Chapter 17 - The kiss

"Well I don't care what you do!! Just get them back!! Otherwise I am roasting you for lunch and feeding you to the damn pigs!!" Yelled Jethro and he slammed the phone into the wall and screamed, "Son of a bitch!!! I swear I am going to kill him!!" And he threw some of the documents on his desk on the floor in anger. This was in his office at the auction house. And after he threw the documents on the floor, he stood up and grabbed the computer on his desk to throw it on the floor, but before he could do it a knock was heard on the door. "What!!!" He Yelled.

"Ummm...Sir...there is someone here to see you..", a small voice rang from the other side of the door. "Well tell them to go away!! I am busy right now!!" Yelled Jethro. "Busy enough not to even see me." A sweet voice rang from the door and soon after the door opened to reveal Patricia in a beautiful tight yellow knee length dress that shaped her body figures perfectly, with white heels. She was wearing light makeup and her hair was loose and flowing down her back and shoulders. Her neck was adorned with a beautiful diamond necklace, and she was carrying a white purse. Patricia approached Jethro's desk and surveyed the office and she saw a broken phone which looked like it has been smashed into the wall, some documents scattered on the floor and a toppled down chair. "Looks like you truly are busy.....trashing the place..." said Patricia and she looked at Jethro who now had an embarrassed look on his face.

Jethro cleared his throat and said, "I wasn't expecting anyone today and most especially you my beautiful doll." Patricia smirked and said, "I can see why. Are you having a bad day Sir?" "Well I am....but since you are here...I guess my bad day just turned from being sour to sweet." And he paused for a moment and looked at Patricia with eyes filled with burning lust as he roamed them up and down her body. "And you truly look like a sweet treat.." then he smiled. Patricia lightly chuckled and said, "You flatter me Sir...but....I am afraid...I can no longer offer you my services... since you proved to me that you don't deserve them...but anyway...I am actually here for business." Then she took out a cheque from her purse and gently placed it on the desk in front of him.

Jethro looked at Patricia for a brief moment and then reached out for the cheque and took it and asked, "What is this?". "That's 5 million dollars. $3 million for my membership in the club and $2 million for that horse..Lightningbolt. I don't care who bought him but I am pretty sure that $2 million is more than enough to retrieve it", said Patricia and she went and took a seat on the sofa at the office's lounging area and said, "Are you not satisfied with my offer Sir? You know I can easily find someone else to do business with since you seem not interested." Jethro did not reply but went and took a seat on the sofa opposite Patricia and said,

"Patty..Patty...my sweet beautiful doll. I am actually quite surprised with this. I thought you were a whore working in a night club to earn some free lance...but I guess I was wrong...you are someone else completely. Although I am curious about something.....how did you know about the club....that's a secret that only... special type of people know about. So how did you know.....?" And he leaned in his seat and stared at Patricia intently.

"You mean special people like the derby racers", then she chuckled and continued, "You might say that I had a little birdie that told me...." "You are Patricia Milton aren't you....Simon Milton's daughter..." remarked Jethro and he smirked. Patricia did not reply but kept staring at him. Jethro chuckled and said, "I had an idea....when my men gave me the information about you but I just didn't want to jump into conclusions since the information didn't mention you being the daughter of that racer. But now all the pieces are coming together.....but I didn't think that Simon Milton was such a bastard by letting his daughter work as a whore to earn a living but...how did you get so rich all of a sudden..did you stumble upon a gold mine or what...?"

Patricia felt a heat of anger burning up inside of her the moment that Jethro called her father a bastard but she decided to keep it cool since she wanted to use him to get into the club since she heard that in order to become a derby racer with many supporters she needed to be part of the derby racers' club, 'The golden horse ' was it's name. It was formed by the world's first derby racers 250 years ago when derby racing became a sport. The world champion will be the leader of the club and all it's branches, thus making Riccardo Montenegra the leader of the club. Her father was the Vice leader since he was the second world champion but since he died someone else succeeded him. The club was formed and started on honest grounds but now with Montenegra as it's leader.. it is now a breeding ground for all illegal activities and she was determined to find out everything and gather all the evidence to bring them down.

"I see you did a little digging on me. Yes....I am Patricia Milton...Simon Milton's daughter. The world's second best derby racer. And I didn't tumble upon a gold mine but my father left me some.....interests but...I got to discover about it....a little late. But that's not what I am here to talk about" said Patricia and she leaned forward in her seat and continued, "I want to be a derby racer and you...my dear Sir...are going to help me to become one." "And how do you suppose I am going to do that?", asked Jethro. "By introducing me to your friends. I know you are part of the club since you were once a derby racer yourself but due to an undisclosed injury...you retired but you are still part of the group because the leader trusts you so much at least that's what I think. " said Patricia and she slumbed back into her seat. "Mmmm...but....why do you want to be a derby racer (chuckling), do you even know how to race? I mean no offense but...you are a..." said Jethro.

