TATTOO

OWEN'S POV

I pushed her roughly on the bed as I quickly bounced on her and we kissed each other passionately.

I disengaged the kiss and tore her blouse roughly as I yanked her bra off her exposing her two erected nipples.

She moaned softly as I pressed her boobs tight, I took off her panties and allowed my hands to do the rest.

She moaned sharply......

I placed my mouth on her nipples and sucked on them hungrily as I fingered her roughly.

She moaned but I am not in for quiet s*x, she kept on moaning as I fucked her so badly. I slammed into her uncontrollably.

One could only hear the sound of our bare bodies as I slammed into her. We continued until we both climaxed.

I got out of the bathroom with a towel tied around my waist exposing my broad sexy body.....

Without being told, I know I am super sexy and that my body alone cannot only make you drool but can also make you horny.

I saw her still on the bed with the duvet wrapped around her body, she smiled seductively at me and I scoffed.

"You were so hot honey" She said and bit down on her lip.

I faced the mirror combing my hair. Why the fuck is she smiling like I am her boyfriend? I thought to myself.

"Get out!" I said with a stern voice.

"What?" She asked in surprise as I quickly turned to her.

"You heard me!, I said get out now" I ordered as she flinched.

"But I thought you liked me." She stuttered.

I scoffed and shook my head in disbelief.

I quickly picked up a bundle of fifty thousand dollars and threw it at her face.

"Take that and get your fucked up ass out of my bed and my room right now" I yelled as she gradually picked up the scattered money.

With my face still in the mirror, I applied some cream on my body.

"What are you still waiting for bitch?, Get out of here!" I screamed as she quickly rushed off holding her shoes.

"You are so unfair you bastard!!" She yelled as she stormed out of the room.

I ran my fingers through my curly black hair and pushed them backwards.

What was she thinking? That I was going to date her??

That's silly actually, I have a girlfriend.

That's crazy right? But it is true!!

She's the only one serious in the so called relationship. I don't give a fuck about relationships.....

The truth is I really wanted to have her on the bed and I know she won't let me do that unless we are a couple.

So I befriended Ruby to fuck her, too bad I don't know how best to dismiss the damn girl.

I am already tired of her. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.

I am Owen Adams, My mom is dead but my dad is still very much alive.

Mom's death was so painful and it was the main reason why I hated the word "Love".

Though that story will be for another day.

I only have my grandma Debbie who is my father's mother and my favorite in that family.

She's one of the reasons why I live, a very cheerful and kind hearted woman.

But grandma Debbie lives in Paris, She is taking care of the family business over there.

She is getting really old and might return to the country anytime soon. But I am not in good terms with my dad, I despise him so much.

Together with his new family.

I have a younger sister though, she lives with grandma in Paris and schools there.

Her name is Claire.

I think that's enough introduction for now.

My cell phone rang loudly and I glanced at the phone's screen.

"Slut no. 2" I said out loud as I read what was written on the phone screen.

I sneered as I quickly rejected the call.

"Why can't this crazy slut just get it into her head that it was just a one night stand with no strings attached" I shook my head as I opened the drawer in front of me and picked up a pack of cigarette.

CHARLOTTE'S POV

I cat walked on the stage in my long black ball gown with stones glittering in the light.

"Good day everyone, I am your drama queen Charlotte Bernardo, Thank you!" I said as I presented before the audition judges.

I was applauded as I waved at them smiling widely.

"Your performance was quite amazing Miss Charlotte but it is quite unfortunate that you were not selected to be among the chosen ones" One of the judges said as I bowed my head dejectedly.

I walked down the platform with tears welled up in my eyes, I really needed this job.

I had borrowed money to buy the costume that I was wearing.

How do I pay Madam Nadia back?

Tears fell down my chubby cheeks as I walked back into the dressing room, I quickly wiped off my tears and sniffed.

My best friend Stella walked up to me with a sad face as she hugged me.

"You don't have to worry. You will surely be among the chosen ones in the next audition" Stella told and pats my back.

"How do I pay Madam Nadia?" I cried out.

"Don't worry, I will help you talk to Gary to lend you money" She said as I forced a smile on my face.

*****

I walked into our old almost empty apartment.

It was so quiet and I wondered why?

