Chapter 5
Two days later, the clattering of objects interrupted my call with Maurice. It was late in the afternoon, and Mr. Fidell had returned from work rather early.“How can you hide such a thing from me?!" That was Mrs. Fidell screaming at the top of her voice.I heard nothing in response, just a few whispers. Mr. Fidell's voice was obviously inaudible. I moved very close to the door to hear even the tiniest bit of detail of whatever the issue may be.The objects came clattering again.‘What the f*ck is happening?!"“Mom! Dad!" I heard an unfamiliar voice shout.“You guys should better get a grip of yourself, if you fight one more time, I am leaving the house!" The female voice retorted with finality.Mr. Fidell spoke with a calm voice. “I am not fighting, if only your mom would understand"“Understand? Seriously? To hell with you! You are a disgrace to this family!" Mrs. Fidell blurted out.Somehow, this event made me reminsce about my little happy family, and the blissful moments we had when my mother was alive. Dad and mom never quarrelled or fought over any issue, or maybe they did and I never really got to know. They were not so young love birds who appeared lovey-dovey most of the time.I heard stomping footsteps move towards the doorway. ‘Lizzie!' I struggled to push my head I had stuck out, right in, but oh! I was late!.“Mind your business! Ugly duckling!" She said in a fury, pointing to my face. She was green with anger.Lizzie's threat to her parents gave the impression of an Army General order to his subordinates, as the whole noise died down the very moment she stormed out of the kitchen.Still keen to know the issue that had caused such an uproar, I decided to ask Letticia later in the day. It appeared she wasn't home, I couldn't remember seeing her that afternoon. We had spoken to each other briefly before she left the estate, carrying a backpack.Mrs. Fidell and I collided shortly after, she tried acting okay. Her eyes betrayed her, they were red from crying.“Your dad's not coming next week as promised" she told me.When she spoke I caught a glimpse of Letticia and Lizzie at the spot where Lizzie and I had stayed two nights before. Letticia embraced Lizzie, patting her on the back.‘Lizzie is not tough as she looks'I gave up on finding out the reason for the whole drama, the full house was sad.My dad must have chosen to share the postponement of his return to the Fidell's, to avoid making me disappointed. I still could bet I was.****The reason for the whole drama was revealed earlier than I expected. Letticia told me herself. Her father had confessed to his wife about the family he had, before they courted. His first wife had bore him a son, who was just three years of age when the marriage was dissolved.Mr. Fidell moved away from the City he once resided and went ahead to change his last name, hoping to start a total new life with a new family. His ex wife on the other hand, remarried months later. This new family happened to be Mrs. Fidell and her daughters.Now, her father summoned the courage to break the news to Mrs. Fidell because he wanted his company to be in safe hands in years to come, and a son was apparently needed to take over his multi-billion dollar company.“Men would always be men!" Letticia said with contempt.“I was such a fool to think I had a large part of my father's property as his first child" she continued, laughing painfully.I went ahead to pacify Letticia. “I am really sorry for what happened"“And then... My mom would look like a bad woman! A greedy woman who wanted everything for herself and her children!" Letticia went on.Mrs. Fidell had no idea of her husband's earlier marriage and child. ‘Poor Mrs. Fidell!'“A woman could also control the affairs of a company, isn't it?" She asked me wide-eyed.I couldn't imagine my dad coming up with a tale like that. I laughed jocularly.”Ofcourse Letticia, it is this way because someone else came before you, his son..."Mr. Fidell didn't just confess, he made it known to his family that his son is to live in their estate with them to prepare him for the task ahead.Mrs. Fidell was reclined to her room for days, Lizzie remained bleak and Letticia less cheerful. I could sense Mr. Fidell's guilt and worry, he normalized returning to the estate very late at night. Too embarrassed to look in the faces of his family.However, Mr. Fidell's son was to arrive regardless of the situation. In no time, the woman and her girls began to return to their once cheerful selves, except ofcourse