A Call From Alex's Neighbor

Loveth POV

It was early in the morning, I was about to put my feet on the floor as I woke up when my phone rang. It has been a legal battle to free myself from Alex's accusations. The surface of my phone was facing down. I turned the phone and behold, it was my former neighbor at Alex's house. What does she want from me? I deliberately did not pick up her call. The phone rang and stopped. I left the room to go to the bathroom and spent some minutes. Coming back again, the same number kept calling. I went to the phone and reluctantly, I picked up the call.

"Hi Ella, good morning." My voice was heavy.

"Loveth, have you heard?" She spoke with some kind of enthusiasm.

"Heard what?"

"The person who took your place had run away. That maid."

"Wait…wait a minute," Loveth stood up and started laughing. "Are you serious?"

"Dead serious. I heard Alex combing the entire place looking for her. He even came to me, asking if she was hiding in my apartment. I kept wondering what he had done to her. She couldn't tolerate it. You have been suffering all this while."

"Yes... Ella, thank you so much. This is the best news I have ever heard this year. In fact, you made my day even if it's just starting. Wow,"

"I have to go. We will talk later."

"You are always welcome."

She hung the call.

I didn't know Ella was this caring. From a distance, she watches Alex and me. This calls for celebration. I need to open a bottle of champagne for this. The house of Alex rightly belongs to me. I have not carried out my plans, that stupid maid has run away. Probably my instincts drove her away.

I went to the bar in the sitting room and opened a bottle of champagne. It has been a long time since I have opened my day with drinking. That news is worth calling my friends and drinking together. Let me call my friend Sophia and break the exciting news with her. I took my phone and dialed her number. The number started ringing.

"Please pick up your call…" I stamped my feet on the floor.

"Hi Sophia!"

"Loveth, good morning. How's your night?"

"Cool! Guess what?"

"The case is over?"

"No… This has nothing to do with my case. It's about the so-called maid who took my place."

"So tell me, what happened?"

"She took her heels. Nowhere to be found."

"That's nice to hear. This is your time to reconcile with Alex."

"Yes. But I'm thinking about how I will go about it."

"Okay! Give me some minutes and let me think about what you will do. I will give you a call right now."

"That's my love, or can you come to my house later today? Please, this is an opportunity to go back. Once I'm in Alex's hands, he will tell his lawyer to wipe off the case."

"That's true," Sophia replied.

"Though, my most concern is getting into that house again and winning my only Alex to myself."

"Beautiful. See you later."

The call ended and I took a mouth full of wine and drank it at once.

Sophia has been a nice friend. It's been almost three years since we have known each other. I know she will come up with a plan that will favor me. Although, she is also looking for a man.

Four hours later, I was in the kitchen when I heard the doorbell. I left what I was cooking and rushed to the door. On getting there, I met my dear Sophia and hugged her.

"Please come in."

I heard her hand and led her into the kitchen and continued what I was cooking to avoid burning my chickens.

"Welcome my bestie. This is the food for a mini celebration party. Once everything is right with Alex, I will shut down this town." I was so excited. Sophia smiled at me and watched me as I carefully removed the meat from the fire.

"I have a plan," Sophia said.

"What's your plan?" I rested my back against the kitchen cabinets and folded my hands on my blue apron.

"It's a tricky plan but if you can achieve it, it will benefit you."

"Please tell me, you have my ears," I quickly replied.

"You know your boyfriend loves to drink so much… I hope you will not screw me for that." She looked at me.

"You are right."

"Why not use alcohol to gain your way back into his life?"

"How?" I asked.

"It's simple. I know Alex does not want to set his eyes on you, but we can trick him."

"How?" I adjusted my legs and was looking at her.

"See how the plan going. Since that maid ran away, I don't think Alex had slept with any lady for now. His sex urge must have increased. Both of us will go to his house. I will be the first to enter the house while you stay behind. I will drug his wine and when I have led him to bed, I will call you to take my place. The next morning, he wakes up with you after having sex with you. There you can amend your relationship."

The idea was overwhelming that I clapped my hands. It was a genius idea.

"Where did you curve that idea from?"

