The 69 (part 2)

‘’Are you okay Daisy? He queried mockingly.

‘’I thought we were going to have lunch’’ she mumbled, her eyes still glued to ‘’The 69’’ engraved on the house.

He sighed heavily. ‘’Of course we’ll have lunch’’ he looked at her impatiently. ‘’Let’s get inside first’’. He got out of the car and rushed to the other side. Hand placed in his, he helped her out of the car. They headed straight to the house with the two tormenting words on its fascia. He hooked her arm in his as they approached the house; the reception.

‘’Hello David! Nice to see you again’’ the receptionist grinned before handing him a key.

David winked at him. ‘’Please send some red wine and canned soda to our room. My girl needs to hydrate before we…errrmm’’ he turned to her and licked his lips with a smile. To which she turned her head away in disgust.

‘’Right away sir!’’

Daisy’s thoughts were now whirling and her senses numb as he dragged her along by the arm still hooked in his. They walked past two houses before they got to their room. It had a discomforting silence that gripped her. She almost ran when he was opening the door but tightly grasped her hand just in time.

‘’Ouch!’’ she yelped. ‘’You’re hurting me’’ she frowned.

‘’I’m sorry sweetheart’’ he said while gently guiding her into the room before locking the door behind him. The room was miniscule. It had one medium sized metallic spring bed, one inch sized mattress and a small grey blanket. A small round table was flanked at the bed’s head.

‘’You should rest your bag here so it gives you no trouble’’ he said while placing his phone, car and room keys on the table.

‘’I’m fine with it right here’’ she declined. She was already contriving to escape and letting go of her bag that had her defense weapons wasn’t part of it. Nervously, she sat at the edge of the bed like she was ready to make for a run if the opportunity arose. He could tell she was frightened which he wasn’t used to. The other girls he always brought to this place were never this tense. They were more than willing to get it on with him. Maybe because they were a lot older than Daisy, he thought. ‘’But no! With the way she’s dressed, she’s probably just another one of them whores only after money. I doubt she’s even 15’’ he convinced himself. He moved closer to her and placed his hand on her lap.

‘’You look scared. Everything is going to be fine’’ he assured her and stroked her thigh gently.

There was a knock at the door and David got up to open it. Daisy couldn’t see who he talked to. She figured David intended for her not to – at least from how he opened the door – barely. He grabbed the bottle of wine, two canned sodas and two glasses from the man hurriedly before kicking the door shut with his foot. He set them at the table and immediately went back to lock the door. He pocketed the key after.

‘’I want to leave this place now David’’ she shot at him.

‘’Already?’’ he asked in astonishment. ‘’Come on. You haven’t even taken your drinks yet’’ he popped the wine bottle and filled both glasses.

‘’I don’t take alcohol’’ she declined as he handed her the glass.

‘’You can take the soda then’’ he passed her one can.

‘’I don’t want to take anything. I just want to leave now’’ she begged.

‘’But we just got here’’ he sipped on his wine and put the glass down gently. ‘’Come here’’ he held out his hands to her.

‘’For what?’’ she queried. The delusional part of her wanted her to stay in the room and comply with his sexual demands. ‘’Maybe it’s the way I look that has made him act this lustfully. He’s too hot to be a bad man. I know he loves me. He has already told me’’ she told herself. The sane part of her, the one where the little voice resided, knew that David was bad news.

‘’I want to hug you’’ he smiled. She stood up hesitantly. He pulled her closer and embraced her tightly. As she tried to break off from him, he pulled her back heftily and placed his wet lips on hers forcefully.  She finally freed herself from him and quickly rubbed her lips vigorously with the back of her hand.

‘’You bastard!!’’  She exclaimed as white hot rage erupted within her.

‘’I thought this is what you wanted. Right?’’ he probed. ‘’Come on. You’re old enough for this. Enough with the innocent act!’’. He grabbed her rump.

