Chapter 40

Alicia parked the car at the front of the hotel, they had moved to a new hotel after the incident at the Travellers inn, she turned off the ignition, told Chase where the security button was hidden, then they alighted from the car. She locked the doors and handed over the keys to Chase. She then left him and proceeded to her room. She knocked on the door and Brenda who was inside the room, peeped through the hole to make sure who was knocking, having confirmed Alicia's face, she turned the knob and opened the door. Alicia told her she was going on an assignment, so she would be moving over to Chase' room where she would stay until her return. She said it and watched her face but their was no sign of either excitement or disappointment. She hurriedly took her shower, changed into her official attire and left to the car park where an already booked ride was waiting to take her back to the office. Brenda was left alone, she was caught between staying and moving. She would have loved to stay and wait for him to call on her, but fear of the last incident and the effect was still having a strong hold on her. She got up from the bed, took her phone and left the room. At the door, as she opened it, she looked outside both ways before she came out and locked the door. She rushed to the next room where Chase was and knocked. 

Meanwhile, when Alicia left Brenda, she went to Chase to announce her departure, she saw the smile on his face when she suggested that Brenda moved over till she came back, she jokingly told him to take it easy on the poor girl. Chase had waited for Brenda to move over immediately, it was as if the wait was getting too long, he had contemplated calling her room intercom but before he could reach the phone, he heard a knock on the door. He peeped and saw her face, then he opened the door for her to come in, Brenda stepped in and he locked the door behind them. Brenda took a good look at Chase, unoticed. She had been with him for few days and has developed likeness for him, but it has culminated into love. All the while, she saw him in nice wears, different types and she loved how nice and footing they were on him. Here he is for the first time on boxers only, no shirt, not even a singlet on. She could see the triceps and biceps, the heaviness of his bare chest, the thickness of his arms and thighs. She got herself swallowing saliva as she was melting at his body. Her thought began to signal feelings that synchronized with what she was seeing. She felt being held in those arms, touched and stroked.while she was watching and dreaming, Chase was thinking the best possible action to attract her attention and possibly draw her close to him. He turned his face to look at her, Brenda quickly moved her eyes from him, he did not notice that, she bent her head and claimed to be engrossed with whatever she was doing on the phone. Chase used the opportunity to size her up, she was putting on a light ladies top and a skirt, it was given to her by Alicia, as she wasn't with much clothing since the night they met. Although it wasn't tight on her, he had seen her in other outfit especially the night, and he knew how beautiful her figure was. He thought for a while and decided to brave it up.

Brenda come and lay beside me, he said it in a low tone while tapping on the bed at the position he wanted her to lay.

Brenda didn't waste time as she stood up and lay down beside him. She was still pretending doing something on her phone. 

You will soon start work, and we will get you a place to stay while working, he said it watching her reaction. She suddenly lowered the phone and concentrated on him, he noticed that the statement got her attention. So he continued.

I mean you are a beautiful lady and I would love to see you become great in life, so we have spoken to some employers and they promised to calm us by month end.

Brenda smiled and thanked him, she then asked him a question that surprised him.

Can I give you a hug?

Sure no problem if that's what you want, he responded. 

He wasn't expecting such, Brenda shifted closer to him and hugged him fully with her breast on his chest, that was when he felt how big her breast were, he held her at her back, both of them fii it difficult to let go, as if one was waiting for the other to let go first. Brenda had wanted him to take it up from there, she expected him to touch and caress her, but it didn't happen. She felt bad and as she le him, she thought of what next to do, then she stood up excused herself and walked to the bathroom. She stayed a little thinking of her next move, she really wanted Chase, she hadn't slept with a man since that night Tim came on the scene, being her kind of business, it was rare for her to stay without a man and her body yearns for it. She pulled off her skirt, removed her blouse, and looked herself in the mirror, she told her image in the video that it was time to boldly step out and possess Chase. She boldly came out of the bathroom on her bra and pants, looked at Chase who was occupied with his phone, as he hadn't seen her, she quietly doped her clothes on the chair beside the bed and moved to his front view where her step had caught his attention and what he saw made his jaw drop on the floor. There she stood elegantly and seductive, he looked at her features, the boobs was bulging out of the bra as if it was yearning for him to grab them, his contenance changed, blood was running at a high speed in his veins, his manhood was already nodding like the agama lizard. He licked his tongue and swallowed saliva. Brenda beckoned on him with her index finger to come get her.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Brains was filled with a lot of thought as he walked down the pathways of the hospital, it was part of his healing therapy. He was to take a slow walk to a particular distance everyday. That day the nurse was not available to accompany him, hence his walking alone. He was thinking of Mira ( his Olivia) he felt he was too fast on presenting the ring but on the other hand, he wouldn't be waiting for ever to do the needful, he told himself. He was the one who needed her and whatever he had to do to have her, wouldn't be seen as a wrong move. She was supposed to be happy and excited, they had discussed a little of this in the past, and agreed upon it, so why was she behaving in such a manner. He thought of the stomach upset, and concluded it might not really be that she was surprised, rather the upset should be blamed. What a bad timing he thought, out of all the time the stomach would get upset, it was at a would-be happy moment of his life. He would wait for her to get strong and find, if not create a more serene atmosphere for it. He recalled their first kiss, it was passionate and their sex experience was something else, but her attitude, he realized had changed, always hugging, kissing and close marking Olivia he knew was becoming strange. He would give it time, something must have happened, either their was another man or his absence for sometime would be the factor. He walked to the target set and rested a while before heading back to his ward, he was seeing the hospital environment for the first time since he was moved in, the therapy was helpful, as he used the opportunity to see feed his eyes with nature while enjoying the natural air. He turned and walked back to the room.

