Chapter 10

Romeo

Saturday night late I went to my club in the middle of Las Vegas, Club X the manager had a new hip and upcoming DJ playing at the club and I wanted to see how the vibe is. I was still upset with Maya for not taking the phone, I would have spoken to her a few times already but now I have no way of getting hold of her. So next best thing is work. When I got to the club it was busy there wasn’t space for a mouse in the club, which was great for business not so good for security and keeping everyone safe. If the fire Marchelle come to do an inspection, he would most definitely close us down. I decided to go to my office and watch the life feeds from my office. I poured myself a drink and watched the camera’s, one girl kept on catching my eye it’s like I knew her but I wasn’t sure. She was with a few girls. Something caught one of her friends’ eyes and she talked to the girl. The girl couldn’t get out of the club soon enough. She walked straight to the door just before she got to the door the guy grabbed her arm when she turned around, I realized it was Maya. I grab my jacket and tried to get down to the front door as quick as I could but with all the people around, I didn’t get to the outside of the club in time. When I got outside there was no one except the bodyguard JP if I wasn’t mistaken. “Can I help you Sir?” He asked me. I looked around frantically, “Did you ….” Then I decided what was the chances he saw her or even knew her. “Never mind JP, all good.” I called Lucas to bring my G-Wagon around I just wanted to go home. I let her slip through my fingers yet again. On our way to my house, I looked out the window like I might see her on the way to my house what was the chances anyway. When I got home, I went straight to my office looking at my calendar I saw I had the welcome back party on Tuesday which I was not in the mood for. I was more interested in the plans for Friday night. If I had anything on, I will most definitely move it to be able to go to the club again I need to see Maya again. I won’t stop looking for her, there was something about her I wanted her and I wanted her badly.

Jennifer

Monday came quickly I had a very busy weekend and was still tired but my business can’t run without its owner. I got up at 4 am when my alarm went off. I got dressed and put my hair in a bun then I was out of the house when I got at my bakery Eleanor was already there busy with her first batch of cupcakes. “Morning Eleanor.” “Morning Jenn. How was your weekend?” she asked while giving me a strong cup of coffee. “Busy.” “Good you still young you need to go out.” Eleanor was deep in her 50s and more like a mom to me, she came in my bakery basically when I just opened and asked for a job, her husband just divorced her and she had no way to earn an income. I felt sorry for her and offered her a job on the spot, I’m not disappointed one day in my life Eleanor can bake she made all the vanilla cupcakes in the bakery. Vanilla with strawberries and cream, Vanilla with orange you name it she can bake it my specialty is more the chocolate variety. Sometimes I ask for advise about my personal life but I try not to do that often but she do know about my father and my riff about my ‘Hobby’ “How was lunch yesterday?” she asked while I was busy getting my ingredients ready for the batches of cupcakes I needed to bake. “Same old same old.” “That good.” “Actually, worse I need to go with him to a party Tuesday night a welcome home party for one of his friends.” “If it’s one of his friends why on earth do you have to go with?” Very good question Eleanor I said to myself. “Apparently it’s going to be black tie and you know my dad he doesn’t like to go to a black-tie event alone no matter what it’s for.” “I take it the rich people can’t have a party if it’s not black tie?” “You are correct.” “I’m sorry darling.” “It’s just what I have to do Eleanor.” “It’s not fair towards you?” “I don’t think my father see it that way.” Eleanor and I got quiet while we are baking up a storm. Every morning, we bake a new batch for the store and we bake between customers when we have an order. At 9 am I got rid of my apron and made sure the display cabinets where full before I open the door. We had a few regular customers that comes in every morning for their sugar rush and caffeine. Yes, I also sell coffee. A few regulars came in and before we knew it it was 10 am already. When I looked up to ask the next customer what they wanted I looked straight into my exes’ eyes. “Kyle”

“Morning Jenn we need to talk.” “No, I don’t think so.” “Come on Jenn there is no one in the bakery right now just a few minutes of your time.” I knew if I didn’t do it, he won’t go away. “Fine. Let me just tell Eleanor.” I walked to the kitchen “Eleanor Kyle is here he wants to talk can you keep an eye on the front please.” “Yes, but if he gets rude, I’m kicking him out.” “Don’t worry I’ll do it myself.” “Good” Eleanor moved to the front of the store and I took a seat with Kyle. “I’m listening.” I said to him very irritated. “I’m sorry okay I want you back.” “I don’t think so Kyle, you only used me in fact you admitted it I’m not taking you back.” “Please Jenn we are made for each other.” “Kyle no, now if you will please leave.” He didn’t like me putting him out “You still into freaky sex?” He sneered at me. I asked him once to slap my ass and now I’m into freaky sex, if he only knew. “Fuck of Kyle.” “You do know you not going to get anyone better than me.” “Really Kyle you think so much of yourself.” “No babe I know no one would want you, if it wasn’t for your dad’s money I wouldn’t want you either.” I was shocked I just stood there I couldn’t say anything I saw Eleanor came towards me, “Kyle leave now.” Clearly, she saw Kyle was getting under my skin. “You don’t have to ask me twice I’m done!” he screamed at me, before he walked out of the bakery. He actually turned around and said “Who wants to be seen in such a crappy bakery anyways.” The tears started running down my cheeks he was playing on all my insecurities and he knew it.
