Melancholy...

Chapter 33

I blinked repeatedly as I stared at his tall figure ,going the extra mile to wipe my eyes to make sure that it wasn't a mirage or something. His broad mouth opened and he called my name loudly. Placing the napkin down quickly,I swallowed my saliva and pulled my dress up nervously,making sure that it covered my cleavage.

It was such a shame that I had to go through this especially since he was a married man. No one deserved to be sexually abused like this. Not even my worst enemy.

I walked out of the kitchen quickly and went to the hall where Mr Danso had made himself comfortable in the couch.  I stood a few feet away from him and cleared my throat lightly to announce my presence.  He looked around the house to make sure that no one was in view and motioned me with his index finger to come closer.

Nervously,I walked closer to him,biting my lips and fidgeting with my hands. I was not about 2 feet away from him and it took everything in my not to run away. He licked his lips and grabbed my hands,harshly pulling me to sit on his laps.

"I can see that you are gaining weight in the right places." He said slowly as he smacked my ass. I shifted uncomfortably and looked at tiles.
"Get me a glass of wine and send my things to the room. Inform my wife that I have arrived and get dinner ready in an hour's time. But remember,you and I have unfinished business." He said as he grabbed my ass again and rudely shoved me off his laps.

I walked to the kitchen,wiping off the tears that were threatening to fall,and poured some wine in a glass. I placed it on a small tray and took it to him in the hall. Then,I carried his suitcase up the stairs to the master bedroom. Just like he had commanded,I told an uninterested Mrs Danso about his arrival and placed the suitcase in the corner of the room.

I went to the kitchen and continued to cook dinner,humming slowly to the Afro beats playing on the television to distract myself from thinking about what had just happened. Dinner was ready around 6, so I went upstairs and informed the household so they could assemble in the dining area.

When everyone was seated,I sent the food to the dining area and began to dish it into different plates for them. I could feel Mr Danso's eyes on me but I ignored him and focused on what I was doing. When a got to his seat,he moved his hand up and down my thigh under the table. I squirmed nervously and he gave my thigh a little smack,telling me indirectly to behave.

I served him quickly and ran back to the kitchen, closing the door behind me. Taking deep breaths,I composed myself and sat down to eat. After dinner I cleaned the dining area and washed the dishes as Aliyah and Jason went back to their room,leaving husband and wife alone in the hall.

I took Amuzu's share of the dinner to him and took a bath myself. Around 10pm,after Mr and Mrs Danso had retired to their rooms, Aliyah called me to her room. I stared at the 16 year old girl as she smoked the cigarette like a pro.
"You know why you are here. I'll be going out today too and you'll have to cover up for me and stay awake till I come so that you open the back gate for me." She said,tapping away on her phone.

This was nothing new. Aliyah introduced me to this life of hers 2 weeks after I moved here. She would go out and I had to be the one to make sure that no one was suspicious. I also had to stay up late at night so that I would be able to open the back gate for her. Sometimes she came as late as 4:00am and on such days,I had no sleep at all.

I helped Aliyah pick out her outfit and do her makeup. She had thought me a few things about makeup and I hate to admit but I actually enjoyed applying it on her face.
I was not going to lie,Aliyah was a very nice person,she just moved with the wrong people and was too keen on impressing people.

She chose to wear short denim shorts and a bandanna cropped top. For accessories she chose large loop earrings with matching bracelets. She also put on an anklet and some waist beads and completed the look with some fancy looking Nikes.

I applied light makeup on her to bring out her features and styled her long braids. She looked nice but there was no way I would wear such an outfit or even let my sibling wear that. But I mean it was her life though, so.....

I moved around the rooms quietly and made sure that everyone was asleep. Jason had the lights on in his room but I there was no sound coming from it,so I assumed he was asleep. I motioned for Aliyah to follow me downstairs and she did so quietly. Opening the back door,I led her to the back gate and opened it for her.

A guy around her age was waiting in a car when I opened the gate. She told me that that was her ride and remained me to stay awake. With a light sigh,I locked the back gate, went into my room and sat on the bed, forcing my tired eyes not to close.
