Chapter 105: Making moves!

Making moves!

Day 20!

10:28pm,

I visited the strip club on a Saturday evening since i had  reasons to frequent it. I could not get it together with Lorraine, my decision was like letting a heavy downpour of larva on my head, i was worn out. She was caring, loving, attentive, hard working, beautiful and sexy but i began to feel irritated. It felt like I was transferring the supposed affection to a different thing or person. I came to the  strip club to get drunk and drenched on purpose, i wanted to free my mind off so many pressures, like my parent's.

 I sat at my designated spot while the seductress danced around the pole in a black lingerie and heels still masked. I was confused about her identity, it was difficult for me to recognize her outside the club. I was lonely in my terms because Lorraine would be more than ready to keep me company but i didn't want her company, I'd not ignite no sparkle like she assumes. When her call came through, i had to lie about where i was, i feigned to be at Lamar's guys party, a normal party would make her run to me so i had to be specific. I was already seeing blurry visions due to the alcohol i had taken in, in a few minutes after the dance; my eye dimmed and definitely closed in the end. 

I opened my eyes slowly lying in my bed shirtless but my pants were on, covered with the sheets. I was baffled and surprise at this miracle. I could remember drinking more than usual then the blurry vision but i couldn't remember someone or driving myself home, if i ever drove the then my parents would be standing next to me in the ward while they arrange for my arrest, that's certain. The lights in room the were red, i can't remember turning on the red bulbs as well.

Surprisingly, it was Gianna sitting next to me pressing a soaked hand towel on my head then i realized that i had accumulated a fever, how interesting and careless of me.

She massaged me softly and gently while i stared at her in disbelief. This is not possible, i screamed in my head. She ignored my gazes fucusing on her job then she stood up to leave then i held her arm pulling her towards my direction as her eyes slightly widened. I just couldn't get the message, who must have brought me home. She wasn't at the club nor did i ever see her by happenstance or coincidentally, she was dressed an ordinary pink mini flare gown and a white adidas sneakers while her hair was wrapped into a rough ponytail that had a handful of stands falling across her slender pretty face, her nose was pointed and her pink lips were flawless, her brows where dark while hair was blonde, she was captivating even if i feel too egoistic to compliment an ordinary house keeper. Gianna could never bring me home, way too impossible.

  "How do you feel, sir Jordan?" She asked in a trembling voice. I didn't know why she was trembling or timid.

I was silent. I wanted to say thank you but for what exactly, bringing me home which i dispute or massaging me to heal from a hangover, i was indecisive at the moment.

  "Do you need me to get something? I can cook something for you....I'll get you some coffee, sir!" She opted which was a better option, i don't eat late just like mother had instilled in me. I nodded positively and gently then i released her. She scurried away out of the room.  I turned to the wall clock, it was 12am, i realized that Gianna had remained because of me then i adjusted sitting upright, i groaned in pain; my body ached, it felt like i was beaten with a log. She returned with a mug on little tray. She handed it over to me.

  "This will help too." She said as she turned to leave then i called her attention.

  "Gia! How did i get here?" I asked coldly. I deserve to be told how despite my irresponsibility. Her eyes wandered around the room depicting her uncertainty, she took nearly ten seconds to answer my question. She braced up facing after clearing her throat while she stood with her hands behind.

  "Sir! I...I...I was waiting for your arrival when someone...a man from the club said he drove you home because you weren't able...i...he says he's a friend...i really dont know him!" She explained but i didn't understand her, from what i could gather; a man brought me home. My face squeezed a little then i asked again

  "Where was Zach when he bought me home?"

  "He was fast asleep! Actually i told him not to bother because....ah...." Her faced squeezed tightly like she was confused and lost for words. "Sir! I was waiting outside the house after disposing the trash bag into the can. Suddenly a man pulled over in your car, here at the house. I took it from there. I asked Zach to help me take you in then...that was it!" She stopped after a sigh.

This was better than i assumed, i comprehended. I nodded slowly in agreement. She turned to leave again then i called her, there was force controlling my emotions.

  "Gia! Where are you going to?" I asked calmly as i hopped down from the bed gently while she stood still without a motion. I stood in front of her while she closed her tightly for reasons i didn't know about, i wondered. She must be thinking that i wanted to kiss, i was tempted to anyways.

