Chapter 45

... We sat and he continued inquiring about how and when my parents died.

I told him all that happened. I noticed he was sobbing as if he even knew the people that died. He kept surprising me. From forming "Strong Man" while combating Sam and even when coaching us. Now he's just crying like a baby.

It's okay Dave. I'll get through this

"I know we'll get through it but how sure am I that you'll be this lucky tomorrow?"

This is not his first attempt and I've been escaping from his snares. I believe I'll continue to escape. My concern is how to put an end to everything. I must find a way to do that by all means. I need to report to my family lawyer...

Yeah, we'll put an end to it but you need not let your lawyer know yet. I think I can do something about it...

How? He's a trained police officer. Both in experience and in another way around, he'll win you.

Yeah, he's trained but he's not the only trained police officer. Others can follow him up... He continued talking with assurance

That reminds Dave, you never told me you're a criminal. How did you get a gun? I questioned him with seriousness written all over me.

Babe, it's not what you think. My job as a Judo coach exposed me to certain dangers. And I had to protect myself that's how I got a gun from a police officer. It's licensed and I'm not abusing it.

That's not a reason to carry a gun along. Someone can arraign you just because you're carrying a gun and you may likely be arrested and prosecuted for that.

No one is doing that. I've not garnered such enemies yet. Besides, I've learned some skills that can help me meander through such snares.

Trust not your skills. Authority can suppress your skills at any time. And I'm suspecting that you used that gun for something else. If not, what's the exact reason why you took it to the party hall? What do you do for a living?.... I questioned him since I needed to know more about him

Jessy, I'm sorry you came to know me in the wrong way. Please don't judge me for what happened tonight. I'm a graphic designer. And I don't bring out the gun anyhow. I don't use it for anything else except self-defense... He continued defending himself with a pleading voice

It's okay Dave. But that doesn't mean that I feel comfortable staying around you anymore. Having a gun is not legalized for civilians in this country but you have it. And even have friends that have and use it. Don't make me believe that you're a criminal.

No no no!!! I'm not a criminal babe. Please don't say that... He couldn't wait for me to conclude the accusation before he intruded. He drew me closer to himself and hugged me. He tried all he could to convince me, truly he did convince me. Because I have no doubt he's not a criminal. He answered all my questions beyond doubt.

One thing lead to another before I could know what was happening we were already chitchatting as if we knew ourselves for ages. I was ashamed to pull my clothes to freshen up since I had no extra clothes but I still had to freshen up since I wore makeup while going to the party. Just as if he knew what was bothering me, He went to his wardrobe and brought out a new towel.

... Babe, go and freshen up. Use this towel. I'll be in the sitting room waiting for you when you're done, let me know.

Wow!!! Dave, thanks a lot. You're such a darling.

You're welcome. I just noticed that you're the shy type... He couldn't wait for me to enjoy the moment before he made his disgusting statement

Just now that I'm thanking you, you want to ruin the whole thing. It's okay... I feigned being pompous. Besides this's the place I have the right to do so.

You want to start again. Please go and freshen up it's already late. Let's catch some sleep before it's dawn...

He just finished his words and left me in the room. I hastened up the process since I chased someone out of his room.

His bathroom is just well arranged. Everywhere was well kept. He's not the type that scatters everywhere.

".... Wow!! Even if I'm to continue with this guy, I think we'll be quarreling from time to time because, if the house is always in this way, hmm, There's a problem. He's just very neat and meeting up with his standard will be hard for me" I whispered to myself.

I closed the bathroom door and had my bath.

I got surprised to see his table filled up with cosmetics. Surprisingly, I whispered to myself

....Wow!! I'm beginning to suspect that this guy is a womanizer. For a guy to have a cosmetics kit as Dave has on his table is quite alarming. How on earth can I confirm my suspicions? He even has white talcum powder on his table... what a man? Since he exited to a room for me, I relaxed and robbed his cream.

I got confused about what to put on. Would I still wear the same cloth I wore to the party? It won't allow me to sleep well. I was left with no other option than to wear Dave's cloth. Though I never tried such I have to. From his wardrobe, I brought out a long polo shirt and one of his shorts and wore them.
