Chapter 6

when it comes to computers; hacking and stuffs, Kemi was as dumb as a rock. So no one could blame her feeling dizzy while watching David and Ivonne do their thing.

     Well David was the one typing furiously at the keyboard while Ivonne stood behind him, staring daggers at the screen.

     It had been over 2 hours since they got here. After explaining everything to David, he ran up the stairs into his study, sat on his chair and began searching for Nelson.

     Feeling a little thirsty, she quietly left the room, unsure they even noticed.

     She stayed there for a while, looking around in the kitchen, soon when she marries David, they'd leave the country... She still didn't tell Ivonne about it. But right now, she was caught up in her own mess.

     She glanced down on her engagement ring and basked in it.

     Right from the day she set eyes on David in that conference room 6 years ago after her Dad had partnered with Johnson's skin care company, she had the feeling that things were going to change.

     Although, he was only in the company for a year, he made sure to woo her senseless and each attempt left her breathless.

     Sure they had some problems along the way, with Ivonne being the biggest one of all.

     She acted like a mother hen, soo protective of her elder brother, at the same time, a bitch to her elder sister and a demoness to the staffs.

     Kemi was ready to face her head on but when she see say water pass garri, she mellow down go settle things.

     It was best to be friends with Ivonne than be in good terms with Mrs. Johnson.

     Filling up two extra glasses, she took them in a tray upstairs and set them on the far end of the desk.

     Na wa for IT ooo.

     Neither David nor Ivonne moved from their position.

     “ any lead?” she asked after a while.

     “ Nothing ”. David replied. “ This guy is so clean. It's like he's not even a person because I can't find anything. Just like he puffed out of the surface of the earth”.

     “ Bank accounts? Social Media?”

     “ Nothing ” Ivonne groaned.

     “is there anything else we can do to find him?” Kemi asked.

     They both thought for a while.

     “No.”David spoke first.

     “Not that I know of”.

     “ oh, maybe we could try going back to the club, where you found him... Where he found you... Wait, who found who?”.

     “ Kemi, that is not important right now. But its obvious he found me, seeing the way he took advantage of me. But again, not right now and there is no way I'm going back to that club”.

     “ why not?”. David asked.

     “ it's a good way to lure him out”.

     “ because ” Ivonne stressed the word, turning her head to look them in the eye.

     “ Because he would get the idea that I'm desperate ”.

     As if planned, Kemi and David folded their arms and spoke together, “ you are desperate”.

     “ That doesn't mean I should let everyone know”.

     “ wait ooo, are you suddenly self-conscious?”. Kemi asked and couldn't stop the smile that invaded her face.

     “ ha! I think I'm going to enjoy this”. Ivonne could hear the smile in his voice.

     “ I'm not self-concious, I think I'd rather call it 'saving my reputation' ”. She said through gritted teeth as she paraded the room.

     “ uh huh”. David said unconvinced. “ so you wan dey form innocent when you be V. I. P for club”.

     “look at the kettle calling the pot black”. Ivonne muttered in disgust.

     “ oh, my clubbing days are over. I got a girl, yo, I'm getting married”.

     “ This isn't about you, or you ” she pointed to Kemi. “ this is about me. I need that guy like yesterday!”.

     “ Then you better get your ass in that club like right now”. She glanced at her watch. “ it's just 4pm, you still got time to go shop for a super sexy outfit”.

     “ wear a red mini skirt” David suggested. “ Red suits you really well”.

     “oh and a black crop top that hugs your big boobs. Make sure it has a long v neck”. Kemi chipped in.

     “ then put on black make-up. The combination just screams... Evilly hot!”. David groaned.

     “ don't forget to wear your hair into two ponytails. You'll walk in there looking like a hot herbalist looking for a sacrifice”.

     “ herbalist?”

     “ Red and black”.

     “oh” he chuckled.

     “ Enough!” Her ears might as well start bleeding if they continued.

     David stood from the chair and walked over to Ivonne. “ I know you don't want to go back there. But we have no choice. Well... You have no choice. You want that company so bad, go. To. That. Club. ”.

     “ I am not going back to that club and that is final!”.

     Oh my God, look at that girl.

     They way she moves and dance ni ooo

     I can't lie.

     Whine poko, go down poko

Ivonne moved her head to the beat of the music. This was her favourite song for the night. She whirled the bar stool around to face the crowd dancing right in front of her.

She'd been here for over 30minutes and still no sign of Nelson, but other guys had approached her due to her outfit.

