** ** Anna’s POV ** **It was the early hours of the evening, the sun was slowly going down. We had returned from our trip to the Diamond mine and also met for the negotiations. We were not able to reach an agreement just yet as the locals had their demands.Mr. Blackwood had ended the meeting with the motion that he would think about their demands and get back to them, but I had a feeling that he was not ready to fulfill any of their demands. He seemed displeased with their requests, I would have loved to give my opinion but it doesn’t seem like he wanted to talk to me.Right now, I was standing by the entrance of a fancy swimming pool on the ground floor, with a towel hanging on my arm while Mr. Blackwood took a swim. Believe me, it was against my wish, this is so unfair?We had both been put through stress today, so why does he get to swim while I hold his towel like a maid? This was not even my job description to begin with, I am suppose
** ** Omniscient Narrator ** **With one of his hands still put against the wall, Mr. Blackwood grabbed Anna’s ass with the other and pulled her closer to him; he could feel her heartbeat against his bare chest as he gently squeezed her butt. Anna swallowed hard, trying to avoid eye contact with him, with both hands placed against his chest, struggling to not touch him, she was nervous.Mr. Blackwood lowered his head gently towards her neck and she shivers at the feeling of his breath on her ears, he then gently kisses her neckline and she turns her face to the other side, exposing her smooth neck further to him. it was not a deliberate act, her body was just acting on its own.Mr. Blackwood began to rub his face on her long neck, gently making lines on it with his pointy nose. Anna sighed and closed her eyes, trying to fight the feeling that was creeping into her. She didn’t want to feel these things for him, she hated how much effect he had on her.
Mr. Maxwell Blackwood and Anna headed back to the ladies room, walking side by side. Megan was beaming with smiles under the dim hallway lights; she couldn’t believe that this was really happening.Mr. Blackwood had taken her to a very expensive hotel that evening and ordered the best of their menu. Knowing fully well that Anna was stalking his social media handles, he made sure to take pictures of the dinner and put it online, the CEO’s main goal was to make Anna jealous.Megan on the other hand could not understand why he set up such a beautiful dinner but yet he barely spoke to her, he happened to be on his phone for most of the dinner. Maybe he had important work, she had thought to herself. Only if she knew that she was just being delusional, believing something that wasn’t there.As a matter of fact, Maxwell wasn’t accompanying her back to the room because he was sweet and romantic, or because he wanted to make sure that she was safe, the only r
After watching Megan fall asleep, I quietly left the room to get some air. It felt hot inside, even with the AC on and so I just had to step out. As I came out to the balcony, I took a deep breath in and let it out, just then I perceived the scent of cigar. I sniffed in again to be sure before looking down to the floor.There was someone seated downstairs by a dim-lit lamppost and it didn’t take me long to recognize him- Mr. Blackwood! I guess I wasn't the only one feeling this heat. Good thing he was outside, I could give him a piece of my heart while the heat within me was yet to die down.I hurried downstairs, taking the stairs as I feared using the elevator by this time; what if something went wrong? I might just be stuck there for the whole night.I got downstairs and quietly walked towards him, he had his back to me but he didn’t seem fazed by the sound of my foot as I approached, he remained still.“Do you have a heart? Are you even human?” I blurted the moment I was close to h
I woke up in the morning to find Megan sleeping very close to me, her arm was on my body. I gently raised her arm and got off the bed, letting it rest on the bed. Staring at her for a few seconds, I turned around and headed for the bathroom to brush my teeth.My first day in Botswana was not that bad, aside from the stress of the day and the drama of the evening, everything went smoothly. I had met this African lady who worked at one of the bars, she was nice to me. I had learnt that she was of both Nigeria and South African descent, and I think she inherited the best of both sides.Her name was Ugochi and even after several attempts at pronouncing it correctly, I still suck. She wouldn’t stop laughing each time I pronounced it, perhaps something to do with my accent. With them, the pronunciations were just deeper.For some reason, I was glad that MB had left me behind, else I would have never gone down to that bar nor met my new friend. I caused quite a stare last night, I had at lea
** ** Anna’s POV ** **“Aside from the fact that I have a little headache, the church service was one of the best things I have experienced in life.” Megan confessed the moment we stepped into the lodge.“Haha! I second that, it was a blast. Who knew African churches were such a vibe, I might just become religious if I stay here a few more weeks.” I laughed.“Wouldn’t even blame you,” Megan said and giggled. “And your friend is really cool, you sure are the best judge of characters.” She praised me, and I blushed.“You mean our friend, you seemed closer to her today than myself.” I joked.“Chill, we can share.” She said in a pleading tone and I laughed. This new found friendship between Megan and I seemed to change the game, we were bonding like we have been pals since forever.“Anyways, any update from Mr. Blackwood?” Megan queried.I pressed my lips together and waved my head. “Unfortunately no, I tried reaching him while we were in the Uber this morning but he didn’t take my call a
“Hi,” the man said with a smile as he turned to face me. “Oh, so sorry. I thought you were someone else,” I apologized immediately. “It is alright, you mistook me for Mr. Blackwood, so I guess you work with him, right?” I squinted my eyes before nodding. “Not quite, it is more like work for him,” I huffed. “Wait, so you know Mr. Blackwood?” I asked curiously. “Yes, as a matter of fact, I am part of the reason why he is here. You see I am the GM of the mining site for which he had come to Botswana.” “You mean the gate man?” I asked in genuine confusion He burst into laughter immediately. “No, I am the general manager, my name is Darky.” He introduced himself and offered a handshake. “Oh, I didn’t know there were two General managers,” I smiled and shook his hand. “I had only met the other one on Saturday, which is why I was confused when you said you were the GM.” He huffed and shook his head. “Yeah
I pulled back in shock, staring at her in disbelief with jaws slacked. She smiled at me with a questioning glare. “Relax, I don’t bite.” Her tipsy voice whispered. And with that, she went back to kissing me. If I thought Jimmy was a good kisser, Megan just made him feel like a learner. I was tempted to let it happen for a few seconds and then I stopped her, gently pushing her up to break the kiss. “Wait… please stop,” I said in a calm voice, trying not to hurt her feelings while struggling to catch my breath. “Why not?” she asked in a whisper, staring at me lovingly “You are drunk, Megan.” I muttered, looking at her with shock still written on my face. “So? That makes it even more fun,” she chuckled. I sighed and waved my head in disapproval. “I am sorry, we can't. It is not you, I just don’t do females,” I said, trying to put it in the nicest way I could think of at that moment. “Oh,” she muttered and then s
