"Get away from me" Ally screamed as she pushed the guy who had grabbed her by the waist.
She was walking to her favourite coffee shop and could smell the coffee already. It boosted her mood and she quickened her steps. She did not notice the guy leaning on a red car parked close to the coffee shop, dressed in running clothes.
"You thought you could escape huh?" He said in a threatening voice
"I don't know you" Ally struggled to get out of his grip " let me go!"
"Not until you return my money" He held on tighter
"What money?" Ally screamed at him, becoming furious
"The money you stole from me"
"You must be crazy" she stomped his foot and moved away from him when his grip relaxed. He tried to catch her but she had pulled her pepper spray out and aimed for his face.
"You bitch!" He yelled trying to protect his eyes "fucking cunt" he spat
"That's for being an asshole" Ally replied
"I'll get you"
"Fuck off " she flipped him as he stomped off.
A couple of people stopped to look at them. Ally hurried into the cafe and took the closest empty seat she saw. She took in calming breaths and started laughing. She covered her mouth when a couple of people stared.
After she calmed down she walked to the counter and placed her order. She walked back to her table and met a pair of beautiful silver eyes staring at her.
"Oh god!" She breathed. The eyes were owned by a well tanned man, dressed in the most impeccable suit she had seen in a while. His hair was carefully piled on his head and her eyes roved over him.
His nose was pointed with an almost invisible scar by the side as if he had broken it at some point. His face was chiselled and his chin strong. His lips were set thinly and they were presently squeezed in a pout. He parted them and said something but Ally did not hear. She was drinking him in.
"Excuse me?" She said when he looked at her as if he expected an answer
"I said you must have had one hell of a morning " He said. His voice was deep
"Ye..yeah. something of the sort" Ally stumbled
"An ex boyfriend?" He raised an eyebrow
"Shit" she muttered. He must have see the commotion outside. "Not really. Just an idiot"
"Looked like a familiar idiot" he smiled
"What?" Ally frowned "it's none of your business "
He chuckled "of couse not." He stood up and walked out.
Ally kissed her teeth and frowned. Who does he think he is? Even as she looked as his legs carry his form gracefully and she wanted to smack his... who the fuck is he?
Well, he was gone now and so was the idiot who has attacked her. He was just a fling who lost a bet and was sore about it. She could call him up for tonight again. She smiled and shook her head. She needs to stop being reckless. This guy is a low life who could spoil her reputation. She did not need this.
"Hey Ally" Thomson stopped by her table. "These books won't fix themselves " he dropped a couple of ledgers in front of her.
"Can't a woman get her coffee first?" Ally complained
"You asked for it" Thomson retreated
Ally looked over at the counter "come on Harrie, it's taking forever."
"Sorry boss, coming right up"
It was noon and the coffee crowd had reduced. Regan flew into the cafe and went straight to the office
"You slept with him again?!" She screamed the moment she saw Ally.
"Shhush" Ally quickly closed the door behind her and pulled her toward her desk.
"Why are you screaming? It was part of a game. And technically, I didn't sleep with him"
"What does that even mean?" Reg wasn't reducing her voice "you said it was a fling but you've been seeing him for the past few days. I even heard he was here this morning. Are you not thinking?"
"Look I know what I am doing "
"Do you? Because he's saying you stole his money"
"That fool" Ally hissed "just $70 that he lost in a bet"
"Give it back to him and don't contact him again! He doesn't have his head screwed on straight "
"I know "
"It's fun for you, but stop messing with him"
"Yes ma'am "
Reg looked closely at Ally "I'm serious "
Ally smiled "I am too"
"Plus" she dragged and smiled "there'll be someone better for you tonight "
"Oh, I forgot we had a thing tonight "
"Don't you dare" Reg warned "you live for these nights "
Ally laughed "you know I do"
"So I'll see you tonight " Reg kissed Ally's cheek and cupped her boobs playfully "better be ready" she walked out almost in the same manner she walked in.
Ally smiled and shook her head. Reg was always in a hurry, always so bubbly and full of something(life, worry, happiness). They have been friends for almost 3 years and it seems they've known each other forever. She loved her and her partner dearly. Reg and Dan have been in a relationship for a long time and they were having the time of their lives.
They did everything together and continue to be into each other. They were exclusive and it made them happy but it was not for Ally. She loves having fun with as many men as possible. She can't imagine herself stuck to one man for the rest of her life. It just didn't seem like something she would enjoy.
Her longest relationship was 6 months and that was at a period where she was dead broke. She had to live with him until she got enough money to rent her own place. Those 6 months were torture. Well, the first month was good but after that? She endured because she didn't want to live on the streets. He repulsed her everytime he wanted to touch her. She made so many excuses that he knew she was just avoiding him.
He ended up cheating on her for the last two months but she didn't mind. In fact, she was grateful.
She shook herself out of her reverie and started thinking of tonight. She can't wait for the man Reg would bring. She had to dress up so well, he'll take her home before the night ended. She smiled to herself. She knows exactly what to wear.
