SURVIVOR: Ghost – Bodyguard Series (S01 • E06) 🩸🔞
By:- Adewole Kelvin
“CHANCES”
Abushe’s Pov
Truthfully, in terms of beauty, Sandra isn’t off the charts. Many could queue up for her, because she’s hot, but she’s ugly on the inside. After I caught her having ‘Netflix and chill’ with another man, there’s no denial. Everybody has their own nasty side, including me, but hers is beyond expectation.
After chasing her out, I locked my room door and went into the loo to rinse off the semen on my private parts, then walked out back. I took out an oversized sweater shirt and joggers from my wardrobe and slipped into them. I applied cream to my hair to make it curly and smooth, then pierced my earrings into my ears. Next, I stepped out of the house and took a leisurely walk, taking in the sights and sounds. I greeted some neighbors and got into the streets, exchanging pleasantries and catching up. It was a real way to clear my head and feel connected to the street.
In the process of doing that, one of them, whom I knew as Knox, offered me a cigar as a gesture of friendship and hospitality. He’s a chain smoker, and everyone knew him for that, but he’s older than me, more like a big brother. He was a lifesaver. He once saved me from being bullied by some ghetto street boys, even threatening them to stay away from me and never cross paths with me again. That was after I relocated here to Toronto. One day, I decided to take a walk away from home to view the new place I had just arrived in when the ghetto thugs ambushed me, and I was outnumbered. I couldn’t face them alone to avoid getting beaten to a stupor. But before anything bad happened to me, Knox came to my aid.
As soon as they saw Knox, they took off like antelopes and dispersed, as if Knox was a lion from the jungle. With that, I knew there was more to the relationship between those ghetto thugs and Knox, and I felt something must be going on between the two rivals. It was a big surprise to me when the thugs took off and went their separate ways that day. Thenceforth, I never saw those ghetto boys again. In the aftermath, Knox and I became casual friends.
However, I ignored the cigar he offered me in a friendly and gestural manner.
Knox: Come on, brudda! Take a puff!
.
Abushe: Not really my thing.
.
Knox: Suit yourself. Stay safe!!
.
Abushe: (thumbs up) You made a pretty big point of that. Thanks, man. See you around!
Knox nods in agreement, lighting the tip of his cigar, while I went my own way, taking in the sights and sounds of the area with my hands deep in my pockets. I stumbled upon a fantastic bar while exploring the neighborhood. Upon entering the bar, I collided with another friend named Billie. Unlike Knox, we’re closer as financial braggarts. All thanks to him, he’s the reason I’m financially independent. In terms of money, I could say he’s richer and better because he’s also involved in illegal activities. But he’s a socialite and a womanizer. There was a time he threw a big party with fifty ladies in attendance. There wasn’t a day I ran into him without seeing him with a woman at his house. He has his way with many women as he wants without a care in the world. At the end of the day, he dumps them after satisfying his sexual desires with them
Due to that, the friendship between us has been distant. He preferred to spend his time with women. Aside from that, those were the things he did that made me despise his character so much. He is a drug addict, and there were times he had persuaded me to get involved in it with him. But I ignored his offer, knowing how implicating and harmful hard drugs are. The worst of it is that it could lead to early death, which is why I had to distance myself from him as much as I can.
But here, before my eyes, Billie is standing and wrapping his arms around the waist of one of his side chicks, Alice, whom I know. He even planted a kiss on her neck as we met and exchanged greetings
Abushe: Hey, Billie!
.
Billie: (ignoring him) Look, if I were you, I’d be praying not to pass out from the intense ‘Netflix and chill’ session I have planned for us at home. It’s going to be a wild one, baby!
.
Alice: Uh-huh. That’s what you said last time but you usually end up collapsing on me instead, with pills or without pills.
.
Abushe: (gawks) ??
.
Billie: (snarl) Are you underestimating ME?
.
Alice: *Impotent fool* What? Why? No, I dare not… No one will ever handle me like you do, honey. So, why would I underestimate you? (kisses him) Don’t be like this, honey. I’m so sorry, okay? I love you… By the way, your friend is greeting you.
.
Billie: (looks at abushe) Darn it! Look, I’m sorry for not responding, lad.
.
Abushe: No worries at all. I see you’re having fun with your betterhalf. That’s good!
.
Billie: Yeah, you’re right! I was planning to her some english lesson at home. But the pronto already screwed up.