‘’Get your filthy hands off me you jerk!’’ she shouted as she pushed his hands away.

‘’So now they are filthy, huh?!’’ he snapped. ‘’You’re not a little girl anymore Daisy. And since you don’t want to do this the easy way, then the hard way it is’’ he gulped down the rest of the wine in the glass and croaked. ‘’Get onto the bed right now!’’ he ordered angrily.

‘’I won’t!’’ she stood her ground and looked him straight in the eyes. He laughed sarcastically.

‘’We don’t have enough time Daisy.’’

‘’The better! I want to leave this place as soon as possible anyway’’ she said confidently and folded her hands on her stomach.

He shook his head in amazement. ‘’You really don’t get it’’ he poured himself another glass and guzzled it all down his throat. He was now tipsy. ‘’There’s no way out here you fool!’’ he shot at her tiddley. Daisy’s heart was now racing. She didn’t know how to leave the room as the key was in David’s pocket. She opened her bag slowly and got her phone while he poured himself another glass. He turned just when she was about to dial.

‘’Don’t you even think about it you bitch’’ he raced to where she was and tried to grab the phone away from her. She kicked him in the stomach but he didn’t fall. He pushed her to the ground and enclosed her legs into his so she couldn’t move. Slapped her hard on the cheek and in agonizing pain, she let go of the phone. He got one of her heels at the door and smashed the blackberry at her watch. ‘’You want to get me in trouble?’’ he drowned another glass of wine. ‘’I really need this money and you won’t mess this up for me’’ he shouted at her.

‘’Which money? She was bemused.

He gazed and wagged a finger at her.  ‘’Don’t ask me questions. They’ll be here soon’’ he said drunkenly.

‘’Who?’’ she asked. Daisy was beyond scared. Scared of David; of everything.

‘’What did I tell you about asking me questions?’’ he shouted. Daisy sat in the corner of the room with tears rolling down her cheeks and shaking like a leaf. She stared at him with rage as he drank the last glass of wine. He stood up and staggered towards her.

‘’Get onto the bed now!’’ he spoke with desperate menace.

‘’Fuck you!’’ she spat at him. He shook his head. Amidst her several attempts to free herself, he grabbed her left leg and dragged her towards the bed. Lifted her and dropped her on the bed so hard that the springs almost gave away. He fell onto her and with his hands started pulling up her dress and down her knickers. Her screams and kicks went on and on.

‘’Shut up!!’’ he shouted at her. The struggle continued as he unzipped his trousers to make way for his big manly night stick. Daisy’s shrieks became more excruciating by the second. He was about to get inside of her when he heard the key lock turn. ‘’They are here!’’ he gnarled. Quickly, he jumped off her, pulled up his trousers and zipped up. The door fell wide open. Confused Daisy, whose screams had now ceased, rolled off the bed and pulled down her dress. Her eyes were red and flooded with tears. Her cheeks sodden from rolling tears.

‘’Well well well! What do we have here?’’ the big bellied man with a cigar in his right hand asked softly. He had side-by-side two big macho men dressed in black.

‘’Errm..boss..’’ David started. ‘’She’s all yours’’ he stepped aside nervously to give way for him. The big bellied man walked slowly towards Daisy. He gently pushed back her hair that was covering her face. Her previously well tied back ponytail was now in state way worse than a bird’s nest.

‘’Everything is going to be fine…’’ he hesitated and turned to David with raised eyebrows.

‘’Daisy!’’ David said immediately.

‘’Everything is going to be fine Daisy’’ he soothed her.

‘’So David, is she still a virgin?’’ stroking Daisy’s hair gently, he asked.

‘’Yes’’ David replied with face parallel to the floor.

‘’What a pity! Too bad no one will ever deflower her’’ he said. ‘’Boys, take care of her’’ he ordered and walked out of the room. The two big macho men grabbed Daisy by the arms and one of them squeezed a cloth onto her mouth and nose. She struggled, kicked and gagged till she felt all the energy drained out of her. Her Daddy’s face was the last thought she had before her mind and senses shut down.