She dressed like a hot herbalist looking for a sacrifice. She mentally palmed her face.

Why did she let them talk her into this? If she had known he wasn't going to show up, she would have dragged Kemi here with her.

Turning her back to the crowd, she faced the bar, eyeing the drinks as he throat suddenly went dry.

“ want a drink?”. The bar tender asked, well he practically yelled so he could be heard.

After what happened Friday night? No thanks. No be me and you.

Ivonne slowly shook her head. This was going to be the longest night ever filled with boredom.

“ Hi”. Someone said beside her.

“ Not interested”. She replied without turning to face him.

“oh c'mon. I'm sure you're bored here. Let's go dance”. He offered. His voice filled with mischief.

“Go away!”. Instead, he slid into the stool beside her. Ivonne groaned silently, she wasn't here for anyone else beside Nelson amd she was sure as hell the person who was bugging her wasn't him.

She turned and was immediately smitten by his beauty. His brown eyes shone brightly, his hair was cut low to the roots and neatly shaped. His thick eyebrows that almost joined together was appealing in her sight. He had chubby cheeks, full lips and a pin nose ring.

He smiled when he noticed she was staring and damn his smile, it was gorgeous.

“ I get that a lot”. He flashed her a cocky grin as she looked away.

“ I can see why”.

“ so, what is a pretty girl like you doing here all alone?”.

Did she mention he had fair skin? Well he did!

“ what is a cute guy like you doing here all alone? Careful, you might get attacked on the way home”.

He laughed. A cute laugh that caused her to face him. What a gorgeous man he was!

“looks like the tables have been turned against me”.

“ uh huh”.

“ why don't we get something to drink? Say, beer?”.

“ so I can sign another contract? No thanks”. She could see the confusion on his face, he seemed to be struggling to understand what she said. “ I mean, no. I can't drink. Not tonight”.

“oh? And why is that?”. He leaned towards her. His eyes glancing down to hers exposed cleft.

“My face is up here” she snapped and he couldn't stop the blush that crept up his face.

“sorry, it's just that your twins seem to be wanting my attention, if you get what I mean”.

Oh she did get what he was trying to say.

“ No, you're not getting in my pants”.

His laughter filled her ears. “ whoa! That was so straightforward. Seems like you don't enjoy foreplay ”

“ I'm not discussing that with you”.

He raised his hand in total surrender. “whatever you say Ma'am” after a while, he asked “are you by chance waiting for somebody?”.

Ivonne arched a brow at him.

“ if you're waiting for a guy, let me know. I don't like to touch another man's girl. It's not in my nature to fight, I might have a good body but trust me, it's not up for a fight”.

She rolled her eyes and stood from the Stool. It seems like Nelson wouldn't be showing up today, even if she still wanted to wait, she was already feeling tired and sleepy.

“ Are we leaving now?” The stranger asked and Ivonne turned to glare at him. She could see the way he shivered in fear and anticipation and she loved it.

“We?”. She asked as her expression softened.

“ yeah we. Unless you don't want me over, I'm cool with that. But then you'll have to give me something else”. He rushed his words and with each word he spoke, she could see he was holding his heart at hand. He was obviously scared of asking but still asked anyways.

Ivonne thought for a while “and what exactly might that be?”. She really was curious to know.

She watched him leave the stool as he moved closer to her. “ can I maybe get a kiss?”.

She arched a brow, he was in no position to give conditions. “ No?”.

He paused. “No? What do you mean no?”.

“ You don't know the meaning of no? Oh, how dumb!”.she said rather dryly.

“ of course I know the meaning of no, I'm just asking why you said no”.

Grabbing her pause from the counter, she held his gaze, “ because I can”. With that, she walked past him making sure to hit his shoulder with hers along the way. Once outside, she spotted Christopher and made her way to him.

“ wait”. She heard the strangers voice and groaned.

"what?”. She snapped, turning back to face him. She could see him perfectly as it was bright. Not just the moon brightening everywhere, the street lights were lined up in each block like a light festival.

“ can I at least get your name?”. He muttered. “ I won't take no for an answer”. His lips curved in a small smile.

“but you'll take what I give you, and right now, you're getting nothing”. She turned to leave.

“My name is Timi by the way. Just wanted you to know. I'll be here Monday, just in case”. She heard him say before she got into the car.

Ivonne took out her phone and Kemi's call immediately came in.

“ you're so dead when I see you tomorrow”. She sneered as Christopher started the car.