"Also," she interrupted. "You can make sure you had sex with him early in the morning. During sex, beg for his forgiveness. He will submit to you."

"Sophia? What an idea! This is cooler." I walked to her and embraced her.

We ate and drank and when it was time to go, we took her bath in a separate bathroom. Sophia has big boobs and she wore a red gown that exposed the top of her waggling breasts. When I saw her seductive boobs, I began to think otherwise. I became afraid that Alex falls in love with her. But I didn't tell her. Her plan was perfect, but I was afraid that she might win Alex's heart.

"Sophia is my dear friend. She can't betray me," I used these words to calm myself, but when I remember that she too was also looking for a boyfriend, I became perplexed.

"Sophia, do you think this idea will come out well?" I asked.

"It will."

Deep down in me, I gradually fear the opposite of our plans.

"Don't be afraid. Alex will fall for you."

I wish she could read my mind. I wish she could leave her big boobs at home. I hope these tactics do not backfire. I said to myself. I became more worried when I saw great excitement in her eyes.

We left home some minutes past 7 in the evening, hoping to get to Alex's house the next hour later. This was our plan. Sophia will knock on Alex's door and in haste started crying that some men kidnapped her and she managed to escape from their hands. She will use that tactic to enter Alex's house.

It was fifty minute drive and the day was perfectly dark. I was the one driving and we stopped yards away from Alex's house. Sophia came down from the car and walked toward Alex's house.

As soon as she came out of the car and gave me a sexy smile, I became more worried and drove back. Sophia thought I had gone, but I got out of the car and followed her from a distance. I increased my pace and caught up with her. Sophia didn't take notice of me following her. As she got close, to my surprise, she pulled off the gown she was wearing and she had a very short skirt and a tight-fitting white top. What's she trying to do? I asked myself. I better stop him.

"Sophia!" I called.

She was shocked. She never expected it or thought I was following her.

"Are you coming with me? You changed the plan?" She asked.

"Yes. I changed my mind. I just remembered that Alex had seen you before. Moreover, why did you pull off your gown?"

"I thought I wasn't attractive enough. You need to win this battle. Even if Alex had seen me before, does it matter?"

"It matters. I feel it will not work. Let's go together. Whatever the outcome, we will see what we can do."

She shrugged with some level of disappointment. I didn't know what was in her mind, but I feel the table might go the wrong way.

When we got to the door, I was the one who knocked. My heart was beating. We waited but there was no sign of someone coming to open the door. This time, Sophia knocked on the door harder. We waited and waited, but no one came out.

"He must have gone to the clubhouse now that no one is at home with him," Sophia suggested.

"You might be right."

I left the doorpost first before Sophia followed me. We went away as friends and entered the car. As I was about to start the car, Sophia's phone started ringing. She brought it out and out of curiosity, I looked at the screen of the phone. It was Alex's phone number that was on the screen of her phone.

"How did you get my fiance's phone number?"

"I don't know. Is this his number? You can see for yourself I didn't save the number. How did he get my number?" She acted innocently. The phone rang and stopped. She wanted to turn off the phone when the phone rang again. I collected the phone and pressed the green bottom.

"You better tell your friend to come and carry her nude picture at my doorpost. Birds of the same feathers." He ended the call.

"What have you just done Sophia? So you dropped your nude picture with your phone number in front of my fiance's door? What's your plan?" I came out of the car and felt frustrated by the secret plan of someone I thought was helping me. My instincts were right.

"Come out of my car."

She came down. I entered and started the car. I wanted to drive away when she asked,

"Are you leaving me here, it was a mistake." She shouted. I immediately stopped, I thought she might go and meet Alex. I turned the car and drove to Alex's house and I saw the picture at the door. I picked it up and squeezed the picture after a glance. Sophia was stark naked. I revised my car and drove to where she was standing.

"Get inside the car," I shouted.

"It was a mistake," she said again. I never said a word again. I needed to carry her far away from Alex. And to her greatest surprise, I drove to her house and throughout the trip, I never said a word to her despite her pleading.

"Get out of the car."

"It was a mistake." She begged and was not willing to come down.

"Get out of my car," I roared and opened my eyes at her.
