BAD BOY

 

I looked at her bewildered face and I came back to my senses. I stood up

 

Me: I’m sorry.

 

She looked down feeling embarrassed and I smiled

 

Me: just that I admire sexy girls, with the beauty and brains

 

I heard her chuckling

 

Me: if you don’t like the dress, you can change it

 

Rosa: I don’t have any other

 

Me: you didn’t check the closet?

 

She looked up

 

Rosa: are they clothes in the closet?

 

I walked to the closet and opened it to show the clothes in it

 

Me: I ordered all of them

 

She stood up and walked to my side then grinned at the closet which was packed full

 

Rosa: when did you order them?

 

Me: the same time I ordered the one you’re wearing, I only picked this one and dropped it on the bed

 

Rosa: wow

 

She brought out a joggers and sweater

 

Rosa: I love this

 

I grinned

 

Me: you should change let’s go out. I don’t want my men to be destabilized

 

She smiled a little

 

Me: I’ll excuse you for five minutes then I’ll be back

 

Rosa: I won’t even take up to three minutes. I’m a fast dresser

 

Me: now that’s perfect. I’ll be waiting at the hallway

 

She nodded and I left. As I walked a few meters, I saw Leon coming

 

Leon: boss

 

He bowed

 

Me: where are you going?

 

Leon: I was looking for you

 

Me: what for?

 

Leon: because I have to….show you the new development in the bank that was hacked

 

Me: perfect. Just the news I was waiting for

 

I lighted a cigarette and threw the lighter to him. He caught it and I also threw my pack of cigarettes to him. He caught it but hesitated in bringing his hand down from the air. He was just looking behind me

 

Me: what are you looking at?

 

I turned back and raised an eyebrow

 

Leon: whoa…

 

Me: you took two minutes

 

She smiled shyly

 

Leon moved forward

 

Leon: you must be leaving now, I’ll lead you out and drop you off

 

He was trying to walk towards Rosa but I dragged him back

 

Me: Rosa is not leaving

 

Leon: then why is she all dressed up

 

Me: don’t question me. You can go now

 

Leon frowned

 

Me: I said you can go now

 

Leon: yes boss

 

He turned and reluctantly left

 

Rosa finally spoke up after staring at the both of us since

 

Rosa: you shouldn’t have been that harsh. You could have been more nicer

 

I looked at her and chuckled evilly

 

Me: I’m never nice. The only person I’m nice to is you

 

She looked down at her bare white feet

 

Rosa: not even Fedora?

 

It was in a mumble so it wasn’t that audible but I heard her. Nevertheless, I still asked

 

Me: what did you say?

 

Rosa: nothing

 

I sighed and looked at her figure. Her long hair was in a ponytail and she was wearing the grey joggers and sweater she took from the closet

 

Me: you look good. Now let’s top it up with a pair of shoes

 

She looked at her feet then chuckles softly

 

I took her hand

 

Me: let’s go to my room

 

Rosa: OK

 

We moved to my room and I closed the door. Her eyes immediately went to the wallpaper on the wall opposite my door

 

Rosa: oh my God

 

She covered her eyes and looked down

 

I chuckled and removed her hand from her face

 

Me: is it that bad?

 

She looked directly at me, trying to avoid seeing the wallpaper

 

Rosa: why do you have something like that?

 

Me: because I like it

 

She shook her head and looked down

 

It was a wallpaper of a completely naked girl with her vital organs wide open.

 

Me: I’m thinking I should change that wallpaper

 

I said as I pulled her to seat on a cushion

 

Rosa: yes please change it

 

Me: I’m thinking I should change it to yours

 

Rosa: NO!

 

The way she screamed and jerked off made me laugh so hard that my eyes became teary

 

Me: you’re so full of drama

 

I stood up and went to my shoe rack and pulled out two grey sneakers then walked back to her

 

I squatted

 

Me: I hope it fits in

 

I lifted her foot and slipped the shoe in.

 

Rosa: fits perfectly

 

I took the other foot and slipped it in before standing up. She stood up too and twirled around then gave three acrobatic dance steps

 

I was amazed

 

Me: you’re a dancer?

 

Rosa: no… But I can dance

 

Me: huh

 

Rosa: not everyone who knows how to dance is a dancer

 

Me: OH

 

She clasped her hands and stared at me as if waiting for me to give her orders

 

I crossed my arms against my chest and stared at her too

 

Rosa: Bad Boy…..

