LATIFA'S POV
“Okay? Why don't you take me back to where I'm coming from if you are too mighty to be questioned like that, then get your ass a wife! pay me off and I will fucking leave your bushy evergreen forest called estate. I don't like what I hate” nagged out, creating a great stare at him nut as carless in return.
“Haha, I never knew whores seek attention… Uhm. Lovely” Alastair mocked.
he held my hand, and walked me to the wall, with my back laid against it as he sniffed on me again, my heart started racing, and I could feel the sweat proving its way beneath my shoe, it began to slip. Just one more word from him and it will go down tonight.
“Not your way, Latifa,” Alastair said releasing me from his warmth and creamed skin “…You need to shower”
“OMG,” I gasped as I detached myself from him totally, and walked into a private space to nurture my emotions again. to speak strongly to myself and remind myself why I was there in the first place. If only this young, handsome man would stop messing with my brain. I left for the bathing room as a strong husky voice accompanied immediately.
“I will be waiting at the dining space, if you are hungry”
Of course, I’m fucking hungry!
I muted like a dummy, startled at the same time. I continued with the bath, and just then, a sharp thought came to my mind. Oh, I didn't come with any clothes for a few days, that was another thought that had been boiling in my small mind throughout my bathing journey but I was out of the bathroom to see some pieces of designer nightwear, skincare products, and a soft flat flip-flop laid on the bed.
“Oh shit, this is not my size” I was given a white sleeveless fitted top and an oversized light Pink shot for a combination, I changed to my flip-flop slipper and strolled my way to some unknown compartment before I could discover the dining room, I saw him seated with his hands crossed together and a glass of brownish liquor on the table, I guess he was waiting for me.
I held the oversized area of pink shorts with my left hand as I counted each step leading to him with my head bowed low.
“You lost your way down here, I know,” Alastair said boldly with his comforting eyes gazing through my night makeover, the nightwear, and the flip-flop smacking the floor.
He kept calm and didn't compliment me. I went for the second seat away from him and waited for the mini banquet. A Nanny came through to dish the meal and the other chef stood aside with bottles of several drinks.
“Which do you prefer,” Alastair said directing his gestures towards the men with the bottle
After the meal, I took a glass of red wine to flush it all down.
“Nice meal,” I commented, still taking every bit of content left in my plate.
I was feeling myself and the whole scenario until one of his boys approached and whispered to him. He peeked at me, stood up, and left the room to the entrance where a man dressed in a navy-blue suit handed him an envelope as both exchanged handshakes.
“Follow me, Latifa” he ordered and walked past me and headed to the stairs that led to his big chamber, another room that had a different decoration which I doubt I had been before the dinner, I could see his things lying around the room, windows situated at the rightfully places with a flawless white curtain floating by the wind direction. On the ceiling was an oversized two-tier crystal white chandelier emitting gleam.
“Have we been to this room?” I asked Alastair who in return didn't reply to me
It had already been a long day for me, all I needed was to catch some sleep and rest my head, not the attitude he was putting on. When apparently it was made clear he wasn't going to touch me tonight.so If he can't sleep or couldn't sleep, at least I can.
When we got to the space, there was a bed. Law of attraction. I was really attracted to the bed notwithstanding Alastair’s presence. i jumped into it.
I fell to the large bed instantly, grabbing as many pillows as I could.
“Aww, so soft and banging like my fat ass.” I dozed off on those words
******************************************************************************
On hearing the door being opened, as slamming footage fellows’ suit, I refused to open my eyes. It was my first morning in a stranger’s mansion. Someone who has refused to tell me anything about himself and denied me intimacy is a total stranger.
“Good morning Miss Latifa,” a voice greeted.
I opened my eyes and it was Alastair, sipping from the mug that he carried as he continued “You sleep quite soft, like a baby” pulling the bed cover off my body, revealing my nightwear which was halfway from revealing my hip. My breasts were exposed already. Without hesitation I took the duvet back, resting it on my chest as I made the rest of it cover my nakedness. Why would he do that?
I could bet he slept thinking because he had sack bags surrounding his eye.