.
Alice: “Pronto?” Oh honey, that sounds like you’re still upset at me. I apologize to you seconds ago. Don’t be like that? (caressing Billie’s chest)
.
Billie: Yeah, whatever! (facing a Abushe) Besides, I’ve got only one life, man. So it’s best for me to enjoy it while it lasts.
.
Abushe: You made a big point!
.
Billie: Yeah! It was fortnight ago I saw you last. What’re you up to?
.
Abushe: Well, Just hanging out, relaxing. That’s all.
.
Billie: That’s good too! (whispering) You’re a fool, abushe. You know why? I asked you to join the drug business, so you could make more money quickly, like me. You kept declining my offer. Loook at that brand new bugatti over there, I own it. Thankfully, you’re aware that my compound is filled with dozens of luxury cars. The bugatti you see is the smallest of the cars I own at home. I know you’re doing well too, and it’s all thanks to me, I made it happen. But that’s not enough. If you don’t take risks, how will you achieve your goals? Come on, be wise! It may be risky, but it’s worth the shot, man!
.
Abushe: (sighs) Honestly, Billie. You’re not selfish..
.
Billie: (chuckles) Oh, did you hear that, babe?
.
Alice: (pretends) Of course, baby! He is right!
.
Abushe: (grinning) I’m glad to know that from you Alice.
.
Alice: (winks at him) You’re welcome!
.
Abushe: (continues) I said that because you’re such a kind of person who wants to see his people around him also flourish. You tag them along to become successful too. Even they’re not up to your standards, yet, you make that happen for them. And one of them is me. See Billie, I appreciate your efforts and kindness but I’m glad to say, I’m contented with the terms you’ve given me to achieve my financial freedom. Aside from that, I’m planning a big project. Moreover, as long as I’m living comfortably and happy, that is enough for me. But let’s do it this way, I’ll apprise you whenever I’m interested In your idealistic business.
.
Billie: Suit yourself. But I want you to know that comfort and happiness isn’t enough. By now, you should’ve own your mansion and cars. Even a flying jet of your own if you was the same page with me but you’re so intractable to convince. However, planning a big project sounds pretty good to me. A project can house, company and many more. Atleast, that alone shows the step you’re taking towards achieving what you wanted and I wish you the best of luck on your projects.
.
Abushe: Thanks, B.
.
Billie: Yeah! (whisper) Look, I’ll say it over and over again. Come one, Join me. Even if it is once to see how fortunate is this drug business are.
.
Abushe: (clears his throat) You know what? We’d talk later, B. Don’t let me keep the both of you waiting. Go and enjoy your woman at home.
.
Billie: Hmph! Coward. Anyways, I hope to see you in the concert tonight.
.
Abushe: Sure, till then, B!
.
Billie: (laughs) Coward! He is afraid of being apprehended by the cops.
.
Abushe: (enters the bar)I’ll pretend like I didn’t heard that.
.
Billie: See you around, coward. Let’s get going, baby.
.
Alice: Sure! Bye abushe!
.
Billie: (pulls her) Shut the hell up and let’s go!
.
Alice: Chill out, honey! It is just a bye
.
Billie: Whatever. Move forward
As soon as I entered the bar, I was stunned by the captivating sight. What stunned me more was the number of people, and most of them were white. Some were watching a huge TV, others played snooker, and some sat alone, lost in their drinks. I looked around for an empty seat and found one in seconds. After sitting down, a bartender offered me what I wanted.
An hour passed, and I was still in the bar, chilling and having my fifth drink. I was focused on my phone, but I was also self-conscious about my surroundings. Suddenly, a group of men sitting a few distances away from me started murmuring among themselves. Although they weren’t loud enough for anyone to hear what they were saying, I could catch a few words. At first, I wanted to ignore them, but then I decided to perk up and listen to what they were discussing. From the way they sounded, they were talking about someone or something beautiful. Additionally, I noticed some people in the bar shifting their attention in a lustful manner towards a certain direction.
In the process, I noticed five men on different seats scratching their lower regions. I wondered, if not that they’d seen someone tempting, why on earth would they do that? And what could be so captivating that would turn their heads? In that moment, I felt curious and turned my head to take a look at what could have possibly mesmerized the men, only to see a woman with dark long blonde hair, standing at the entrance of the bar. From the look of her, it seemed like she was just entering the bar because she was scanning around, looking for a spare chair to sit on. What’s so special about this lady? To me, her dress wasn’t too revealing.