 

Me: Bad Girl….

 

She dropped her hands and frowned

 

Rosa: what! I’m not a bad girl.

 

Me: then what should I call you? Unnie?

 

She shook her head

 

Me: ahjumma?

 

She shook her head again

 

Me: then what should I call you?

 

Rosa: Rosalyn

 

I chuckled

 

Rosa: what was that for?

 

Me: your name is too long

 

Rosa: no it’s not

 

Me: yes it is

 

I moved towards my closet

 

Rosa: where are you going?

 

Me: to shower. Wait for me in your room!

 

I opened the door of the closet and walked inside, I turned back to see Rosa but she wasn’t there anymore

 

I dropped my gun on the bed before undressing then I took it again to the bathroom

 

ROSA

 

I walked back to my room and stood in front of the mirror. I loved the way I looked, and I was slightly happy. Whenever I’m happy, I dance and that’s exactly what my legs are doing now

 

Me: whoaa huuuuuuuu

 

I screamed joyfully as I slid across the room. I danced to my own music and finally collapsed on the bed

 

I laughed and stood up then walked to the table where I ate my pizza. The box was still there and the slices were remaining three. I took one and ate before washing my hands at the sink

 

I came back and met Bad Boy sitting on my bed

 

Me: hey!

 

He looked up

 

Me: you should learn how to knock

 

Bad Boy : will you teach me?

 

Me: why would I do that?

 

He stood up and walked slowly towards me with a stern face

 

Bad Boy : are you talking to me with disrespect now?

 

I moved backwards

 

Me: no… No I’m not

 

He grabbed me and turned me around, held his left hand against my neck and his right hand held a gun to my head. I screamed loudly because I was so terrified, so so terrified

 

We were standing in front of the mirror and I could see his demon-like face

 

He looked into the mirror and began to laugh. He dropped the gun but still held me in that position

 

I began to breathe heavily

 

Bad Boy : you’re easily scared, aren’t you?

 

Me : you’re….a son…to the devil…

 

My chest was beating really fast

 

Bad Boy : haha, I’m actually his first son

 

He released me and I fell on my knees. My hands were on the floor and my head was lowered

 

Me: I think….I think I’m gonna…I’m gonna faint

 

He pulled me up

 

Bad Boy : I hate girls that faint, let’s go

 

He pulled me out of the room

 

Me: you can stop pulling me now

 

He stopped and I dusted the place where he was holding me and glared at him

 

Me: stupid ugly boy

 

Bad Boy : what did you just say? Me: OH OH

 

I ran off and he pursued me down the hallway. I got to the stairs and hurriedly ran down it. It was then I realized that I wasn’t limping anymore. How it happened, I don’t know

 

I got down the stairs and ran off but I bumped into a black man with dreads, he was smoking � and he had a long gun across his shoulder

 

I screamed and fell down.

 

Black man : who are you and what are you doing here?

 

His voice was so deep and harsh

 

Bad Boy : she’s with me

 

I looked up and Bad Boy was climbing down the stairs

 

The black man glared at me and walked away

 

Bad Boy came to me and pulled me up

 

Bad Boy : consequences of insulting the boss in his house and trying to escape from him

 

I frowned and crossed my arms

 

Bad Boy : are you hungry?

 

Me: no

 

Bad Boy : let’s go out

 

He held my hand and we walked outside

 

LEON

 

Who is this girl that Bad Boy is keeping with him? He doesn’t treat his girls that way. This girl is strange

 

Does Bad Boy have a family somewhere? Is she his sister?

 

I’m sure they’re related cause the Bad Boy I know doesn’t keep affairs with a lady, except of course Fedora

 

But everyone knows that they’re more of sex partners and nothing more

 

I have to find out who this girl is

 

BAD BOY

 

Me : this is my first time taking ice-cream in years

 

Rosa: seriously? The other day, at the other house. You said it’s been awhile since you last drank juice. And now you’re saying it’s been years since you took ice-cream. What the heck do you actually take?

 

Me: cigarettes, alcohol, food and water

 

Rosa: alcohol and smoking isn’t good for you

 

I chuckled and took another spoon of ice-cream. We were in my car because I didn’t want anybody to see us together.

