The Pawn_Athan Ayo.
Seated in the comfort of her apartment, Jenny felt a need for a breathing space from the entanglement she had brought upon herself with Benji and his sister. She held a strong suspicion that the duo were guileful in their ways, and such folks should not be trusted. She could not trust Benji as her guts and instinct had already built up a conspiracy theory of how he must have devised Jimmy's murder only to hold her to ransom with filthy blackmails. Laura was a teen she had thought would be an instrumental asset to Benji's seemingly shady scheme. She was beginning to find trust in Laura until she caught her in that mud of lies on their outing at the tavern.
She would not make a bolt for it now; that might even throw her in shady light. She's determined to reach the root of this and bring the murderer to book. She had a plan, but she would prefer to play it close to her chest.
Benji looked the culprit, but Laura even looked the wildcard. Jenny could perceive the guile and clever scheme of the duo. They are playing pranks with my head, her thought screamed.
Deep in strategic thoughts, her solitude was about to be rattled by the interfering presence of Benji who came bearing gifts and bottles of wine.
''Babe, you're in?'' He enquired, rattling the door and bursting his way into Jenny's apartment clumsily. ''Got you some super goodies.''
Jenny stood to her feet and made to assist Benji with the double-decker packages he cradled close to his chest. She took the load off him, and instantly gazed at the content. She seemed quite impressed to find her favourite pizza muffins and mini pizza torpedoes, coupled with cup cakes and garnished with fluffy cream. She loved her cake creamy rather than the traditional iced cake. She let out a hushed scream--for once throwing caution to the wind about Benji -- then threw her arms her arms around his stocky neck and drew him closer to force a hug.
''Thank you,'' she remarked with a beam on her face as she gradually relaxed her arms on Benji. ''You've just raised a dull spirit!''
Benji, not wanting to let go, grabbed her by the waist and slid his hand around her hips to have a full clasp.
''I reserve the best for you in my world, baby,'' said Benji in his usual feminine voice while planting a deep peck on Jenny's forehead.
Benji further slid his hands beneath Jenny's bumshorts while he tossed his head around to grope for her lips. At first, Jenny was going to resist as she made an attempt to wrench herself away from Benji's grasp, but it was too late to bring the situation back to normalcy. Benji's hands were well tucked beneath her undies, where he groped his fingers around seductively. She was in turn stuck in the warmth that ensued and, this time, it was impossible to resist the urge. She buckled under the weight of his enticement; she lost control of all senses. In a fit of amorous outburst, she instantly wrapped her arms around Benji and drew him closer as though to demand more pressure from his seductive macho. She gradually grew in charge as she would, and Benji entertained her from beneath on her whims. She felt her reasons giving way to body desires again.
..........................................
Upon a hectic return from the city centre where her Avi Bank daily duties were to be observed, Jenny slowly pulled into the garage in her silky, grey-coloured saloon car. The car still bore the newness as the period she had been rewarded with such automobile facility on the back of her meritorious work ethics, also culminating in a further promotion as a senior account officer for one of the prestigious banks in the industry--Avi Bank.
Jenifer Lawrence strongly had her career ambition at the best part of her heart. With a smart and delicate meticulous attention to details, she was an outstanding member of the Avi Bank staff whose performance was almost nonpareil. It came as no surprise that she had a shelf of laurels to her name. She was becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Avi Conglomerate; however, her insatiable sexual urge that could not be sufficiently doused remained her major weakness.
Slotting her car among a fleet of other cars in the garage which was just within the same vicinity, but opposite to the condo, Jenny alighted in her silky, grey, double-breasted suit jacket, firmly clutching a folder case close to her right thigh and heels were held gingerly with the left hand as she had changed into a comfortable pair of flip flops to ease the load around her ankles while driving. She looked a bit haggard from the long drive, as she delicately took a walk across to the condo.
The sight of Laura was suddenly within eyeshot as she flung herself at Jenny and forced a hug out of the blue. Jenny almost buckled from the weight of this boisterous teen but for some strength she gathered from within.
''Whoa! Sis., trust you had a great time at work,?'' She asked cheerfully, looking straight at Jenny's astounded and haggard-looking face. ''Guess what?'' She asked curtly, expecting Jenny to take the cue.
''So, what have you got in stock this time, Laura?'' Jenny managed to ask as they walk along in sync.
''You have an exclusive invite from Ajuri to his dinner date at weekend,'' said Laura excitedly as she brandished an enveloped invite card at Jenny. ''And the shindig is going down at one of the Doherty castles uptown,'' Laura continued, examining Jenny's eyeballs and hoping to find some excitement in them.
Jenny first took a moment to examine why Ajuri--of all people--could have extended such kind gesture to her. To whom did she owe such kind gesture? Ajuri was not even a close friend; she barely knew anything about him more than the single piece of fact that he was the son of Tega Doherty, one of the controversial politicians in the country. She had never for once nursed any admiration for the spoilt Ajuri. In fact, he detested him for his lack of gallantry and treatment of this teen who came bearing the invite message. She couldn't just find the connection.
''I'm afraid I'm not interested,'' Jenny said unimpressed as she waved off Laura's outstretched arm bearing the invite card.
''Come on, sis! You gotta do this--for me,'' Laura pled. ''It's my biggest night with Ajuri and I need your presence more than ever!'' Said Laura, holding Jenny by the arm now as she paused, expectant of the affirmative from Jenny.
Overwhelmed by the pestering eyes of the teen that shone before her glaringly, she was forced to yield to Laura's incessant request.
''Okay, Laura, I'll be with you at the Doherty's,'' Jenny gave in.
''We have a deal?'' Laura asked excitedly
''Sure. Absolutely, we have a deal.'' Jenny forced more assuring words.
''Whoa! Thank you, sis.! I'm so excited now,'' said Laura as she forced another clumsy hug from Jenny.
