"Let stay here for a while, Gideon is picking us up, he'll be here soon." Enoch said when we got to the bus stop, making me wonder why he called Gideon to come.
"But is he not supposed to be at work? Why bother him when we can just take a cab instead." I said, knowing Enoch was just going to order Gideon around.
"I know he should, but don't worry he's here already" Enoch said, pointing to a black Rang Over. which got me thinking.
"Who's car is that, what do they call it?" I said with surprise writing all over my face.
"It's called Rang Over, and it belongs to the officer Gideon is to drive around for today, so I called him and arrange for him to pick us up, let get in." He said smiling mischievously.
I got into the car without farther question, even though I was astonished by the luxurious decor in the car.
----------
At Mama Lee, a popularly know restaurant and bar, located off the Kumasi - Cape Coast road in Yamoransah, Gideon parked the car at the section reserved for VIPs. " I wonder why nobody said anything to us, maybe his boss has been coming there so they knew him already." I thought.
We sat at a table at the very end of the restaurant, I looked around and noticed our table was the only one at that place and the other tables were some feet away from us. Infact the area looked more appealing than the other side, just like that of the VIP areas in some restaurants.
We started eating when the food we ordered was brought to us, and as usual Gideon was not with us. He got himself a different table and ordered for himself some snacks after seeing to it that what we ordered was brought to us.
I didn't know, but sometimes, Gideon's behavior makes me think of him as Enoch's personal assistant or something close to that. I knew sooner or later, am going to find out what the relationship between them is.
Half an hour after we started eating, a lady who looked so bossy entered the restaurant, demanding to be given a table at the VIP area, her request was declined by the attendant, saying the place was fully booked and she can only get a seat at the standard area.
She got mad and mach her way up to the VIP section and saw us seated at our table, only then, did the situation got worse. She turned from her trucks and started walking to us. At first, I thought she was coming to me, because she was familiar.
She walked to Enoch's side and gave him a look I still don't understand, before looking at me with a fake smile plastered on her face.
"Hi Mr, I see you are not alone, but I don't think you came with my sister, so can I have a seat with you guys." She said with a puppy looking face.
"Get the hell out of here now, if you don't want to be thrown out." Enoch said in-between his teeth, looking so angry than I've ever seen him be.
"Hay! calm down will you, I didn't come here because of you I promise, I didn't even know you were here, I just came to eat, but I think I won't be able to, but at least introduce me to your...?" she said, pointing towards me.
"Friend." I continue her unfinished sentence.
"Oh I see, I didn't even see you, how are you doing, and how is that your chubby fiance, I heard he left you for your friend, and they even traveled out of town. Is that why you are here, searching or mingling." she said, turning to me.
"I didn't know you care so much for me, infact am okay now that you're here, and that chubby fiance of mine has a name, Edward if you are forgetting. And yes, he disappeared with my friend who was just like you, but that's not why am here, because am still rejecting proposal. What about you." I said to her sarcastically.
"What do you mean me, am okay, can't you see." She said, toweling her flat body.
" Oh I see, But I also heard all your friends are married with children long time, so when is your wedding coming on? I think I might get a partner at your wedding party, do invite me ok, I'll marry when you do." I was being sarcastic, not because I was angry, but because she brought up the issues with my fiance, when I know she contributed to the situation.
" Will you go now or you still want me to call the security, so they can throw you out of here." I heard Enoch's voice from the opposite side of my seat.
The lady gave both Enoch and I an angry look saying; " You'll pay for this" before turning to leave, swaying her shapeless hips in shame.
" Gideon!" I heard Enoch's commanding voice calling, making Gideon almost choke on what he was chewing, but he still managed to run to our table without complain.
" I want her out of here now, you know what to do. " Enoch ordered Gideon, and he turned and rush to the bar attendant who took him to a room I think belongs to the manager of the restaurant, without question, making me feel lost.
" Do you know that girl? Who is she to you, why does she know a lot about you." Enoch asked me, this time, with a calm voice and an expressionless face, which told me he was suppressing his anger.
"Hah! yah, I know her. Her name is Easter, she's my school mate from secondary school, and she was the school mother of the girl who went with Edward." I answered when I came out of the shock I was in front earlier.
"Oh really, so shameless, such a witch." Enoch said between his teeth, but of course I heard him clearly.
" And you? How do you know her, and who's she to you, and she mentioned her sister, which one? I don't think she has any. " I asked, being inpatient.
" So many questions at once hah? She's no one to me ok, she's just a social climber who wants to be with me, always using her sister who's close to me as an excuse just to get near me, but I'll rather be alone than be with her. They are not even real sisters, just friends." Enoch explain, smirking hough out.
" And her sister, who's she, do I know her too? " I asked, wanting to know more.
" I don't think you know her. She's no one special, I'll introduce her to you one day. If she doesn't introduce herself." Enoch replied, saying the last sentence under tone, but my ears got that as well.
I noticed there was more to what just happened, but he was just trying to play safe by not telling me much.
We took out time eating, drinking and chatting after the lady, Easter was driven out of the restaurant by the manager. After a while, we decided to step out and if possible go somewhere else before returning home.
Gideon took the lead and went to the car to start it, immediately he saw Enoch and I get up from our seat with Enoch helping me stand by holding on to my hand. We walked hand in hand towards the car and I thank God we did.
I was descending the little steps at the entrance of the restaurant when I felt something holding on to my dress at the lower part to the floor, making me trip to fall.
Enoch swiftly grabbed me by the waist and hugged me to himself, but not a second later, he pushed me off him and turn me around, making my back face him before he hugged me from behind.
"Gideon! get him." Enoch shouted when he saw the man who stepped on my dress intentionally made an attempted to run, and Gideon's well built body was in front of him in no time.
Knowing he had no where to run, the man knelt in front of me and started pleading for forgiveness, which I didn't won't to refuse, but I wonder what Enoch wanted to do, so I pretended to be angry with the man.
I felt something drop on my shoulders and when I checked, it was a suit, I tried turning to face Enoch but he signal me to be still. I felt his fingers touch my butt, and that was when I realized the zip on the dress was open from the waist down to my lower butt, revealing my underwear,
Enoch closed the zip and asked Gideon to take me to the car, but I insisted on staying by his side, seeing how angry he was. He stepped close to the man and just looked at him, waiting for him to start talking, but he just kept pleading.
Enoch held his shoulders to help him stand then whispered something into his ears before turning to leave, which surprised me, looking at how angry he was, I didn't expect that.
I turned towards the car when I saw him coming, but I heard a sound of a punch and a cry of pain, which made me turn again. The man was on the floor whelming in pain and Enoch was now coming towards us.