"Bibi! Layla!!, I am back" I yelled as I got into the house.

I saw mother, Layla and Bibi sitting in the kitchen wearing gloomy looks on their face.

I became worried.

"Hi" They chorused.

"Mother?, what happened?" I asked eagerly and moved closer to them.

Mother only forced a smile at me.

"It's nothing child, there are some left over cabbage stew and potatoes on the table" She said.

"Are you sure mother?" I asked gently as I placed my hand on her shoulder.

"Yes child, How was the audition?" She asked and I bowed my head in sadness.

"Don't worry, Everything will be okay soon" She said as she patted my hair and walked away.

I breathed heavily and turned to my little siblings.

"What happened to mother?" I asked

"The landlady just left the house few minutes ago" Little Bibi of seven years old said as Layla nudged him.

"Oh Bibi... Mother warned us never to worry sister Charlotte with that" Layla who is 10 years old muttered.

I touched their heads and hugged them.

We really needed to pay house rents, that's the reason why I needed a job.

"Don't worry kids" I said not knowing what exactly to say.

OWEN'S POV

My friends and I stepped into the noisy bar and I smiled in contention.

It's my birthday and this was the best place to celebrate it so we are just going to celebrate with my friends.

We danced as we drank ourselves to stupor, this is exactly the kinda fun I want.

I danced and rocked a new girl I met at the bar.

"Owen?" I heard a familiar voice say as I was snogging the new girl.

I turned around and saw Ruby with tears streaming down her cheeks and I grinned at her.

"You asshole!" She yelled and landed a resounding slap on my cheeks.

"Go to hell. We are done" I said as I spanked the new girl's ass.

"What?" Ruby furrowed her brows in disbelief.

"You heard me, I am done with you!!" I shouted as the crowd stared at us.

Tears dropped down her cheeks as she stared around in embarrassment and she quickly ran out of the bar.

CHARLOTTE'S POV

With my face buried in the pillow, I sulked bitterly.

How are we really going to cope? What if the landlady throws us out of the house!

I sniffed hard.

Suddenly, I heard a door crack noise and I quickly sprang up.

It was already dark and very late.....

"Who could that be? Mother and my little siblings have all gone to bed" I thought inwardly as I tiptoed outside.

I quickly turned on the lights and heaved a sigh of relief.

It was my useless twin brother Jason. He was back and as usual drunk.

He has always been the family's black sheep. All he does is steal, gamble and drink around... doing nothing all day.

"Just take a look at the time Jason?" I confronted him.

He belched loudly as the stench of alcohol filled the whole place. He staggered to the couch and fell on it heavily.

I sighed and shook my head as I locked the door properly before going back to bed or should I say going back to crying.

I really need a job urgently. Anything for my family to survive.

OWEN'S POV

I rubbed my eyes tiredly as I yawned and gradually opened them.

The alarm clock beeped and I turned it off....

I saw the stupid slut still lying on my bed like a piece of wood. I looked at her disdainfully and pushed her roughly as she opened her eyes

"Good morning" She said with a smile.

I walked up to my closet and opened the drawer and threw money at her, she furrowed her brows looking very confused.

"I don't want to see you here again" I said sternly and walked away.

Seems like she knows how the whole thing works because she left immediately.

I walked downstairs to the kitchen yawning hungrily. I quickly took a packet of crackers and munched it.

My cell phone rang aloud.

It was my friend Albert.....

"Hello man" I said

"There's a big problem, Actually you owe some people about 5 million dollars last night and they are asking for it" He said and I gasped.

"Owing some people? When?" I asked at the same time.

"Were you that drunk last night? You gambled and then you loose and..." he rambled on as I recalled everything.

I threw the glass of juice in my hand on the ground and it shattered.

"Fuck!!, What do I do now?" I said as I quickly hung up the call.

That's such a huge amount of money.

I scratched my head in confusion.

How do I give the gamblers that huge sum of money?

Right now, I am so broke.

"What are we going to do?" Albert said breaking the silence.

"Did you just say we? Of course this is Owen's cross to carry" Jim said as I eyed him angrily.

"Gosh... You're so unbelievable Jim... Be serious for once" I told still lost in thought.

