Little Bold Steps (Under Construction)

Chapter 3

Lucy woke up with a start, She frantically let her eyes roam around looking for any kind of clock, and she groaned as she couldn't find any. She pondered on the idea of leaving before he woke up but first, she prayed he stayed asleep while was removing her body from his. Lucy tiptoed out of the large bedroom rushing to gather her discarded clothes. She picked up her purse and other belongings scattered around and then went to work. She quietly searches for something worth stealing and easy to sneak away with.

Right there on the cabinet beside the door leading into his walk-in closet she saw something glint in the dark, catching the light reflecting from her phone. She quietly rushed to check it out and sighted in defeat as if it was just a glass cup. "Fuck!" She swore silently. She proceeded to open the drawer pulling out a black satin pouch from the cabinet She opened it and what she saw took her breath away, it was a beautiful chain covered in precious glittering stones. 

The jewelry inside the pouch could be worth so much. Her plans to seek revenge might be falling into place. If this jewelry is worth close to a hundred thousand naira, then she can say she now has enough money to kill the bastard that destroyed her life and made her a broken woman an insecure mess who constantly seeks affection from people.

Lucy smiled. She quickly but silently crept toward her handbag and dropped the piece of pieces of jewelry inside. So yes, the sex paid off in two ways. First It was the best she had ever had, "What a crazy way to get my first orgasm she whispered to herself", secondly it paid off financially. After securing her stolen goods she went back towards the room. She concluded she needed to stay the night to avoid suspicion if he found his precious missing.

As Lucy lay beside Angel she began to think about her present situation. If the man beside her had a habit of bringing women around often, it is possible he wouldn't even suspect she took his precious jewelry.

Lucy stiffens a bit when she feels him shift beside her, his large palm now roams over her body. Then it occurred to her that she didn't even know his name. She thought he looked familiar when she first laid eye on him in the club, but she had pushed the thought away as fast as it came. He continues to caress her body as she pretends to be asleep.

Angel woke up with a start.

"Shit! He mutters as his alarm continues to ring.

He needed to change the damn alarm setting from 7:00 am to a later time. He stood up not bothering to cover his nakedness, he made his way to the kitchen. Getting to the kitchen he realized he wasn't alone, there in his kitchen stood a lady, the beauty he took home last night. She was drinking what appeared to be Juice.

"I see you have made yourself at home." He said watching her fidget nervously.

she smiled... a mixture of shock and amusement crossed her facial features.

"Shit! She is still a beauty" he thought and then the memories of the night before came rushing in. Angel took a deep breath as he observed the lady in his kitchen, She wore the dress from last night, and she made her way to the zinc washing the mug she just drank from.

with her back turned to him, "You are naked," Lucy she said making it sound like an announcement.

"I am aware of that" Angel replied.

The simple act of washing a damn Mug was making his blood hot. "Common man" he silently chastised himself. He needed to pay her and send her on her way.

"Hey," he called out making her jump at the sound of his voice. "You should get going" he watched as she slowly turned, placing the cup on the  kitchen fountain. She slowly raised her head and smiled at him.
