He decides to take us to a restaurant to eat before taking us to the movies.

Through out the drive there,he doesn't say a word to me.What did I do?Why is he being so petty.

When we get to the restaurant,I keep staring at him, having lost my appetite a long time ago,but he pretends not to notice me.I am sitting right in from of him!

Meanwhile,Grace is having a filled day, digging into her plate of spaghetti and turkey, blissfully unaware of the tension stiffling the air.

I place my hand on the table, drumming my fingers against it while staring him straight in the eye.That should make him tick.

Oh,it does.

He looks at me and says; 

"Stop"

I smile and reply;

"Make me"

Before we can decide the winner for this round,my phone beeps on the table.I pick it up to check what it is and I almost drop it.

It's the boss!

Three contacts,venues and Time for today.

I start to panic,I do not want him to find out like this.Moreover,I had planned to take up one more job so I can have enough for my share of the rent and tuition with some left in my savings account.

I slide my phone to Grace who is happily devouring the turkey wings on her plate.She picks it up and reads the message and starts to choke,I jump up and start to slap her on the back until she is ok.

Ray had already gone to get her another bottle of water at her request.I am sure she did that so we can talk.

"What are you going to do?" She asks.

"I don't know,but I have to go" I tell her.

She is about to say something but cuts it off as Ray comes back with a bottle of water.

"Is she ok?" He asks.Finally getting around to acknowledging my presence.

"Just fine" Slightly irritated.It just seems like this day can't get any worse.

When we are done eating,he drives us to the Cinema.

I don't even pay attention to the movie,I just stare into space while fidgeting.

I can't stop fidgeting,my first appointment is by 8pm and it's already 5pm,If I don't leave soon,I won't be able to make it.

My unease doesn't get past Ray's notice but he doesn't say anything,he just keeps looking at me.

As soon as the movie is done,I beg him to drop me at home, blaming my unease on a migraine.

As soon as he parks  in front of the gate,Grace steps down.Before I can do the same,he stops me.

"What is wrong?" He asks, sounding worried.

"I am not feeling well"I reply, hating that I have to lie to him.

"Okay,just try to take a nap.I am sure you are just stressed"He says, rubbing a hand against my cheek.

"Thank you" I say, kissing the palm of his hand.

He leans and pecks me on the cheek and says;

"Bye baby" 

I smile weakly as I step out of the car.

As soon as I get into the building,I run up the stairs until I get to my room.

I rush in and start to undress.Grace already has a dress ready for me.Bless her soul.

She helps me apply my make-up,fixes my hair and before long,I am sitted at the back of a cab on my way to "the venue".

I send the boss a message, one of the protocols that proves that I accept the job.Then call my first contact, letting him know that I am on my way.

As soon as I am done with the call,I get a message from Ray.

"Out with a couple of friends.Call me if you need anything" It says.

Thank God he is going to be occupied,the last thing I need right now is for him to call me in the middle of the job.

Immediately I get to the location,I call the number again and I am directed to the lobby of a five star hotel.

As I stride in the hallway leading to the hotel lobby,I almost have a heart attack as I hear a deep baritone laughter.

No.no.no.no.no.no

I swerve to an aclove on my right and quickly activate the "do not disturb" function on my phone in case he decides to call to check up on me.I do not need my phone ringing now,it will be a sure give away.

As soon as I am hidden from sight,I text Grace, briefing her about what's going on.

She texts back;

"How sure are you that it was the BriMan"

I reply;

"As sure as my next breath"

She replies;

"Ok,send me the address and give me 30 minutes"

As I wait,I start to wonder if he is the client.I can't even begin to imagine what would happen if he had seen me.

Still caught up in my thoughts,I fail to here footsteps coming close to where I am hiding.

"Bri?" Says the voice that I would always recognize, even on my death bed.

 

















Hey fam!

Don't kill me😏😏

So what do y'all think?

What's our BriMan going to do?
