Chapter 7. { The Stakeout]
"Half fired"
"Is that a word?"
"F**k you"
"What happened?"
"He lambasted me in front of all calling me useless for not bringing in an exclusive for the past two months then threw me out. I'm in the famousest club to get a scoop. Celebs comes here"
"I bet you aren't actually looking for a scoop but spying. And famousest? I'm ashamed of you in place of God for misusing the brain he gave you"
"Thanks"
"So you're on stakeout? Got anything yet?"
"Been snooping around for two days now but nothing yet. I have a great feeling tonight though"
"Be careful"
"Thanks I won't. I'm doing this right now cause a best friend of mine who works at one of the 'famousest' company wouldn't even give this striving reporter a little info to save her damn ass." Donna said dramatically. Maya rolled her eyes.
"How about I disclose the company's secret to you?"
"I'll be thankful and will visit you in jail thrice a month" Donna chuckled.
What are you doing?" She asked.
"The same old thing. Just got back"
"Okay Amma see you when I get promoted have to go now. Some apes keep ogling at me here and it's freaking cringing" She said. Amaya could picture her griting her teeth.
"Gotta go. Bye Best!"
"Good luck Enemy" Maya replied and she could hear her chuckle before the call got disconnected.
Donna and Amaya has been friends since high school. Initially they started as enemies as Maya caught her making out with her boyfriend in the lab room. A huge fight broke out but surprisedly to every one they become close shortly after that. Donna's dream was to become an announcer but after failing several times she settled down for reporter. She's the type you could described as beautiful and fearless. She does things without thinking or thinking of the after math.
Maya sighs for the umpteenth time. Scrolling through her contact list she came across Matt's line. Right? She had totally forgotten about him. She called he picked up.
"Mi armorr" She purred.
"What do you want Maya?" His voice came out uninterested.
"I'm so sorry love. I miss you"
"Let's face time" He replied and disconnect the call. Maya breath out in relief. At least he's letting her off the hook easily.
ROLLS' CLUB.
Donna adjusted her glasses well on her face, her eyes scrutinizing every corner for a fish to catch. She has been doing this for two days now but haven't gotten any tangible scoop yet. Sure many celebs are here but they're all just having fun that's all. Feeling tired, she rose from her seat and made to use the restroom. On her way she saw Mateo Shepard, a popular young actor and model. But he wasn't alone but with a lady she doesn't recognized. Quickly, she slid into a corner taking their pictures with her glasses. There's actually a spy cam installed on it, she just have to tap it to take pictures. She uses this and other deves since she couldn't take her camera in. Mateo has a clean image and had always been careful not to get dirt on his name but now seems he is gonna get one cause Donna isn't gonna back down now that she caught him. She kept following them stealthily until they entered a private room with two guards standing outside.
"F**k!" She swept up her hair thinking of ways to get inside the room and surely an idea struck her.
***
"Be free...he won't bite" Mateo placed his palm on the lady's exposed thigh sitting beside him. The lady let out a nervous and uncomfortable smile.
"You said your name is Reese right? " A guy sitting across them asked. He had a mask worn on his face covering it. Only his nose and lips are visible.
" Reese Santiago" The lady replied in a tiny voice.
"You're pretty. You wanna become a singer?" The mask guy asked again and she nodded.
"What do you think? She can make it right?" Mateo asked with a smirk.
"Well..I've to test her first. You can sing well?"
"Ye...yess. My mother is a singer also. Should I sing for you?"
"You'll have to...I have to know what I'm investing in" The mask guy replied.
A knock came at the door and it opens revealing a petite lady holding a tray of tea. Donna bow slightly at them before moving to the large table to drop the tray she's holding. She had actually knocked out the supposed waiter to serve them and disguise as her.
She pours the tea expertly in the tea cup then place it on the table in front of the lady who seems rather shy or maybe uncomfortable. She had requested for tea instead declining the tequila they were having. Donna took a glance at the lady then to Mateo beside her.
"Leave" A cold voice spoke out and she looked to the direction. He was wearing a mask but she could tell handsomeness is hidden under the mask. Donna made a slight bow then left the room.
"Have your tea" Mateo gave the lady the cup and she collected it having a sip. But she had to squirm when Mateo suddenly stroke her hair. She dropped the cup.
"Should I sing now?" She quizzed. Mateo looks at the Mask guy with a smirk.
"You seems to be in a hurry. Go ahead. Let's hear you sing" The mask guy replied.
For two hours, Donna lurk around the big club looking for another prey to feed on.
LATER AT NIGHT.
Getting home, Donna strip herself naked and sauntered to the bathroom. Minutes later she came out in a towel. She dried her hair with the hand dryer then creamed her body before settling in her night gown which stopped just above her knees and unveiling her ravishing cleverage. She packed her hair to one side and settled on the bed opening her laptop. She took the USB drive she had hid in the jug earlier and plugged it on her laptop.
"Yess!" She clasped her palms together watching the footage being recorded after she left.
"Now let's hear you sing" The mask guy said.
Reese stood up and clears her throat. Slowly her angelic voice came out.
I secretly bite my lower lip and close my eyes...I try to hide the fluttering feeling filling my body. Give
me a perfect day oh I'll stay by_ ahh!!
A loud gasped from her made her stop singing. She looked back with widened eyes only to see Mateo smirking back at her. His hand which has suddenly grabbed her @ss squeezed it more.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!" She slapped his hand away giving him a nasty look.
Mateo only smirk back naughtily.
"I'm...I'm out of here" She grabbed her bag but the mask guy voice stopped her.
"Stop there! You still haven't sang" He said.
"I'm...I'm no more interested...I'm sorry" She said and rushed to the door only to find it locked.
"Please open the door. I need to go now" The lady pleaded nervously. The mask guy stood up while mateo rested his back back on the sofa.
"But I'm interested. And you ain't leaving here dear...until you sing for me" He started removing his belt. Reese became alerted.
"Please...please let me go.." She whimper.
"Not after doing what you came here for" He whipped her harshly with the belt and she fell to the floor.
