I could see the pain of loss written all over Vince's face. Losing the mother to his daughter, his blood brother and his daughter. No one in their right mind would take that. I was a stranger to the town so I couldn't tell where to start but to wait for Vince's directions.
“Do you have any idea of anywhere she could go?” I asked Vince who didn't seem to think straight.
“I don't even know what to think. ” he replied absent-mindedly.
“Come on Vince! I'm here to help. Think! We got this dear. Like it or not we must figure out something. ”
“The more I'm trying to think the more I'm getting confused. ” he grumbled.
“Vince, calm down and breath in and out. Everything will be super fine. ”
His eyes were like, how the hell will everything be fine when all there is heartbreak and loses? Women are born therapists in different ways and I had a way to cool him down.
As we were stuck thinking about where to start, Sera came running from the other side of the road holding a packet of biscuits.
“Where were you baby girl? We've been looking for you all over. ” Vince asked. She laughed at both of us.
“You could have just guessed I was at aunt Mercy's shop. ” she said.
“Did she ask you anything? ”
“She just gave me this biscuits and told me to go back to school, I lied to her, we are on a field trip. ” Sera said.
“The type of a child I need in my family. ” I thought out loud.
There were naturally dumb children who can't even tell a true lie. I can't blame that on them, it's the reactants choice so the product is innocent.
“You shouldn't have been tense that much. She's sharp. ” I told Vince.
“You know she's all I have for now. ” Vince answered.
“Sounds like I'm not in your equation. ”
“Damn it! Then what are we doing here? With you I mean.” he asked.
“Aren't we on a field trip too? ” I said.
We all had to laugh and Vince didn't see that coming. We drove back to the city and it was really a great journey back. Sera narrating stories of what they're always through at school and how she missed eloping sometimes.
“I didn't like spending time with those children. Someone has to tell them one plus one is two. They can't just count their fingers and know the answer. Like this( showing an example) I didn't like the school but mum always wanted me there. ” she said.
“Someone also told you one plus one is two that's why you know. ” I told her.
“No I was told just one evening by my dad before he left to wind I didn't forget. The teacher there must remind them daily. It's boring. ” she said.
It was not by coincidence that she was sharp, Vince was sharp too and I couldn't beat him in decision making even if he hadn't set his foot to the university or college. I must admit I'm most of my complex therapy sessions, I usually sought his point of view since following the books would sometimes irritate the clients. He wasn't just handsome but he was super intelligent and I was so sure in some years, he would not be working for me.
The exchange was lively until no one would have noticed Sera was not my daughter. She was my type too, easy to get along with which was a really nice character since she could be anywhere with anyone.
“Where are we going dad? ” Sera asked.
“To the city where I told you there are big houses and many cars. ” Vince replied.
“When will we go home again? ”
“Wherever we're going will be our home and you'll go to another school. ” he replied.
“What about mummy and my dolls? ” Sera enquired.
“Mummy didn't want to go with us but I will buy you more dolls, big ones just like you munchkin. You know daddy will always be with you. ”
“Mummy didn't like it when I called you and said I wanted to be with you. ”
“You're with me now. ”
From Sera's statement, I could tell Celina was not into Vince or she just wanted to protect him from his violent brother. A lady will always have a child with a man she loves, not just anyone.
We got home a bit late but we had to have what we always had,fun. Vin
ce helped me in preparing supper and Sera took some snacks and I showed her to the movie room. She was addicted to Disney junior and Nickelodeon. That was reason enough why she didn't like a boarding school.
At the kitchen I couldn't avoid ogling at Vince. His biceps and triceps too. He always spent time in my gym working out.
“We have to dispose Joe's body. ” I whispered.
“I'll bury him myself. I promised him. He killed our mother. ” Vince said.
I never heard Vince talk about his family even after telling him about mine. He used to say his family was a complicated and I didn't want to dig deeper into his issues.
“Killing your mother? ” I asked.
“Yes. Due to land issues and that's when I came here looking for a job after the burial since I didn't want to set my eyes on him again. ” Vince said.
I immediately avoided the story since it would definitely give him memories maybe he didn't wish to have.
“I will help you. You won't do it alone. And that must be between us. ”
“Death brings sorrow and pain but his death to me brings happiness. Even if you didn't kill him, I'd have done that by myself no weapon but my bare hands! ” Vince said angrily.
“Forget that. We'll deal with that tomorrow. ” That was to pass time before supper was ready.
My dining table had three parties and the family becoming bigger. Sera joined us but she was still complaining about her cartoon which she didn't want to miss. She ate hurriedly and went back to the movie room and closed the door behind her. Vince and I were slow as usual and taking our drinks after the meal took us all the time.
Vince stood to leave and I grabbed his hand. Any man would definitely know what all that meant, I was becoming addicted to him and I couldn't beat that off my head. No lady wouldn't love having great sex and Vince had given me a banging I'd not afford missing. I stood too and planted a kiss on his lips. Vince lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
He dropped me on my bed and after kissing for a while he undressed me and got between my legs. That was the best therapy he did to me that first time. The second time was even out the roof and he got me crazy. He must have realised I loved his tongue job and do he did it to his best. He made me climax faster than I thought.
“Now give me my share sweetheart. ” I whispered.
“The boss must always have what is best for her. ”
His hands over my body felt magical. He slowly rubbed his d*ck over my c*nt and I was crazy. For heaven's sake, Vince had a way to make me need him instead of struggling forcing himself to me. As in he's just there and in case he happened to leave no one will ever be like him and you'll end up following him. Such a crazy chemistry.
As he he started sliding inside me, he led me into uncontrollable spasms and I moaned loudly. He was vigorous like he had a tablet of Viagra before we started.
“Auntie Vivian what's wrong? ” Sera asked from the door. I realised I had moaned loudly to attract her attention from the movie room.
