"You two never ceaze to amaze me. Bel, it has been three fucking years and still that kind of affection you two emit, it's still fucking fresh." she spoke her mind out loud as we entered the car.

"That's why I insist on you, Samantha Russell, to find your self a man." I bit my words knowing clear she has never settled down or better have such thoughts of settling down.

It has been all drama for her to the extent of a soap opera, concerning relationships. One month she is in a super serious relationship the next she ain't in one, single indeed. She says she is looking for the best yet one way or another she always ends up with either total assholes or idiots. Am really starting to doubt her choices concerning men.

"Relax, Belinda, amma find my self a man. Sooner or later. You'll see" she assured me. Yah wishful thinking. Good luck to her. Judging by how quick she falls in love and out of love I doubt she will find him sooner. Later am sure of that but sooner, naah.

Well that's that. She drove us back to my apartment where we had settled in destroying my apartment with our little bitchy party. By which her on the other hand, she invited couple of dudes even though I didn't like the thought of it. I knew I'd get drunk and do silly stuffs, by which Douglas would find soon and it will be a whole lecture.

" Enjoy the night missy, me am going to enjoy myself by making out with any guy that says am pretty." she was dead serious about it.

"Sam don't trash my sheets." I warned teasingly.

"Don't worry I'll buy you new ones. We have the money. Right?" she shouted back heading down the hallway to the direction of the bedroom with a tall dark masculine guy.

That I knew I needed new bed, new sheets and new mattress. The party went well since we all enjoyed the night. The fact was I didn't know a single soul here that's what made it super fun. It was all drink and enjoy music. Some dude got drunk and told me his life long story. The nerve of me, there I was listening keenly and teasing him knowing clear he won't remember anything we talk about. Anyways who doesn't like free food and alcohol on top.

The night was still young when we decided to end the party. Most guys were already drunk and I didn't want any of them sleeping over. It was barely midnight but we had to. Tomorrow was a busy day too. I needed to go to work and Sam needed to finish up some of her jewelry deliveries.

"You phycho." I spoke upon seeing her in one of my pj's.

"What, can't I have a peace of mind in my own home?" she asked shamefully without a hint of shame in her voice.

"Darling, it's my apartment, basically it's my home." I stated.

"We are best friends for crying out loud. Your pj's are mine too plus your apartment is mine too. Live with that."

"Better replace my beddings tomorrow or else I'll kill you." I threatened.

"Fine lil missy." she hissed getting under covers.

We settled in for the night in the sitting area cause I wasn't going to sleep on those dirty sheets left by Sam. The small bed we had made for ourselves wasn't that comfortable compared to my cozy one, but it will do for the night.

" So when is Harvey going to propose?" Sam asked out of the blues yawning.

"I have no idea." I paused. "Anyways we are not in any rush. We still have a lot to ourselves before thinking about starting a family." I stated.

"Excuses lil missy." She spoke. "Am pretty sure he is taking his time, that's forever. Are you sure he wants to take the next step with this your relationship? I mean not to jinx it but it has been three years, Bell, three fucking amazing years of your lives."

She was right, it has been three years now. No engagement. No marriage. No kids. Just us two fooling around as if the world revolves around us. Sometimes I wonder if he still wants to be with me yet he has never given me any doubts to believe he doesn't.

" Maybe it's high time you talk to him about it. "she suggested.

" I don't know you know him, he'll get in his moods again. Remember the last time I asked and he ended up travelling for a month to hide from me. "

" Yeah, that was very cowardly of him. " she laughed at the end.

We both laughed at that thought. Even though he is a grown man sometimes he ends up doing somethings that will make me term him as a kid.

" Better make sure he still wants to be with you for the rest of his life. I don't want you crying over it when he ruins the three years you build together."

"Sam, cut me some slack." I begged.

"I just want to be sure. Plus am pretty sure your family is hot head on you about marriage stuffs. You will be turning Twenty two in four months time. Right?"

"Yeah." I agreed.

"Start planning your future now. Time to take over the family business and stop fooling around with poker game." she advised.

"Look whose talking." I paused sitting up while eyeing her. "You enjoy the money."

"Yah I do but...Your future is important too."

" Fine. I'll think about it. "

Samantha Russell was the first person I knew when I relocated here. We met at a night club one Saturday evening. We both spoke about our shitty lives that we mourned together filling our empty emotions with the most expensive drinks. Till then we have been best of mates. Saving each other from ones misery.

With that we both said our good night's as we retired for the night.

    Early bird catches the worm. I learned it the hard way. There I was running my way to the direction of the cafe. Upon seeing the line I almost thought about skipping breakfast but my tummy said otherwise. Indeed it was a long one, I was already late for my meet up with Douglas. We do business together , thus he needed us to discuss important details in person. '' Shit this is not going to work out for me.'' i complained out loud. ''Late for work?'' I heard a male voice behind me. "Yah." I stated going back to check what the time was. "You are not much of a talker. Ain't you?" he asked. "Am kinda hungry and the line isn't helping much." I complained going back to what I had been doing on my phone. "Wait there I'll go get you something. What do you need?" he asked leaning in slightly. "Black coffee and vanilla croissants." I stated. "Alright." Ten minutes later it was already his turn to order. He had been standing in line while I enjoyed my rest at the furthest end of

    'I'll be there in twenty.'' Then I disconnected. I got into action dolling myself up. A simple purple tight jumpsuit , a fluffy short jacket and sneakers. I was ready to go. On top I added a black shoulder bag to match the outfit. Quickly I marched out , locked the door and hurried down the hallway. The twenty minutes were already down to negative ten. The only car I saw was a black gladiator jeep. There was a man standing next to it. By the looks of it I don't suppose he is the owner of the jeep. Upon seeing me he walked to where I stood. ''Miss. Nadia.'' He wanted to confirm. ''The one and only.'' Soon I boarded the car and we hit the road. Down the main road in Rochester , two blocks we were driving down 152 Baden street. He took a detour of the main road to a narrow road that led straight to a government private chopper helipad. ''I believe this is my last stop.'' He spoke while slowing down and stopped the car.

