Chapter 9

Olivia woke up after a sound sleep, with a little yawn she exhailed and turned to the left side where she had left her wrist watch, a gift from her ex who though was very rich and a giver, was also a womanizer to the core. He has no respect for Olivia as he wouldn't mind her presence when he has interest for another woman. How unlucky she has been when it comes to men makes her sick. She remembered Tom an ex too, telling her he travelled, only to find out it was all because of a lady that visited and all was lies. She wouldn't allow these experiences give her a bad feeling after a nice sleep. She got up from the bed, took her toothbrush and toothpaste, off to the bathroom.

A look at the mirror made her stop again. She is still beautiful and elegant, even without a makeup. Her face is void of wrinkles and her complexion is superb. Another look at her breast gave her more confidence, some of her mates are going for breast upliftment, while some are going for enlargement. Here she is with a round sweet and succulent boobs. Could that be what drives men crazy about her, she thought but shrugged it off, she turned to her side to have a view of her butt and got impressed at what she saw. She had encountered men compliment on her backside a lot of times. Once she got so shy she swore not to wear a mini again, even though she has started again. That day, she had gone to the supermarket to buy groceries, the security guy at the gate looked at her and whistled while making a gesture with his hands to his colleague on how big her butt is. As if that wasn't enough, she saw the other colleagues holding his bulged flap of his trouser. All these aren't het fault, her family has that in their gene. Right from the childhood days, boys in the neighborhood has always flocked around her like flies. She rubbed her hand on her flat tummy and suddenly she had a phoney feeling, she looked at her backside again, she wasnt putting anything under the nightie, what if Mike walks in here, she imagined while caressing her thighs. That would be a wonderful experience. She imagined spreading her legs so wide to be filled with his muscular body. She felt like masturbating at the thought of this, she put her finger in her mouth and licked, just as she brought it close to the middle of her lap, and being so much engrossed with her thoughts and feelings, her phone rang. 

Oh! She exclaimed, bad timing.

She rushed out and picked, a male voice was at the other end;

Hi, am I unto Olivia?

Olivia on the line speaking, who is this?

My name is chase, I am using a different number, please when do we meet, to give you information on our deal?

Oh! That will be 6pm.  At Garden park, pool side.

Deal stated Chase in acceptance.

She hung up and went back to the bathroom, but this time the feeling has gone. She brushed her mouth quickly and got into the bathtub

She turned the hot water and allowed it sooth her body before taking her bath. Although it was a quick one, but she enjoyed it. She had just come out when a little sound came from the tapping on the door, it was followed by a voice, Pat came to find out what her schedule for the day looks like, but as soon as the door opened, she was amazed at the sight she saw. Her friend Olivia is a sight to behold even as a lady. She remebered once in the hostel when they where honey and almost had a quick one if not for the interference of a student. Each time she looks at Olivia, it reminds her of it. Olivia understood the look and smiled, 

Hi Pat, 

Hi Olivia she replied, how has your morning been? 

Good except some feelings, you know I am not getting younger and I need my own man.

That's true you know, I was going to bring up that, how about Brains? She queried.

Olivia could not give any answer, after all she is yet to get information on His whereabout. 

I can't say for sure, he doesn't seem serious you know. I am beginning tthink I should look out for another man. What do you think?

At that.moment, there was another tap at the door, Mike's voice echoed, I am off honey

Pat left Olivia's room to attend to the husband as he enters his car and drove off. The entire house is now left for the two ladies. As Pat goes back she thought of opening up to Olivia on the issues the husband and herself are having over their childlessness; is it an opportunity to ask Olivia for her help since they are best of friends and had shared a lot in common back in the day?

She opened the door just as Olivia was putting on her bra, the picture of her round hard nipples sent chills on her body, she got close to her, held he hands and said with a faint voice;

You are still as erotic as ever,

Olivia looked into her eyes and saw that lustful feeling, being whom she is and being that she had been hungry for a touch, she grabbed her in her arms and planted a slight kiss on her lips, Pat responded and their tongues searched for each other as their hands fondle each other body. The inhaling and exhaling sounds enveloped the room as they tore each other clothes. Immediately, Olivia pushed her down on the bed and grabbed her boobs in her mouth, with that Pat could not hold herself and she made a faint shout of horny feeling. They were tearing themselves like hungry leopard when Pat's phone rang, that made them pause;

Go ahead pick your call dear I will wait, said Olivia

Ok, responded Pat, she immediately picked her phone and answered.

I will be there tomorrow, said Pat on the phone and she hung up.

Brains got his business class ticket for 11pm flight, he was happy cos he will arrive in the morning which will give him all the time he needed to make arrangement for his stay. He decided to get back home and keep the car as he would be using a taxi to the airport. He thought of what to do with the remaining time before his flight, as he stepped out to enter his car, he decided to try Olivia's number again, the number was still unreachable. He entered his car and drove to the house. On his way at 5th street, he could spot a blue Hyundai Tucson from his rear mirror, two cars behind him. What really caught his interest is that he had driven that particular model. He slowed down for the car to pass but  noticed the car slowed too. He then decided to speed up, at a speed of 120, the Tucson sped up too. That was when he sensed he was being tailed, so he swerved to the next exit on the right at the major road and took the underground tunnel, looking at the mirror, he couldn't see the car again, he became a little relaxed, it might be a wrong miscalculation he thought to himself. He got home fast, packed his car, took a shower and packed what he need for the trip. He checked his time and it was 5:30pm, there is a lot of time to do a catching up before travelling, so he decided to make a reservation at The Sheraton for 6 hours. He got through with that and booked a taxi to the hotel.