for Lizzie.Mr. Fidell accompanied his son to the estate the next Saturday, his wife welcomed him with open arms, Lizzie's face was still sullen and Letticia, a little reluctant. Still, she grinned from ear to ear.I was stunned when I got to see Mr. Fidell's son, now I understood the reason for Letticia's incessant grin. ‘He was definitely too much than I expected.' A tall frame, full lips and strong arms which were quite noticeable despite the tuxedo he wore. I swallowed hard.For few minutes, I stood at the stairs lusting over him. He took off the sunglasses he wore and squinted his eyes. Beneath his sunglasses was the most perfect set of eyes. My body began to feel funny. ‘Gosh! Why is he so hot?"I had the stupid thought of wishing my dad could stay longer for his contract. ‘I couldn't leave the Fidell's estate just yet! Not after beholding the sight of this tall glass of Cabernet Sauvignon wine!'While I retreated, our eyes met. He was somewhat mortified.‘Did he notice I had been staring for so long?'For the first time, my heart fluttered for a man at first sight!Chapter 6Maurice's POVI tried to hide my excitement, as I sat waiting for the love of my life. ‘How would I break the good news to her?' I cleared my throat while adjusting my tie, practicing the best way I would reveal I had found a new job to Natalie.The message for my job contract came in a week after my mom left for a business meeting in Norway, she was chosen to go along with the boss of the company where she worked.I could feel my hands shaking nervously no matter how hard I tried to conceal it. In the aired lounge, I felt sweat trickling down my biceps. I still wondered if the news of getting a job as a sales representative would make Natalie elated.While reading the contract text from Salesrite Company for the twentieth time, I tried to figure out what was enthralling about tuxedos that made people wear them. Still in great discomfort because of my attire, I studied the finishings and splendid beauty of the Five Star Restaurant I booked.After the first date with Natalie,
Chapter 7Natalie's POVStill drenched, I arrived the Fidell's estate. As I waved to the two security men outside, I walked briskly into the estate, having only the thought of taking a shower and retiring to bed after the enjoyable date I had with Maurice.Reminiscing about the night's event, I smiled all through my way to the entrance door, blushing hard when the thought of Maurice's massage and he carrying me in his arms came to my mind.I had barely made a soft press on the door bell when it swung open, the figure I saw in front of me made me forget every thought I have had earlier about Maurice, it was John Fidell's son and he was wearing just pants, no shirts on, and a paint brush in his left hand.The paintbrush had red hue on it, which I believed must have soiled his skin. The red hue was visible on one of his nipples, nipples that seemed too pronounced and attractive for a man. I tried to stop my eyes from running through his body. In split seconds, I had thoroughly examined
The reveal that John Fidell's son was Kevin Fawcett all this while, heightened my feelings for him. ‘Who wouldn't fall all over again for a guy she once loved? Her first love?'This was same for Kevin, as he stole glances at me at any given opportunity. Mr. Fidell was still working on his plan for Kevin to join in his company, Letticia attended College from home, she was in her last year.Lizzie left home for school in the mornings and Mrs. Fidell was too busy in her jewelry store. Still awaiting my father's return, I remained at the Fidell's estate and soon, Kevin and I was all alone at home. The first day was unplanned. Kevin was drawing once again in the living room, the art of a large teary blue eye. I stood behind him, admiring his skill and craft. “What happened after high school? It's been four whole years Nat" He asked.I narrated all that happened, I had gone ahead to study Public Relations within those four years after I was done with High School at 15. It wasn't same for
