Chapter 6
Wheeler/linka
When it was time for bed, Wheeler couldn't sleep, maybe only intermittent naps, every time he closed his eyes he saw Greg grinning in front of him with his faint smile, "I'll take your girl from you, she'll be...mine."
He wakes up frightened, looking for her, to find her sleeping peacefully next to him. He came closer to her, wrapped his arms around her from behind, put his head on her pillow, her back close to his chest, and his cheeks near her hair and her ears.
Linka felt his embrace and his touch, felt his breath near her cheek, put her hand on his hand stuck to her waist, and went back to sleep reassured, that his presence makes her feel safe, no one can harm her while she is with him.
Wheeler spent the night thinking about Greg, is he as manipulative and dangerous as he thinks? Or does he just think so because he's jealous of him? Does he really want Linka for himself as he did in the past? Or has he really changed and it is nothing more than a business relationship
When the alarm rang in the morning, Linka lazily moved her hand to turn it off and turned to Wheeler to find him awake looking at her.
good morning babe""
"Good morning Yankee." She turns herself towards him
I don't remember the last time you woke up before me. How long have you been awake?""
"About half an hour ago, I think." Wheeler didn't want to tell her about his fears and not being able to sleep because of thinking about the topic they were arguing about a few days ago.
"Half an hour ago! And you haven't prepared yourself for your work yet? Won't you pick Kwame from his apartment today? You spent all this half an hour staring at me? You will be late again" She is not angry. But she likes to be organized and punctual, which is not Wheeler's way
I can keep staring at you forever, babe. And never get enough from you " as he kisses her cheek "
Linka went to take a quick shower. Wheeler lay on his back with his hand under his head.
"Son of a bitch, if I could just empty my gun into his head" after a few minutes, he went to take a shower with her.
After a few minutes. Linka got out from the bathroom and started rubbing herself with the lotion and drying her hair when Wheeler came out with his towel wrapped around his waist and looked at her while she is wearing her formal clothes to work.
"Are you going to wear this shirt?"
"Da"
No don't wear it, I mean, it makes your boobs look like they're going to jump out""
She looked at him with a frown as she finished getting dressed
Come on. Wear something else, wear anything ugly." while he is wearing his boxer"
She is still frowning, looking at him from the side of her eye and putting on her make-up
" whom I am kidding, you will look beautiful wearing the janitorial worker's clothes". And he is wearing the cop's clothes.
"I love you more when you know my answer by yourself. Yankee, See you in the evening. Bye""
Then she kissed him a quick kiss on the lips. leave the room, take her laptop from the kitchen table and walked out of the apartment
Wheeler put on his hat, and bind the gun to his waist. then he went to pick up Kwami from his house.
"Good morning, man. "Kwami said smiling, bringing two paper cups of coffee with him, and handing one to Wheeler
"huh...oh good morning, man." He's holding a cup of coffee. Wheeler was straying.
Kwami put on his seat belt, then Wheeler drove the police car across town. Wheeler was still absent-minded staring at his watch every five minutes (Did she go to him, did he cancel the meeting with her… oh I really wish he would, and if he died that would be even better)
Wheeler, what's wrong with you, my friend? " Kwame said interrupting his thoughts"
Huh..no..nothing. I did not sleep well yesterday. Thanks for the coffee, man""
"You are most welcome my friend... So tell me. Did you have any fight?" Kwame is a close friend of Wheeler, he known him since they were in high school. He was an eyewitness to his relationship with Linka, he was present during the development of his relationship with her until today.
In the past, Wheeler used to tell Kwami about his feelings for Linka and how she had always pushed him back. He used to ask him about some advice that could help him win her heart. He was listening to wheeler complaints when they were quarrel. He was listening to his grumbling when he missed her. He was very happy for them when their relationship succeeded and they became a couple.
This is in addition to their days as friends together. Camping, studying, playing video games, boys' evening with some colleagues. They even graduated from the police academy together
"No, no fight. Thank you for your consideration"
….
Greg
I'm really excited for the day, I woke up very energetic, put on my most expensive suit, sprayed my most expensive perfume, and put on my most expensive watch.
My plan today is to make her feels like it's a business meeting with an old friend, to gain her trust totally, to be very nice and very funny, to make her win all the arguments (I remember her arguing a lot).
"Mr. Greg. Miss Linka from Business Solutions company is waiting for you. Would you like me to take her to the conference room or you like me to bring her into your office?" Margaret's voice from speaker
Bring her into my office, Margaret" she came in time."
When Margaret brought her into my office, I stand up from my desk and greeted her with a wide smile and hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, a quick kiss, (what a silky cheek)
"You look great." I just can't stop staring at her. Her long blond hair that she left it loose over her shoulders, her lips that sparkled with her long eyelashes, and her green eyes, this black short skirt that showed her long legs with these black high-heeled shoes. Her white shirt that hugs her breasts tightly, and this formal pink jacket, she looks like a princess from a fairy tale story.
and you look so great too Mr. boss" She said that while I still holding her hand"
She asked me about my father and how he is, and I asked her about her life and her boyfriend (spud stuffer) the we exchanged news of some normal things before we started the meeting.
"So where is Mr. Robin, the IT manager?" She takes her laptop out from the bag
"Oh, unfortunately he couldn't come today, he's...he's sick." Of course I will not invite him to attend with us. I want to be alone with her. just me and her.
I was pretending to react and get excited with everything she was saying, she was busy explaining many steps, how the program works and how we use it to serve our marketing goals, and I was busy peeking at her beauty, at her fingers and pink nail polish, at her breasts and body parts, she's driving me crazy
"Sorry sweetheart, I forgot to ask you if you like to drink something!" as I gently put my hand on her shoulder
"Some water would be fine."
"I'll order you water and an espresso with me. Is this Ok?" I was looking for something to extend the period of the meeting
Da. that's Ok""
I was smiling tenderly, I exchange some jokes from time to time to let her feel welcome and open up, ask serious and smart questions. The coffee arrived and I watched her sip from the cup, her pink lipstick imprinted on the cup. I asked her about the possibility of trying the program for a month before we buy it, but she said that she should return to her management in this regard, the meeting with her was smooth and productive, and I felt that I gained her trust initially as I planned
At the end of the meeting, I shook hands with her warmly, put on my jacket to take her to the parking lot, she told me it was not necessary but I politely insisted, and before we go outside my office an idea came to my mind.
"Hey Lin. Near this building is our factory which we opened recently, I would love to take you there to see it. I care about your opinion on our new product. So what do you think? It's just five minutes by car.
" Oooh , That will be nice "
"Come on, we'll go with my car, it's closer." I called the guard and told him to get my car out to the main gate.
What about my laptop? can I leave it here in your office and then will come back to take it?""
Yes. sure This is the safest place in the company. I keep a lot of money in the safe box" "
When I went out with Linka to the main gate, I opened the car door for her, and then we went to the factory
Wow Greg what a beautiful, fancy car""
Thanks. I actually have two other than these!" I said bragging"
Why do you need three cars? "She said disapproving"
I don't know, but usually the more a person's income increases, the more he spends""
"This is not supposed to be true. Although what is actually happening"
"We have arrived, sweetheart, wait, let me open the door for you". I said that and the factory guard opens the main gate for me
"We arrived quickly!"
"Yes, I told you, it's only five minutes in the car from my office"
My goal in this tour to the factory was to let her know how successful I am. And what are the new possibilities I has provided for my company, I want it to admire me, my ambition, and my dedication to my work. And also entice her with my riches and my wealth
