Chapter 6: Chapter six
The next morning,Ray woke up feeling on top of the world. He had finally found love at last. He was so happy that he called Adam that morning.
"What's up, bro? He said as the call was answered.
"I'm good and you?
"Fine. How was your date last night?
"It went well. He said happily. Extraordinarily well.
"The joy in your voice makes it sound convincing. Tell me more.
"Well, I expected it to be some sort of random date you know but it turned out to be outstanding.
"So, how was it?
"She's not just beautiful, she's understanding as well and that's what I love about her.
"Hmmm, lover boy. So the almighty Ray falls in love again after the Rosetta tragedy.
"C'mon bro, stop it. I do not want to hear anything related to Rosetta anymore. My heart belongs to someone else now.
"And who's that?
"My darling Ruby of course.
Just then, Ruby's call came in.
"I'll call you back,bro.
"Alright,bye.
"Bye.
He answers Ruby's call.
"Hey, sugar pie. She said softly.
Ray blushed a crimson. No lady had ever called him that before.
"Hi, beautiful. He replied.
"How're you doing? She asked.
"Fine and you? He replied.
"Fine too. Thanks for last night.
"You're most welcome, my darling. I love you.
Ruby blushed.
"I love you too. She said softly.
(Blows a kiss through the phone) Bye. He said.
"Bye. She replied with another blow kiss.
At Ray's organization, Adam is seen walking into the building until he stumbles on Nancy. The two collided which made Nancy almost trip and fall but Adam was fast enough to grip her by the waist and slide her into his arms in a bridal style. The two got lost in each other's eyes for a long time until Adam regained his senses.
"So sorry about that. He said as he released her."Didn't mean to knock you down there.
"Didn't see you there too. She said as she turned her blue eyes to his." Thanks for the save.
"No problem. He said as he left.
Adam turned right to the elevator and entered it. The elevator doors closed and took him up. As he was in the elevator,his thoughts went back to Nancy. The way her waist felt, how soft her skin was and her lips which were soft and inviting."I do want to kiss that lips sometimes, he thought. This girl is driving me crazy but I don't just know whether she likes me or not. With these thoughts still on his mind, he walked out of the elevator and headed for Ray's office.
Nancy on the other hand was thinking about Adam too. The way his brown eyes stared at her,his masculine stature,the feeling of his muscles on her soft skin. But how could she confess to him that she liked him? He was her boss's friend and had never approached nor talked to her. Well, except today when they collided. How could she show him that she liked him?
Back at Ray's office,Ray and Adam were busy discussing when Adam brought the subject about Nancy.
"Bro. He said.
"What?
Um, your secretary,um what's her name again?
"Nancy.
"Yeah, Nancy.
"What about her?
"I think I like her bro.
"I said it.
"What did you say? He asked with a puzzling look.
"I told you that very day that you were staring at her that you liked her but you denied it.
"Well I've accepted that I like her•••••what now?
Ray laughed.
"Bro seriously it's not funny. I do really like her.
"And I'm not saying that you don't. So what do you plan on doing now?
"Well,I think I would give her some time to notice my intentions. If she doesn't,I move on.
"Don't say you'll move on. When last have you dated a woman? Bro you need a woman in your life..
"I know,but finding the perfect match isn't easy.
"And I pray you find that perfect match very soon.
"Amen bro, amen. What about Ruby?
The sound of the name made Ray blush so hard. He was deeply in love.
"Awwn,lover boy. What about her?
"She's fine. Called her this morning.
"Wait,you two just went on a single date which was last night and you've started calling each other? He did wide eyed with surprise.
"And what's wrong about that?
"Bro, I wish I was like you .
"How? Ray asked with a puzzled look.
"You're so bold unlike me who's timid.
"Don't be so hard on yourself bro, we're all different in our ways. Even your timidness find you a lady. Or it is about to find you a lady. He teased and Adam laughed.
"Thank you, bro. Adam said with a smile.
"You're always welcome.
The light of Elena's apartment went on. She had just arrived from work. She was so tired. She dropped her bags and went straight to the kitchen to get some food. Seeing that she had no strength to cook, she heaped two helpings of cereal into a bowl with some milk and started to eat. Work had been so interesting but at the same time energy taking these days. She hasn't had the time to go out since she got this job. With that thought, she wolfed he cereal down and went to her room to change into something elegant. She needed to have a fun night. Even if it's just this one night, she thought to herself as she dressed up. She got out of the house, locked it and went out to the street.
She went to the nearest bar, ordered for a drink and began to drink. The drink was alcoholic though she had never taken it before,she decided that it was part of the things she would do for the night. Very soon,she was drunk and didn't even notice when a guy came to sit beside her.
"Hi, beautiful. He said with a sheepish smile.
"Hi. She replied drunkenly.
She wasn't aware that the guy name was Robin,who was a hardened criminal and a rapist.
Soon enough,she passed out. Robin carried her and went to the bar attendant,paid him for a room and went into the room carrying unconscious Elena with him. Immediately he left, a guy came to ask the bar attendant what was going on.
"Hey. Said the guy.
"Hi. Replied the bar attendant.
"Uh,the guy that just approached you now, carrying an unconscious lady. Who is he?
"Oh Robin. He just carried the lady to do his stuff.
"What stuff?
The bar attendant kept mute and didn't answer.
"Bro,am I not speaking with you?
The bar attendant still did not answer.
With one swift move of his hand ,the bar attendant got a punch on the nose and the guy ran in to find Elena stark naked on the bed and Robin about to take advantage of her.
The guy ran to the bed,pounced on Robin and began to rain punches on him.
"You mother fucker! He yelled as he punched him.
Few hours later,the police took Robin away and the guy named Darwin took Elena to his apartment.
Getting to his apartment,he took Elena to the guest room, told his maid to change clothes for her and clean her up then went to his room.