*NORWAY*In Norway, Mark Escobar sat close to a beach, enjoying the beautiful scenery. He let his thoughts wander from his successful meetings in Norway, his daughter, Natalie, and the beautiful distraction that had kept him in Norway all this while.‘My daughter must have been awaiting my return' he mused, popping the cigar he held in his right hand. He reduced the ash by tapping gently on the cigar with his fingers, and moved forward to bringing his cell phone out of his pocket, as he sipped the liquor from the glass he had kept on the small wooden table beside him.Through his dialled contacts, Mark Escobar could see the name of his precious daughter. He formed the habit of calling Natalie daily, since his trip to Norway. Beneath his daughter's name was a number he had saved with the term “Beaut." The number of an Administrative Officer in Blossom Incorporations, a small company Mark Escobar once had the thought to buy as his own.However, his plans changed as the beautiful Admin
Kevin's POVI couldn't get the last experience with Natalie off my head. Seeing her face the in the estate after the event, brought everything fresh in mind. ‘How could I forget the lushness of her coochie, the musical way she moaned and the seductive manner in which she rolled her eyes?'I wanted more than that, a mind blowing, unforgettable experience!. When she spoke to Letticia, I imagined her voice moaning in my head. I stole lustful glances at her anytime she walk past me, pretending nothing as exciting as that had ever happened between us. I do not know the best way to describe what I felt for Natalie. ‘Was it infatuation? Lust? or true love?' That, I couldn't discern. All I knew was Natalie made me have wild unimaginable thoughts, one which I have never felt for any woman, so strong that I lose my control each time I caught the sight of her. On this particular evening, I stood at the balcony closest to Natalie's room, desperately yearning to feed my eyes with her ethereal be
Natalie's POVSlowly, the bouts of intimacy I had with Kevin began to get into my head clouding the good thoughts I once had over Maurice. I searched for invisible faults and diverse excuses to avoid meeting him, ‘after all he never looked me in the face proposing to me to be his girlfriend' I concluded that Maurice and I, had just chemistry which I thought was love before Kevin came back into the picture. Kevin and I went on and on quenching our insatiable sexual desires. Perhaps, Kevin was right when he said no man would ever make me feel as good as he did. I found myself reaching out to him for rounds of pleasure over and over again, we had quickies at the living room, balcony, his room and mine. I couldn't have enough of Kevin's touch. This chilly morning, Kevin and I was seated in a jacuzzi in one of the rooms with no occupant. We had deliberately chosen there to avoid the security men from suspecting any foul move between us. We sat giggling and splashing water on ourselves l
I sat still looking aghast, finding the best way to reply Maurice and the best word to use. ‘No?' I didn't think that was the best response to give Maurice, I certainly do not want to hurt him and I enjoyed his company a whole lot. ‘Yes?' What about Kevin? His soft touch, the dirty words he spoke that I love, the steamy romance that drives me nuts and that sweet large thing between his legs? The length, the girth, the veins I see when I look at them, and how it fills me up when it's stuck inside of me. ‘Gosh!' I was in a dilemma. I looked pitifully at Maurice, he was staring at me, patiently waiting for my response. “This... This came unexpected Maurice, I will think about it" “Sure, I'd be waiting" he said. I searched for Kevin through the window, he was still outside the premise, standing beside the black Range Rover Velar he came with. “I will be off now, see you soon" I bade Maurice goodbye. “Let me see you off" he insisted“No" I opted, meeting Kevin might not end well. I
That night my dad and I went home. That meant no more sizzling moments with Kevin? I was somewhat sad. From the brief discussion my dad and Mr. Fidell had near his car before we left their home, I knew it was now time to get to work. It has always been my dad's desire for me to work as his Director in the Department of Operations and Human Resources and also render help on Social Media Management inorder to minimize crisis that might arise in the company. Hence, the need for studying Public Relation in the College I attended. Mr. Fidell and my dad exchanged pleasantries once again. “Thank you for accommodating my daughter this long John, you are a friend indeed" my dad said. “Natalie is my daughter too, you would have done the same if tables were turned" Mr. Fidell replied with a smile, shaking hands with my father. “My son would work as a CEO in my company, starting from next week" Mr. Fidell revealed. “Your son? Fiona eventually got to know?" My dad asked in a whisper. I shoo
