Chapter 8
I watched the city diminish into the horizon from my front mirror. My hands shaking now, so I parked my car at a small parking lot belonging to a small eatery. I killed the engine and stared at the shaking hands and I bit my lower lips in shame. Even in his total absence, Dave still scares me. He was a wicked son of a bitch and never hid that from anyone.
‘Ma’am, you gotta pack down there?’ The eatery’s security guard interrupted my thoughts.
‘What?’
‘You cannot pack here, it belongs to the management,’ he pointed at the sign that was boldly written there, MANAGEMENT ONLY, ‘you have to park over there.’
‘Where?’ I asked again.
‘Follow me ma’am.’
He directed me to where to park and I docked safely.
‘Thank you.’ I said as I locked the door and check the car boot to ensure it was locked.
I proceeded to the eatery and ordered some scrambled eggs and a coke. I never took my eyes away from my car. I ate slowly and took my time. I would love to enter my new city unannounced, undetected and enveloped in darkness. I loved it that way. Before the police found Henry's body, I should have been long gone.
Six o’ clock, I made to continue my journey. Paid for the meal and tipped the security. As I moved towards the driver’s door with the key, ready to be inserted in the keyhole, a warm hand touched my arm,
‘Excuse me ma’am.’ The Baritone voice followed.
I swung around very fast and within seconds, I had wielded the car key in his throat as a defence.
‘Wow…Wow…’ he managed a smile, ‘let’s not do that, okay?’ He said as he raised both arms in surrender.
I sighed. ‘I am sorry. But you should stop sneaking on people like that.’
‘I… em… I don’t know about that. I didn’t sneak on you. I only touched you to get your attention.’
I looked at his throat as he talked. The adam’s apple going up and down. He was handsome and tall. A black male. He dressed very good too. And he innocent bulge against his trouser's zippers says a lot. I could Allo him have some, if he behaved. I was already hungry for a good and unattached sex.
‘Well, stop touching people anyhow.’
I turned around and opened my car door. I slid in and slammed the door shut. He leaned towards the window and wondered if I could give him a ride.
‘No!’ I replied without looking at him and started the engine.
‘Common Ma, don’t be a jerk!’ He joked with a very attractive smile.
‘I am a jerk.’ I replied and depressed the handbrake. ‘Will you excuse me?’ I said as I shifted the gear to reverse.
He followed the car as I reversed and kept pleading. Brooding all over. He looked cute. I must admit that.
‘Please.’ He said, and like I was waiting for that, I slammed the brakes. ‘I will do anything for you- anything at all.’ He added with his charming smile.
I blushed. ‘You live in this city?’ I asked.
‘Em.. no.’ He said, looking at the sky. ‘I actually hoped to start a life in the city. Got no money on me but I am sure I will get a job.’ He smiled.
For a moment, I noticed his dimple and well curled hair. He was adorable and I liked him immediately. He is the type of guy I wouldn’t mind to start a life with.
‘Well, I am going into the city but I would love to go to Mexico.’
‘Mexico?’ His fate lit up. That’s cool. ‘Em… can I come in?’
‘Oh… I’m sorry. Let’s go.’ I removed my bag from the seat beside me and threw it at the back seat.
‘Thank you.’ He said as he sank his butt. I could get lost in his smile.
Fredrick was a real chatter. For the first time in my life, I felt beautiful and safe. I wanted him to touch me, but he didn’t, so, I was touching him playfully in all places i could. I wanted him. Handsome and well mannered. He was a very jovial fellow, full of life. I almost wanted to tell him that I had twenty million dollars in my car trunk and I wanted him to stay with me and we could enjoy it together!
‘You know, beautiful,’ he said after a long talk, ‘I told you my name, but you didn’t tell me yours. That’s not fair.’ He winked jokingly and smiled broadly.
My heart pounded loudly and it seemed it would come out of my mouth. I began to shake and sigh loudly. The car veered as I lost control and I quickly slammed the break. Fredrick had already grabbed the dashboard and gone pale.
I apologized and he said, ‘it’s okay’.
‘Cindy, my name is Cindy.’ I said, forgetting that I just adopted the name, Lucy, before leaving the hotel, where Henry was done in. This is not the first time, the name I bore in every city is whatever name comes to my head. So, now, I am Cindy.
‘Okay.’ He replied with fear in his eyes. ‘Cindy, did you drink anything alcoholic back there?’
I shook my head. He sighed, was relieved.
'Good. Now, Cindy, I really wanna get to wherever I am going in a piece. Can you please ensure that and ...em.. you know, drive safely?'
'I...err...I am sorry. I...'
'It's okay Cindy, okay? I get it. Sometimes. We all got caught in some crazy thoughts around our head,' he circled the air around his head, 'but, we really need to be safe.' He smiled.
I nodded without looking at him, started the engine and we continued out journey.