The 69 (Part 1)

Staring at the phone on the table ringing, she bit her lip in eagerness. Revealing her excitement for his call didn’t seem like a good idea. She waited for a while; picked up on the sixth ring.

“Hey” she answered sheepishly.

“Hi darling. What are you doing today?

”Nothing really…just chilling’’

“How about lunch? He suggested enthusiastically.

“Perfect!’’ she said excitedly.

“Cool. Will pick you up in a few’’

And the line went dead.  Daisy looked at the phone with a blush that left her brown skin scarlet. Just like any other teenager excited about her first date, she dashed into her room and started rummaging through her closet like a mad man; clothes, shoes, hats and belts were flying around the room aimlessly. She finally landed on an outfit and looking at the time, it had been an hour of trying on this and that. Trying to suppress the excitement in her head, she raced to the bathroom.

Forty minutes later, the phone rang. It was him. ‘’I’m at the gate Sweetie”.

In her sleeveless little black dress stretching through the boundaries of decency but still looking elegant on her slim body, hair tied back in a ponytail, a gold bracelet that complemented her red earrings and silver necklace that ran down to her cleavage, she looked at herself in the mirror one last time. Six inch heels in one hand and pink bag in the other, she rushed out of her bedroom. Whilst in the corridor, she bumped into the last person she always dreaded meeting at such times.

“Daisy!’’ Stacy, her big sister called out. Startled daisy came to a sudden halt like a statue. ‘’Where are you going?’’ she queried as her eyes inspected Daisy from head to toe.

‘’Uhmm…to see a friend” she muttered shakily. Stacy was a hard one; rigorous. She never let her siblings out of the house without a sound reason. But this time, because her kid sister looked drop dead gorgeous with a glow in her eyes she had never seen before, she let it go. Besides, she had seen the car parked outside the gate which made it no secret that her sister was not meeting a “friend”. And judging from her outfit, made it crisp clear that this was her first date. “Amateur!” Stacy whispered to herself.

‘’Okay. Be back before dusk or else I’m telling on you to Ma” she jibed mockingly as her lips twitched with suppressed laughter.

David was pacing around the deep blue sports car while smoking on a cigarette when she got outside the gate. He dropped the cigarette on the ground and placed his foot on it. They exchanged pleasantries and hugged before he opened the co-driver’s seat door for her.

“He has a car?” she asked herself in shock. She knew she had to give more thought on her suspicions of this man possessing such a posh ride let alone own any car at that, given his profession. But the car had an exotic interior she had only seen in movies. Like any other girl, she thought it was just paranoia and anxiety. She gave no thought to it. The car engine sputtered and chuffed. If the suspicions were at the front of her brain before, they were now at the back of it. David swerved the car and whisked them away in a flash.

They had met at a concert seven days ago. Daisy was seated at the edge of the crowd with her best friend Tina when he saw them. He was taking pictures. Daisy’s dazzling big eyes looked like diamonds he wanted to keep for himself. Her ravishing face and poise that was outstanding from the crowd had made his lower body ache from tension.

Click! He took a picture of her heedless. Her laugh echoed through the noise of the crowd and she had the whitest set of teeth he’d ever seen. Click! Click! He took more pictures. This time she noticed.

“Hey! What the fuck?” she shouted.

Click!                                                                                                                                     

“Excuse me Sir?” “Tina, I think this dude wants trouble” she said furiously. Tina laughed like she always did in such scenarios.

“But you know you’re a beauty. Dude is just appreciating’’ and she laughed more.

Click!

‘’I hate you Tina’’

“You can’t hate me for telling you the truth sweetie’’ she retorted

Click! Click! Click! Click! David went on without a care of her rants and the middle finger she kept showing him. In fact, he loved the angry Daisy. She looked super gorgeous and the photographs were amazing. She was the best subject he’d ever taken pictures of.

