Chapter 46 The Platinum Card
SAN FRANCISCO
Logan walked into the room looking blank with his eyes giving off no emotion. “Here.” He threw a pill sachet at Jovy.
Since they arrived at the cabin four days ago, it had been bouts of sex and he couldn’t help to take chances with her. She appeared too naive for both of their good. He has no intention of becoming a father, not now and not later either. To avoid such mess, he had sent one of his men to get the pill in the early hours of the morning.
“What is this?” Jovy asked as she looked up at him.
“Use the pill and don’t question me further.” His response was sharp and fast.
Jovy gulped hard as she stared hard at the pills. She already knew better than to question him and she had been doing all she can to avoid getting him angry. All she wants to do is please him so much and do all she can to be on his mind. However, she was more like his play thing.
Jovy should have known better considering the fact that he wasn’t interested in her opinion on the trip in the first place. All day long, she was confined to the house and when he returns all he does is fuck her till her legs couldn’t carry her anymore.
She motioned out of the room and headed towards the kitchen to get water and take the pill. Tears sting her eyes when she returned back to the room. Jovy noticed with her side eye that he was about heading out again.
“Can I get to move around the city? I have never been around here before…so I might as well take advantage of the opportunity.” Jovy said as she settled on the bed after summoning enough courage to ask him.
Logan weaved through the closet searching for something to wear. He stayed quiet not wanting to give her a response. Thoughts of her playing him and trying to escape flashed through his mind. But at the same time, Logan trusted his men and he knew there was a limit to how she can get to run off.
Jovy waited as she prayed fervently that he wouldn’t prevent her from leaving the house. She wanted to feel the air outside of the cabin just like a bird.
“What do you intend to do?” Logan sounded like the last thing he wanted to do was have this conversation with her.
Jovy shrugged. “I just want to see the city.” She replied.
Logan picked out a dark grey suit and pants. He leafed through his wallet and pulled out a platinum card and handed it out to her. “You should be able to get whatever it is you want. One of my men will take you wherever you want. The pin is 1540.” And without sparing her a glance, he walked out of the room and slammed the door in the process.
Jovy stared at his receding back with her mouth agape. She wanted to put a call through to best friend so bad, but she knows Alice would be quite busy in class. Jovy decided to wait until later to give her friend the whole gist. She practically ran to the bathroom to get dressed.
Jovy didn’t want to waste too much time. She tried to slap her cheek just to confirm if she had not just been imagining things. Initially her intention wasn’t to receive any money from Logan but she only wanted to leave the confines of the house and enjoy the mandatory vacation she has been brought to.
Jovy opted in for a shirt, jean and sneakers that she had brought along with her. She felt ready to explore as she equipped herself with her bag, her phone and the platinum card. She headed out of the house in excitement.
A car was already parked in front of the house waiting for her. Jovy let out an intentional giggle at the special treatment. She wanted to speak to Alice so bad.
“Where would you like to go ma’am?” The assigned driver asked.
Jovy sighed as she looked out the window. “I just want to do a mini tour round the city. Or a probably a mall not far from here would do too.” She told him.
“Alright ma’am.”
As the car moved out of the house premises into the street, Jovy stared out of the window like a young child heading to a park with all full anticipation. She lowered the car window glass and she put her head out to enjoy the feeling of the fresh air. It felt like forever since she had been outside.
Not too long the driver dropped by a mall. “You can get all that you want here. I will be waiting.” He told her.
Jovy was too lost in awe to mind what he was telling her as she stepped out of the car in a rush. The mall was extremely full with so much and it had her wishing Alice was there with her. Just as Jovy pulled out her phone to drop a message for her best friend, her FaceTime came on and it showed Alice as the caller.
‘Yo bitch!’ Alice screamed.
Jovy laughed happily. ‘What the hell, Alice? Aren’t you meant to be in school?’ She inquired.
Alice let out a snort. ‘You aren’t the only one who can skip school for some dick.’
‘Are you at David’s place?’
Alice threw her hands up in the air. ‘Yass! I got dick pumped all night.’
‘The typical you!’ Jovy laughed really hard.
‘Tell me one thing baby, did you or did you not get fucked last night?’
Jovy grinned widely as a blush spread through coloring her cheeks. ‘Well if you put it that way, just maybe.’
Alice laughed out like a maniac. ‘I thought so too.’
‘Guess what Alice!’ A wide smile lingered on her face.
Alice rolled her eyes. ‘You should know I really suck at guessing. But I sure can tell you are very happy. You are glowing girl!’
Jovy chuckled as she pulled out the platinum card Logan had given her and showed it to the screen.
Alice eyes widened in shock. ‘Is this what I think it is?!’
‘You bet!’
‘Oh my goodness! Shit!’ Alice yelled.
‘Are you okay baby?!’ David’s voice came up from behind her.
‘Yeah! I am fine.’ Alice nodded her head and pulled his head down for a kiss.
‘Hey Jovy.’ He waved when Alice let him free.
‘Hey.’ Jovy waved back timidly, giving Alice hard glare after he left.
‘What?’ Alice blurted out with an innocent look on her face.
‘Crazy girl!’ Jovy laughed.
Alice sat up properly and she put her face close to the phone screen. ‘So, tell me how good was the fuck last night for you to deserve a platinum card?’ She winked.
‘I had only asked to step out for some nice fresh air but he had asked what I intended to do in the first place. Out of the blues he handed me the card.’ Jovy explained.
‘You are such a lucky bitch!’ Alice mouthed which made Jovy let out a hearty giggled. ‘This means you can spend whatever amount you want. It doesn’t have a limit!’
‘Technically.’ Jovy nodded.
Alice rubbed her palms together as she wolf whistled. ‘Then let’s do this!’
Jovy stared at her fiend with a confused look on her face. ‘Wait…what are you talking about?’
Alice snapped her fingers. ‘Come on girl! It only implies that we are going wild on his card together!’
‘Are you kidding?’
‘Do I look like it? I am staying right here till you finish. We both have enough time to spend all of his money on whatever you want!’
Jovy couldn’t believe her ears when Alice said she would maintain the FaceTime till she was done. It almost felt like she was right next to her and it made her even happier. Following her best friend’s advice, Jovy decided to get as much of everything she wanted as she could knowing she might never get a chance at such again.
‘Jovy Finlay shouldn’t miss this opportunity!’ Alice had said.
So for the sake of not missing this opportunity, Jovy Finlay decided to seize the one she had for the moment.
