5. I CAN TAKE CARE OF YOU

"Where the hell are you" he murmured to himself again looking anxiously around the building. Vincent then approached the security guards with so much worried, "please good afternoon" he greeted the two security guards in the native language who are lost in their argument about a football match that happened last night. They were so engrossed in it they didn't hear someone speaking "I said if I was on that foot a field, I would have scored the goal that footballer who missed" he angrily said making the other guard loosing control of his laughter "I could have scored" he continued, his hand moving towards Vincent which almost hit him but he dodged it thanks to his daily routine exercised and his reflexes are on point. The other guard who seems not to be able to control his laughter "you .. think you could ….lift your foot to even…kick an empty bottle" still laughing so hard he lost strength in his leg which made him sat down.

Vincent cleared his throat so loudly which interrupted the guard's laughter gaining their attention they turned to look at who was interrupting them with a stern look in their eyes towards Vincent "good afternoon" he repeated his greeting to the guards again who now responded with their head. "Please have you seen any white guy around" he continued looking so helpless. "Oh the cute white guy who looked like a girl" replied by the guard who was laughing uncontrollably "he was acting like he wants to relief himself so we showed him the male washroom" he continued. Vincent now sat down on the bench by the security guards with a heavy sigh like a husband who was waiting to hear the news of his pregnant wife delivered successfully. He breathed in and out and asked them to show him their washroom.

With now a smile plastered on his face and excitement he entered the building went to the right side of the corner of the receptionist and entered the washroom "Jae Won, are you here" Vincent asked while stretching his neck to see each cubicle as if calling him wasn't enough. On the third cubicle of the washroom, Vincent was about to open the door when he heard "yes I'm here" Jae Won responded. He ran towards where the sound came from which was from the fourth cubicle "you really scared the shit out of me" he said while waiting for Jae Won to come out. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to" he paused while he open the door of the cubicle with his hand rubbing his tummy through the fabric he was wearing with a gloomy face "I didn't mean to I couldn't hold it in any longer" he continued.

Vincent quickly rushed towards him looking straight in his eyes emanating comforting words from his eyes Vincent himself couldn't explain. "Are you done" he asked turning to look at Jae Won who has bypassed him moving towards the sink. "I'm really okay now" he said while washing his hands. He went ahead to dry them when he said "can I get a new shirt and pants, I really feel hot in this one" he said pointing to the clothes he was wearing, the one he took it from the cleaner's dry line. "No problem" he said with a smile lurking around the corner of his mouth while pointing to the door of the washroom " can we go now" he asked Jae Won expecting him to take the lead . Jae Won nodded taking the lead.

The moment they got to the car, Vincent opened the door for him to sit. He sat down looking up to Vincent with a cute puppy eyes. Finally he went ahead and sat down "if you want anything, just feel free to tell me. I don't want anything to happen to you". He said while starting the engine of his car "now let's go get you some clothes" he said smiling while looking in front of as if he is hiding his red cheek from Jae Won.

Jae Won whose face and ears became so red you could clearly see from the tinted mirror of the car, he blushed while smiling foolishly to himself. Vincent drove towards the main gate of the bus station upon reaching there he slowed down "thank you very much" Vincent said to the security guards who continued their argument when Vincent went but this time they heard "you are welcome" they replied while the second guard kept on laughing. "He must be a laughing jackal" Vincent said to himself.

He drove for about thirty minutes from the bus station and parked at the front of a huge story building. Jae Won looks so confused "I thought we were going for clothes" he said while looking around to see if there is an invisible boutique he hasn't seen yet. Vincent laughed "I have a place I always buy my clothes and it's affordable too. That's where we are going" he said assuring Jae Won I know where I'm going. They got down from the car, Vincent came closer to Jae Won and held his hand like a school girl who wants to be held by her mummy walked towards the huge building while Jae Won walked besides Vincent.

Vincent climbed up the stairs up to the third floor of the building where he entered a shop filled with mens clothes. "Wow, I didn't see this down there" he said while he opened his mouth amazed by what he saw "can I try some of the clothes" he asked. Vincent nodded in agreement to his request with a smile "of course that's why you are here" he replied. He sat down while Jae Won looked through the clothes in the boutique "oh I'm gonna try this" he said quickly taking the clothes out of the hanger. Jae Won interlaced his finger while looking like a child who wants to ask for money "where should I go change" tapping on the floor with his foot he asked while looking down on his finger. Vincent chuckled while pointing towards the changing room, Jae Won quickly rushed to the room. A few seconds later he came out with a face of a bride awaiting the reaction of his groom about her wedding dress "how is it?" He asked nervously waiting for a reply.

"Perfect for this hot weather" he said staring unconsciously at Jae Won who seems to be blushing so hard and couldn't hide it well. "Why are looking at me, isn't it nice" he asked while looking at Vincent. "Uhm it's nothing, just that you look so handsome" he replied, though Vincent is black but you could clearly see the redness of his cheek and ears. Jae Won was wearing a blue jeans with a short sleeved shirt, he opened the buttons down to the middle of his breast showing the white paled, broad chest of his and a pair of white sneakers he picked on his way to the changing room. "Now pick three or more clothes so we could get something to eat" he said while looking around for the same clothes which made his heart skipped a beat. "Okay" Jae Won replied excitedly as a result of Vincent compliment. They finished up by choosing three additional clothes to the one Jae Won was wearing and went ahead to the reception to pay up.

"Hi good evening, I didn't see you when I entered" he said to the owner of the boutique, his favorite. "Master, I was eating so I left it with my worker" he replied smiling while putting the clothes in a bag. "It's been long since I saw you around" he continued while waiting to receive his cash. "I was in school I just came this morning" he replied taking out his phone from his pocket to pay up. "I'm gonna pay with Momo" he continued. He finished paying up signaling the owner to confirmed his payment. The owner signaled him back confirming his payment.

"I know of a nice Korean restaurant around this place. You are gonna love it" he said leading the way to the door with a big smile that could brighten the world from darkness. "You would lo…." He was interrupted by the owner of the boutique "please come again and thank you" he said while bowing to this customer. Vincent glared at him in a respectful way but could murder the owner interrupting his communication with his Jae Won. Vincent nodded to the owner while he opened the door for Jae Won.

He drove for about ten minutes from the boutique to the said restaurant he keeps talking about for the whole ten minutes while he was driving. "You must love this restaurant" Jae Won said while looking something beautiful that caught his eyes. "Is this the restaurant you were talking about" he asked. He was so stunned by the restaurant which has a lounge great for chilling and enjoying the view of Accra and a cool vibe with a roof top pool and bar. Jae Won opened his mouth unconsciously almost drooling.

"What a wow" he said Vincent smiling like a fool and like a child who has been praised in front of a whole class. "It's own by a Korean and I keep forgetting his name" trying to remember while closing his eyes but tilting his head left and right but couldn't remember the name. "oh and is expensive but it's worth it" he said while parking his car. "It is?" asked by Jae Won who looked worried because of the word expensive. He didn't want to be burden to his savior "you let's just go home, it's okay" he said while putting back his seatbelt on. Vincent laughed shaking his head as if he couldn't believe what he just heard.

"Don't worry Jae Won, I can take care of you for the rest of your life" he said with a smile assuring Jae Won who now seemed convinced "trust me, my parents are rich" he said while taking out the seatbelt on Jae Won. After he finished he turned to look at Jae Won only to be an inch closer to Jae Won face with his heart beating faster than normal without realizing ,

"I CAN REALLY TAKE CARE OF YOU" he said.
