April
King Lee meows.
"I wish I can take you with me too but they don't allow underaged to step into the club"
Call me weird, I don't care. I like to talk to King Lee like a person even though he's a puppy.
Megan, Vanessa and I initiated girls night twice in a Month on Saturdays much to the fact that it's the only time we all get to hang out as a result of the busy schedule with our jobs.
"See you in a bit"
I halt the speed of my car as i approached the traffic light on red and then suddenly a car hit the back of my car.
What the hell?!.
I alight to check the damage done.
I looked around to see if i can find Road officials but of course, it's too late to find any. I am just going to deal with this lady's way.
"I am so sorry Ma'am"
He's just an old man dressed like a chauffeur. It's not even his car, how am i supposed to get angry now?
"It's just a small scratch, I'll fix it"
"No need to apologize, James," another voice said as he emerged from the fancy car.
I guess that's the owner.
JC? Is this another coincidence? Why bump into him of all people?
It's bad enough that i want to sleep with him but he's a drop-dead gorgeous arrogant dude who teased me at the parking lot and the fact that he comforted me on the rooftop doesn't give him credit. He's still a fuck boy and heaven help me i want to.
"It's your fault you know, you suddenly stopped, you thought you could go past the green but it failed you and turned red resulting to your abrupt stop"
"And what about you? Your driver was speeding, didn't he see the red light too?"
"Where's your phone?" He stretches his hand forward.
"Why?"
He walked to my side of the car, reached for my phone and then gave it back to me after punching his number on it.
"I'll cover the expenses, call me when you have a figure"
What a joke.
I rolled my eyes and watch him leave in his perfectly tailored grey suit.
Told you he's arrogant.
Okay, let me tell you what later happened on the rooftop. I walked away.
I didn't murder anyone, i just walked away.
So that's what happened.
Since then, i haven't bumped into him until now.
And he even saved his number as JC. I edit the name and change it to scum.
What a rude asshole.
I quickly spot my girls seated at the far end of the club.
Vanessa caught my attention first.
"April!" She called out and waved
"Vanessa, "I hugged her
"Megan" I placed brief kisses both on her cheeks.
"What took you so long?" Vanessa straightened in her seat.
"Need you ask her. She probably got delayed by you know who" Megan rolled her eyes.
"Wait a minute, Sean is just a one night stand.." I defensively say.
"A one night stand every night" Megan teased.
"He's just a man who fulfills my sexual needs and just happens to be good at it."
"So when last did you guys have a romp?" Vanessa beamed closer at me.
I hesitated before sagging my shoulders in defeat.
"Two weeks ago"
"That was our last hang out. You need a renewal" Megan said.
I didn't reply.
"You agree you do" Vanessa and Megan chuckle at each other while i stare in bewilderment.
"If i had known we'll open tonight's episode with sean i would have prepared for the Q and A"
"You should date him," Megan said after swallowing a shot of liquor down her throat.
"You know April, she doesn't believe in love" Vanessa nods in disappointment.
"Finally, someone who gets me" i wave in the air.
"The situation is a mutual quid pro pro. We are both sexual partners and.." Megan leaves my mouth open as she interrupts.
"And who says fuck buddies can't end up wife and hubby?" She says.
"Me!" I concur
"Is that what you would say on your podcast? You make your listeners believe in love when you don't even believe in it." Megan said.
"I believe in love. I just think it's not for me"
"Everyone says that until the ultimate one shows up and they can't stomach it anymore"
Megan chugs another liquor.
"Speaking of, Vanessa's grand wedding is three weeks away" i scream, distracting them from the topic.
We both leaned close to hug Vanessa.
"A toast to Vanessa and hubby!" We all cheered.
Vanessa, Megan, and I belonged to the same sorority named Delta kappa in college and although we are not besties of any sort, we all kicked off as normal friends and till date still keep up with each other and as Vanessa's wedding draws near, we all planned alongside the groom gang to travel to a resort and host both parties bachelor and bachelorette night this coming weekend.
"Cheers to taming one of the city's elite, i hope all the groomsmen are single cause I'm about to find my prince charming," Megan said.
Vanessa met Jason Hilton during the first year after college and they became friends. Jason pretended to be poor just so he can find love for who he is and not what he has. Vanessa didn't care about wealth in a relationship, she's a fan of hustle hard and we'll make the money. Love is the ultimate language, wealth comes next.
They fell madly in love and when Jason revealed the truth, Vanessa was, of course, mad but she loved him and he wouldn't let her go so he put a ring on it.
Perfect Fairytale yeah? Well not all of us are Cinderella, some of us are just April Denvers who will never find their Prince. Heck, i don't believe in any prince.
And even if he comes knocking, i won't open the door.

Got a good job that pays me very well, will soon complete my mortgage payments, have amazing friends, got a car, i am happy.Though sometimes i suffer from all the symptoms of a mid-life crisis, comparing myself to my friends, wondering if I'll ever find more fulfillment in life, i am still happy and contented.Megan was right. I do need the D.I took another glance at myself in the bathroom mirror, carefully looking for where i might start wrinkling out.Are you truly happy?

