threatens him? Who is this man that is driving a Porsche and has a driver at his beck and call?The manager told me he was threaten

    TREYI cover my face with a pillow and groan. Frankie’s number has been out of service for the last three weeks and every time I call, it’s the same story.At first, she wasn’t picking my calls and now her number is out of service?More than a month without hearing from her. Without hearing her sexy voice and I don’t think I can take it anymore.I reach for my phone and dial her number again. The same old story. Out of service.“Fuck!” I curse and toss it on the bed. I run my fingers through my hair and snort in annoyance.What the fuck is wrong with her? I give her my attention and she decides to do this? To fuck with my mind? To play around with my feelings?Ugh!I sit up and support my back with the headboard. Angrily, I pick the phone and decide to delete her number. I’m done with this shit. I’m done with this crap and she can as well go and screw herself because I don’t care anymore.What am I even doing? She doesn’t care about me. My calls go unanswered for a month and now her

    FRANKIEI hear something like a knock on my door and sit up, rubbing my sleepy eyes. There is a second knock which makes me huff in annoyance. I don’t know who would be knocking on my door this late. Room service? No. I didn’t order for anything so the question is who could it be? The person on the other side doesn’t know anything about patience because they knock the third time making me scurry out of bed and walk to the door seething with anger. I open the door angrily and come face to face with a fuming Trey. His eyes are still beautiful but you can’t miss the anger in them.Why is he this angry?Oh yeah! I know why so no need for rhetorical questions.“What are you doing here?” I ask walking back into the room.“What do I look like I’m doing here?” he asks walking in and slamming the door angrily. This is another level of mad.“How did you find me?”“What the hell is wrong with you Frankie?” he tosses the bag into the closet and approaches me, clenching his jaw.Holy crap! F

    He pushes me to lie on the bed and looks down at me. His eyes change. They become dark and foggy. More intense and it’s driving me crazy. My whole being yearns for him. My whole body is aching for him.He lies on top of me, running his knuckles on my cheekbone. Everything he does is driving me crazy. Even if he decides to sneeze or cough, that will still drive me crazy. I don’t know what he is doing to me but I’m not willing for him to stop. I rather stay in this torture, where my whole body is burning for him, rather than away from him.“You decided to put me through hell?” he whispers sucking at the hollow of my throat. This is hot. It’s intentional but hot.“Mmh tomboy! You wanted to make me suffer?” he rubs his nose on mine, in a very sensual way.“I will go with Frankie.” I whisper waiting for the breath to be sucked out of me completely. “I will go with tomboy. You are my tomboy.” He whispers and goes back to nuzzling my neck. “And you know what?”“What?” I whisper back, trying

    I’m wrapped in Trey's arms when I wake up. His legs are wrapped around mine making it hard for me to get out of bed. I look at his handsome face and smile. He is so peaceful when asleep and I could watch him all day and night.I lift my hand to touch him but withdraw it and put it back in it’s position. I don’t know why it feels wrong yet he is mine.Yeah, right. He is mine. He came to Paris to see me. He tracked me down and he is now here with me. He made love to me. Told me he wants me to be his girlfriend. He said his whole being wants me. What other assurance do I want? For him to put a sticker that says he is mine on his forehead?Maybe.I grin at my wicked thought. It can’t be a bad idea. I want the whole world to know I’m his and he is mine.To hell with whatever fear I have. I will deal with my insecurities later.I raise my hand again and trail my knuckles on his beautiful face. He takes my hand, with his eyes still closed and kisses the knuckles making my stomach clench.

    The hell?That’s not the big deal. The big deal is that this bitch, whoever the hell she is, has her lips on Trey’s lips. My man's lips. Do you understand what I mean?This is the same man who was telling me how much he wants me and has the guts to kiss another woman? It’s not a deep kiss but the hell?Please bite me. It’s still a kiss to me. You don’t get to make contact with my man’s lips and expect me to be okay with it. What I don’t do is sharing. He is my man and there is no debate on that. Who am I? Hail Mary?Really Trey?What is this? We are now playing with each other's emotions? Because if that’s the case, I’m so good at that.He pushes her off him gently and gives her a smile that barely reaches the face.Oh! Now he finally lets her go!“What’s up Amara?”Amara? What a terrible name? Is she one of his flings?“Hey Trey? Missed you. What a surprise!”Oh yeah! What a surprise! He is mine bitch!I roll my eyes and glare at her but she doesn’t see it. Her whole attention is on