Chase sensed that swerve by Brains shows he has been spotted, so he took the flyover at the left side near the tunnel. He then drove straight to the street close to Brains house. He took a short cut to Brains house and his himself near the flowers where he could with a binocular lens see him from the windows packing. He is sure Brains is travelling. He waited until the taxi pulled up at the gate and Brains went in to get his stuff, Chase rushed back to his car, and waited until the taxi passed, he then followed, this time at an unoticed distance, until the car entered the Sheraton. At this point he called Olivia to ascertain if their appointment is still holding, having confirmed, he began his drive to Garden park.

At exactly 5:49pm, Olivia was seated with a cup of Heineken and a  bottle half gone, it is her favourite drink moreover when she is in the mood for such business. She checked her wrist watch to confirm the time, in the next few minutes, Chase will be here. She beckoned at the waiter to bring her a pack of Rothmans Cigarette, picked a stick and lit it. She hasn't gone half way when a young man in mid 30's approached her table, he sat down uninvited and demanded a stick of cigarette. Olivia offered and demanded she light it up while holding it in his mouth. All these while his right hand has been in his pocket. He drew a deep one from the stick and blew the heavy smoke on Olivia face. 

What the hell are you doing, questioned Olivia.

Shut up and listen retorted the man, he drew a pistol and pointed at her from under the seat.

Olivia started to shiver and stutter ehm! Why!...

Stand up and move, the man shouted at her we are leaving...

Chase was already at the door watching, though he did not see the gun, he could sense that something is wrong because of Olivia's face, could this be a relationship issue? He thought to himself, he speedily hid himself behind a fat man standing near the counter, to avoid being seen by Olivia. He watched as Olivia stood up, took her handbag and moved out from the table, he could see the man clearly now, he is tall about 5.8ft, dark in complexion, look muscular, perhaps he would have been working on himself building his muscles for years, cos his kind of build up is not something of yesterday. One other thing he noticed is the man's brutal face, he looks like a thug, a hitman, a killer. What will Olivia be doing with this kind of man? If not for the fact that he isn't the one she paid him to watch, he would have sensed a set up. A lot of things were going on in his mind while he watched, suddenly, he saw the man's hand, he could see the dark end of something that looks like a butt of a revolver. He had to change his position without being noticed. He sensed trouble, Olivia was becoming stubborn perhaps she is being forced to move. He has to do something to free her. He then moved out from the door and met with the security man at the get, he described the man and the woman and told.him to be on guard

 He then took the back door, as he entered the back office, he heard a gun shot and people shouting and what sounds like scampering for safety. He pulled out his Jameson automatic revolver. His kind of work demands he always carry it as duty might call anytime

Should he call for back up? He thought to himself, he shrugged that off after all this is not his first time and from the way the man is hoding the gun, he look amature. He took a position that gave him a good and excellent view of the man, aimed his gun at his right elbow, he could get a clear shot but who knows, there may be another person he thought. He had to make sure before risking Olivia's life. Just as he was contemplating his next move, he heard a painful shout and looking up, he saw man bending down holding his crotch and Olivia running towards him. He took a dive and caught her both of them hitting the flow as a bullet passes with a speed of light and shattered the tampered glass used to cover a wine shelf. At that point, Chase shot at the guy, hitting his left upper arm, the man shot in the air and ran out of the building. Before Chase could come out, the man had jumped the fence and escaped. 

Olivia lay on the floor at the back of the garden, shivering with fear. Who did she offend, what in God's name would make someone want to kidnap or kill her? Who did she offend? The last time she checked, she had no known enemy. What would she do now, she thought to herself. She searched her bag for her phone to call her friend or the husband for rescue. She now remembered Chase was suppose to be meeting with her. Immediately, she heard a sound of an approaching footsteps and suddenly felt a touch on her shoulder, as she opened her mouth to shout, Chase covered her mouth with his hands even as she kicked for freedom, he now whispered his name to her ears and told her to relax. She became calm and let out a sigh of relief. Chase took her out to his car. He calmed her down and brought out her phone from his pocket, handed it over to her, he picked it up on the floor where she got the man before running off. He inquired if she can go or wouldn't mind he drive her home. Olivia's no choice than to accept he drive her home, but she has to make a phone call. It was a quick one, Chase then put on the GPS and typed in the address she gave him and off they go. 

Mike was done with work and decided to chill for a bottle of drink or two, He hadn't visited Garden park for a while and this is one place he normally go alone. He has become a loner since Olivia moved into their home, all he thinks about these days is Olivia, could this be love or is he merely lusting after her. Of a truth she is a beautiful lady, but is he going to marry her. Yes he is rich and can afford it, but how would he convince the wife that her best friend should be a second wife. He thought of all the implications, positive and negative as he sipped his drink. He was sitting at the outter garden and the cool breeze was enough to make him stay alll night. He thought of the best way to handle this...