“Good morning, sir_ Alastair I mean,” I whimpered, stretching out my hands up to the invisible air as I yawned like I hadn’t been up all along.
“Dress up and be down for breakfast, don't be late Latifa,” he said with his deep voice, his dark eyes roaming within mine making me shy and uncomfortable. Beholding such a face first thing in the morning may have been a deal for him but they scare me. He dashed to my bed, venting a warm short kiss on my cheek as he was about to leave.
“Hey!” I shouted, “What will I be doing today?”
“Breakfast first,” he replied coldly and left without looking twice,
“Ok” I responded in his absent
My first night in a stranger's house wasn't bad after all, mm-hmm, as I searched for my cracked phone under the pillow with which I had slept.
“Oh, bad girl, I know she's going to call me” I giggled, glancing at the unattended missed calls, three of them were from Wendy. I know what she had called for, she would start up with how her night went and before I knew what was happening, I would have spilled the whole tea to her, leaving nothing behind. My phone starts ringing again.
“Talk of the terror” I smiled behind the call “Hello, shorty” I teased Wendy over the phone, and laughed so hard on hearing her deadly laughter cracking from the background.
“Why did I ever have to know the nasty part of you, Wendy? Hope you made cool cash last night?” I replied, “This will be the talk for another day, I need to go for I'm still on duty with a stricken, zero-patient man” I conceded over the phone.
I just described Alastair who at the moment should be waiting for me in the dining room.
“Yea, he is too bossy,” I chuckled as I continued, “Authoritarian? Hmm I think so too, I need the money and you know that” I kept replying
“Hell no, hahaha, he’s not my type, trust me... just a client, Wendy, I need to go” I lied as I hurried the call.
Alastair zoomed in like a thief and my heart drifted away. I ended the awful call, feeling guilty but not too much. But who knows how much he heard about the call with Wendy. Damnit!
Am not your type I assume” he mumbled, standing by the doorpost as he observed the scene but he began again. “I have been waiting, Latifa” he lamented, as he stretched out his right hand to me “Let’s go for breakfast”
Wow, how dare he act cool even after hearing that, omg. I took his hands and followed as he led us to the dining room.
“Sit close to me Latifa”
And if I say no?” I argued,
“Is that what you want, miss?” he replied softly.
That’s not what I want.
The corner of his lips brightened up in a smart smile even Tho I was becoming unnecessarily stubborn but yet he kept the smile that turned me on and on.
“Alastair,” I moaned, as this very urge crushed my emotions, the sensation in my belly increased leaving me with no option, I moved closer to him staring down at my plate and the plentiful amount of breakfast served on the wide table. I picked up my fork and knife and began slicing and feeding as my hands trembled.
Oh, holy cow. What am I setting myself into?
“Eat up,” he ordered gently,
I couldn't respond to that because I had a lot of food in my mouth but I could count how many times I had a piece of food from my spoon straight to my mouth. Sorry, I was only being food-minded.
