[25]
||Hardie Morrison||
Every thing seems to be in a haste as the minute and hour hand keep skipping faster than expected.
Nothing of special happened in the last three days, just some minor challenges I'm having with my shipped goods. All thanks to Lincoln since he has his own way of solving them with out any problem.
And my arm seems to be healing faster with just plaster on it. I haven't heard from Vladimir since our last meeting but I'm not really bothered about him.
And yes, I'll be paying another cunning and flirty visit on my precious little pawn today. I need her to fall deeper and unconsciously into my trap till she'll be stranded and have no where to go or any one to run to.
And Gareth, I haven't get much information about him. Yes, I don't need to focus more on Jamel and spare Gareth out of it. They both offer me the deal and they should both face the consequence right?
To me, Gareth doesn't seem like he's really active in the game. If he isn't, then why did he sign it in the first place? Maybe something is off and I haven't notice yet which I really need to figure out soon.
Or maybe I should tell Lincoln to dig in more information about Gareth, that will do.

Its almost night and there she is on her usual spot, waiting for a cab or maybe partially for me too. I hopped down from my car and walk to her.
"Happy to see me, princess?" I smiled revealing my dental.
She turned reluctantly, to face me. I could read the hidden smile in her eyes as she tried hard not to blush. "I didn't get to see you in the last two days, I was mad at you but on second thought I was thinking some thing bad happened to you." She pouts, wearing a childish frown.
"You should know I'm always busy, that's why." I replied casually.
"Those two days, I wish I know where you reside. I would have pay you a surprise visit." She added still pouting.
"You wan' know where I stay?" I asked and she gave a curt nod. "I switched between houses, I don't have a permanent home I resides."
"I won't mind if you decide to show me all." She smile and I raised my brows.
"Huh …?"
"What?" She asked with Innocence. "Oh, I'm asking much, right?"
I kept mute, not giving her a reply. I can't bring her where I reside and beside she's just a pawn in my game who shouldn't know a thing about me.
"Fine then, you shouldn't show me all. Your most visited house will do, I might be lucky to find you there when ever I decide to pay you a surprise visit." Her face was full of life as she utter those words.
"You really like paying people a surprise visit, huh?" I asked with a small smirk.
"Not people, ahh. Just Jamel and maybe I'll be doing same to you too, if you don't mind. Or do you?" She keep gushing out her words.
All I could do was gawked at her in silence, she's really of a different specie. She is just this type who doesn't seems to have any challenges or problems she is facing. Sadly enough, I might get to be her problem soon.
Hehe.
"You aren't saying a thing, Hardie?" She frowned lightly.
"Sorry, I zoned out that's why." I said plainly and she creased her brow like she's curious to knowing why I'm zoned out. "I was thinking about the dirty things I wan' do with y... uuh, never mind."
"Wh …" She wanted to say some thing but shut her mouth.
"You wan' say some thing to protest, huh?" I said with a grin. "Oh, you want to know the dirty things I wan' do and with who?"
"Ahh, not at all. Its your decision, you can do all want you wan' do." She rushed her words like she' was forced to.
"And you don't care to know?" I pressed on.
"No, why will I?" She said, avoiding my gaze.
"Why do I have the feelings that you are lying?" I asked but she only gave me a weird look. "Never mind."
"Can we go now?" She asked in a voice barely escaping a whisper.
"Hmm, sure." I winked at her.

She was busy fondling with her fingers in the car as her stare was outside. I was starting to think some thing is bothering her or maybe not.
"You wan' go somewhere?" I asked, breaking her thought.
"I don't think I want to, just take me home." She replied with out sparing me a glance.
"Fine then." I shrugged and added to the car's speed. I'm a bit sure she's used to the death speed I used in driving and I was right cause she didn't freak out.
Then some thing struck me, I recalled what Lincoln told me and slowed down.
"You stay with Jamel now?"
She turned her head abruptly with a surprise stare. "How do you know, I didn't recall telling you about it."
"I'm Hardie, remember. And I always have my ways on anything." I replied with a lopsided smirk.
"Yeah, right." She shrugged. "I've been staying with my brother for four days now."
"Why?"
"Why?" She creased her brow.
"I mean, why did you leave your home. You had a fight with her?"
"Oh! Not at all, mom traveled and she doesn't want me to stay alone. So she asked me to reside with Jamel for sometime."
"I guess the night is still young." I muttered.
"Young for…?"
"Oops. That wasn't suppose to be loud." I chuckled. "A nearby park will do?"
