LESLEY PERKINS’ POV
“Don’t stay out long.” I say as I peck Gary.
“I wouldn’t dare, I hate to stay away from my sexy little Brunnie.” I grin, gave him a quick hug before he left the suite.
He’s gonna be away all day cos he’s having a business conference with some of his clients here in Atlanta.
I sit on the bed and stare into space. I’m breaking so many rules; Don’t ever love someone, I’m breaking that. Don’t make any friends, I already broke that rule. Oh God!, what rule is next!.
I can hardly still believe I’m Gary’s girl. Maybe it’s all a roller coaster of emotions but I can’t help it.
I can’t seem to think straight whenever I’m around him, I try so much to resist him, but just the slightest touch from him makes my skin tingle, just the intensity of his gaze makes me forget my decision.
If only I can control the way I feel, then maybe I wouldn’t fall for him.
My phone buzzes and I took it out. Stacy is calling me on face-time. I smile excitedly and swipe to receive. I lay on the bed and prop up the phone with a small pillow.
“Hey Birdie!!” She squeals, exposing all of her teeth.
“Hey psycho.” I smile at her.
“I’ve missed your lame ass so very much….” She squeal.
“Same here bitch, we’d be heading back tomorrow” I reply.
“I’m at Gary’s, and Hazel is out in her room playing the piano, she’s real good at it though. kid’s a psycho, always have a large appetite for baked snacks”. She huffs and I laugh.
“How’s Jeff?.” I’ve never seen her boyfriend cos he barely stops at stacy’s apartment.
“He’s been out since two days, no calls or text. I just feel he’s cheating on me.” Stacy rakes her hand at her hair.
“Oh c’mon Stace, you know the nature of his job, could be his tied up. He would soon call okay?” She shrugs.
“I hope so. I love Jeff so much that it hurts…. I won’t be myself if he dumps me.”
“Nah, he ain’t gonna do that to you”.
“So how was the party?.” She asked changing the topic. I sigh remembering all that had happened in the party. I told her everything excluding the part I had almost passed out.
“Wait, you mean that bitch Brie confronted you.. jeez I wish I was there I would have given her my super punch on her face, how dare her!” She fumed. I cup my cheeks and smile.
“And that fucked up brother of Gary, Gary needs to watch his back. He’s got an enemy in his closet.” She continues.
I hear the door shut close on the other end and Hazel’s calling for stacy.
“Oh jeez, here comes Miss trouble..” She roll her eyes.
“Stacy…. who are you talking to….”
“No one.”
“Stacy….. let me speak to her.” I tell her, laughing quietly. She huffs.
“Fine, Hazel it’s Lesley on the phone….. you wanna speak to…..”
“Lesley!!…..” Hazel shrieked in excitement as her face popped on the screen.
“Hey sweetie!..” A wide smile spread on my face. I miss her a whole lot.
“I’ve missed you so fuckin much” She squealed. Oh jeez, how can a kid her age use the f word.
“I’ve missed you so very much sweetheart. I can’t wait to get back, hope you enjoying Stacy company.” Hazel roll her eyes dramatically.
“Just a weeny bit Lesley…. she always get the cookies burnt, I have to stick to eating candies cos it ain’t tasty. Tastes like sand mixed with pebbles, yuck!”
“What the fuck kid… my cookies are always tasty” Stacy says feigning hurt.
“I didn’t say they weren’t stacy… but anytime you bake cookies I remember there are candies In my closet.” I chortle loudly as Hazel roll her eyes at her.
“When will you be back Lesley, it’s seems like you’ve been gone forever!”. She pouts.
“I’m gonna be back tomorrow Hazel…. and we’d bake cakes when I get back okay….. pinky promise” I say and held out my little finger.
“Okay Lesley, Say Hi to. Dad for me. ” I nod and she blows me a kiss.
“Okay sweetie. Don’t give Stacy a hardtime okay..”
“She’s already making me go insane Lesley” Stacy groans.
“Okay Hazel I have to go now okay, do be a good girl…”Hazel grins.
“I’d try.” She winks. Winking seems to run in their blood.
I had small talk with Stacy before I get off the phone. I went over to the kitchen to microwave the left over pasta I had earlier made. I ate up and began to bake tasty snacks, Gary might be in need of coffee and snacks when he
gets back.