    I widen my eyes at the man standing before us. “Dad?” Jim and I call in unison. I look at Trey who raises his brow at me and shifts his confused gaze to Greg or if you prefer Joe. He is my father. My dead-beat father and I wonder why he changed his name. So he is the man behind my suffering? I know he was when I was a kid but here we are. I'm grown up yet he still made me suffer. I lost my baby because of him. Because of the shameless man standing before us, who I hate with my whole being.“Wait.” Trey is so confused. “Greg is your dad?”“Nope.” Jim is quick to deny.“Come on Jim. You know I am.” I don’t know whether I should call him Greg, Joe or dad. I'm so confused.“Isa?” he calls stepping towards me. I step back and Trey holds me steadily.“Don’t call my name. You have no right!” I snap at him and look around. I notice Abel approaching us.“I have been looking for you Isa. I miss my daughter.”“Maybe you are talking about a different daughter. All you did was make our lives mis

    It's Saturday; the day we are supposed to be going to Abel’s gala event. It has been an eventful week. Aiden and Jenny were arrested. They are still locked up and they are going to be locked up for a long time.Abel and Sera can’t keep their hands off each other. Sera is now working at one of Trey’s company. She wasn’t aware of the issue with fake drugs. Trey had Andrews security footage checked and it turned out that Sera was delivering the drugs but they were taken away once she left. It ruled out our suspicions of her involvement.Jim?He lives with us now and is also working at Trey’s company. I slip into some knickers and put on a necklace. The same necklace that Trey gave me on Monday. I stand in front of the mirror and look at myself with a smile. This is now my life. A life full of servants, a big house, expensive clothes and jewelry. It’s funny how one’s life can change this much. Months ago, I was so hopeless, no hope for the future. I was a waitress in some local club,

    FRANKIETrey is here. I knew he would find me. I try to breath but Aiden’s grip on my neck makes it impossible for me. I look at Trey hoping that he will get me out of here. His gaze is full of pity, fear and anger. He makes one step forward but stops when Aiden tightens the grip making me groan with pain.“Make another step and I will slit her throat!” He threatens.This is a new Aiden. I didn’t expect this from him. Didn’t expect such a monster. And now he is holding a knife on my neck. Eddie, Kevin and Abel’s bodyguard have their guns pointed at him.“Let her go and you can have me.” Trey tries to reason with him. “I’m not a fool asshole! I won’t let her go until you do what I want.”“What do you want?”“Everything you have. I could have had that if it were not for this bitch!” “She is not to blame. What do you want exactly ?”“Your everything. I want you to go down. Thought you would after the fake drugs thing.”“What do you mean?”“You think Greg was responsible for that alone

    TREYFrankie has taken long in the washrooms. Maybe she is not yet done but it’s been over twenty minutes. I look at the washroom direction and look at Abel and Sera.“Frankie is taking long.”“Yeah. I will go and check.” Sera offers.“Nope. I will go check whether she is okay.” I pull my stool back and stand. I walk towards the ladies’ and open the door but there is one lady, who is looking at herself in the mirror. She sees me and glares at me.“It’s the ladies’.” She says rudely.“I know. Are you alone here?” I ask looking around. All the toilets are unoccupied “Yap.” She answers and goes back to what she was doing.Where is Frankie? Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Why am I this unsettled?I open the door and step out. I look around but there is no sign of her. I should probably look for her outside. Maybe she went out for some fresh air.I walk out of the restaurant and look around. My eyes scan the area but there is no sign of her. I decide to ask around and walk to a

