I groaned as my eyes fluttered open. The pain was coming from my stomach
I leaned forward to find a sneaker laying nonchalantly on my torsoI turned to the only culprit in this house who would do this to me“What’d you do that for!” I whined
Jerry’s red eyes blared at me “Pick up your damn phone!” He said before submerging back into his cozy blanketMy head snapped to where I kept my phone as I heard my ring tone blazing through the speaker.*Light it up like dynamite! Whoah oh!* I was tempted to join in but I know my singing this early in the morning would earn another sneaker being thrown at me. Dynamite… it was a good jam back when I was young, oh well. I picked up my phone and clicked the answer button without looking at the caller ID“Its me” A rough husky voice spoke from the other end
“You who?” I scowled but I was shocked at how rough my voice was. Maybe it's because of Lucy, probably sucked her nips too hard.
“Its Dickson” he said again
“Oooh! The sinner with the D finally calls me” I chuckled
“Haha, very funny. You know I hate it when you call me that” He sighed and I laughed. I gave him that nickname because it suits him the more, he’s a sinner, a bad bad sinner.
“I need you to come pick me up Theo” He said after my laugher had died down
“Really? That’s why you’re calling? I should have known. But it’s soo early in the morning” I whined. As always, he only calls me when he needs me to do something for him but I’m not complaining, I hardly see him these days so no matter how I whine, I’ll still do his bidding. I just want to nag him because I’m really clingy when it comes to D
“Do you want me to get someone else Theo?”
“No no, I’m just saying it’s too early, that’s all” I splutter
“So where am I picking you up? Limpopo?”
“Yeah Nezu street, behind the abandoned ferry”
“Ok, I’ll be there in a breeze” I said as I ended the call and started to look for a pair of pants.
“Where are you going?” Jerry’s head popped out of his blankets as he saw Theo put on some clothes
“Its D” I said without turning to look at him
“Limpopo then, I hope it’s not Wisdom grass this time” Jerry sighed
“Are you telling me brother? I didn’t even bother asking” I sighed as I picked up my car keys and left the house, but deep down I was worried about him.
I entered the car and kick started the engines before zooming off to the ferry station. It had better be important D, I don’t like waking up at 3am.
Within some minutes, I was at the ferry station and I parked my car and boarded a ferry to Limpopo.Back then I had many dealings in Limpopo, like sure the place was nice at first, we'd go visit friends and learn how to bond with peeps same age, sure we made a lot of troubles here and there as kids and the other kids would create a diversion so we could escape, it was fun. But when the city zone turned upside down, all those peeps became gangs, some cults, things started getting scary, it either you step up and find your own way to survive or you get left behind feeling lost. I guess my good features made it easy for me to get going in the gigolo business when Dickson introduced me to it, I was young, partly dumped, I was going through a rough time that year and I need the fine currency in my pocket, I don’t know what D saw in me but I’m glad I never disappointed him. He wanted to drill some skills into me but I was like whatever man, just give me a gig!
Stupid me that time, I didn’t know the business that much and I didn’t acknowledge that I really needed training. My first gig Mrs. Katherine, I failed miserably, I can’t believe I flopped my lines that’s why they say practice makes perfect, I could remember I was acting like a school boy, I guess that turned her off but something she said made me wanna come back one day for a rematch but oh well... I guess I haven’t pinned a date for that. There is nothing as scary as trying to lure your first catch, maybe your first off white deal would match up. Yeah, your boy Theo did some bad stuff back then but I didn’t like the off white deals, anything can happen and it might end up with bullets blazing either when the police burst the deal, or when your buyers clash with rival gangs, or maybe when they feel you cheated them, now that will end with a bullet in your chest. I remember my first trade and it was damn dangerous, after that day I knew the Off white business wasn’t my trade at all. If not for sweet talks that I had, things would have ended up pretty badly, the buyers asked for coke and the freaking suppliers gave me Benz, freaking Benz! Why would they do that? If I didn’t think better, I would say they wanted to kill me that day!I had to talk to save my life, I told them that coke Supply was a bit low and difficult to get hold off, They had to keep me there to ensure that they made big money from the Benz sales before they let me go. I just knew that that wasn’t my thing, but I did pickup some details like how some of the rich folks from Main land would pay mad cash for these things, it was quite funny when I saw them speaking in public and saying things about Attitude, Character or Morals, sometimes my heart chokes with laughter, In my head I be like ‘if I tossed a wrap of off white at you while on stage what would be the reaction? Maybe one day I’ll do it or pay somebody to do it.The ferry reached Limpopo and I go down, got a cab and told the driver to take me to Nezu street.