"What were you thinking when you agreed to play with such people?" Jim fired back

"He was drunk Jim.... We were all drunk and you know it" Albert defended

"But I warned him last night but he refused" Jim said as I gulped nervously.

"I really need to think of something" I said

"Why not ask your dad for some cash?" Jim suggested.

I boiled in anger as I shot him a dangerous glare.

He knows how much I hate talking about that stupid man they call my dad.

"Shut up Jim!" I snapped

"Fine, Sorry guys" Jim said as he shrugged

"How about you talk to your grandmother?" Albert said as I forced a smile.

"She would want to know why I needed the money and I can't think of any possible lie to tell her" I said and suddenly my cell phone rang aloud.

Talk of the devil, It was my grandma calling.

"Hey, What's up granny?" I said trying to hide my mood.

"Happy birthday once again son" She said as I smiled broadly.

"Thank you Nana" I said as I chuckled.

"Hope you have met the family lawyer right?" She asked me as I arched my eyebrows.

"What for?" I asked anxiously

"You are of age now Owen so you can get your inheritance of about two billion dollars" Grandma said as my jaw dropped in shock.

"Really grandma? Two billion dollars?" I asked almost screaming.

My friends stared at me in astonishment.

"Yes son! You can go to the attorney for the paper signing... That is by the way, Claire and I will be coming back soon" She said as I danced around in happiness.

I quickly hung up and screamed in delight.

"What happened dude?" They asked anxiously.

"I just won a jackpot, do you know I own two billion dollars?" I asked and they gasped.

**********

I walked straight to the attorney's office with my friends trailing behind me.

The gamblers didn't stop calling as well. Once I get the money, I am going to pay them then I can enjoy the rest of the money.

Excitement filled my mind.

We got into his office and he offered us seats.

"I guess you are here for the inheritance" He said as we all nodded our heads.

"Yes of course attorney" I managed to say since excitement couldn't let me speak.

"Here!!" He said handing me some files.

"What are these for?" I asked curiously.

"Sign them Mr. Adams" He said as I quickly picked up the pen and signed the papers.

I can't wait to be given my cool cash.

"Where is the money attorney?" I asked impatiently.

"First you will have to answer the following questions" He said as we exchanged glances at each other.

Damn... what questions? I thought inwardly.

"First, What would you do with the money?" He asked and I scoffed.

"Is he being serious?" I laughed as I turned to my friends.

"Of course I have lots of investment in my head that I need to do" I said not knowing what else to say.

"OK... Can I have your marriage certificate?" He asked with his eyes fixed on the documents on his table.

"Huh? What marriage certificate?" I asked as my friends looked confused.

"Are you married and never told us?" Jim whispered to me as I pushed him off.

"Yes Mr. Owen..... You need to be married before you can have the money" He said and my eyes widened in shock.

"WHAT?" We chorused together.

**********

"Damn it grandma! You never told me I was supposed to get married before I can get the inheritance!" I cried loud into the phone's speaker.

"Oh dear son, Pardon my poor old brain, it skipped my mind" She answered politely.

I tapped my feet thinking hard.

How do I pay back the gamblers?

"Then how do I get the inheritance grandma?" I asked anxiously.

"What is the only requirement by the attorney for you to get the inheritance?" Grandma asked

"Getting married??" I said still confused.

"Then do the needful Owen!" She said as I rolled my eyes.

"What?" I yelled in annoyance.

"What do you mean What!? Aren't you old enough to get married and father a child? Besides you will get married some day too won't you?" Grandma snapped.

I gulped hard.

"Oh...No, I mean ye... Yes of course granny" I said and she giggled.

"Good. Then get married already" She laughed

OWEN'S POV

"To who grandma?" I screamed into the phone.

"What do you mean to who? What about your girlfriend Ruby? The one I saw when you and I were video chatting the other day?" grandma asked.

"Who's Ruby?" I asked already forgetting that she exists.

Grandma scoffed.

"You don't know you girlfriend's name huh?" Grandma groaned.

"Oh, Ruby! She's good too" I managed to say

"Then I can hear the wedding bells ringing." Grandma said and chuckled

"Yeah" I said and sighed

"Don't worry son, because of your wedding, I am going to come back earlier than expected" Grandma said and I gasped.

