65

The night didn’t go as Macy wanted or as she had planned.
Asher was there to check her every move and she realized that Asher didn’t mind that she could race at high speeds and that she was wild and she was sure that if Asher didn’t mind, even Richard wouldn’t.
She thought that a family like theirs would want a cultured woman who was modest and not someone like her who was wild and outgoing.
But if she had managed to do anything that night, it was to make a new fan in the person of Asher Armstrong.
She wondered what to do next and then she had an idea.
So, after they were done racing and she even won against Dela who thought she could take Macy’s car, she and Asher went back home.
She didn’t take Dela’s car because she realised that she didn’t want to make enemies in this sector because she might need them any time.
She knew her position wasn’t yet guaranteed in the city and she didn’t know what Angela’s next move would be and so, she couldn’t anger Lion or his people and that was why even though Lion kept calling her his wife, she didn’t bother correcting him because she knew his temper.
But she had told him categorically that she didn’t want a man in her life nor would she ever get married.
And he had replied that he didn’t mind waiting and while waiting, he made sure that she didn’t have any other man in her life.
Richard was on the living room on a coffee table with a lot of documents and he seems to be working when Macy and Asher walked in.
He wasn’t surprised to see then and what he said was, “you are back?” and continued with his work.
“Brother, what are you doing?
Hey, let me tell you. Macy is a good rider.
We went to avenue 15 today.
You know, it leads out of the city and doesn’t have as many vehicles since it is usually ranches on that side…” Asher started and Macy knew she couldn’t stop him and she even wanted him to recount every little detail including Lion’s possessiveness of her so that Richard could give up.
“Good you two,” Macy said and ran upstairs.
She took a bath and fell in bed with a sigh.
She decided to be wild and make Richard send her out of his home.
She didn’t wasn’t to imagine what she would do if Richard fell in love with her and she knew that she wasn’t a pure person.
In her mind, she knew that she wasn’t fit for such a good man as Richard.
She slept for the better part of that day and made sure that she woke up to eat and then went back to bed.
This too was intentional and Richard saw through it and he just smiled.
He had enough for her to eat and sleep and last her a lifetime.
Macy kept watch and took care of Mel after she came from school and tucked her in when it was time to sleep and made sure that the little one was comfortable.
She then went to her room and wore a very tight pair of leather pants and a short crop top that left very little to the imagination and topped that off with a see through jacket.
She then applied heavy makeup that made her look like a streetwalker.
She then sat and waited for Richard.
She didn’t want to leave without him at home. She wanted to make sure that he saw how she was dressed.
It was her hope that he would ask her to leave before the movie promotion started.
At around ten in the evening, Macy heard Richard’s car pull in to the garage and she waited for around ten minutes and she could see his image in her mind doing his normal routine after he returned late from work.
He was sure that he was seated at the dining table taking his supper and if he had already eaten, he already took a late night snack before bed.
She then looked at herself one more time and smiled at her scary image that had been made even more scarier by the twelve inch high heeled shoes she wore.
She walked down the stairs drawing as much attention as she could and the maid who was serving Richard and old Alex the butler were there.
They looked at her with their mouths agape because they have never seen her like this since they knew her.
“Hey? Did you have a good day?
Going somewhere?” Richard asked her before she could speak.
“Yeah. I am going out with friends,” she said though she didn’t have any friends that she could go out with.
“Okay. Take care,” Richard said and resumed his eating as if it was the most normal thing in the world to watch a woman go out at that time of the night dresses as if she works in a strip club.
Macy went and took her bike and went to a club in the downtown area of DC city and she wasn’t happy.
That wasn’t the reaction she expected from Richard.
But anyway, she had to keep up the pretense that she had things to do and so, she asked for a drink just to keep her cloccupied though she had decided never to be a heavy drinker.
Macy gave off this heavy aura that made anyone around her want to run away and thus, no one wanted to approach her.
This happened for a while until one man, heavily built but with a potbelly that was sure from alcohol approached her.
“Hey beauty, here alone?” He asked her and it was clear that he had had several.
She looked at him from hair to toes and she knew what kind of a man he was.
White make, married, late forties, three or four children, office worker. He’s a cheat and doesn’t respect his wife or women in general.
“Yeah. I am here alone,” she said and he smiled.
“May I sit next to you?” He asked and she smiled at him and he sat on the high stool with difficulty.
“How about a drink on me?” He asked and she didn’t say anything.
“Hey, a glass of what she’s having and two shots of tequila for me,” he said and the bartender served them promptly.
Macy sipped on her earlier drink without even sparing this man a glance and he continued talking even without her input.
Macy was tired and she needed amusement and she decided why not?
She thus started humoring him.
She gave him one word answers and smiled at him and the man thought that she was hwrrw he wanted her to be.
“How much do yiu charge a night?” He asked her touching her thigh under the tall counter.
She held his fingers and stopped him from exploring more and she had an urge to break the fingers but she stopped herself.
It wasn’t yet time.
“Depends with the time and place.
How much acn you offer?” She asked him with the insinuation that she was ready for whatever he wanted.
“Since I have to go back home because my old hag of a wife expects me there, how about a quickie at the back to the club?
What do you say? Fifty dollars,” he said and smiled at her and she saw rotten teeth and his breath smelt heavy of rotten tequila.
“Make it a hundred and I will give you head as a bonus,” she negotiated and he smiled.
“I like you already. I will be your regular,” he said and stood up ready to leave but hesitated.
“Okay. I have a few friends with me and I don’t want them to know that I have agreed with you because they might want you but I want you to be mine alone.
So, we will wait for a while.
Then I will excuse myself and tell them that I am going to relieve myself and when you see me go out, you follow and you will have your hundred dollars after a few minutes,” he explained and she smiled to show that she understood.
He then walked back to his table where he started talking animatedly to other men who looked just like him.
After a while, he stood up and started walking towards the back door of the bar that led to a dark alley and Macy smiled and followed.
It had been long since she had some action.