"A woman! Yes I know...what you mean. You think that because I am a woman I am incapable of doing such a sport. But let me assure you Mr Morales....you will be very much surprised. You, yourself confessed that I am not ordinary, so why don't you give me a chance and I can show you how much more I can...surprise you." Said Patricia and she leaned forward again in her seat and asked, "So what do you say...do we have a deal." Jethro leaned back in his seat and started rubbing his chin in thought and then he asked, "What are you going to gain if you become a derby racer. What is driving you huh...I am curious to know...why a beauty like you instead of using her inheritance to live a good and fancy life...you want to be a racer? Tell me why huh..."

Patricia took a deep breath and replied, "I want to carry on my father's legacy. I know it sounds....sentimental but....I want to do that." Then she looked down and pretended to be emotional, "My father loved derby racing.....he even died on that track...so...I want to honor his memory by carrying on his legacy....I owe him that much..." and she pretended to sniffle back some tears. Jethro did not know why but he was moved and without thinking he went and sat beside Patricia and wiped her fake tears with his handkerchief. Patricia silently smirked knowing that her little show worked and thanked Jethro and took the handkerchief from him and wiped her eyes with it.

Jethro sighed and said, "Ok my beauty. I will help you but...I need to talk to some friends first and if they agree...I will inform you." Patricia smiled and replied, "Thank you Mr Morales..." but she was interrupted as Jethro suddenly pulled her into a smearing kiss. Patricia was caught by surprise and before she could react by struggling to free herself from his hold, Jethro disengaged himself from the kiss and said, "That's the proper way to say thank you. And damn... that was sweet." And he licked his lips. Patricia felt like vomiting right then and there, the pig just stole a kiss from her but since she needed him she kept her calm and decided not to land a slap across his face although she was aching to. She then gently stood up from her seat and said, "I will be waiting for your call" and without waiting for Jethro to stand up she quickly strode out the office and exited the building. She went straight to the parking lot, to her brand new car which she had bought a week after she was discharged from the hospital and claimed the $800 million.

As she was approaching the car, she felt someone following her. And as she reached the car, she saw the shadow of the person getting closer. She then pretended to be opening the door of the car whilst she sneakily reached into her purse and took hold of the pepper spray in her hand. And as the person got near her, she quickly turned around and tried to spray the person with the pepper spray but to her unfortunate dismay, the person was wearing shades and he quickly dodged and took hold of the pepper spray and took it out of Patricia's hand and he held her firmly by the waist. But Patricia retaliated by stepping on his foot with her shoe and elbowing him in the stomach and getting out of his hold. She took the pepper spray from him and aimed it at him. The man groaned and said, "Owww that hurts like hell" "Who are you!! And what do you want from me!!" Yelled Patricia at the man. "Oww damn Sweeches...first you beat my ass and now you yell at me....jeez don't you think I deserve a break" said the man. "Sweeches....? Wha....." exclaimed Patricia and she approached the man and took off his glasses, only for her eyes to meet blue striking ones staring at her. "Agent Phillips?! Wha....? What are you doing here? And why are you following me? Are you spying on me?" Asked Patricia.

Isaac groaned and said, "It's my job Sweeches...besides I thought I could be your personal bodyguard but hell...I am regretting it now....seems like you don't need a bodyguard at all....oww", groaned Issac. Patricia then placed the pepper spray back in the bag and she opened the door to the backseat of the car and went and helped him into the car. And after she helped him settle into the car, she then stood in front of him and said, "I am sorry for that...but you shouldn't have sneaked up on me like that. I thought you were trying to harm me like those thieves and I quickly reacted the best way I could to defend myself." "Well that's good...I am glad you are no longer dumb like you used to and you are now more cautious... owwww" said Issac who then got interrupted by Patricia because she kicked his leg hard.

"Dumb?!! Did you just call me dumb!! I think you deserve another beating!" And she continued to hit him this time on his shoulders. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Stop! You are injuring my beautiful handsome body! How will I completely make you fall for me if you injure me like this!" Said Issac. "Urrrrg!!! You are so annoying!!!" Exclaimed Patricia and she continued hitting him, until Issac held her hands firmly and pulled her towards him so that she landed on his chest but their eyes widened at the same time as they felt their lips touching. Time seemed to stop as the two of them looked deep into each other's eyes whilst their lips touched and their hearts beating fast rhythmically. It was like a scene in a romantic movie and strangely they both liked it....
