WORLD APART - CHAPTER 11&12
ORLANDO CRYSTAL HOTEL
Morning
Zack and his partner Sasha were still curled up on the bed. It was already sunset. Zack was awake but Sasha continued sleeping. He traced his fingers on her flawless skin.
She flinched and grunted before disengaging from his grip. She rubbed her sleepy and protruding eyes,she saw him clearly and distanced herself from him.
“Good morning ?îtçhy Sasha” He smirked lighting up a cigarette.
“You old cat” She twisted her face in fury.
“You were so good last night,like awesome. Now I believe you are really a ?îtçh. How come down there was so deep,geez I almost got drowned in that pit of yours and it tastes rancid too” He chuckled and brought his tongue out.
“I can’t believe I slept with a criminal,gosh I’m so numb” she hit her forehead slightly.
The previous night at the club scene,she drank lots of whiskey and kirsch so she got easily drunk and was almost unconscious when Zack brought her into one of the hotel rooms.
“A criminal you say woah!! Come to reason it this way,a black pot calling another black. Sasha you should really tie your lose tongue cause it’s one-day gonna mess you up” Zack said and got up from the bed he rushed into the bathroom to have a quick shower. When he came out Sasha was already dressed,he didn’t bother to ask her why she didn’t have a wash,not like he cared.
“The operation is taking place this evening” Sasha said wearing her earrings.
“By what time?”
“The family should be leaving to the airport by 6pm so I want them to be attacked two hours before their dismissal”
“Who are the targets?”
“The woman and the kids,the man lives cause he’s mine forever” She smiled devilishly.
“Consider it done ?îtçh”
“You’re an irksome, geez annoying pest” she signed and picked up her Versace handbag from the bed.
“Are we good to go?”
“Yes we are” Zack held her hands and they both left the room together.
Edward’s Estate
The scream of Jerry alerted the entire family. Richard and Aurora ran to the kids room. Jerry was panting heavily as Ixora placed his head on her chest. His eyes were filled with fear,he shivered slightly as his little lips mumbled some words.
“My little baby what’s the matter? Why did you scream?” Aurora asked worriedly as she checked the pulse of Jerry.
“Ixora what happened to your brother?” Richard asked.
“I can’t tell dad cause I’m as well in a confused state,he just woke from his sleep and screamed” She replied with a terrified look.
“Baby what’s the matter?” Aurora asked as she pulled him away from his sister.
“I..I… had a terrific nightmare and I’m really scared” he uttered as tears dropped from his eyes.
“A nightmare you say,tell us about it” Richard requested.
“I saw I and big sis in a dessert filled with only sand and it was really hot there. We were stranded and lost,we couldn’t find mom and dad, we were putting on black attire. I disconnected and entered into another realm. I saw crowd of people weeping and wailing uncontrollably,I struggled to pass in between them and I saw a casket. I was scared but when I looked inside I saw…” He paused and swallowed hard.
“You saw who?” Ixora asked curiously.
“I saw mom”
“God forbids such dreams” Ixora rebuked.
“I reject such dreams, I’ll never die untimely leaving you kids to suffer in this wicked world. God is gonna keep me safe for you all okay?”
Aurora pulled him closer to her chest and ruffled his hair.
“I’m really frightened” He said.
“Don’t be son,the lord would avert any evil of the enemies” Richard said patting his son’s back.
“Mom I’m having a bad feeling, let’s pray against the dream. Remember I had a similar dream three days ago and it’s obvious someone or something is after your life. It’s better we all pray together as one strong family” Ixora suggested.
“Yes you are right” Richard added.
The entire family held their hands together and prayed.
Governor’s Mansion
Governor Hilbert was seated on the chaise longue watching TV. he heard the groans of davvy as he approached the sitting room. Davvy was different this morning,he walked in a funny way like a boil was in between his legs. Moreover he held his buttocks tightly.
“Son what’s the matter” His dad asked.
“My anus dad,it hurts” Davvy sniffed opening his legs.
“What happened to your anus? Come and sit beside me let me examine you carefully” His dad said making a space for him to sit but he rejected it.
“I can’t sit dad my anus is on fire ah!!” He wailed painfully.
“What’s happening to you, talk to me son”
“I’m having a running stomach,I couldn’t sleep yester night. I’ve visited the restroom fifteen times and it’s becoming unbearable” He complained rubbing his flat tummy. His stomach made some rumbling sound like that of a thunder.
“I guess you were too greedy last night,so you’re paying the price. Nevermind I’ll send a guard to bring medicines to you okay?”
Davvy nodded slowly and he remained quiet standing still without moving an inch. His muscles seemed to be out as so the veins in his neck. He let out a silent, deadly fart.
“What’s that smell?” Governor Hilbert asked sniffing the atmosphere.
“I don’t know” Davvy lied.
The odour grew worst when davvy released two more,the sitting became too hot despite the AC’s around the sitting room.
“Oh my gosh davvy why did you do that? Your fart smells like dead chickens yuck!!” He held his nose tightly from air penetrating into them.
The door flung open and a woman on a red jumpsuit,black shade with a gold cat eyes entered. She was Lady Lexy,davvy’s mom. The offensive, suffocating smell hit her nose and her bag dropped on the floor.
“Holy Mother Mary,what the heck is that smell?” Lady Lexy growled fanning her nose.
“Welcome back mom I…” Davvy couldn’t complete his sentence,he released another one. This time it was a loud one which sounded like a Yoruba talking drum.
“Davvy!!!” Lady Lexy screamed.
“Sorry mom,I think I have to visit the rest room” he held his buttocks and ran back upstairs.
“What’s up with him?” She asked.
“He ate overdose last night so now he has to pay the price” Her husband said releasing his hands from his nose.
“Oh no my poor little boy,Davvy I’m coming there!!” Lady Lexy climbed upstairs heading to davvy’s room but the odour coming out from his room sent her out.
