It being almost a week and three days now,and Bright couldn't understanding what was happening, everything has being going on well, apart from one big problem, Ed hasn't being picking her calls, didn't return her messages,for almost 5 days his number was out of reach.
She was getting worried and to make matters worst she couldn't contact anybody because she didn't know who to ask.Today's shift was busy as usual but she could shake off a feeling that something is wrong or someone is spying at her, watching her. She was starting to get paranoid again and she knew trouble was around the corner.
She sent a silent prayer to God to keep her calm as her heart began to beat fast.
Someone came through the door and immediately she saw he person, she knew the reason for her paranoia. A visit from her past. She tried to act as calm as possible.
Rosko walked into the restaurant, his eyes met with Bright's own and he knew that she recognised him.
This is going to be so much fun."Hello, Bright. I see you have a job now" Rosko kept emphasis on the job.
"What are you doing here Rosko? Bright asked with a voice shaking a little.
"Hahaha, can't a man get hungry and want to eat?" Rosko replied checking the menu that was placed up at the counter. He scanned Bright from head to toe, licking his lips as he did so.
Bright's body reacted to his looks and goose bumps begin to show on her skin. She hated when loon at her like that, as if she was some kind of prey of food to be feasted upon.
"I know you didn't come here for food, what do you want? " Bright was a list shouting now and she was beginning to draw attention.
"Now that is not how you greet the father of your child, is it? I came to meet my child "
Everything seems to stop, his child? Is this some kind of Joke? She was drugged, rapped and left to die, and now Rosko is here telling her that Jake was his child after almost ten years. Jake was going to be Ten in a four months time and he is here calling he is the father if her child?
"We don't have to have his discussion here. Meet me at club luminous at 8:30pm today, and be punctual"
Before she could even respond and decline the offer, he was already walking out of the restaurant, leaving her world upside down once again.
It was almost 8:30pm,Jake was with Mrs Bankole as usual, giving her tune to read think her decision. Should she go and tell him to stop disturbing her life? beg him to leave her son alone, or ask him to stop making outrageous claims about the paternity of her son.
She stopped a cab, and as she sat down she kept thinking if her life before now, how she was the most wanted girl with Madame.
How she fetched a lot of money for her and how she wanted out that life so badly. Now she was out of that life and someone was ready to drag her back! No, she wont allow anybody to make her go back to that life again.The cab stopped in front of club luminous, she paid the cab driver, and watched as the cab drove off.
As she stepped into the club, flashes of her life kept coming back to her, when he was in club, she used to be good at it, even if she hated it. She had to do it to survive.She canned through the crowd and saw Rosko sitting alone with a bottle of beer in his front.
She walked straight to him and sat in front of him."You didn't bring the boy?" Rosko said looking at her and licking his lips again and scanning her body. She was just wearing a chiffon shirt and a trouser, but she felt almost naked with him, as all those years flooded back to her mind.
No, I didn't bring him, a club is not a good place for a child to go" she countered back
Okay, I see. Anyways I heard that you are dating a rich man, son of a politician, or is it senator? Rosko asked sarcastically. You must have really strung him on, to he able to catch a big fish like that. To be honest I dot really see what He sees in you, especially with that little baggage of yours.
Bright was on edge, how dare he? Come to her life and start dictating how her life should play out. She wanted to stand up and walk out, every ounce in her wanted to do so. But she just couldn't, for Edward and Jake.
"What do you want, Rosko?" Bright knew men and their ways, she knew this particular man and she was sure he wasn't here to confirm about how her life was going. He has a lot up his sleeves, so the earlier she asked the better.
Rosko looked at her again, trying to see of he could break through her to stoop low to his request. licking his lips again, a nasty habit he loves doing not necessarily out of admiration but more from lust.
"How about we don't talk here, it is too crowdy and a bit noisy now, we can talk else where maybe at my place, it's not far from here"
Bright glanced around her environment,it sure was lousy and already becoming full because if the time of the day it was but she wasn't going to talk into the trap.
"No we talk here" she told him adamantly.
"Alright if you saw so, the reason I am here is for two reasons, firstly madame has being looking for you, she wants you to come back and work for her, you know how the good old days used to be, she has provisions for your son Jake, a good boarding school to put him so that he will stop being a burden to you. The second reason is about your son Jacob, he is my son"
The last part of the sentence was a slap to Bright's face, Jake is his son, they were trying at all means to take her source of joy, the only reason she could survive those days of hardship after the gang rape was because of the Jake, it was because of Jake she sought help and met Edward.
They wanted her back and the only thing that they see fit to do to her was to tell he that Rosko of all people, not that she was judging is the father of her son. She saw red, blood red, for red.At impulse she stood up,before the man in her front could utter any statement, landed her palms right straight in his cheeks.
"You and Madame can go to hell for all I care, I am done with that life, so don't you dare come into my life and tell me that you are the father to a son that was conceived trough a gang rape" Bright took her bag and walked out.She flagged down a cab as she got outside the club.