She wore a white knitted sweater and a black skirt with net leggings and boots. I couldn’t help but notice how stylish she looked. Her heart-shaped face, turned-up nose, and piercing light blue eyes made her a stunning sight. Her red lips and sinewy body physique only added to her beauty. As she walked towards an unoccupied chair, her confident stride caught my attention. I noticed the way her body moved with grace and poise, and I couldn’t help but admire her overall appearance.
Her figure is a wonder to behold, but the lustful eyes in the bar are still fixed on her as she sits down gently with a serious expression, which I noticed when she first came in. What’s more, she looks familiar to a lady I knew in Ontario. The main difference is their hair and skin color. The one I knew had red hair and olive skin, while this one has dark hair and pale skin. She’s a beautiful!
The image of the redhead I knew in Ontario and the dark-haired woman I just saw in the bar left me confused. Could she be the doppelganger of the redhead I knew? To be sure, I sneaked a glance at her face and was taken aback by the freckles. Then, I noticed a circular birthmark on the left side of her neck while she was talking to the bartender. Instantly, it brought back memories of the redhead I knew. I remembered seeing the same birthmark on her neck. It was shocking to see it on the dark-haired woman too. Everything clicked into place, and I couldn’t believe who I was seeing. I felt both outraged and astonished, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
I couldn’t help but stare at her captivating figure with admiration. As I sat there, my stomach was doing flips with excitement, like a teenager on their first date. My heart was racing, and I had butterflies in my stomach as I couldn’t take my eyes off her while she sipped her drink. I was frozen in place, unable to smile or move, but feeling intensely comfortable as I watched her enjoy her moment, her face slightly tilted down. As if she knew I was looking at her, she raised her face and looked straight in my direction, making my heart race even more. I wanted to wink or wave at her to show my excitement, but I was paralyzed. It was as if my body was controlled by an invisible force, fixed on her like a robot.
However, I expected her to be surprised to see me in the bar. Instead, she turned her head back after gazing at me with piercing blue eyes for a while. From the look on her face, she seemed to be wondering why I was staring at her like that. If only she knew how thrilled I was to see her again! I couldn’t help but notice how captivating she looked, especially her red lips. I found myself imagining what it would be like to taste her lips. Her presence had a strong effect on me, and I felt my phallus achieving erection.
After examining me for a while, she pulled out her phone and stared at it. Suddenly, I received an alert on my phone about a $10,000 deposit into my Gmail and bank account. I rubbed my eyes, wondering if I was seeing things. But when I looked again, the same figure was still on my screen. I was skeptical, so I checked my surroundings before logging into my Gmail account. To my surprise, the amount was still there. I also checked my bank account, and indeed, $10,000 had been credited to it. My eyes widened in shock and amazement at the sudden windfall. At first, I thought it might be a scam, but after verifying my bank account, I realized it was real.
The most surprising thing is that the money was sent by Billie, whom I had spoken to just an hour ago. I wondered why he sent me the money. Although it wasn’t the first time he had sent me money, the amount of $10,000 was astonishing. The last time he sent me money was when we were getting close, and it was $500 at his mansion. I remembered he asked for my bank account, which I gave him before I left. I couldn’t understand why he would send such a large amount. What if it was a mistake? But if it was, he would have called me immediately. I felt there was more to this money than I could understand, and I needed to find the right answer.
After finding out, I swiped through my phone and tried to call him. But then, I saw her rushing out of the bar, her backside twitching with each pace. I wondered what was wrong with her because I caught her rubbing her cheek as she hurried out in tears. Was she sobbing? Just then, I noticed an earring near the chair she was sitting in. I immediately stood up to pick it up and exited the bar, knowing it belonged to her. Besides, I didn’t want to miss another chance to win her heart this time.
Luckily, I saw her standing near a black power bike, which I assumed was hers. Although I only saw her back, I couldn’t help but notice her smooth thighs in the net leggings she wore. As I approached her, I wondered why she left the bar in such a hurry, especially since I saw her rubbing her face like she was upset. From the look of her, I felt like something was bothering her, but I didn’t know what
As I approached her, I started to hear her whimpering voice. At first, I wasn’t sure if I was really hearing it, but as soon as I reached her side, I was struck by the sound of her sobs. It was like she was mourning the loss of someone. The sound of her crying pierced me to the core, and I felt paralyzed in that moment. I couldn’t move or speak for a few seconds. I wondered what could have happened to make her break down like this. Did she catch her partner cheating? Or was it something else entirely.