Love you too"I air-kissed her then hung up.Megan had gone with Vanessa to explore the master suite while the guys are having a drink. I safely secure King Lee to sleep in one of the seats close to me and then bury my head in a magazine to avoid making eye contact with you know who."Can't avoid me for long" I heard JC said as he majestically walked towards my direction."You are so full of yourself you know, just because I didn't acknowledge your message gave you the presumption whereasI have been busy, too busy to text back a douchebag" I laid emphasis by dragging the last sentence."So you saw my message" He stuffed his hands in his pockets.I felt his eyes on me and it made me hot inside but it all turned cold when I saw Megan comi

If your happiness is measured by money, do all it takes to increase the numbers to a point you don't need to work to earn it anymore.That was what I could only think of as I entered my room in the Mandarin Oriental luxurious hotel.I'd only seen photos of the 18th Century property online with the girls but I didn't expect it to look so grand in physical.Traditionally filled with cascaded history.My room had a floor to ceiling glass view opposite the large bed, heated marble-floored bathroom with tub, and a balcony that revealed the beauty outside especially the famous Milan Cathedral that took nearly six centuries to complete and the Teatro Alla Scala.I hurriedly dropped my box by the bedside to go check out the other girl's room especially Vanessa's.Jason booked a

The kind of shock that hits you when you're caught stealing meat from the kitchen pot by your mum except this time i wasn't the one stealing.He's the thief.In case you're wondering what he stole, it's my sexuality. His being is just too hot to ignore and speaking of ignoring, i quickly remembered my self made pact to stay away from him like he was a disease.I picked up the towel and made a retreat back to my room."Too hot to handle?" His deep voice filled the silent room with induced echo.He's a proud ass, thinks too highly of himself and rude individual.I halt on my tracks to give him the reply of the century."Hate to swim with a child"Or so i thought.I heard his footsteps directing

The only thing you see in him is dick service." Megan said as she linked her arms together."It doesn't matter and i don't want us to stress this topic any further, let's just go and enjoy this vacation, we've got five more days

This was my tease to win and not the other way round.What happened to avoid him? Get your shit together April Denver.Meanwhile about 101 Corp, I'll mind my business until my attention is called. Besides, i called Cavanaugh's attention to the article and he didn't do anything so in other words, i did my part to avoid the current situation.I dismissed the bad vibe with a wave and then headed back to join the gang."Any problem?" Megan asked as i sat."None you should worry about" I replied."What did i miss?" I turn to face Megan who is seated beside me as the guys got busy in their heated conversation about who's settling

Was he lying?Was she lying?But there was no hint of deception in his eyes. I watched him rub his hands all over my lap as he knelt on the floor.How can such a man be a virgin? My eyes trailed his body with so much uncertainty.If I was his first, what's going to happen next? I've never been anybody's first."Your brain might explode," he said huskily as my attention fell back on his face.I hummed in response."You're thinking too much" he stopped what he was doing to look at me.

Like perfect timing, Belcarlis eyes twitched and then fully open."Morning" she greeted and I didn't respond."Are you okay?" She continued and I remained silent still.I was still in denial of something that was glaring at me with genuine evidence."How could you?" I asked"What's wrong?" She sat upright"Why did you do it!" I exclaimed and became furious at the way she exuded innocence whereas she had been deceitful all this while.The cops barged into my room observing all protocols before cuffing and dragging her out."What's going on here? I didn't do anything. Jordan" she called outI stood still trying to get a grip as her voice trailed off."We need to go" Jaso

Chapter 30AprilDuring my days in this dingy place, I'd come to learn its a human trafficking chain that preys on female victims who are later sold into the Mexican border where they end up mostly sex slaves.According to the activities that have been going on, we were going to be moved in a matter of days and it bothered me a lot to know that we might not be found. I had no idea where we were or how to escape but, I was willing to take a chance on it. I'd made friends with a couple of ladies and together we will escape tonight and alert the authorities to come save the others who are too wounded to make a run for it.As the time drew near, I became nervous and scared but at the same time willing to risk it all.

I was almost getting used to coming home to meet him until this morning because he would be going back to his place tonight. The selfish part of me wanted to make him permanent residence at my place but I had to be considerate.My mum accepting Jordan wholeheartedly because she trusts my judgment was one of the major highlights. I know it'll take more time for her to accept Jordan fully and all I just have to do is wait until then. I trust Jordan not to mess things up and she trusts me."I'm sorry Megan" I faked pity with my voice as I used my shoulder to secure the phone properly on my ear whilst going through the bulky folder on my des

The realization of the frightening situation dawned on me. I tried to recall the events before the blackout and remembered my call with Megan to meet up at my place for movie night, my excitement to tell Jordan I was leaving in person, and storming out of his office after catching him in a compromising position with Belcarlis. I also remember getting in my car and almost turning on the ignition when someone gagged me with a handkerchief that I figured must have been doused in chloroform because it immediately made me unconscious.Have I been kidnapped? The horror of where I could be and what could be done to me left me in fury. My gown was still intact a

I tried to break free from his embrace to no avail and felt his grip tighten around me."It's almost seven Jordan. I need to get ready for work." I groaned."Five more minutes" He whispered into the back of my ear. His voice, raspy.I looked around my room in silence and when the five minutes elapsed, I slapped him on his arm softly."I really have to get dressed now""Good morning to you too tease, " he said sarcastically and I chuckled.