    "Did you discuss with him about marriage?" Sam asked loud enough that the mandem heard what we were talking about. Everyone looked at us as if they too wanted to know the full details about my marriage. "Sh!" I shushed her looking away. "You are getting married?" Neal asked surprised."Not in a million years." I stated as a hint of embarrassment flushed my face, dager eyes fixed on Sam afterwards. She was the one who started this whole discussion."Great. I was a little worried that my pal here won't have someone to spend his life with." Neal spoke looking past me to the dangerous stranger who had caught my eye. For a second there our eyes met. What felt like an eternity was swap in just mere seconds before he broke the contant getting back to his half filled glass of whisky. That might have bunned since he gulped it down dry, but to my surprise he had no expression at all. In fact he poured another glass for himself and drank the same way as the first time.

    "I know this is not my place to say this but..." He dragged. "It's okay. Am all ears." "He's just angry, give him some time he'll come around. Right now he's just disappointed." he stated. "I know but why would he be disappointed. It just slipped my mind about telling him I was going to accompany Sam." I said. "The person who called him am sure he was the one at fault. In Spyce Astoria, he also has enemies there. I bet they kind of hit the nerve when they delivered the message. Plus..." he dragged the last part. "Plus what?" I asked. "Plus the people you were in company with they are dangerous so stay away." he warned.

    It has been two weeks since my argument with Harvey. He's been nothing but an overprotective daddy. Everywhere I go he makes me go with bodyguards around. Sam is the one suffering so much since I don't mind but she does. Night clubs has been a plaque to us. If not him being with us then we are stuck in the apartment.Most times am the one on the loosing end since Sam can decide to go out, live her life without me. Am stuck at either his home or mine watching movies and living a boring life. I loved being in his house since his bed is always neat and soft. "Bell." Harvey snapped his fingers to get my attention. "Whats on your mind?" he asked."Just bored.""You are tired of me already." he joked."What! No!"I pecked his lips coming on top of him."You know I'd never get tired of you."He pulled me closer, rolled my hair in his palm as he smashed his lips against mine. It was fierce yet I loved it. At first he was being friendly teasing me but things got heated as we progressed. Sligh

    "Hope I didn't go over board." he whispered while kissing my forehead.I shook my head then kissed him on his lips savouring everything in."You should probably get ready for your meeting." I reminded him.For a while there he cuddle up in my arms gently toying with my breast."You are coming with me." he stated.Soon we were in the shower but that didn't go so well as planned. We ended up messing around. By the time we left his home it was already dark outside. He had several missed calls that he ended up typing "am on my way" text without caring for how long he had delayed whatever he was supposed to do.

    "My eyes are up here." he spoke while tilting my face back to his eyes with his index finger. I did not notice how my eyes went from eyes to chest, what made me nervous was how he looked at me with so much lust. His lips were plum that I wanted to have a taste too. " Want a taste?"he asked out of the blues. This got me off guard. I blushed. He must have seen it since he aligned his eyes with mine. Doing the three triangle formula from my eyes to my lips then back to my eyes. " What are you doing? "I asked pushing him slightly away. " I like you. "he stated blindly. " What! You pervert.

"Why the hurry?"I asked taking my hand bag while signalling for Sam to stand we are about to leave. " Tomorrow I'll be heading to Texas for a business meeting. "he stated. " What!

    Quickly I crouched, leaned forward past his arms and walked away to the changing room. My instincts kicked in when I felt him following close behind me. "So you are just going to watch me change or what?" I asked once we stepped in the changing room. "Remember when I told you in the shower to let me help?" He asked coming closer, eyes fixed on mine. "So... Are you going to help me change?" I whispered. Whatever was going on in his mind I could tell he was nowhere being a normal guy. He was more like a physho or maybe worse. "Do you...want me...to."He dragged. Slowly, I pushed him out and locked myself in. The nerve of this guy. He was beyond any expectation I had for the rich. It was impossible to believe that this world could produce such a perverted and despicable guy like him.Taking my time I dried myself and went to the extent of using his body lotion on my self. Putting on his t-shirt I regretted picking that up. Yes it was big enough for me to fit in but it w

    For couple of seconds he stared at me before taking a step in."So where am I going to sleep if you take the whole room to yourself?" He asked."This is your room?" I asked curiously.No wonder it smelt more like him. I did think about it but pushed the thought away when he didn't complain at first. "I had no idea. I thought it was a guest room or something..." I spoke shyly. "Guest room on the upper deck. Seriously." he teased. "You are so bad at guessing. You do know that. Right?" That was more like an insult but judging from everything he had I'd say that's where all this money had gotten him into. Bad behaviour accompanied by money. "You spaced. Mind telling me what your pretty little brain was working on?" He spoke while slowly taking steps towards me.Felt nervous instantly and stepped away. The next thing I find myself in his arms."If we are going to share the room, I'll put up some rules." I stated in order to avoid the awkwardness I felt inside as his tight grip on my