I couldn't control myself because of the way she took care of me diligently and waited through the night to see me get much better. I cupped her face to look at me directly in the eye, her eyes widened. I smiled halfway still staring at her.

  "You didn't answer my question, Gia!" My fingers ran through her face then i tucked her hair backwards, her beauty surfaced even better in the red lighted room. 

  "I...I should leave any moment from now...its only a few streets from here." She said almost stuttering

  "It's dark outside and i don't think its humane enough to let you go out all by yourself....i could drive you home if you want." I suggested speaking politely

  "Oh no Sir, i can actually find my way home! You need to go rest through the night..." She advised as she tried to squeeze out her way then i pressed her against my chest a little bit tight. She let out a helpless moan, she seemed very uncomfortable. I ignored her timidity, something about this girl got me mesmerised inwardly. 

  "It's either you let me drive you home or you sleep here for the night, here in my bed! Pick a side, Gia!" I said to her almost whispering while my fingers ran helplessly from her face to her neck. She swallowed up, i could feel her heart fidgeting like rocks clinking against each other.

  "Are you picking a side or not, young lady..." I asked in a flirty manner while she struggled to take her gaze off mine.

  "I'd stay not because i want to but because..." She tried to be fierce but i interrupted, i love to have more power over a woman despite the confidence i admired in them.

  "...You don't have to say any more stuff, hmm! I'm not asking for your suggestions, i am your master and you...you are my subject!" I clarified. She looked timid again

  "Yes sir! Im...im sorry!" She apologized. 

I smiled with my lips clenched. I grabbed her slim waist then i leaned over, her heart couldn't stop beating faster than usual, i could feel her hot breathe on my face, i used the tip of my pointed nose to rub hers; her lips had parted already then i possessed her neck with a kiss. She didn't expect that reaction at all. I did it on purpose. I smiled in mockery then i walked away to sit on the couch. She turned to leave then i stopped her

  "Where are you going to? Did you not agree to this?"

  "I wanted to get a pillow downstairs." She said

  "I have dozen on my bed."

  "And i'd like to drink some water..." She said

  "You could take a bottle from my refrigerator! You'd like it to." I countered. She was helpless and overridden. She took a pillow walking to the couch where i was sitting.

She sat next to me scarily, i ignored her. She placed the pillow to her taste then rested her head, she was already dozing off; i could tell that she was really exhausted. 

She was asleep for some minutes then i stood up to get her some clean sheets, to make her feel cozy. I took a cover from the drawer then i tried to place her feet on the couch as she opened her eyes abruptly, she must be thinking naughty. I handed her the sheets.

  "Thank you very much Sir!" She curled herself under the sheets and zoomed off, poor maid! I couldn't stop staring at her, she looked even cuter with her eyes closed. I couldn't understand what exactly was happening to me, i couldn't tell. All of a sudden, i gave her more attention than usual, i cared for her and even felt butterflies around her. She was someone i couldn't get rid off do easily, she was captivating in every way, her countenance was something i wanted all of a sudden. I laid on my bed curling up too. I didn't bother to check up on my phone. 

06:35am,

I woke up strong and sound maybe it was because of the fact that i was admiring someone already and she was right here, in my room. Too unbelievable. She was still asleep when i prepared some pancakes, egg and cheese then some tropical smoov. I headed to my room immediately then i stood staring at her again, i just couldn't believe it myself that i let someome like Gianna in my room, sleeping comfortably. Times when Lorraine suggested an unforgettable sleepover, i lied about my whereabouts as always and she'd always accept my flimsy excuses because she had no option. I shrugged. There was no harm in being kind for a few moments. I walked out after grabbing my phone. 

After some minutes, she interrupted my meal

  "Good morning, Sir Jordan!" She said rubbing her neck softly, she was shy.

  "Eat!" I instructed sternly

She sat without a word then my phone buzzed instantly, it was my mother. I suspected her to be on the way already.

  "Hi Mama!"

  "Hi baby! Are you home?" She asked

  "Oh yeah! Im home. Something's changed?" I asked

  "I'm on my way home for a big surprise. You'd be elated!" 

  "Elated?! Oh ok! I hope its not something I'd be crazy about?"

  "You'd be on the cloud! I'll be there soon. Stay calm!" She hung up. I turned to Gianna who baerly touched her good.

