Same day

Nate:

I arrive at the club house ,I wanted to see her,if not for anything but to pay her back for her services to me and if possible to accompany me home,

The club was already empty,only few people were left,I walked towards the bar section and asked for a drink,

"Here your order sir ,enjoy "said the bartender,a guy who should be in his early twenties,

"Thanks "I replied,

I drank my drink but my eyes were roaring around looking for her.

"You looking for someone "he asked trying to get my attention

"Yes "I replied,with my eyes still fixed on the club parlour

"Who,I can be of help you know"he asked raises his eyebrows

"Eh I don't really know her name but she works here "

"Ok any description,will go a long way "he said , as he placed another cup in front of me

"The first time we met she was putting on a red lingerie "I replied

"Oh "he exclaimed "there is only one girl that wears red here,you looking for red ily"

"Is that her name "I asked

"Yes that her name"he replied ,drawing closer to me,he whispered "that a newbie,she isn't experienced as the rest"

"Do you mean she started newly here "I asked looking surprised

"Actually not really sure but she should be up to a month "he replied

"Ok where can I meet her,I really need to see her"I asked

"She didn't come to work today ,she call in sicked"he told me

"Do you know where she lives "I said

"Nop"he replied with a little bit of sarcasm

"Please I will pay you "I said ,

"What do you have with her"he asked

"Is something private but I assure you am a good guy "I replied him

"I know ,mere looking at you one can tell you don't come here on a regular base"

"And please can I have her address "I asked again

and I dip my hands into my trouser pocket and handed him some cash

His face lighted up and he grabbed a shit of pepper and pen wrote something into them and handed it to me

"Never mention my name "he warned me

"Ok thanks "I said

I quickly finished my drink and left the club .

Alex:

The incessant ringing of my phone woke me up from sleep,laying lazily on my bed and staring down at the ceiling of my bedroom, my head spinning as a result of the alcohol I had consumed last night,I was still in bed when my phone rang again, I pulled up the phone and saw the caller was my grandfather.

I hesitate to pick up the call but went against it as it rang again

"Hello grandpa "I breathed into the phone

"Hello son,how are you "

"Fine "I replied,as I finally stood up from the bed and went into the bathroom

"I called to remain you about the dinner this weekend and also to let you know that Mary and her father will be joining us for the dinner"

"Why father"I asked

"Because I want you to meet with her, she isn't that bad Alex you will like her when you finally get to know her"

"I have a girlfriend and am coming with her dad"I said

" ok ok son,don't disappoint me "

With that he hung up the phone ,

I quickly had my bath and went to the office to meet Nate.

"Good morning Alex ,how was your night "he asked me

"Fine nate ,thanks for yesterday,I know you helped me to bed "I said

"Yes and that not part of my duty man,"he said to me as he placed a hot cup of coffee on my desk

"Yes and thank God you said it yourself,is left for you to decide if you want to continue doing it or arrange for me what I have bee. Asking you for"I said

"I will not disappoint you "he replied me

"Back to work ,read out my schedule "I commanded
