Aaron's POV
Christina: hey I'm sorry I have to go, but text me when you get back so we could meet up? Now I'm the one asking you out on a date. Don't be difficult".
I stared at the message, my head was completely blank, I could not form any response.
" Who is that? Your phone has been going off all through the last night " Mitchel or Mabel or whatever her name was spoke up beside me. We met after my meeting. She had been staring at me down at the club from the moment I had entered till we ended up at my place. I could not help but notice her. She was really pretty. I was ready to head up to my hotel room when she approached me.
" Are you new here?" She asked me. I could not help but stare her down. She was really pretty, her curves looked South African.The full curves and wide hips, I could not help but think about Christina. I responded so as not to come across like a jerk.
" What if I was?"
" Well how would you feel if I offered to show you around?" she replied seductively.
"Well lead the way" I stated as I moved out of her path.
That was how we found ourselves here on my bed in my hotel room. The s*x was not bad, but instead of feeling better as I had expected, it made me feel more stressed out.
"Whoever is on my phone is none of your business" I retorted, gritting my teeth in annoyance.
"Sorry, I was just asking" she murmured.
I had not been able to take Christina out of my head. I successfully did not think about her all through my stay yesterday until I met Mitchel. Then the message, it has been worse since then.
I had a flight to catch back home by 12 noon today. I had to figure out a way to dismiss Mitchel. I should have found a way to discharge her yesterday after we were finished, but it was not my house. Since it was a hotel, she was welcome to stay, but now she needed to leave.
I stood up to take a shower.
" Can I join you?", she asked staring lazily at me.
for f**k sakes woman!!. What did she think this was?
" No you can't, and I suggest you get ready to leave" I spoke without turning to look at her.
" Leave? What why?" She answered
Was she crazy or something?
" What do you mean why?" I did not have time for this.
"What did you think this was? " I couldn't resist the urge to ask because she was being crazy right now.
" Well.. I thought we could stay in and ...."
" Stay in?" I scoffed. She was being delusional, she did not know who she was talking to, me? stay in for what?
" Yes stay in, Aaron C' Mon" she seemed distressed right now.
Christ I had taken one of those women again.
" Look Mitchel, I have to get back, I'm not from here, I need to get back" I tried to explain to her.
" Well I could follow you, I don't have anything doing" Okay this girl was really crazy now.
" Are you stupid?" I was really angry now
" What? " She asked raising her brows to me. She looked like a child right now and I almost had pity on her, almost
" I asked if you were crazy? How could you just follow someone you just met all the way to another country. You don't just do that, besides you are a woman" I was really tired of talking. At this point I would be late for my flight. I did not bargain for this.
" I trust you" she trust.. she trusted me? f**k! This was going to be hard.
" Look Mitchel.."'
" It's Mabel" she corrected me with a scowl on her face.
" Yes sorry Mabel. You cannot follow me, we literally just met alright. You were just an easy f**k, we are not dating or anything" I explained.
" f**k you" she spat as she stood from the bed.
Finally she was moving. That was not my best moment but it had to be done.
She hurriedly packed her clothes and other things and rushed past me.
I could finally breathe as I had the sound of my door closing. f**k! That was close.
I got ready quickly and made my way to the hotel lobby to clear my self out. I had just 30 minutes to be at the airport. I hoped the traffic would be minimal today.
I hailed a cab and got in urging the driver to quickly take me to the airport. My phone chimed in my pocket, I picked it and saw it was Mac. He had called earlier but I was in a meeting I forgot to call him back.
"Hey bro" I spoke into the phone.
"Hey , I called earlier you weren't picking up are you okay? " This guy was too caring for his own good.
" I'm fine, I was finalizing some things with my co-workers, but I'm done now, wassup"
" Nothing really, did not call when you landed, just thought to call now to check up on you" I did not know how to respond, I don't do well with people taking care of me. Zeeba and Jack know I appreciate them for the things they do for me even when I do not say it.