  "You're not eating..." I asked with frown

  "...To be honest Sir, I'm not comfortable. Its all new to me...everything...i should prepare breakfast not you, i should clean up not you...." She explained heartily

  "Shut up!" I almost yelled "I did not ask for that! Now, eat up immediately!" I instructed then i yelled again "Now!"

She was startled as she pounced on the food instantly. I was contented. She obeyed me regardless. 

The door bell rang as i headed for the door instead although Gianna almost scurried to get it but i stopped her.

  "Mom?!" I wss shocked and pissed at her swiftness "You're here!" I hugged her.

  "Yes Kareem, im here! Are you not happy to see me? You can't play rude around me, your mother!" She snuggled my nose then she walked in comfortably heading to the living room. Gianna rushed in on us.

  "Go..Good Morning, Madam!" She said in a quivering voice

  "Hmm! How did you let my son get the door before you?" Mother asked, she was intimidated. Double trouble.

  "Mom?" I called for her to drop her allegations

  "Kareem stay out of this!" Mother instructed me "Would you speak or not, lady?" Mother questioned again

  "I...I was..." Gianna stuttered in fear then i intervened

  "I asked her to do the laundry this morning, i wanted It done under my supervision that's why i had to get the door. Mama you know how i love my clothes handled." I explained then mother affirmed with a slow positive nod. 

  "Lucky enough! Someone would have lost her job on a stretch. What am i paying her for?" Mother stated. Mother was the rude one here and it was unlike her. "Excuse us please, Gianna!" Mother asked politely this time.

Gianna scurried away obediently.

Mother and i sat net to each other.

  "Mama, that was uncalled for!"

  "I had to. I hope she's not throwing herself on you anyway else I'd chop off her Mummy-girl, trust me! These girls could go extra length to make men like you fall for them! She had to be reminded about her position and that's why i have come to tell you something very very important." She grinned. I wondered what it was. I hoped for a better news.

  "What's that? I'm curious." I said grinning too.

  "Always curious!" She chuckled then continued "Your wedding preparations has just begun which makes me so proud of you, Kareem. This is one of the proudest thing I've gotten from you. Soon you'd become a father and then your father and i would become grandparents...i missed the giggles of a child....i remembered your giggles, Jamal and i would always smile at it and sometimes buy toys for your charmth...." Mother fantasied as i interrupted

  "Mama! Mama just stop. Please. Who's getting married? I didn't tell you about it. Why are arranging for something sensitive without my consent?" I scolded

  "You are a busy man, Kareem. Someone has to do them for you, understand!" She said calmly holding into my hand then i refrained annoyingly

  "Oh just stop all the bluff mother..." I blurted out "Why are you trying to ruin my life this way, Mama? I respect you because you're my mother but i won't accept this nonsense from you or anyone. Y'all know that! Y'all can't fool me. I'd get married too whoever i want at my own pace." I scolded

She slapped me on both cheek, i was used to her smite anyways. 

  "Don't talk to me that way, Kareem! Every time we try to put you in place, you end up straying away. You become a whole new person that sometimes I've got to look at you twice. That's not fair! This is the only thing I've asked of you, isn't it?" She stopped, asking.

  "Mama, i didn't mean to hurt your emotions but i really don't care 'coz i already feel hurt at this. Who even told you that i was getting married to Lorraine? I ain't even love her..." I said then i rephrased to erase any presumptions "...like i should. I've got to think about this." I stopped

  "No Kareem, there's nothing to think of 'coz i made several calls already. Preparations have started and you can't disgrace our reputation only because you want to satisfy your sexual desires!" She blurted yelling. I was shocked at this statement, she didn't have to be too direct and she was overstating.

  "...Sexual desires? Mama you're unbelievable..." I said trying to keep my cool

  "Of course! I wouldn't say something like that if i had no reason to. You think i don't know about the strip club you've been frequenting lately? You were drenched last night! All thanks to just whoever that brought you home. Is that the type of life you projected for yourself? Kareem? You plan on disgracing not just us but yourself as a drunk huh?" Mother cautioned. I was speechless, she was right. I didn't know someone had been spying on me lately, how foolish I've been. I didn't even think about that, not for once

  "Mama...I'm..." I tried to apologize then she blurted

  "That's more reasons why i shouldn't let you exceed a minute. You'll be getting married in two weeks and there's nothing you can do to stop it." She walked out as i tried to talk to het but she ignored.
