Since we both weren't expecting anyone and I didn't want to show waridi I had cameras hidden I took my gun with me to the door and when I opened it Clark was there and when he saw me he raised arms up as a sign of surrender.
Clark: am not here to cause trouble. Am only here for her.
When Waridi heard that she quickly got up and rushed to the door and when she saw him she was more surprised than I even was.
Waridi: how did you find me here?
Clark: come on, you are not that hard to track. The boss needs you to check in.
Waridi: but I called in sick.
Clark: he knows that but he still wants you to go to work. He has an emergency meeting with all the employees.
Waridi: you go back there and tell him am not coming, how did you even get here. You put a tracker on me?
Clark: I followed both of you here. I was coming to your place when I saw you at the junction but before I could get to you, I saw you get in a car so I followed you.
Waridi: I have been here for like two hours. Where were you all that time?
Clark: waiting by the gate. I did not think you would take that long so having thought you would sleep here, I decided to come for you.
She turned to look at me and without a word I walked back into the house. The appetite was even gone so I switched on the TV and lay back to watch as I left then to finish whatever conversation they were having.
Waridi: couldn't you have just called?
Clark: check your phone. I have called like ten times.
Clark: come with me waridi, you will get in trouble.
Waridi: am not going anywhere.
Clark: you know the boss won't like it if he hears you are hanging out with the enemy, come on let's go.
Waridi: you are not going to tell him are you?
Clark: not if you come with me. What am I supposed to tell him when I get back there?
Somehow Clark managed to convince her and the next thing was waridi coming to tell me she was leaving.
Me: seriously? Why did you let me cook if you knew he was going to come for you?
Waridi: I didn't know Rahim, he just showed up.i promise I will make it up to you.
Me: just go. I think this was not a good idea in the first place.
Waridi: why are you talking like I planned all these, so now a mistake happens and you lursh out on me?
Me: just go waridi, there's no point in having a conversation about it.
Waridi: ok.
She picked her hand bag from the seat and left.
ELSEWHERE
Waridi and Clark had not gotten to the club yet but Faruk chose to address the employees anyway.
Faruk: the business has gone down and we are are not making money like we have been in the past. Am not sure where we are going wrong but am certain some of you here are sleeping on their jobs.
A casino is a gambling site and I have made sure everything including entertainment of all sort that is needed here is available. What is your problem as an individual?
The room was very silent with no murmurings. So Faruk did alot of talking assigning new duties and stuff A few minutes later waridi and Clark got in only that the meeting had already been adjourned and Waridi asked to speak to Faruk alone so he cleared the room and remained with just her.
Faruk: am sorry I know you called in sick but this meeting was urgent.
Waridi: I have come here for one thing.
Faruk: what?
Waridi: to resign. I don't need this job any more.
Faruk: no waridi you can't do that, people here love you and what you do.
Waridi: people love me for stripping, I have had enough of that. I want a different life Faruk and I have found that. I am seeing someone who can't know am stripping to pay my bills. Very soon we will get married and I want to leave my stripper life in the past.
Faruk just listened to her and when she was done, she placed the resignation letter that she had with her for a while now on the table and waited for faruks final word.
Faruk pulled a drawer took out an evelope with some money in it and threw it on the table.
Faruk: 60,000k as a gift to make you stay.
Waridi: you think you can buy me with 60,000k Faruk?
Faruk: how much are you worth?
Waridi: is that what you think of me, someone that can be bought?
Faruk: well, that's how you have always carried yourself girl, you are a w***e and w****s are usually after money so yes all of them can be bought because they have a price tag on them.
Waridi picked the money on the table and put it in her bag.
Waridi: after the insult, I will not leave the money but one thing you should know is that am not coming back to be a w***e. The 60,000k will pay my salary and for the insults you have hurled at me. Good luck finding your next w***e.
Faruk watched waridi walk out and hit the table as he got up. He paced up and down and was stopped by the bar tender who walked in and called him.
Faruk: what?
Bartender: sorry, just came to inform you that we need more supplies at the bar.
Faruk: get me Clark now!
he barked, still upset by the fact that waridi had really left.
Bartender: right away sir.
The bar tender went out and a few minutes later Clark came in and found him standing by the window with his hands in his pocket. he turned around and looked at him then walked back to his chair and sat..
Clark: you called for me?
Faruk: have a sit Clark..
He did and faruk leaned in to have a conversation with him..
Faruk: what do you know about Waridi's resignation?.
Clark:uuuh! Waridi's what?
Faruk: resignation, don't you understand English? you spend alot of time with her. Didn't she tell you about her resignation?
Clark: no. she did not. i spend time with waridi but her life is very private even to me.
Faruk: any man in her life you know about that might be considering marrying her because she mentioned having a boyfriend who might be injecting those thoughts in her head.
Clark: not that I know of sir. I have not seen any man around her..
Faruk: well, there has to be.find out who he is and once you know him get me his details. Do you understand?
Clark: yes sir.
Faruk: you can leave.
Clark got up and started walking out but Faruk called him again and he got back.
Faruk: i understand there are some supplies needed, please take care of that..
Clark: okay sir..