Besides, she’s a splendor for any guy to cheat on. She’s got features every man wants in a woman. What else? Except such a man is an animal. What could truly be the problem? God! I despise it when I see women cry. It shatters me to the core. In that moment, I couldn’t hold it any longer, as much as I felt paralyzed to move. And when I made my move, upon holding her right shoulder, to my utmost shock and surprise, as if she saw it coming, she quickly parried my hand and turned around easily with a roundhouse kick that smashed across my midsection. The impact of her kick sent me lying flat on my back.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, she mounted on my stomach and clenched the collar of my sweater tight, trying to punch me with her fist behind her face, and a dead look on her face, not to mention the tears that welled up in her eyes. Before she could punch me in the face with her balled fist, I lamented that I had come to hand over her earring to her, showing it to her face. In that moment, I couldn’t help but stare into her eyes with fright, thinking about what was going to happen next after my lamentations. She got off me.
With the hope that she would take her earring from me, she got off me and hastily climbed onto her power bike, turning on the engine. Next, she rode off speedily, abandoning her earring with me. I would have loved to stop her, but words couldn’t be expressed as I watched her disappear out of sight on her speedy bike. I stood there, giving the earring one more look, when a lady with long dreadlocks walked up to me from where she was standing earlier. From the look of her appearance, she seemed like a ghetto freak, not to mention the tattoos on her body.
Lady: Howdy, handsome?
.
Abushe: (looks at her) Hello!
.
Lady: Are you okay?
.
Abushe: Yes, I’m (raising an eyebrow)
.
Lady: Actually, I saw what happened between you and the lady recently, so I decided to check on you. You know, to see if you’re hurt.
.
Abushe: I’m fine! Thanks for your concern.
.
Lady: Yeah! If I may ask you, was that your betterhalf? I mean, the crazy lady that just kicked your ass?
.
Abushe: And what if she is? So are you going to judge me or what?
.
Lady: No, but she’s really a wild one, boy. Moments ago, I caught her engaging in a fight with two guys in the street. Two guys against her seemed like a mismatch, as those guys aren’t anyone to mess with. They’re perilous, and even the cops can’t handle them easily. To my shock, your partner, whatever she is to you, defeated the guys in the most brutal way beyond recognition. Honestly, I really admire her bravery because I never expected her to defeat those guys. Little did she know, it was a suicidal move anyway.
.
Abushe: S – suicidal move? What’re you talking about?
.
Lady: Boy, really? You’re seriously asking me that? Look, boy, if you don’t know, I mean the word D-E-A-T-H – DEATH! As for as I’m concerned, you’re a dead man already because you’re not safe with her.
.
Abushe: (shocked) What!?
.
Lady: Look, I shouldn’t be telling you this at all because I’m not a good person either. You and your partner are just fortunate to see my good sides. If not, I know what I can do. Aside from that, I didn’t expect to see you or your girlfriend around. Knowing fully what kind of danger she is, I decided to interfere in your matters to avoid a ticket to the afterlife because I know those guys more than you think. As a matter of fact, they’re gangsters and very dangerous ones who live to terrorize the streets without a care in the world.
.
Abushe: I guess you’re talking about the MS-13?
.
Lady: Listen, unlike MS-13, these gangsters cause violence and damage within the streets on a low key. But that was then. Now, it’s as if they don’t care anymore because they’re causing more problems than ever in public. The worst part is that they’re now spreading gradually like a wild fire in Toronto, which is giving the cops a hard time apprehending them.
.
Abushe: (frightening) How do you know all this?
.
Lady: It’s none of your fucking business. If I were you and your partner, I’d lay low. If possible, the two of you should relocate out of this country completely if you truly love each other. Otherwise, the two of you will end up spending the rest of your life in the afterlife with your relatives, and I’m sure you wouldn’t want that to happen. So lay low and stay out of their sight. I’ve warned you enough. Good luck to the two of you.
As soon as she finished her statement, she turned around and walked back to her spot, leaving me in a state of confusion and trepidation. Before long, I left the area.
Tbc…
