Chantel POV
Walking sluggishly out of the Elite restaurant,I walked to the road and tried to catch a ride. I'm so tired and the worst part of it all is that Sonia, my best friend, isn't in town, she's out for business purposes. If she is around at least she would prepare dinner for me. As though the day was in my favor, time ran as fast as I prayed for.
It can be really frustrating for one person to have numerous part time jobs and still can't afford a proper meal. Even at a young age I already perceived how unfair life would be to me. The fact that other kids had their both parents and I'm left with one alone gave me that idea. The worst part of it all is that my mom doesn't even want me to ever talk about my father. As she said, I believed, my dad passed away when I was just a kid. That was the only information she gave me about him.
I guess she doesn't want to remember her painful past so I never mentioned that till she went into a comatose state.
"Hey Chantel." Someone called out from behind and I turned to the direction of the voice.
"Is this you?It's been two years now since I last set my eyes on you. Come here my child." Miss Peace my mom's supposed best friend said as she engulfed me in a hug.
How is she here all of a sudden? Out of the blues she's standing right infront of me. What happened when she was the only hope I had on earth? When my mom entered into a comatose state she disappeared, I searched the whole city for her but she was nowhere to be found.
"I came back here to see you. How is your mom Margret fairing?" She inquired as she broke from the hug.
"She's still fighting for her life and she looks as dejected and pale as everyone in the world left her." I said with rage and Miss Peace lips fell ajar.
"I have been busy lately, trust me I had they both of you at the back of my mind." She said then her phone beeped and she looked at the caller ID and her countenance changed immediately.
"Please take this, call me in two days time, there's something about your mom you must know." She whispered while looking sideways as though someone invisible to me was following her, after saying those words she ran out.
I wasn't even given the time to think about her actions when my phone beeped and I brought it out from my pant pocket. "Hey birthday girl!". Sonia screamed from the other line leaving a smile on my lips.
If not for her, I didn't even recall that today is meant to be special as it's my birthday but just like every other day it has already ended. '`How's work going over there?''I inquired from her.
"Don't ask me that, Today is your day babes, Don't tell me that because I ain't there you won't keep to what you said you would do in your twenty second birthday." I smiled at that because frankly speaking that's impossible right now.
"Get drunk and have mind blowing sex!" We both exclaimed in unison and I walked to the nearby road bench and sat down.
"So get down on it immediately!" Sonia said with a high pitch of excitement.
"I don't have money to waste..."She cut me short immediately.
"It's your day girl, spending that little cash to make yourself happy is worthwhile." She assured me and I think that's the only encouragement I needed to stand on my feet and walk to a nearby club.
"I don't think I can afford a gigolo for tonight,if I can't then I would just fulfill my wish of getting drunk maybe in my next birthday I can do that." I suggested but I know Sonia wasn't having it my way tonight.
"If you won't find a gigolo then don't get drunk to avoid being in danger, In your next birthday we'll celebrate it together." She said so as to brighten up my mood.
"Go in there, drink yourself to stupor and take a really hot guy with abs home, make me proud baby." She said then hung up the call and immediately my eyes sighted a man walking past me to the club. His clothes screamed majesty and his composure says it all, he doesn't belong here.
The minute the door of the club closed that I got a hold of myself and inhaled then exhaled before walking in. I scanned the entire place and found out that the seats where all occupied. My shoulders slumped as I turned to walk out of the club but then I noticed that the man that just walked in now is sitting all alone.
I walked up to him and tapped on his table to get his attention as the entire place is so noisy. "Can I sit?''I asked and he looked up then nodded his head then turned back to his tablet.
I signaled the waiter to get me a bottle of champagne and in a few minutes he did. As I lifted the glass to my lips the man sitting just beside me said "Happy birthday." I was forced to bring my glass down to the table and for some unknown reason my heart began to palpitate.
"How do you know it's my birthday?"I inquired and without smile or grin on his face. "I overheard your conversation." He stated
"Ohh, thanks." I replied as I gulped down the entire content of my glass.
I seized this opportunity to study his features. He has beautiful blue eyes that can bore holes into someone's heart, then his nose stood straight as though it was sculptured,a perfect piece of art. His lips are full and enchanting,even though he refuses to smile,his dimples don't need him to strain himself for it to be obvious. He's the definition of a Greek god.
"You don't look happy as a birthday girl."He said as he placed his elbow on the table and stared at me with those beautiful orbs of his.
I didn't know what to say to him, so I just refilled my glass and gulped it down. I think I'm already feeling tipsy. "What do you want? Any birthday wish you did love to fulfill?" He asked as he took a sip from his glass.
It felt awkward to tell a stranger what I wanted as my birthday gift but then I found myself saying, "I need a gigolo for the night."
