IVOR
My phone kept buzzing on my desk; Rose, my ex-girlfriend, wouldn't stop calling. I hung up on her because she had nothing sensible to say and I had a lot on my plate.
"Where the heck is Melvin?" I muttered as I picked up the phone, ignoring Rose's call for the 19th time.
I was about to call Melvin when I heard a knock on my office door.
“Come in!” Melvin hurried in a haste.
“Boss”
“What is it?”
“Your Granny had another attack”
“What! Not again, have you called the doctor?”
“Yes! He said he has attended to her”
“Good!, Is the car ready?”
"Yes boss"
I quickly took my glasses and dashed out of the office, Melvin following behind me.
I got into the back seat of the car, and Melvin drove us to Grandma's house. She has played the roles of my parents since my mother died during childbirth. My father cared less about me because he asked my mother to get rid of me, which she refused. She was his mistress, and his wife had been stalking my life for years, but I paid no attention.
Grandma has always looked after me, and now that she is older, I feel obligated to do the same.
I walked in to the house and saw her sitting on the couch as the maid brought her water and placed it in front of her to take her drugs.
“Grandma!” I called.
She turned to me and gestured at me cheerfully spreading her arms out for an embrace. I sat beside her and hugged her, she was so little in my arms as it wrapped around her.
“My child! I had not heard from you for three days and I was worried”.
“Have you been taking your drugs?”
“Yes, I have, I’m fine, the doctor just left”.
“Are you sure?”
“Sure! Why did you ignore me for days?” She hit me on my arms gently. “Was it because of what we discussed? You know I want the best for you”. She bawled, making me emotional again. She is fond of doing that, blackmailing me emotionally because I can’t handle her tears. She is the only one that has this soft spot in my heart. No one, not even my ex-girlfriend Rose nor any of my escapades has been able to get me this soft.
“Not again ma! I will get someone when I feel like, you know marriage is not even on my agenda at the moment”.
“Why will you say that? She raised her voice, don’t you want me to carry my great grandchild before I die?” She coughed, slamming her chest gently.
“Here we go again” I quickly picked up the glass of water and gave it to her to drink.
“Grandma, you shouldn’t be stressing yourself over this marriage talk. You are not dying soon and you will eventually”.
This was the conversation Rose heard and she has been on my neck. If I wanted to marry her, I would have by now. She just isn’t fit for the status to be called my wife.
“You need to rest now granny, it’s getting late. I will get a wife for you”. I said taking her up with my both arms, holding her arms firmly, leading her into her room from the sitting room.
I’ll get a wife but not now, I enjoyed my privacy and is not ready to bring anyone into myspace at the moment.
“Daisy!” I called out to the maid to help put granny to sleep as I took my leave.
“Melvin! What’s the status of Rick?” I asked as I hopped in the car.
“He has been dealt with boss!”.
“Good, drive past the neighbourhood and pick up Josh. He has done well. We need to go clubbing tonight”.
Josh is one of my boys just like Melvin but Melvin is more of a friend than my boy. Rick on the other hand tried to cross my path by trespassing a deal. He deserved everything he got, and lucky I didn’t go for his family or snuck life out of them while he watched.
Melvin drove down to the enclosure and picked Josh up. We headed to the club and saw some guys bullying a lady.
“What the f**k!” Melvin yelled as pulled over and they both rushed to her aid. I stepped out of the car and they fled but my boys got to them and dragged them down.
I made sure they apologized to the lady and she thanked me. The other petite girl in the car said nothing as though nothing happened. I watched how she continuously arranged her dress and hair in the midst of chaos.
They drove off and I ordered my boys to deal with the thugs. They would not try to touch a lady when next they come across one. I watched as they were beaten up, blood oozing out of their mouths.
"Enough! Do not let their misery stain you." We got into the car and drove to Club Vortex.
Grandma's words kept ringing in my head, so I decided to try it. As we entered the club, heads turned towards us, including that of the ungrateful b***h from earlier.
She was petite but attractive. Her dark curls hung over her shoulder, and she couldn't stop staring.
I wanted her that night and made certain she begged, even if it wasn't for earlier. She had to pay for being ungrateful.
I watched her as she entered the room. Hell no! I wanted her for myself and no one else. I dashed after her, and my boys were confused and trailed behind me.
I overheard her bid $500 for blackjack; funny, was she that poor and so proud that she couldn't even say thank you.
Her mouth dropped open when I said I'd pay $50,000 because it sounded so huge.
We played, and I let her win the first two rounds because she was excited. Her face dropped when I started winning, but I kept my laughter in and made her drunk. Removing my mind from having her that night because she looked pathetic.
I was taken aback when she called me back as we were about to leave and asked to get laid. Yes, she was drunk, but her words awoke a dark desire within me, and she kissed me, leaving me puzzled.
I took her to a lounge down the street, and she was eager to get laid. She wanted it in the car, and I thought she was crazy. My boys gave me a teasing look, so I shoved them away.
I was drawn to her because she was a virgin and immediately felt a softness for her, which I had never felt for anyone other than Granny.
Her moans piqued my interest, and I relished the time I spent with her. Every thrust I made drew this connection between us, and I relished every moment of it.
I enjoyed the warm feeling of her juices when she had an orgasm bringing me to mine. I kissed her immediately after making love to her and laid her on the bed as we slept together.
She snuck out of bed and abandoned me before dawn. I wanted her that morning, but she had left. I assumed she had regained consciousness. It could be a one-time thing for her, but I wanted more. I want her for myself; seeing another man touch her would irritate me. I asked Melvin to find out more about her and get back to me. She bruised my ego by sneaking out. Was I not good enough? What more did she want? Why would she sneak out?
