His Game!

Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Interviews are daunting I have been on many interviews before when I was looking for a part time job but never have I been in an interview with gang members.

I am so nervous I can feel myself sweating bullets through my black dress. All the gang members sit around me staring at me with their beady eyes. Carver, Cruz and Frank sit behind a desk with paper and pen in their hands while I wait silently for the first question. I have no idea who’s going to ask me first and all I can think about is Seth kissing me.

“Do you work if so what as and how can you in cooperate that into a life with Carver?” Remy asks me

“I used to work part time in an orphanage....so I’m good with children and I know care for a baby.....I know what it needs food, shelter, warmth, security and most of all love and attention”

“When you say basics what skills are you talking about?”

“Changing diapers, playing with the baby, making bottles and loads of other things”

“Thank you Dakota” I notice that he doesn’t use the stupid nickname that Carver gave me and my normal name this time. I look over at the table in front of me and see Carver scribbling things down on his piece of paper, it’s like he has a list and if you don’t tick all the boxes on his list you’re as good as dead.

“What do you want in a relationship?” Tariq smirks in my direction and it gets me thinking what would I have wanted in a normal relationship?

“Well I had always planned to fall in love when I finished college and then get married and have a baby”

“You haven’t answered his question little one” Carver looks up at me with a frown planted on his face and I know why I have just made a mistake because I have been answering these questions as if I wasn’t pregnant as if I had never met him.

“I want someone who would care for me and look after me, someone who’s kind, considerate and someone who has a good heart. I would want him to be my equal in every way and I would honesty and the truth from him no matter how much it hurts me”

“So basically you want someone who cares for you and will look after you and you want honesty and loyalty?”

“Yes Tariq that is what I have always wanted”

“Have you ever been in a relationship before?” Theo asks

“As I have just said I have never been in a relationship with any other man”

“So you have no experience? You don’t know what to do in a relationship?”

“I have no experience but doesn’t everyone start out that way at first”

Carver looks straight at me with a smile and so does the whole gang, they think I’m willing to learn, to be trained into the perfect little pet for Carver.

“Do you want to marry?” Noba asks and I nearly groan it feels like they are just repeating and twisting what I say.

“Yes I do”

“Would you marry Carver if he asked?”

My heart beats even faster of course I wouldn’t marry that sick man. I take a deep breath and calm myself. What should I do? Should I be honest? Or should I lie even though I hate lying?

“I believe in honesty and telling the truth so that’s what I’m going to do....you would have to drag me to the isle kicking and screaming”

“Are you saying no to my question then?” Noba sneers and the gang look at me with hate and I just want the ground to swallow me whole.