    Do those two know each other? Or did they team up after their rejection? Because that’s the only possible explanation you can get for their being here together.“Are you okay?” Trey asks in a whisper.“Yeah. I'm okay.” I answer and gulp down the wine in my glass.“Maybe we should move to the bar.” Abel suggests.“Yap.” Trey says and stands up. He holds out his hand and leads me to the bar, pulling a bar stool for me. I give him a smile and sit. He sits next two me, while Abel and Sera sit directly opposite us.“What are you taking?”“Some wine will do. I’m working tomorrow remember?” He smiles and goes ahead to give our orders to the waitress.I can’t stop thinking about Aiden and Jenny? Are those up to something nasty? Was Trey right about Aiden? Because he has warned me to stay away from him a couple of times. Does it mean he is not who I think he is?No. I’m just being paranoid. They may be together but it doesn’t mean they are up to no good. Maybe they are talking about something

    FRANKIEIt’s Monday again. My worst day in a week, especially after such a busy weekend. A weekend full of partying, where Trey introduced me to his world.I moved in with him, something Aiden didn’t take lightly but he later accepted it. At least, that’s what I think.I’m busy with a file on the computer when I hear some footsteps approaching. I look up and widen my eyes at a grinning Sera.“Sera!” I stand to hug her.“So this is where my bitch has been hiding?”“Yes. What’s up? Didn’t expect to see you this early.”“It’s one hour to lunch swiry. It’s not that early. Just missed you.”“Missed you too.” I lead her to some seats, grinning at her.“This is your new life? Look at you all girlish. Expected some tomboy look.”“I had to change my look. The new job dictated so. What have you been up to?”“Dre disappeared, I don’t know where to and his number is out of service. I’m back to waiting tables at Lex.”“There is something I have to tell you.”“What? Are you okay?”“Yeah but a lot h

    TREYI turn on the bed and open my eyes. Frankie is not in bed. She is probably in the kitchen or with Stacy and Celine. There is something I’m scared of.Losing her again. I don’t want to lose her. I want her with me forever. I don’t want Aiden to come in between us. I shouldn’t be worried about him taking her away from me because I’m the one she loves but I have to be careful. He wanted to poison her mind. He wants her, not because he loves her but wants to punish me. He knows she is my weakness. That I will do anything for her but I’m not letting him do that. He will never have her. She spent the night with me, not him. She told me that she loves me so meaning she is mine but I have to get Aiden out of the way first.That’s why I stepped out last night. I went to see Abel. Needed some advice from him on how I should do that and we came up with a plan. I just have to keep her away from him until our plan works.I step out of bed and walk to the bathroom. I take a quick shower and s

    He cups my boobs and kisses my hair.“Waiting baby.”“Don’t do that. I won’t concentrate.” I say knowing well what he does to me.“Okay.” He chuckles and uncups my boobs wrapping his arms around me.“My real name is Isa.”“Isa? What about Frankie?”“Frankie is my street name. I changed the name when mum died and I had to go to the streets.”“I’m sorry baby.”“Don't be.” I rub his arms and take a deep breath. “I come from a poor background. I know what it means to go hungry. My dad was a drunkard who would come home drunk and beat mum up. My brother, Jim, couldn’t take it and ran away. I had no idea where he was until few months ago when he came to Lex looking all shaggy.”I pause to let it sink in.“One day, dad came home drunk. I heard a scream and went to protect mum but he hit me and left angry. He came back later and got into an argument with mum then stabbed her.” I swallow heavily. Trey rubs my arms and raises my right hand. He kisses the knuckles and takes a sharp breath.“He

    She swirls the drink in her glass glaring at me. Am I going to fight with her over Trey? Nope. I don’t wanna do this.“Jenny, right?” My voice is laced with sarcasm. “What do you want?”“For you to stay away from Trey. You don’t belong to our class.”I can’t believe she has the audacity to tell me this. There has never been anything between her and Trey.“Oh! Really now?”“Yap. Stop throwing yourself at him. He doesn’t love you. That’s why he made you his help. Go back to Aiden. You are better off working as a help.”“I can see you know a lot about me.” I take a sip of my margarita and look at her, with amusement.“Leave this party. I will pay you. I will give you any amount you want to leave Trey alone. He belongs to people like us. People with class and you are not part of our word.”“I see.” I chuckle and take another sip of my drink.“How much do you need to disappear? Name your price.”“So you are serious about this?” I laugh and cross my legs.“Yap. I want Trey and you are in t