"We won't stay long, right?" She asked and I nodded. "Alright."
I speed up and in no time, we arrived at the park. "What you want." I asked immediately we hopped out of the car.
"I want… that." She pointed at the cotton candy not to far from us with a wide smile.
We strutted towards the vendor and she collect two. "Want one?" She grinned, offering me one from it.
"I don't take things like this, they are for kids." I replied flatly. "Here." I dropped few dollars for the candy and gently dragged her away.
"Slow down, I want ice cream today." She said with her mouth stuffed with candy.
I groaned inwardly and stopped before the ice cream vendor.
"I want three. Chocolate flavour." She squeaked. "My hands are full, give it to him."
"Wh…" I wanted to protest but keep my cool. I collected the creams and paid for them. "Anything else?"
She shook her head sideways. "Let seat here."
I didn't argue or say a thing as we sat down. I watched her quietly as she was eating on the candy, she look like a kid that way and I couldn't help but chuckle.
She finished the both candy in no time. "My ice cream?" I gave them to her. "Thanks for helping with my babies."
Babies? And she's eating the ice cream?
"You said babies?"
"Yeah."
"And you eating them? Who eat their babies, huh?"
"I guess Arlin does, these are my delicious babies." She grinned and continue her thing.
"Its been long I visit the park. Why? Because I love coming here with Jamel to have fun until he turned eighteen and rarely stay at home. Mom is always a busy person, so no one to take me out." She muttered after a long silence.
"Oh!" I mouthed unsure of what to say.
"But I'm glad I'm here with someone. Thank you." She smiled and did the surprising.
I froze as she gave me a quick kiss on my left cheek. "H huh…?"
"Ahh, it's nothing. I always do the same to Jamel when ever he bring me to the park." She uttered freely like it's a daily routine for her.
I said nothing but sigh. This girl! I don't know what I should classify her with.
"Are you angry?"
"Why did you think I am."
"Cause you are not saying any thing. I'm sorry, I won't do that again, I was only excited." She mumbled, staring down at her fingers.
I sigh at her childish behaviour and grabbed her hand gently. "Let 's get you home. Its late already..."
[26] ||Arlington Arlington||He parked the car just outside the huge gate of Jamel's building with his stare still on the wheel. "We are here…" he announced flatly with out sparing me a glance."Are you angry at me?" I pouted, wearing a childish frown. "I already promise not to try any thing childish again. I'm sorry …"He only nodded with out giving me any response. I guess he's still angry and does not want to talk about it.I let out a short sigh. "Good night then and sleep tight." I muttered, trying my best not to sound annoyed and was about to get down when he grabbed my wrist swiftly."Why did you gr…" He shut me up by smashing his lips on my. I was shocked and speechless. Since my existence, no guy has ever k!ssed me and I was confused not because i don't know what's next to do but from his sudden action.I've watched couples of movies with k!ss scene but never for once tried It.He used his tongue to part my lips as he gain entrance to my mouth, I reciprocate and…The k!ss la
[27] ||Gareth Sebastian||"Look who is here?" I chuckled lightly at Jamel appearing figure. Finally, my favourite puppet came running back to me after what seems like ages. Ahh, this looks like a big relief. Huh?His faces was not smiling as he put on a plain expression, he sat down on the couch few feet before me."You finally came." I uttered plainly. "Thought you still angry at your buddy, tsk.""Is that why you stay away from me?" He asked, glaring daggers at me."You still angry, huh?" I faked a laugh. "Here, take a puff to calm your anger. Or better still pick up this gun and vent your anger on me.""Nah, thanks." He waved my smoke off, eyeing the gun on the table. "I finished a stick not long ago and I can use gun on you either.""Hmm, right." I shrugged. "So, why is almighty Jamel here? Does he need a little help, huh?""You know me too well, don't you?" He snickered."Of course, I do. Why won't I huh?" I said in a friendly scornful tone. "After all I am your best c
[28] ||Arlington Arlington||Morning came after a long night rest. I don't really feel like going to work today, but what can I do?Absolutely nothing!I can easily tell Jamel to ask few days off from Mr Darwin on my behalf or Hardie might be easier, but that will feel weird.And on second note, I'll be bored staying all a lone in this huge mansion with no one to talk to. Jamel doesn't have any worker not even a Butler except Justin, who works at the gate. And the chef, I rarely seen him except the early hours in the morning and late evenings.Ahh, I some times wondered how Jamel survive this huge house every new day in boredom.After minutes of lying helplessly in bed, I sluggishly got up and walked in to bathe room. I finished up with my daily routine and put on a simple yet attractive wears. Who knows if I might get to see Hardie together. He is just like a night burglar who appears with out any notice.I was quick with my dressing, I don't really wear make ups cause I'm not
