JOHN WILLIAMS

Neo knocked on the door thrice then asked. "May I come in?" There was no response. "It's Neo, may I come in?" He asked again but there was still no reply. "Okay, I'm coming in." He opened the door and walked in.

"Lock that door." Mirabella said softly and he obeyed.

"John insisted I kept a close watch on you." He moved closer to her.

"If you are here on John's orders, then you should stay outside, not in my room." Mirabella was staring at her lifeless self in the mirror as she sat at the edge of the bed.

"I thought he said you were a bit better, you look so helpless."

"I will take that as a compliment."

"Have you had your medications?" Neo sat side by side with her, joining her in staring at herself through the mirror.

"I'm tired of those pills, I think they are gradually killing me."

"The medications are meant to make you feel better."

"Maybe, maybe not." Mirabella sighed heavily. "Maybe I shouldn't have lived like this from the beginning."

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe I shouldn't have thrown myself at him and had John, maybe I should have just accepted my fate as a helpless orphan and maid then." She started sobbing.

"Mirabella don't be like this, you are not wrong for trying to get something that you really desire, you did all you could to elevate yourself, you fought poverty and didn't want to die poor."

"Then why is all of this happening?" She turned her head and looked at him. "I have never been happy ever since I made that decision, I traded my happiness for riches."

Neo embraced her tightly. "You rewrote history honey, please don't feel bad, I can make you happy."

She released herself from the embrace and looked at him. "Make me happy? How? Through sex?"

"But at least the sex has made you feel relieved." He held her neck and pressed his lips on it, slowly, he inhaled the strong and seductive smell of her lotion and oxygen. "Mirabella." He whispered.

"Yes." She moaned.

"What do you think? Should I turn off the lights?" He reached out for the remote near him and pressed the button on it, turning of the lights. "All along today, I could only hear your moan in my head. He slowly moved his lips to her chest then grabbed the two heaps of rosy flesh on her chest. "Allow me please."

"Where is John?" Mirabella couldn't possibly find any means to hide her urge anymore.

"John has left with Lydia, Diva is asleep and I checked Anne too, she is asleep." Neo ran his fingers through her body.

"We can't keep doing this here." Mirabella kissed him loudly.

"How expensive is this dress?"

"Very expensive."

"That's better." Neo got a grip of the dress and ripped it apart. "Heavens!" He exclaimed when he saw that she wasn't wearing anything underneath. "You came to work like this?"

"No, I just took my underwear off some minutes before eating." Mirabella giggled.

Neo grabbed one of the melons on her chest and gently, put it in his mouth, he rolled around it with his tongue and watched his lover closely, as she closed her eyes and moaned.

***********

John walked into spotlight with his hands in his pockets, he was probably the only man in tuxedos that night at spotlight. He looked round the noisy bar, how ladies walked either half or fully naked to advertise their bodies to the men hanging around.

He was kind of happy that no one was having a public sex like what happened the last time he was there.

"Hi handsome." A young lady, half naked whispered as she rubbed her palm on his chest. "Would you mind having me for the night?"

"I want to see your boss, where is she?" He asked looking around the bar.

"Well, I'm sorry to break it to you but my boss doesn't attend to customers." The lady moved her palm to his tummy.

"Tell me where she is, I came here because of her not any of you."

The lady frowned and hissed. "You should have just told me you don't have any money with you." She folded here arms. "She is right behind you, go talk to her."

John looked back and saw Monica standing slightly above him, she folded her arms and seemed to be supervising everything going on from where she stood.

"Haven't I warned you not to ever come here again?" Monica asked as John started approaching her.

"How did you know I was the one?" He stood side by side with her, his hands were still in his pockets.

"Julie isn't here, go back!" Monica said sternly.

"I'm not even here to see her, I came here for you."

Monica turned her head gently and looked at him disgustingly. "What did you just say?"

"I came here to have a discussion with you Monica." John said her name as if he had a special relationship with her.

"The way you call my name is so funny." She frowned. "Get out! I have nothing to say to you."

John exhaled deeply and stretched out his left palm folded to her. "Take my hand."

"What for?" Monica scoffed. "You are trying to play games with me?"

"Take my hand first!"

Monica placed her palm beneath his and he placed his business card on it. With the help of her other palm, she straightened the card and her eyes widened when she saw the name on the card. "You are-"

"I am John Williams, the managing director of DW electrons."

"Oh my God!" She exclaimed. "What are you doing here? No one must know you are here!"

"What do you mean by that?" He giggled. "Well, I came to have a serious conversation with you anyway, We need to sit and talk." He looked around the bar. "Somewhere very quiet."

"I have a place. Please come with me." Monica led the way.