“The abandoned ferry” I said as we zoomed off. I just hope D is okay, he’s like a brother to me. We’ve known each other since we were little kids unlike Jerry whom I met in college. D changed me and made me into who I am today, he’s the big boss when it comes to Playboy, he taught me all I know today.
The car came to a halt and I saw D's silhouette make it’s way out of it’s hiding place. I got down and we shared a bro hug.
“Sup” we said in unison and I chuckled“Running early morning Buzz?” I asked
“Yeah, but it’s not what you think”
“It ain’t the stuff?” I furrowed my brows
“ Off-white? Nah...not now. You know I’ve been playing on my package, you know treating her with care, she called for me to come spend the night over, I have to respect her wishes when she’s recharging the aza” He smirked
“ But dude, when do people from Mainland start making late calls from Limpopo, like can’t they just do it in their own houses?” All those egoistic bishes
He chuckled a bit before patting me in the shoulder “You’ve been out of the game for a while, you don’t know what’s going on, Mama’s now want to play it safe, the risk of media exposure in Mainland is getting higher so Mama’s are getting smatter, they make arrangements with a motel manager in Limpopo, rent a room, give boys the location we come, we meet we go, and aza gets credited. It’s safe and no stress, except when it’s at odd hours like this”“What are you talking about? The people here never sleep, it’s all clubs, parties and big troubles” I exclaimed
“Exactly an that’s why I need a fast driver, there are some faces I don’t want to see at the Bene check point” he shrugged
“And how do you expect to escape the cops? I’m your designated driver aren’t I? You’re so mean…” I whined
“Why can’t you just call me like a normal brother. We haven’t seen each other for weeks now and when you call, you’re using me to get rid of your cops problem. I think I should just disown you” I said playfully
“Quit Yapping like that Theo” it seems like he didn’t get the joke because he was really glaring at me.
“Okay okay, it was just a joke. But you know they’ll stop us to check who’s inside right?”“That’s why I need you to make sure they don’t see who’s inside, you know how you do it, take them under the bridge and give them the slip”
“Okay then, let’s hit the road” we got into the car and zoomed off.
Previously on play boy's heart…“Okay then, let’s hit the road” we got into the car and zoomed off.The trick about the slip is that I realized the Bene flyover close to the check point has 3 different interlocks, but when you throttle your engine in the third section it’s sound echo's higher in the third interlock and that deceives the cops and they go chasing a ghost car, it helped me back then when I knew I was at wrong end of law, that was a long time ago guys.So we got to the ferry station, boarded a ferry back to Bene and we got back to my car. I kick-started the engine and we drove close to the Bene checkpoint, I slowed down because I wanted the police to see him, I wanted to laugh at D, just seeing him quiver in fear, that should be a fair punishment since he called me just to be his driver. But then I realized that I would get punished as well for taking this damn criminal in my car!Oh shit! And
Magazine Scandal…Okay, you guys know how Gabi’s always making fun of how I don’t know much about furnitures and renovations?Yeah, I have to admit she’s… I’m not going to say right, She just… maybe, had a point and so, I’ve been trying to make my self better, I don’t want to be under estimated anymore so I want to learn more about furnitures and accessories and making plans and models, those kind of stuff so I can finally rub it in her face that apart from my Luscious lips, I can also be of help to the team.I’ve been using this magazine to look at some furnitures and renovations some top celebrities got, The only iny winny tiny problem is that, it’s a magazine that features strippers in their covers.I know, I know. Like, I should be able to walk around and read this in the men’s room but, it’s so embarrassing! I have to go past the finance and design team's
It’s a beautiful Friday evening, 4pm to be exact and our star boy Theodore was at home which was quite a shock to Jerry because even though he had calmed down, Theo Never came home on a Friday night so Jerry was quite puzzled as to why he would come home on a Friday. What’s the occasion?Theodore was standing in front of a mirror putting on his black shirt and buttoning up, leaving the two top buttons undone. He then rolled up my sleeves reaching his elbows, applied some cologne and then some lip gloss before smirking and winking at himself, it looks like he’s preparing for a date with a special someone but who could it be?“I look really spicy today” I smirked and I truly did. With a cross earring dangling from my left ear and a really nice long necklace on my bare chest. If she saw me I bet she’d faint on the spot.*Looks at the audience*“Don’t get jealous babe, I’m a man