" Yea, well I'm alright, thanks man" I forcefully said.
" So when do you get back from South Africa today? " Mac asked me.
" Err, I should be at the airport in 15 minutes"
" We should meet up, just call me when you land man"
"Will do thanks man"
"Yea anytime" he answered as he ended the call.
I got to the airport at just the right time. I hated all the stress that came with taking flights, but I had to do it because of the nature of my work, both my real job and Daimon's.
Daimon had yet to call me since these two days I was out of the country. I was both scared and happy. Once Daimon does not call for days, he usually showed up with a ton of work, it was always going to be a stressful week whenever he did that.
Maybe there had not been any shipments lately, which was kind of weird. I would have to call Las once I got back. Las was his right hand man, that dude was the biggest man I had ever seen, his muscles were larger than mine which was saying something. He was taller than me too. Daimon felt like a god anytime Las was with him, no one had ever been able to bring Las down in a fight. I got hospitalized once, trying to go toe to toe with the big man. He was the best fighter Daimon had, I was the next.
The plane was about to take off and I hated my seating position. However, I couldn't complain because I was late. I was sandwiched between an old man that had already started dozing before the plane even took off and a mother with a crying child. I normally took first class but that would have made me stay for an extra day, I had to get back today.
I touched down on Mecrediville soil after 45 mins of endless snores and crying. I called Jack to come pick me up from the airport because I needed a change of clothes to go see my brother and in case I saw HER.
"Hey boyfriend" Jack's voice was quite loud and drew the attention of several people standing around. This fucker!
He held a board that said " to the most rude yet loving and handsome prick I know" stupid I know, but I could not help but smile. This guy was stupid. I walked towards him trying and failing to hide my smile. His was on full display like he had worn a lottery.
" You are one crazy bastard you know that" I said as I got closer to him.
" Yet you love me" he replied laughing as he pulled me into a hug.
" f**k I missed you mate" he breathed out
" It was just two days i***t" I shrugged off even though my heart melted just a little bit.
" Yeah, two days of no rudeness, and constant bickering. The whole town was empty. Your absence was felt" he replied as we pulled from the hug.
" Yeah right! How's Zeeba? She said she was going to come with you. " I responded.
" Yeah, she had an last minute customer at the tattoo parlor, she said to extend her apologies but to promise she'd come by later today" he explained.
She didn't need me to promise as I knew I would most definitely come around. I missed Zeeba's cooking.
We got to the car park and settled in.
" So are you going home? " Jack asked
"Nah, drop me at the dentist hospital" I replied
" Oh to see Mac again? Your visits there are becoming too frequent, anything you'd like to tell me" he mused with a f*****g smirk on his stupid face. I brought out my cigarettes and looked at him for permission after he gave me the go ahead I replied
" f**k off, Mac has just been complaining that I spend most time with you guys and never him" I answered as I took my cigarettes. I was not lying, but I was going today to see Christina, if not I would have turned down his invite today. I needed to sleep, but I agreed. Jack did not need to know s**t about that!.
" Mmmmm. If you say so" he sang out. " By the way, Zee was telling me something about a girl you met at the party the other day? Care to share?" This f*****g prick. I cursed under my breath, as I thought of a quick lie.
" What girl? And you and Zeeba should quit talking s**t about me" these two always ganged up on me.
"Oh please, your life is pretty much boring. With your mafia vibes, who would want to talk about you anyways. " He scoffed
" Well there was and is no girl, understood?"
" Why are you getting all worked up though? " Jack knew how to rile me up, but thank God for these cigarettes, they were really calming me down. He would not get me riled up today.
We had pulled up at the hospital and I walked out, not even bothering to say goodbye to the nosy bastard.
"Should I come pick you up mafia? " He laughed out.
I simply raised my middle finger in the air to him which made him laugh harder. The bastard.
I got into the hospital and headed Straight for Mac's office hoping with everything in me that I would see her in there.
