Inside a Mercedes Benz in front of Motel Flamingo, a man was on the phone having a heated conversation. He ended the call and within a few minutes a woman got out from one of the rooms and approached the car in a hurry. She knocked and waited patiently to be invited in. The window glass was lowered. She heard a clicked sound before she opened the car and sat down, the window glass was sealed back up again. She turned to look at the man’s face, but her eyes rested on her thigh. The tension she felt coming from him was suffocating making breathing very difficult for her to do.
“Are you toying with me “he spoke slowly, anger laced in his tone, he was annoyed and pissed making him very frightening?
“No Ray, I will not do that to you, we are grateful for everything you have done for us" She replied with a slow and forgiving voice.
“Then why the wait “
“I just need more time to prepare her……. “
“To hell with you" Ray chuckled "Time, did you say time. I have been paying outrageous bills from clothes, room service and your accommodation for the past two weeks, I want her now “
“Ray it me, you know I will never do you wrong “
“My dearest Mica, you would not dare because you know what I can do. Do not take me for a fool, I know what you have been up to “
Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, nervous and scared she licked her dry lips “What are you talking about " acting innocent to the question.
“Crazy bitch, you think you are smart, but you have forgotten these are my streets, nothing can be done without me knowing about it, do not mess with me Mica. I have paid dearly for that girl, now go in and bring her out or I will order them to bring her “
Ray’s eyes settled on a Van parked deeply in the motel’s alley, it was so camouflaged that she would have missed it if not for the head light they flashed on and off to signal to their boss they were ready whenever he is.
“You have been spying on me all this while, am not a criminal you know “
“You hold my priced possession and am protecting it from harm “
“Ray, you know we have not talk about her price yet and my niece is a very beautiful virgin girl. I get new and tempting offers every day, if there is one thing, I have learned from businesses on the street over these years is words means nothing “
“You really want to play that game with me" he threatened.
“Vivian is the most sought-after girl; she is expensive and deserves to be worshipped. That is why I will hold an auction for her as her farewell. The highest bidder wins, that is the deal no more no less “
Ray stared deeply at Mica, he was impressed by her sharpness and her manner to handle herself when faced with danger, she has guts and that was something he has not seen before, for the first time in his eyes he studied her as a woman undressing her, she cleaned up good, her aura was mature beauty and he admired her. Fearless, calculative, merciless with a working brain, now that is a deadly combination.
“And the money I have wasted on you “
“We both know that is chicken change for you “
“Right, but money is money and I have to get something to exchange that chicken change, there is no free dinner “
“I get it, I will pay you back every dime after the auction “
“Who said anything about money, I gave out cash I will collect it in kind, make sure your phone is on at all times, will call you when I need you “
“But Ray am not part of the deal, am not a hooker “
“You will be anything I say you will be because you own me, and you are mine when I call now get out “
Mica stood outside watching as the Car disappeared into the night. Her face frowned, who does he thinks he is to demand sex from her as payment. She does not sell herself to trash like him but judging from this situation she does not have a choice in the matter. To hell with this moron, by tomorrow night she will sell off Vivian and will be off to spend the rest of her life in bliss. She turned to see the Van still parked there cursing him more in her mind she made her way back to her room. The pitter patter of the shower told her Vivian has having her bath, on her twin bed was a silky night wear, Mica smiled to herself all the shopping and pampering will soon pray off and she will be rich, a rich sexy woman.
“Vivian, am stepping out again, need anything “
“No Aunty am ok “
“As soon as I step out lock the door behind you, this place is dangerous “
“Am sorry, I will “
Vivian stepped out from the shower, and Mica could not stop herself from envying, from her skin glittering, her eyes lovely making her small face so innocent , her lips so plum, down to her chest and her waist to her round hips and her legs which was mesmerizing , she sure took after her mother , she hates to admit it but Vivian is a beautiful young lady who could easily marry into a well-endowed family or be a star on the silver screen but she does not want to waste her youth on her. She has to catch up on all life took from her over the years, this is the way to get her money quicker and also payback to those fools for making her poor. She composed herself and went out from the room to make appointments and final decision to tomorrow’s auction.