 

Me: so tell me why you left the house

 

She looked at the ice-cream cup and didn’t answer me

 

I stared at her

 

Me: are you going to tell me

 

Rosa: it’s because I felt I was becoming an outsider

 

Me: whaat?

 

Rosa: you and your girlfriend. You two were so much in love and were always together. You didn’t have time for me anymore and I felt like I wasn’t needed. You guys left and I was all alone. I started seeing strange movements around the house from strange people. What Fedora told me came to my mind and I…..

 

My eyes widened

 

Me: Fedora told you something!

 

She looked at me and didn’t say anything

 

Me: just… Just continue

 

Rosa: so I ran away

 

Me: what exactly did she tell you?

 

Rosa: I should leave because I wasn’t safe with you

 

Me: well she helped your life

 

Rosa : what?

 

Me: that day you left, the house was bombed and nobody survived

 

Rosa: WHAT!

 

Me: and I killed Fedora that same day

 

Rosa : WHAT! You killed your girlfriend

 

Me: Fedora is not my girlfriend.

 

Rosa: don’t lie to me. I saw you having sex with her on the dinning table

 

Me: what? You saw that? Wow. But she isn’t my girlfriend, she’s just a b***h. But she was working with Red Light against me. She was the reason that house got bombed, they thought I was in it. But I wasn’t. Find I found out, I killed her immediately

 

Rosa swallowed a lump and stared at her cup which was almost melting

 

Me: if I had known you were hurt seeing Fedora and I, I would have dismissed her

 

Rosa: I wasn’t hurt….

 

Her cheeks turned red

 

Me: liar….

 

She frowned and glared at me

 

Me: how about I make up for those times I made you feel that way?

 

Rosa: no need. I don’t want it. What I want now is to be distant from you. I hate being insecure, I don’t like danger. And being with you is danger. Just imagine if I was in that house that day, I’d be dead now. I don’t want to be endangered

 

I looked outside through the tinted window. My eyes were burning red and I didn’t want her to see it.

 

Me: so you’re just gonna go away?

 

I wasn’t looking at her but I felt like she was looking at me

 

Me: you can go

 

She still didn’t reply

 

I looked at her

 

Me: can you drive?

 

She nodded

 

Me: good….

 

I threw her the car keys

 

Me: take the car. There’s an envelope in the glove box, it contains huge money. Take it and make your life comfortable. I apologize for shooting you. This is what got you into this in the first place

 

I opened the door, dropped my cup of ice-cream and got out

 

Rosa: Bad Boy…..

 

I ignored the call and jammed the door then wore my sunglasses and walked away

 

I saw her from the side view coming out of the car but she didn’t make any move

 

I took my phone and called my car again. I walked further a little before it came. I opened it and got inside

 

Me: damn!

 

I hit my hand on the staring and closed my eyes

 

Me: goddammit! Why do I care about you so much?

 

ROSA

 

I stared at him as he walked away angrily. I couldn’t go after him and I didn’t know if I should just do as he said. My eyes teared up and I ran back into the car to cry. I cried myself out because I didn’t know what I wanted

 

If I should go away now  will I really feel comfortable with myself?

 

Won’t I feel insecure too?

 

I don’t know what to do!

 

I looked at the ice-cream cup he left behind. I took it and smiled. Bad Boy was good to me. I don’t see why I should let him go.

 

Wasn’t he the only one who has ever accepted me in this life of mine?

 

If not for him, I would definitely be roaming the streets with crutches and still be a laughing stock

 

I closed my eyes and opened them again. I got out of the car and walked to the other door, I got in and started the car.

 

I haven’t driven this type of car before, the one I drove was a minivan. I only drove an automatic car once. I hope I can drive this one well

 

I drove out though I did little mistakes but I still managed to get to the house

 

The security guard recognized me and allowed me in

 

I walked inside without looking at the guards and they didn’t tell me anything

 

I went upstairs to my room, took a shower and changed into a simpler wear

 

I went to his room door, knocked on it but there was no response

I kept knocking but still no response

I decided to go and ask one of the guards if he was at home

I wanted to turn when the door opened

Bad Boy : I thought I told you not to disturb me Leon

His face was red and he was shirtless. He didn’t look at me and his voice was dull

Me: Bad Boy….. I came back

He quickly looked at me

Bad Boy : Rosa?

Me: I’m not leaving anymore. I wanna stay with you

He was just looking at me,  speechless

I moved closer and hugged him unexpectedly