Let’s do a brain check. I’m going to state the facts and then I’ll lay down my theories as we go on.Alicia is the groups head. She’s very controlling and Lilly just seems to do her every bidding. She also has a thing for me and I’m guessing by the end of the night, Lilly would have to leave her pursuit for me and let Alicia take over.Lilly isn’t to harmless either, it seems she has her own raging demons and she takes it out in people who are lower than her.Now these are my theories1. This date has been planned out by Alicia and she purposefully attacked us while we were eating2. Sadly I am un-attracted to either one of them and I don’t think I can think of a relationship with these girls.3. It seems that Lilly is the more powerful one in the group since she’s the Senator’s daughter. The others despite having rich parents, they don’t compare to her. (I found this
Theo sat lazily on a couch and continued flipping channels, obviously bored to death he decided to browse the internet.He took out his phone and kept looking at daily reports, happenings in Konan city and what was buzzing in some celebrities lives. He was about to lock his eyes on a page when something passed him in the blink of an eye.He turned around but no one was there.What the hell is going on? He asked himself.He dropped his phone and wondered off to the kitchen when he felt something pass by again. He could feel a presence here in their home but who could it be?“IS ANYONE HOME?” I asked but I was answered with silence.I turned to the fridge and took out a bag of carrots. As I munched on one with the bag in my hand, I decided to explore the hallway.If there’s a ghost in this house then we need to exorcise it quickly because I’m not moving.I checked D's room but it was empt
Jerry’s POVThe day of the date arrived and Jerry was both excited and anxious. For one, he looked good, Better than what he would have gone for thanks to Theo, but he’s afraid he would chase her away with all these rules Theo gave him.“It’s all part of the chase” I sighed as I walked out of the door to my car. I took a quick glance at it before walking over to the other side to get on a motorcycle. Normal Jerry would take his car to go pick her up but then Theo said, in order for me to impose my bad boy self I should take a motorcycle.Now you would think that I should go pick her up right? But then, Theo 101 says ‘Don’t come on to her too strong. Instead, suggest for a meet up' so I did that.So we’re meeting up at the cinema. I placed my helmet on as I drove to the cinema.“Remember your trainings, you’ve got this. She’s gonna love you” I motivated himself. 
Next day …Back to Theo's POV…Theo and Dickson were sitting in their living room and playing the most advanced combat game when Jerry finally arrived home.“What’s up” He said as he walked past them and simultaneously they both dropped their pad and looked at him.One was glaring at him like he wanted to kill him while the other was giving him that sly smile he kind of wished the death glare was better.“You took my bike without permission” D spat looking like normal Dickson, angry but with a wave of coolness combined.“Don’t look at me, Theo was the one who said I could take it out. He said he’ll call you later to tell you” Jerry shrugged“What the hell Theo! We’ve been sitting here, playing video games all day while I was thinking of how to slaughter Jerry when you were the one I should have buried six feet under the ground!&rdqu
Right inside the office, Gabi was busy typing vigorously on her laptop when her phone suddenly rang. “Who is it this time” she wondered as she picked up her phone but then her triggered disdain slowly depreciated as she looked at the caller ID“Mummy” with a purple heart, black heart and a heart with smaller floating hearts emoji looked right back at her She took a deep breath before picking up the phone“Hey mum, how’re you?” Gabi said“Finally, you picked up your phone. Why haven’t you been picking my calls? I called you last night and it rang for hours but you didn’t answer me?” A female voice much in her 50’s answered very unhappy “I’m sorry mum, I swear. I was working over time and my phone was not beside me. I wanted to call you back but then I forgot, sorry” Gabi apologized but deep inside she snorted, it’s not like her phone rang for an hour, mum’s just like to exaggerate so they make us feel awful. She ju