“So, stalker, I’m not paying for any of those photographs you just took’’ she said contemptibly.

Click!

‘’Who said you were going to pay for anything?’’ he smiled. Tina who was now all stitches from laughing at their unorthodox conversation shoved her elbow onto Daisy’s arm in a don’t-even –think-of-messing-up-this-one way.

“You know I’m going to need a sponsor  for later on drinks while you sleep away at home’’ Tina whispered.

“But Tina!” she scoffed.

Click! Click!

‘’Okay, I’m Daisy.’’ She shot at him

“David. You’re so beautiful Daisy’’ he smiled at her

“David, will you please stop taking my pictures?’’

“Only if you give me your number’’

Click! Click!

“Fine!’’ she said after a long thought. And gave Tina a you’re-going-to-pay-for-this-later look before giving him the number. However nagging he had been, she thought he was fairly good looking. He was tall. He had a great beak of a nose, like a prey of some sort she thought. And yet he exuded gentleness. His fingers were long with nails that gleamed whitely at their tips.

‘’I’m sorry sweetness but I have to run. Will call you later tonight’’ David walked away briskly.

“Yeah, cool!’’ she smirked.

‘’Have you seen those biceps? Lord have mercy. You’ve hit the jack pot!!’’ wide eyed Tina shot at Daisy as soon as David was out of sight. Daisy laughed sheepishly in agreement.

Daisy had to leave early that evening; curfew. They hugged and laughed crazily all the way to her cab. Later that night, David had called like he’d said. He called her every other day after that and they’d talk for hours. She had declined all meeting arrangements because of her stringent big sister Stacy. His constant demands of them meeting every time he called didn’t make it any easier. She didn’t want to lose this one. He was her first boyfriend. He was older. Ten years older than her. But she didn’t care. In fact, it thrilled her. Dating older guys was like having a new Chanel or Louis Vuitton collection at her school; instant idolization. Like any other 15 year old at the peak of puberty with numerous fantasies created from hearsay, movies, magazines and romance novels, all anticipated to grow to reality. She decided to take off her “Miss goodie two shoes’’ tiara and give up the title. If she wanted to pursue this relationship with David, she had to rebel and defy some rules; which she gladly did in a heartbeat and so far, luckily got away with.

‘’You look gorgeous’’ David glanced at her luscious thighs before shifting his eyes back to the road.

‘’Thank you’’ she blushed.

‘’I’m so happy to be here with you, next to you’’ he grinned widely while placing his hand into hers and briefly staring into her innocent eyes.

‘’Uhmm…yeah, me too” she feigned a smile nervously. Not because she wasn’t happy to be there. She had noticed how salaciously he had been staring at her thighs and body since she got into the car.

‘’I know a perfect place where we can go’’

‘’Where is that?’’ she looked at him quizzically.

‘’You’ll see. We’re almost there.’’ He smiled excitedly. The little voice in her head that always alerted her when trouble was ahead was now echoing hard. Something was wrong and she knew it. First it was the cool car this ‘’camera guy’’ owned, then the lewd way he looked at her and now the ‘’perfect place’’ he refuses to disclose.

It wasn’t long before her fears were confirmed.

They stopped at a red gate. The gateman opened and smiled at her, looked at David and winked. He must be a regular, she thought. Her eyes immediately searched the place for a restaurant, bar or barbecue. All her eyes could see were these several tenement houses arranged in no specific pattern. ‘’The 69’’ in bold black letters was written on the fascia of the house in the centre.

‘’What’s this place David?’’ she swallowed hard, her Adam’s apple slowly going up and down.

‘’It’s a guest house honey’’ he grinned as he placed his hand on her right thigh and caressed it gently.

Eyes wide open, heart beating twice faster and sweaty palms, Daisy froze.