"Then I will be your gigolo."
Zeker's POV
I watched as the lady sitting beside me gulped down the content of her glass. She is really an interesting character to behold. While I was coming inside the club, I overheard her conversation with her friend and I couldn't help but stop in my tracks. I really hate eavesdropping, but this particular conversation got me hooked. How can someone want to spend a night with a gigolo on her birthday? It doesn't make much sense to me at all, but, nevertheless, normality is boring.
On a normal day, I don't drink in this type of noisy and cheap place. I always love my privacy and I love to stay in places that match my status. But today, I just decided to try something that is unlike me. I want to know how people drink and enjoy themselves in a noisy environment.
Though today wasn't all that great, my company stock has been decreasing for three days now and today it was massive. The product we launched earlier this month isn't yielding anything at all and investors are withdrawing their shares and many are threatening to do the same.
Even though my dad has handed his empires to me even though he hasn't turned seventy, it doesn't mean that I should be so dependent because I hate that language. I have managed my father's business for five years now before he decided to hand it over to me because he knows I am the only person that can handle it. Moreover, my brother Ethan pursued his dream of being an actor and right now, he is a very popular actor.
As much as I had always wanted to go into business after college, I had also always wanted to have a company I could call mine.
"You mean, you're not taking anything from me?" she asked as her eyes threatened to bulge out of her eye socket.
"Wait!" I exclaimed and took the glass of vodka from her hand.
"What? Give it back." She said as she shook her head sideways as though trying to shake off the alcohol. I smiled at her actions.
"No I won't, that's enough. If we must have sex today, then you mustn't be drunk. I want you to be conscious, I don't want you to wake up and accuse me of rape." I said with a smirk.
"Okay, let's get started already." She said as she came close to me with her enchanting eyes fixed on my lips. The distance between our lips wasn't up to a space for a pen to pass through, but she didn't do anything. I just kept looking at her, and slowly she withdrew as though she didn't find the courage to do it at all. She attempted to take the drink away from me, but I took it and finished the content.
"Seeking a source of courage?" I asked with a grin, and she turned to her left, avoiding my gaze. This lady is a drama queen.
"Yeah, so can you please help me with that?" She tried taking the drink from my hand, but then I gulped down the entire content of the glass.
"I would love it if you stay conscious throughout our ride." I whispered to her as I drew my face closer to hers.
I was shocked to the bone marrow when she captured my lips with hers. Likewise, I froze for some time. She attempted to break free from the kiss, but then I deepened it. She followed my lead, kissing me as passionate as I was doing to her. Her lips are so alluring and it tastes so exquisite. The feeling is like heaven in hell. I broke the kiss and our gazes met, the look I saw in those tempting eyes was nothing but hunger for me.
It stared up something in me and I wanted nothing but to give her all I've got. "What's your name?" I asked out of the blue.
"Chantel." The way her name rolled out if her tongue was like a sweet melody to my senses, the image of how she would use those beautiful sweet lips of hers to scream my name formed in my head.
"I want you." It felt as though the words weren't coming from the lady sitting right in front of me, I turned to confirm if someone else was there, but before I could do that, she captured my lips in yet another kiss and trust me, this time it isn't just going to end here.
"I'm all yours baby, and you're mine for the night, Let's go somewhere else, I don't mind having you right here but trust me I don't have the habit of sharing." I whispered with a hoarse voice into her ears, then lifted her up to my arms as I walked out of the club. I don't mind the fact that hundreds of eyes were fixed on us.
Likewise, I pressed my car remote and the car opened, and I made her sit in the passenger's seat beside the driver's side of the car. Walking towards the driver's side I sat down and drove off immediately, and we didn't say a word to each other. Trust me, the silence was doing something to us or perhaps just me. I drove as fast as I could to the nearest hotel.
She didn't let me open the car door for her again as she walked out on her accord. I walked into the hotel and she followed suit. I brought out my VIP card and showed it to the receptionist who just smiled at me as I walked in. We both entered the elevator. The minute the elevator closed, I held her hand and clasped her waist with my arm. "You're doing something to me and I can't resist any longer." I whispered into her ears as I began to kiss those tempting lips of hers.
"Ahh mm mm ahhh..." She moaned in-between kisses and that her voice alone was enough to get me as hard as a rock.
"Zeker, that's the name I want to hear you scream." I said while locking my eyes with hers, then began to pepper kisses on her neck.
Suddenly, the elevator opened to our room and I made her straddle me as I walked into the room. She enclosed her lips with mine again and after a while wrapped her hands around my neck, "Please take me."
