Chapter 9: Chapter 9

TAKEN eight

Stella drove into Rose's compound with full speed and as she got down from her car, she dashed to Rose's room which was wide opened. Sometimes she wondered why Rose husband doesn't come home by this time.

"Rose!" she shouted her name with more urgency and shock glaring at the position she was on the bed. "He's just an house boy!" she spat. Stella was happy she didn't see the boy naked. If she had, she would literally beat him out of the room like that. She always told Rose not to deal with people that would disrespect her, but her friend wanted young blood anyways. Thank goodness it was just Rose's upper body that was naked and the boy was under the bed spread with only his head popping out.

"A boy with big property... girl you just ruined the moment, why didn't you even knock?"Rose grunts. Privacy was not included in their friendship rules, this wasn't something to hide. Rose probably just said it because it fit the scenerio.

Rose was caught in the room with her house boy, not that Stella could do anything about it though. It was Rose, who could do anything and get away with it.

The boy looked very shocked and scared. He probably thinks Stella would pounce on him . His boss has given him more than just the house to take care of,there was a lady to satisfy too.

"Just get off that bed, I need to talk to you"Stella rolled her eyes

"Urgh.. just wait in the sitting room"Rose said getting up from the bed and she grabbed her robe.

With her bathroom robe, she moved to the parlour and joined her best friend on the chair sipping the leftover wine she drank. Rose was a beautiful finesse and even at her comfort zone, she looked very beautiful and elegant. Looking like a female politician having the best time of her life. Her husband graced her this opportunity.

"What's wrong"dropping her glass, she asked showing a little bit of concern for Stella

"Marcus wants a baby"Stella announced with more of fear than delight.

"He can't even make you cum"Rose rudely blurted

"Stop. Respect please"

"Its the truth." Stella frown her face and Rose zipped her mouth demonstrably.

"He's giving all his properties to our first child"

"Now that's some real business, babe go for it. Forget the displeasure. You need that money"

"I rejected it already. I didn't want to be too forward. I became angry and told him 'does he think I'm in love with him for his money'. He knows I don't like sex with him, he said he was going to improve and now he said he wants a baby, if I agree immediately he would think that's what I really want"

"Well there are strategies to some things Stella. Love is involved. Take for instance..." Rose took minutes in explaining how and why Stella needed to take that deal back, they laughed and gossip more than the last time as it has been a long time too since Rose has been men hunting.

They even talked about Allen.

~~~~

This is a man's world" Marcus lip sync horribly to the music they played at the mini-bar. Allen laughed at his brother voice. Not that he was a better singer but he could do good at a karaoke stand better then Marcus. Aside nursery rhymes, he wasn't sure they both sang when they were little. So to say, whatever they sang was definitely a product of their parents. Obviously,...

Bad singing runs through his father's blood.

"This is a mannnn's world" Exaggeratedly, Allen slide his way into the next line of the song using the mummy trained voice, a hoarse soprano with a crack in high pitch, of too much confidence and not so melodious.

Marcus cracked the drunkenness out of him, hitting Allen's back with the empty cup in his hand laughing hysterically. Heaven knows he sang the song way better than his brother.

"But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, without a woman or a girl"Strained husky voice took over as Marcus sang the third line of the song putting more emotions in the lyrics. Not seeing his wife after an argument was killing him, Allen had come home from work earlier too and asked about Stella too. Not seeing her this late caused Marcus drinking, he sure know she would come back home, but he was bothered she was angry.

One would say he was too in love with her, but let them talk. Marcus could literally do anything Stella wants him to do. He loved his wife and was proud to have her. He was mad at himself for listening to Jennifer's advice. He allowed a third party, it was against his marriage vow.

" What's with the good mood brother?"Allen also laugh slightly drunk.

"This is a bad mood Allen can't you see?. Stella's not home!"he hits the bottle on the table

Allen clicks his tongue and shook his head.

" Why I'm not ready for commitment man, is because... I'm not ready to bother about anyone feelings"he sulk on his drink too. If Allen was to talk on his last relationship, he would probably go on and on ,on why you shouldn't love a lady too much or care too much about her.

"I just wanted a baby" Marcus broke down and cried "I didn't mean to lie to her, she isn't bothered about my money, I messed up"

Allen hated how Stella fooled his brother. If Stella was in love with him like she had claimed, there shouldn't be any argument between couples on how and why they should have a baby after having fun all this while. There was more than enough to take care of the baby so what else could be her other reason of not having a baby like she had told Marcus. To worsen the moment,she hasn't been home for hours now giving Marcus unnecessary cause to worry.

"Am I good at sex?" As much as that hurt him before he could say it, unbelievably Marcus turned and asked Allen who stiff for some second before going sober. The question hit him more because he knew what his wife said about him. She said she never enjoyed sex with Marcus and that's why she came for him. She said she deserved to be happy and she wanted it at all cost. If not having enough fun was the reason for her not giving him a baby. Then she really is selfish.

He feels more bad, he was involved in this couple relationship drama.

"It doesn't matter if you are, what matters is your heart" As dumb as that sounded Marcus seemed to believe it and he held his bottle like he was holding on to the words

The door opened and Stella walked in to the bar where they were.

"Let's make a baby" she said to Marcus
