Episode 4

Carol (narrating)

I was startled when the boss of the hill stopped next to me wanting to give me a ride. I know very well the type of ride he wanted to give me, I'm good not to become a trafficker's mistress and go around getting beaten up.

I get home, have a shower, put on my pajamas, and lay down. I couldn't stop thinking about that Tiger guy. I know he's no good but he is too handsome. Any woman would go crazy wanting to be with him. I didn't lack the will, but I have common sense, and I think before doing something stupid. I stayed with my thoughts until I fell asleep.

I woke up, still a bit sleepy, picked up my phone and saw it was already nine o'clock, but today I'm off. On Saturdays, I don't do my cleaning work, plus there's a party tonight, so Mr. Mane won't open the restaurant for the night.

I went to the bathroom, had a long shower, put on moisturizer, and put on my panties, a casual shorts and a cool little dress because it was so hot. I made a loose bun in my hair, and put on perfume, then put on my sandals.

I went to the kitchen and found my grandmother washing dishes.

"Good morning granny," I said, giving her a kiss.

"Good morning dear, I was waiting for you to go buy fresh bread for us," she said.

"Okay, I'm going now."

I left the house and walked to the bakery. I passed by some steamers on the street, and they started to joke with me, but I ignored them, pretended it wasn't for me.

I arrived at the bakery, and was immediately faced with Tiger having breakfast at the bakery counter. I pretended not to see him.

"Good Morning, Mr. Pedro," I said.

"Good morning Carol and how is your grandmother, I heard she wasn't doing well." Said the bakery owner.

"She's improving, but we still don't know what she has, we are waiting for the test results." I replied.

"But everything will be alright girl, you just have to have faith." He said and I nodded in agreement.

"What do you want today?" He asked.

"Eight bread rolls and four cheese bread rolls." I replied, and he went to get them. I saw Tiger looking at me. When I looked at him he was staring at me, I looked away immediately. Mr. Pedro gave me my order, I paid with my card and left there, heading straight home.

"I'm here, Grandma," I said, putting things on the table.

"Good, let's have breakfast then."

We sat down and had breakfast, then my grandmother went to lie down because she wasn't feeling well, and I washed the dishes and cleaned the kitchen. When I finished everything I decided to go to Carol's house.

I left the house and went to Carol's house, on the way I met that Pipoca guy, he stopped his bike next to me and started a conversation.

"Hey brownie, yesterday you didn't give me your number because you were working, but now you're not working, give it to me, just for a chat." He said.

"You're very insistent, aren't you?" I said.

"Yes I am, and if you don't give me your number I'll find a way to get it." He said, smiling.

"Give me your phone then and I'll save my number."

He gave me his phone and I saved an old number of mine that I don't use anymore, I have even thrown away the SIM card.

"Alright, I need to go now." I said.

"Speak later, princess." He said, winking at me. All I needed was to be invisible.

I arrived at Dani's house and entered.

"Dani!" I called out.

"Hey girl, come in." She replied.

I went in and sat on the sofa with her.

"Hi aunt." I said to her mother.

"Hi Carol, how is your grandmother, dear?"

"She's a bit better." I replied, and she went to the kitchen.

"You're not working today, friend?" Dani asked.

"Yes, thank God." I replied.

"You're going to the party with me tonight, right?" She asked, very excited.

"Not at all, you know I don't like those things." I replied.

"Oh friend, please. Today is important for me. Skinny guy is going to introduce me to everyone, can you imagine the face of those bitches, they will die of envy." She said laughing, and I smiled too.

"Ok, I'll go, but I won't be back too late, my grandmother is not feeling well enough for me to leave her alone to sleep." I said.

"Alright, friend. But you look strange. Do you want to tell me something?" She asked, raising her eyebrow.

I told her everything that happened, she was shocked.

"Girl, you're causing quite a stir, Pipoca is a hottie and Tiger is a Greek God. In fact, he must have liked you because I've never seen him coming onto other girls, they're always the ones chasing him." She said.

"I know that, that's why I want to keep my distance from both of them." I replied.

"But did you really give Pipoca your number?"

"I gave him an old number that doesn't exist anymore. Hahaha."

I said and we laughed together. I spent the day with her, but called my grandmother to see how she was and she said she was feeling better. When I looked at the time it was almost six o'clock in the evening, so I went home to see if my grandmother needed anything, and then got ready for the party.

Tiger (narrating)

I woke up to my phone alarm, went straight to the bathroom, had a quick shower, and put on a pair of jeans and a black tank top, black sneakers, put on my perfume, took my rifle and descended.

"Good morning son," my mother said.

"Good morning mum, I'm already leaving." I said, and she just shook her head in disapproval. I went to Pedro's bakery and ordered a “pastel” (pastry filled with meat or cheese) and a coffee with milk and ate there at the counter.

When I saw the voodoo practitioner coming in with a little dress, I got so turned on, man the dress outlined her body and her butt, all perky, she arrived and spoke with Pedro and I just watched, she gave me a glance but when she saw that I was staring at her, she looked away and pretended not to notice me. I don't know what it is about this girl but she messes with me in a way that scares me. I've never felt anything like this.

She left and her perfume lingered in the air, oh what a smelling girl.

I left the bakery and went to the warehouse to check a drug shipment that arrived for the party, then helped to distribute it.

I was at my table separating things when Pipoca came in all cheerful.

"Hey, did you see a bird on the street?" I asked.

"Nothing like that, saw a hottie." He replied, smiling.

"I got the girl's number, the waitress at Mr. Mane’s place." He said, all smiles, and this pissed me off.

"How did you get it?" I asked, trying to hide my anger.

"I met her on the street, and she gave it to me. I'm going to text her now." He said.

Just as I thought, she's just another slut like any other, after money and status.

He picked up his phone and started texting.

"Weird, the messages aren't reaching." He said and I just watched.

He then started calling, I saw him turn red with anger.

"What's the matter man?" I asked.

"Do you believe that the calculated girl gave me a number that doesn't exist, she'll pay for this." He said, pissed off and I laughed at his face.

"What's up, Tiger, are you going to make fun of me?" He asked, peeved.

"Of course not, I'm just finding it funny, the girl played you good."

"That calculating bitch will pay for this." He said.

"Calm down man, don’t do anything to the girl, if she doesn’t want you, leave her alone." I said seriously, staring at him, he looked at me and didn't say anything.

I left the spot and it was already getting dark, I went home to take a shower and change clothes for that party that's going to be lit.