He left the room leaving Faruk bouncing a small ball on the wall and catching it..
ELSEWHERE
At Renee's place, she was paid a visit by the police at around 9pm. Apparently someone had tipped them off that she had been hanging out with drug dealers and that issue also raised an alarm concerning her mother's death. someone had poison her mother and there was a lot of questions left unanswered. where was she when the woman got poisoned and who could have had a reason to kill her. Rosemary Sarah Doli was a decent woman, she never had enemies and she was friends with everyone.
the officers knocked on the door as they surveyed around and a shortly after, she opened the door and came face to face with the officers..
Officer: miss Renee jabali, that is you right?
she nodded giving both of them a not so satisfied look.
Renee: yes. That js me, how can i be of help to you sir?
Officer: we will need you to come with us to the police station for questioning.
Renee: questioning on what exactly sir?
Officer: on the few visitors you have been having and also for the death of Mrs Rosemary, sarah Doli.
Renee: I don't know anything about her death, i was not even here when it happened. How can I be questioned?
Officer: (to the other officer) take her away.
Renee started to shout saying she was not going anywhere because she had nothing to do with Sarah's death but the officers were not giving her an ear.
NICKS PLACE.
Nick got a call from someone and it seemed like there was much to it than anyone else knew. Nick is the one who tipped the officers off telling them about Renee's involvement with drug dealers. he wanted to get back at Rahim by all means and he knew that by doing so, he would someone throw him off balance because Renee was somehow important to him...
Voice: so now that she is arrested what do we do next?
Nick: you saw them take her away?
Voice: yes, I saw them take her away. I even took video as they literally dragged her out of the house..
Nick: the next thing is to lure Rahim out of his hiding place. i have not seen a lot of him since the incident happened.
Voice: do you think getting Renee arrested will lure him out?
Nick: i think he is the first person she will call and when he shows up, they will arrest him too and our problem will be solved. I will take over the spar and make sure he stays locked up for a long time.
Voice: Nick you need to think this through carefully. Rahim has a network of guys and you can't just get rid of him like that I have been investigating him. Don't do something that will come to bite you in the ass.
Nick: I pay you to do a job i have asked you to, not to poke your nose where you should not, so that should be the only thing you get to worry about.
Voice: okay sir.
When Waridi left, I had covered the food with plates on the table and went to my room to relax from there checking out mails and responding to them. I was about to retire to bed when I heard the door again and when i checked, waridi was back and somehow that got me excited. i didn't expect her to be back but to have gone to work like normal days.
I got out of bed, walked to the door, opened it and she hugged me holding me tight for a minute and I hugged her back.
Waridi: am sorry I left. i should have stayed here with you.
Me: it's okay. You want to come in?
Waridi: yeah.
We broke free from the hug, held her hand and led her inside and as soon as the door banged close I grabbed her by the waist, pulled her closer and i could feel her body trembling and her eyes shone with excitement. i kissed her gently on the lips.
then she placed her warm hands on the back of my neck and kissed me back lifting her lips to mine lightly, then more vigorously. my tongue in her mouth and her hips tilted against mine and the way she came at me, i could tell that she had wanted to do it just like i had. Her firm breasts pressed against my chest and i could hear her heart beat with excitement with every touch. she pushed me to the wall just besides the door and pressed herself against my body lifting her hip to mine and her whole body sending a message that was undeniable. my d**k had slowly started swelling inside my sweatpants and i grabbed her ass and pulled her even closer to me and gently rubbing her against myself.
i nuzzled against her, my lips on her neck, nibbling and kissing my way up to her earlobe, where she'd always felt ticklish..
my strong and gentle hands began to stroke her, her hands, her lips, and her tongue.
I felt her n*****s grow harder and she began to thrust herself against me. i lifted her to my waist and carried her to my bedroom, i gently lay her on the bed and she took off my shirt as her unbuttoned her blouse and lay her back the pulled off her pants.. her body was calling and with every stroke, she moaned softly. i never thought i would get to make love to Waridi because she was a tough woman with principles. i loved her..we started slow, then she picked the rhythm. i was gently moving my body up and down then i lifted her hip to get access and she pressed herself hard against me..and then a sweet spasm went through her. she moaned tightly clinging to me. "i love you" she whispered in my ear and i kissed her then whispered an i love you too..
she looked me in the eyes and she seemed worried about something. i wrapped her up in my arm and asked if she was okay and she shook her head..
Waridi: I need to tell you something.
I took her hand and put it on my chest then looked right into her eyes.
Me: am listening.
Waridi: I have resigned from my stripper job.
Me: ooooh! Okay.
Waridi: but there is a problem.
Me: what is it?
Waridi: I think Faruk will be coming after us.
Me: why would he do that, I mean coming after me is understandable because we've got some unfinished business but for you i don't understand why.
Waridi: I used to bring alot of money in the club because most men came to watch me dirty dance and the many times I didn't report there was a problem. Right now he is upset he even called me a w***e.
Me: you can't let what people think about you affect who you really are on the inside.
Waridi: am afraid.
Me: you shouldn't be. Am here and i will protect you from the likes of Faruk only if you let me..
We hugged again and she kissed me all over the face as she tickled me too..