Zeker POV
The rays of the light from the curtain shone directly into my eyes. I opened my eyes and instantly shut it close again then robbed it gently before opening it. I sat up on the bed immediately and turned to the clock on the nightstand. Furthermore, I stood up immediately upon seeing that it's almost seven in the morning. Likewise, I'm an early riser and have never slept this late. Then what happened?
Walking into the bathroom I pulled off my briefs and turned on the shower. I closed my eyes and let the water cool my aching head. Yesterday was really splendid, I've never had such good sex in decades now. The best part of it all is that I'm her first. That thought brought a smile to my lips. I would love to have a beautiful moment with her again just like yesterday, but then I guess it better ends here.
After taking my bath, I walked out of the bathroom and took my clothes which were laying on the marble floor and put them on. Then picked hers up and placed it neatly on the nightstand. I plopped onto the dressing mirror and combed my hair after which I applied my cologne which is always with me.
Making my way to the door, I twisted the door knob, I turned my neck to The Sleeping Beauty on the bed and stared at her for a few seconds before going out of the room. I made my way to the receptionist and paid them for another night in case she wakes up late to avoid waking her up from sleep.
"Serve her breakfast when it's 10am." I ordered after paying for that.
"Okay sir." She replied and I walked out of the hotel.
I plopped towards my car in the parking lot, I entered it and placed my right foot on the left-hand pedal then pushed down. I pressed the start button and began to drive out of the hotel. The gate opened on their accord as I drove to the road. The minute I turned on the radio, my phone began to beep, and thankfully it's connected to my ear pod.
"Hello, make it snappy." I said over the line with my mind focused on the road.
"Zeker, did you just tell your mom to make it snappy?" I immediately looked at my phone screen.
"Ohh, didn't check the caller ID before connecting the call. How are you mom?" I asked as I continued traveling.
"I'm not fine. I miss my sons so much and the worst part of it is that none of them seem to remember my existence. I'm totally a forgotten soul!" She whimpered in her usual manner. She always does this when she wants something from me.
"You know how busy I've been." I said as I diverted my car to another direction.
"Yeah, but you're back in town, aren't you? I really want to see you, pay your poor mother a visit at least." She said with her dramatic sad tone, perhaps she's sipping a cup of juice while on this call.
"Mom, I don't have that time. I have a lot on my plate right now, maybe some other time." She heaved an audible sigh.
"I prepared your favorite food, I thought you'll at least drop by as it's been close to a year now. I understand how business you are. Take care of yourself in that case." She pitifully said and waited for my reply. She didn't hang up because she knows I will change my mind.
"I'm on my way." I announced as I hung up the call.
She's right, I've been out of the country for almost a year now, and I rarely speak with my mom. I've even forgotten the last time I spoke with my supposed girlfriend. That's how busy I am. Though even if I have any spare time, I would rather go have fun than waste that time on calling Bianca.
I never dreamed of my love life to be this pathetic, she made me give up on love. Though it's not entirely her fault because I gave up long before she walked into my life. Our relationship is just based on benefits, collaborations and business, nothing more. I pleaded with her not to develop any sort of feelings towards me because I won't reciprocate it, but then she couldn't.
In the sight of many, I'm the unfair one here because I don't give two fucks about our relationship. I don't love her in any way, the worst part of it is that I can't even pretend we're friends. Everything about her irritates and irks me. It's obvious I'm not into her, and she would rather not give up.
Her father is the most wicked and nefarious man I've ever met, profit must be attached in all he does. He claims to be my father's friend but to me, an enemy is far preferable than a friend like him.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even realize that I had arrived in front of my father's mansion. When the gate opened on its accord, I drove directly to the parking lot and packed my car properly. As I walked out of my car, the main door of our living room opened immediately and my mom walked out with smiles.
"My first fruit!" She called out as she gave me a heartwarming hug.
"You're so lean." She voiced out as she scrutinized me from head to toe.
"Couldn't help it." I said with a smirk, and she smiled and held my hand as we walked into the living room.
"You should take your fiancé with you on a business trip next time..."
"Point of correction, she's not yet my fiancé, just my girlfriend." I corrected, and she looked up at me with a confused expression.
"What do you mean by that..."
"Is this why you asked me to come over? Trust me when I say that I will leave here." I said as I turned towards her with rage.
"Zeker! You're back!" Bianca called out as she walked towards me and gave me a light hug and peaked my cheeks.
"What are you doing here?" I asked as I was really irked by her mere presence, and it seems she's the reason my mom asked me to come over here.
"I came to see you, you stopped taking my calls for months now." She complained with a hurt expression.
"You've seen me, you can leave." I ordered and she looked briskly at me.
"Zeker, you know what will happen when my father learns of this, right? You won't be the only one drowning down the ocean but your entire family." She breathed with a sneer on her face.