[29] ||Hardie Morrison|| Since Lincoln said the only way I can get her head over heels with me is by being romantic and trying out new couple's stuff with her. I had to ask for her off permit from work from her boss and he did with out being hesitant. I already arranged for a proper date in Las Vegas for this afternoon and I'm glad every thing will be working out as planned. And since we will be going with a private jet, I was already waiting at the port for her arrival. It would have been better of we take off from my home but It doesn't seem appealing to me. I don't really want her to know much about me since she is just a… ahh, I shouldn't be saying any thing on this. After almost an hour of waiting, Lincoln finally parked and they both hopped down from the car. Her appearance was noticeable as she appeared more prettier in the dressing I ordered for her. Anger was boiling in me as I watched men drooled over her. She is my business and no one else has the right to
[30] ||Arlington Arlington||"Okay, hop on my back." Hardie ordered quite gently as we were about to leave. I wanted to protest but considering the fact that I'm too lazy to stand on my own, I quickly agreed with out second thinking."Wait, let me take off my shoes first." Without waiting for his response, I bent down to pull them off."Count down. On three, two, on..." I didn't wait for him to finish counting as I quickly stood up and hope on him back, I ended on with my right leg bare footed."You are mean, Hardie." I pouted wearing a childish frown, he only shrug with out a reply."Eating more than half the meal on the table, you still weigh very light." Hardie chuckled on our way out of the restaurant. I frowned at his statement and pricked his cheek."If you should continue doing that, I might drop you and let you do the walking yourself." He looks like he is threatening. Well since I don't want to do the walking myself, I decided not to prick him any more."Fine, I won't." I
[31] ||Arlington Arlington||I don't know if it will work but I have to try it out first.I punched in Jamel's digit on my phone and he picked up on the first ring.⬆: Hey Jamel, it's Arlington.⬇: I know, why did you call? I can't remember the last time you give me a call.⬆: I know, just wan' hit you up on something.⬇: What' is it?⬆: I won't be coming home tonight, I'll be...He cut me short. ⬇: Its nothing, you can take as much time as you want. You are an adult now. See you tomorrow, I'm busy for now.With that, he hung up. I sigh in relieve, much more easier than I thought.First, I need to get off this clothing before any thing else.I hissed at my stupid self, this is the only cloth I'm with and I don't think I can sleep with only towel on.I have no other option than put this on after my night bath then. Geez!*Stepping out of the bath room with only towel on, I stood before the dressing table to dry my hair."Hey, are you in there?" Hardie's voice came up after a
[32] ||Gareth Gareth||I stare at the pictures with me, with a dirty grin on my face. I never for once thought she will get attracted to drug dealer and Hardie was the least of them.Some thing doesn't seems right with Hardie chasing after Arlington. Yes, she's pretty or should I say beautiful? No doubt about that, though. But the Arlington I know, is just too Innocent to date a guy with half the personality Hardie possess, Not to talk more of Hardie himself.Interesting, isn't it? Who would ever think she'll get to meet some one like Hardie, huh?This is the perfect opportunity I've been waiting for all my life and would I watch it slip away from my grip? Hell no! Right.Come to think of it, what if Hardie wants to use Arlington to get Jamel? I'm sure there is no two ways about it.But here I am at the verge of turning the table against him. Just in matter of few days, order will be restored.I let out a thrilling laughter yet strong enough to send cold chill down any body's
[33] ||Jess Jesse||My head was banging loudly, I feel next to nothing as I slowly open my eyes. Its not even morning yet, how did I get so much head ache at the middle of the night? Its been long I party or take hard drinks.Maybe a pill or two will do, I tried getting up but its use less."Call the boss, tell him she is awake." I heard a male voice. Am I not suppose to be alone? I look around, the room was partially dark, so I didn't get to see the face of the stranger."Sure, I'll be back in minutes." That was uttered by a different voice and what follows next was the soft bang of the door.The fragrance oozing off this room was different from mine and its appealing, the bed seems to be more comfy compare to mine. I'm suppose to be in my room and not here, even if the aura here seems inviting."Who are you and what am I doing here?" I wanted to yell but my voice could barely escape a whisper."Hey, keep calm and save your questions to your self." The voice was strict and