RANDY POVI gently walked into the dark room with my head up. The dim light flickers from the bulbs hanging by frayed wires casting a harsh shadow on my leather suit, yet on the white blood-stained peeling walls. The room ventilation sucks. The air oozing out from the space is thick with bad smells, sweat, smoke, and blood. I stood finally, gazing around and finally meeting the victims, they were tied to an iron chair, they looked sick, weak, and unable to breathe well.I paces around, with a thick cigarette dangling from my lips, my eyes were clear like an eagle but the only difference were that I obtained mine from the smoke. It clouded my nine. My face and gaze went restless. My gaze was restless but eventually rested somewhere. The victims, who was barely stable, wince as I stood firmly in front of them."What do you do if the good man changes his mind? I ask you one more time, where is the rest of the clip?" I roar, nodding my head to more torture over the two victims. “You think
Alastair POV "Mm mm... mmm," I mumbled and I whistled at the same time as I continued cooking. "I can't believe I suck in cooking!" I despised the inability. "Then, why do I have to spend half an hour on YouTube and still, nothing!" I fumble as I slice through the onion. I was fighting to fry an egg with some coffee, but I was still not getting it right. Breakfast in bed is totally not my style. "She better not waste it" I confronted myself I cracked two eggs into a bowl and added a pinch of salt. Deep fried it, and it got burnt and salty again, I quickly disposed of it in the bin. I let out a frustrated breath and took out the pan from the fire. " I guess I will have to start again." On swinging my face to the kitchen table, I was baffled by the number of broken shells. 8 eggs? Holy lord. Moments of silence flooded my thinking, and I went mute. "Oops," Pathetically, I began the cooking again, and I promised that this would be my last attempt. And finally, it was much better th
Alastair closed the door behind him. There was noise coming from the neighborhood that seemed like a fight. He wanted to react, but I held his hands and stared deep. I was faded in his gaze. "Please, sit," I managed to murmur. With his hands cupping mine, he sat beside me and hugged me with my head resting on his chest like a newborn resting on her mother's arms. He didn't make a noise but tightened the hug as I began catching my breath. "Uhm, is… tight here," I murmured as I attempted to separate from his hold. He stood immediately and asked if there were items. Ingredients for a meal. "Potatoes? Can you cook?" "Hell no! But maybe it might come out pleasant or something," he assumed, I giggled as I watched him demonstrate how possible it was going to become. Right there, I could see a man trying his optimum best to make me smile. I felt cared for, and at the same time, I felt like a burden because shouldn't he be at the office by today? "No, no, come back…you are fast an
Alastair POV My feelings are getting complicated and messed up by the day, I can’t place my mind on anything other than LATIFA. Her body. The scars! I’m too curious to meddle in her past affairs especially now that I'm fighting not to be deeply attached to her, that is, if I haven't. My thoughts were loud in my heart but numb to anyone's hearing. I watch her lay unconsciously on the medic bed peacefully, and the nurses carrying out their job. Supposedly I met my fingers supporting hers, tempted to kiss them but I let it be. On her right upper arm was a wound I believe she must have been scratching always. It's still fresh and needs some dressing. I let the nurse pay attention to the wonder site. After a while, I left to get us a meal. LATIFA POV The week rushed to a close, and before I knew it, it was the last day of the week, Saturday. I ended up spending minutes, hours, and days in the hospital receiving treatment that reminded me of my lifetime trauma, all because of bruis
As early as 5:00 a.m., I got a call from an official number but was too tired to pick up my phone. After a while, I did, and it was from whom I expected. His call came in again… Alastair: Today is supposed to be the doctor's appointment, Me: Seriously? _I forgot, give few minutes to freshen up. Alastair: I'll be at your place in the next hour. Please be ready. Did you forget about tomorrow's dinner as well? Me: No, I didn't forget the meal part. I was going to make it. Alastair: okay, beautiful. I'm close, see you soon. I toss the phone on my shitty bed and proceed to the bathroom, I unzipped and laid down every bit of clothes that I was on onto the floor and I dash into the tube. I squeezed toothpaste into my brush and had it scrub my teeth, I scrubbed and washed, rinsed, and dried every crucial area my mind asked me to, in case the doctor had to carry out private consultations. I was prepared for this shit. On getting to the reflector, I raised my leg and had it placed on
Latifa’s POV"Seat belt_" a hard voice commanded "Don't talk to her like that" Alastair shunned his driver's decree over me as he made his way. Fixing up the belt himself. Sexy. I laid back and watched as this man who had been smiling at me switched up. He raised his face to mine and I felt his breath with his clear eyes and then back to the driver. "You are fired!" Alastiar declared and positioned back to me, If anything was holding the tension between his lips from touching my lips, I would put the blame on the wind and space between. They were probably envious of the moment. But did he just sack the guy? Holy fuck! Now, I'm caught between pleading for his kiss or the poor guy's redemption. I cleared my throat as well as the second thought. It wasn't the best time to ask for a favor.I missed those lips on mine. Damn! He smelled so well; I peeked through the dark flour of the car and the gleaming sparkles reflected. It was his shoe. Nice brand anyway. Raising my gaze to meet h
