The Curse Of Cain - Episode 18

They settled for a Royal Chinese Cuisine somewhere in an area of South Africa. It was the most beautiful restaurant Sonia has ever seen.

She looked around at the filled tables, there was not a doubt that each person there, was someone of a high nobility except her of course but who would have noticed, in the cloth she was wearing, those beautiful stiletto shoes and the flawless makeover, the gentlemen she had shaken hands with earlier all couldn’t stop kissing her hands.

Now, the men were busy talking business while she just sat, sipping her delicious wine.  Four representatives had come and they were all white men, each having a guard behind him.

Sonia focused on the ambient music that was being played by the live band, she enjoyed every minute of it even though she had no idea what the word meant.

While they sat at the table and the men discussed, she couldn’t help but stole occasional glances at Calvin.

. If this was his formal look, then he looked even more dashing in it….his blonde hair appeared more curled and even more shiny. His blue-back-suit and wine tie gave him a reckless dashing appearance and he looked even more dangerous …hot…

What? Did she just say he looked hot? Oh God! Sonia quickly averted her gaze and gulped down the remaining of her drink.

Something was off though

. All the investors looked quite old, the youngest amongst them couldn’t have been lesser than fifty and yet Calvin seemed in his late twenties or early thirties. Where did he meet all these people?

It was a table for five, the men were sitting at one while she sat at an adjacent table for two. She was the only one there. They needed to discuss privately and Calvin wanted to keep an eye on her even though there was a guard with her, he was standing behind her while she sat and sipped her wine. With this arrangement, she could glance towards them as often as she liked .

Calvin had a cocky smile, you know that type that involves only the pulling of one cheek, yeah that one, as he listened to one of the men and he had that sexy look as if he was having a mischief up his sleeve…while he listened to the men, their eyes came into contact for the first time that evening and she had to look away.

Damn it! That idiot knew I was looking at him all long, no wonder he had that stupid smile. He knew!

Sonia signaled to another waiter. She was only doing all this because of Ben, just because of Ben and to get back to him as soon as she could.

Some minutes after, after the Business men had left, Calvin realized Sonia wasn’t where he had last seen her.

“Where is she?” He asked the guard he had put in charge of her.

“At the bar.” The guard replied.

“Idiot, you are supposed to stay with her.”

“She said I was chasing away potential suitors.” The guard replied but Calvin shook his head and went to meet her at the bar.

He noticed she was laughing with one man who was busy talking with her and the way she threw her head back while laughing reminded him of one woman …who he tried hard not to think of…that was actually funny since he hadn’t even thought of Trister for many days now.

He knew he needed to be mature so as not to draw any attention to himself.

SONIA

I noticed Calvin but was surprised how he hadn’t said a single word to interrupt my discussion with the man I was talking to.

Even though all our discussions were quite stupid, well, I though I could make him jealous by having fun with another man, I needed this plan to work atleast, Madam Koffi said a challenge always works.

“You have such a beautiful beard Michael.” I said to the man.

“..and you are the most beautiful lady I have ever seen.” Michael replied, taking my hand to his lips…while he kissed my hand , I really wished Calvin would come and act all possessive, so I could finally floor him with my kissing-the-stranger-plan, however , I was surprised when he saw us and instead stood at my other side so I was facing Michael while backing him.

“Two cups of Martini please.” He said and I smiled , he definitely was ordering that for me, maybe the plan would work after all.

“Wow. Thanks handsome, you are such a gentleman.” I heard a female say, that was when I realized he was talking to another woman and had bought a drink for her as well. Didn’t he see me?

“Well, a beautiful lady like you shouldn’t stay at the bar alone.” Calvin kept on saying to this man, Michael was talking but I was listening to someone else.

“Should we get out of here?” I heard the woman say to him and without further a do, I noticed him leaving with the woman in a tight body hug mini dress, I couldn’t even see her face.

“Hey, baby, are you listening to me?” Michael asked but I wasn’t, instead, I overheard Calvin telling the guard-“hey, make sure she doesn’t leave that bar until I come okay.” Then he disappeared into the crowd.

That sly! Damn it! I hate him!