"Oh no grandma you don't have to" I said sharply

"Why not? Just leave your return as planned I mean until next month ending" I said quickly

"You don't miss your granny boy?" She asked with a sad tone in her voice.

"Not that grandma! You know I really miss you and Claire so much" I told

"We miss you too. I've got to go son, speak with you later" She replied.

"Bye granny" I said as she hung up.

I sat heavily on the couch and breathed heavily.

"Shit. This is really bad" I said to myself as I kicked the table roughly.

"What did your grandma say? Another way out?" Jim and Albert asked rushing into the house.

I shook my head in disagreement with a little touch of disappointment.

"I will have to get married before I can claim the money" I said weakly

They just stared at me with their eyes widened.

Of course they know I detest the thought of getting married and getting stuck with one woman for the rest of my life.

All in the name of marriage and love....

Bullshit....... Total disaster!

My phone rang again and it was from the gamblers this time.

Our hearts skipped, We are so in trouble.

"I think you should go reconcile with Ruby?" Jim said

"You know this is the only reasonable talk you have said since I have known you" I told

"Whatever!" Jim said and smiled

"Let's step on it guys else they might do something bad to us, They are very dangerous people" Albert said.

CHARLOTTE'S POV

I walked into the house with two filled gallons of water.

We really need a lot of water, we haven't paid the water bill and the landlady decided it was going to be fun to lock ours.

"Mother, I am done with filling the drums" I screamed to mother who was busy frying some steak at the kitchen for breakfast.

"OK child" Mother said

"Where's Jason?" Mother asked anxiously as I walked into the kitchen after dropping the gallons of water I was carrying.

I scratched my head as I made for the fridge for a glass of water.

"I don't know mother! He has gone off as usual" I sighed as Mother shook her head in disappointment.

Just then, we heard voices and Layla rushed into the kitchen panting.

Mother and I became frightened.

"What happened Layla?" Mother asked concerned.

"It is the landlady. She is here" Layla muttered as mother gasped.

"We will go talk to her" I told and summoned courage.

Mother and I walked out of the kitchen.

"Where are those wretched things? You'll be sorry by the time I am done with you guys" The landlady ranted angrily.

"Good day ma'am" We chorused

"What's so good about the day? I am here to take my money" She yelled

"Please ma'am just give us a little..." I said but she quickly cut me off.

"Just keep quiet! I've been doing that for the past two months" She shouted at me and I flinched.

"Please we will pay you before the end of the month" Mother pleaded.

"You better do because the next time I come here, I will have you useless fools thrown out of my house" She threatened.

Before we could utter a word, she already stormed out of the house.

Mother and I exchanged glances as Bibi burst into tears running into mother's arms.

I bowed my head as I patted Layla's hair softly.

Layla with her gloomy look blinked hard to stop herself from crying.

How do we even raise the money?

OWEN'S POV

We opened the car's boot as the man filled it with lots of flowers.

We closed they boot and I gave him some money and we got into the car and I drove off.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" I furrowed my eyebrows looking straight ahead at the road in front of me.

"It will definitely work, All we have to do is to go to all your ex's houses to check who is going to take you back" Jim said

"Yes Owen... You better pray that this works out" Albert said as I breathed heavily.

**********

I stood in front of Ruby's apartment door with my heart racing fast.

I just pray she accepts me so that we can get married and once I get the money, I will annul the stupid marriage.

I know it is bad to use people but I just have to..

I really need the money believe me!

I looked at the car behind me that was parked on the street, my friends were there encouraging me to go ahead.

I exhaled deeply as I knocked on the door with shaky hands.

I was holding a bunch of colorful flowers.

The door swing open..

It was Ruby, She was holding a cup of coffee and sipping it.

She stared at me in disgust.

"What are you doing here?" She asked

That was when I started singing my love song.

"Ruby darling, I have been such a fool to let a beautiful damsel like you slip off my hands. Please accept me back Ruby then we can get married this weekend" I said holding out the flowers to her.

She smiled broadly as she took the flowers.

"Thank you so much" She said happily

My hope grew....She fell for it.

I was still lost in thought when a dirty slap was landed on my cheeks by Ruby.

She quickly threw the flowers into the trashcan in front of us.

"Go to hell" She seethed and bathed me with hot coffee all over my body before slamming the door loudly in my face.