Pat arrived the hotel and once she knocked, Nelly knew she was the one, she opened the door and let her in. She was smoking when she arrives and she offered her one to join her. Pat took one and lit it and both of them filled the room with scent of cigarette smoke. Pat asked Nelly why she didn't notify her before coming as she was taken unaware, Nelly responded that she had wanted to surprise her, eventhough it was also a way to know if she had a skeleton in her cupboard. The both ladies smiled. Nelly wanted to know how far Pat had gone in severing her relationship with Mike, Pat was more careful this time as she was already suspicious of her moves, she told her it was on progress and that soon there would be good news. Nelly figured out that if she pushed further she might become suspicious, she nodded and encouraged her to keep it up. She said so in accordance with the response she got from the people she was working for, she had given them feedback on how far she has gone in the deal, and the studied it, after a while, they reached her to let her know that she was being monitored a should slow down her pressure. She sensed that it must have been due to the threat on Olivia, she knew it was a mistake threatening her, she felt bad after she had take that chance. That one wrong move was becoming a spanner in the wheels of her plan. She told herself that she would be patient enough to allow Pat clear up whatsoever is pending with her husband so as to avoid more suspision. With that in mind, she would wait till after a sex rump with Pat before she hands her over a contract she brought for her. Money and Sex were two things that Pat doesn't joke with, a good sex at that, her libido was at a high level and her thirst for good things makes her quest for money hight too. Infact she can do anything for money as well as good sex. Nelly had noticed that and took advantage of it. The contract were way to come by as it came from the same people at the top position of government and they were they same people she worked for.

Mike woke up first after a long sleep, he felt a little better, the thoughts of Pat and himself had left him, he was more of Olivia now. He

 turned and saw her lay down facing upward position, she wasn't sleeping as her eyes was open, she was looking very charming, he couldn't hold what was in his mind back, he turned to her and cuddled her very closely, he then planted a kiss on her forehead;

I don't feel like going home, he said

Why? She asked

You are home to me now, he responded. Wherever you are is home to me he added. 

Olivia could feel and see from the tone of his voice and from his facial expression, that he was dead serious. She knew she was getting him deeply committed than before, and she wanted more, even though she was madlybin love with him, more in love than him, but she had to cross all 'Ts' and dot all 'Is' to avoid stories that touches the heart, somewhere along the line. She smile at his words.

Ok, so we are going to be living in the hotel all our life? She asked

If that is what it takes, he responded

She gave him a pat on his arm and asked him to stop saying such. She then reminded him that he had a wife and she would be expecting his return. He should also know that the plan was to spend a night or two only, they were to keep it on the low until they had figured out the right plan to address the issues. Mike understood her and because he loved her, he accepted all she said. They decided to spend that day at the hotel and leave the next day. Olivia was very happy that things were working out the way she preferred it, Mike was getting more loving 

Tim was more pained as to how he fell into the trap and got himself in the mess he was in, than the beating he got. He had lost two of his men, he remembered they adviced him against going after the young lady, his stubbornness couldn't allow him see reasons with them. He would have listened to them, at least they would have still been alive, and he would have still been a free man. He thought of his Boss, does it mean he had abandoned him too, he asked himself, he knew he had the contacts and connections to get him out of the dungeon, but what was still keeping him made him more confused. Ordinarily, a security personnel would have walked in and told him that he would soon be out. He had expected that each time he heard footsteps of security personnel walk towards the cell, but he was disappointed as they walked pass by. He felt like slapping himself, as he hated himself for allowing his appetite for women undo him. He looked at his body, a lot of injury and marks from the beating he received from the interrogation, not that it was over as he wasn't ready to talk until he saw a lawyer. What he was yet to discover was that the people he was dealing with this time, were not ready to negotiate nor were they ready for any case. All they needed was names. The lady that interrogated him had repeatedly asked him to let go of the name and save himself the aguish he was passing through. She also mentioned to him Ashe could recall that the people he was eager to save do not care about him, they would even pay money to see him dead if they figure out he was he there because they knew how ruthless interrogation could be in the place. Even though all those word sounded to him what he was used to, he could also tell that there was something different. He had thought about it many times, he was not the kind of man that gives up easily, nor was he the kind that gives up his friends, but here he was deserted by all, with the pains of his closest pals gunned down in cold blood.