*******
OUR CAR DROVE out of the airport, two cars trailing behind us. We finally arrived at Newyork.
We got home minutes later and I and Gary step out. The security men bow in greeting as we walk in. We enter the lift and I press the button for Hazel’s apartment. The doors closed and I lean against the wall, Gary watching me intently. I look up at him and roll my eyes.
“What now?” I ask, scrunching my lips into a pout. I placed both hands either side of me, caging me.
“Can’t I look at you whenever I want to huh?”. I roll my eyes.
“A quick kiss won’t hurt you know.” He grins and lean in. I slide down and escape from him as the door opens. I smirked at him he run his hand through his hair.
“Naughty!.” He groans as we walk up to Hazel’s apartment. I turn the door knob and walk in. Stacy and Hazel were playing chess. Hazel almost brought down the house with her screams when she saw us. I hugged her and kissed her hair. She hugged Gary too. Stacy gave me a quick hug and nodded to Gary in greeting.
“Huh, so I’d leave you ladies to yourselves.” He pecked me on the cheek and left the room.
“Oh Lesley finally I will get to eat your snacks.” Stacy rolled her eyes and I laughed.
“Okay munchie, let me shower first okay.” She nods as she go Into her room.
“So how was your trip.”She asks as she plump down on the couch. I sit beside her.
“It was great, but I can’t just seem to understand why those fatheaded New Yorkers can’t let Gary be, always taking annoying videos and pictures of us” I blurt in exasperation. Stacy giggles.
“C’mon Lesley, everyone loves good things. And they don’t mind killing to get it. Now where are the stuffs I asked you to bring. I huff…. I had totally forgotten.
“Am sorry Stacy Gary never let me out of his sight. I couldn’t even get out of the hotel without seeing ten of Gary men trailing behind me”. Stacy chuckled.
“What do you expect…. he’s the hottest guy in Newyork and so protection is his first priority.” I shrug.
“umm…. so I talked to Gary about spending more time with Hazel and he agreed we could go out to somewhere cool with Hazel…. could you come along?”. Stacy widen her eyes.
“I don’t wanna intrude you know”. I placed my bag on the couch and began to unpack.
“oh come on Stacy it’s fine… and its gonna be fun…. please”. I pout.
“okay…. now stop making that ugly face” I chuckle. Stacy reached for my bag and brought out the pack of condoms.
“What the fuck….. you didn’t use this?” I roll my eyes at her.
“Woah…. that’s quite unheard of… going out with a guy as Gary and you know not…..” She smirks.
” or….. did he hit it bare?” I huff
“Not now Stacy…. we might have done couple of crazy stuffs but am not ready for this now”. She shrugs. And place it among my things and pick out a pair of of heels.
“Holy shit…. Lesley!….. do you know how much this costs?”.
“I don’t know….. Eva chose them all.”
“jeez…. am so keeping this”. I roll my eyes and stand up making my way to the ensuite as Stacy went through the rest stuff.
Anonymous
I chortled in anger as I listened to the dimwit blabbering on and on.
“I never thought you would once be begging for my mercy Bob, I mean, you always had this aura of pompousness around you, now look at you….” I sweep my hand down his figure. He’s shivering and had only his boxers on.
“W-we could sort this out… c-c’mon, just let me go! please, I will make sure you are granted the deal!.” I scoff in annoyance, fuckin bastard. I clenched the cuban cigarettes tightly inbetween my teeth.
“What makes you think I would trust you..”
“You … could count on me…. we’ve been pals in this deal for ages now, reconsider this please…..”. I smiled.
“Friends or foes, you can’t fuck with me and leave unhurt.” I signalled to a guard and he comes with a laptop.
“Now, log into your business account and transfer all your damn billions into mine” He widens his eyes, shivering badly.
“C’mon Bob, be a good boy and do that, time is money..” I drawl. He shivers in fear as he types in his password and did as I asked. I smile and nod at one of my men. He goes to the back of the asshole. He covers his eyes tight and before he could scream slit his throat. Blood rushes out like water as he struggles to breath. I bring out my gun and shoot him twice on the head. His head slump on his chest…. blood pooling around. I pull out my gloves and hand the gun to my men.
“No one fucks up with me and go scot free.” I chuckle as I walk out of the slaughter house.
