Chapter 110

~True love; I am with you in this~

Kate went to jail to pay an urgent visit to her father in the morning of a blizzard Monday day. But to her dismay, she had to wait by the corner because a dashing lady was already engaging Mr. Fanny in a discussion in the visitors’’ yard. With perfect comeliness, the lady was a rare sight to behold. Kate had been struggling to a steal a glance at the both of them. And she could tell from the look of things her father was falling for the lady – the lady was Lucy. Kate stretched her neck and kept straining her eyes to know what she was telling her father that made him burst into uproarious laugh. Who is this lady? And what does she want?” Kate asked within herself, as she watched while she waited for her turn.

Mr. Fanny couldn’t stop chortling as Lucy engaged him in funny ` tales and comics.

“Hmmm,” Mr. Fanny hummed, “She is here,” he added, his eyes in the direction Kate was seated

“Who is here?” Lucy asked, with eyebrows furrowing to question him the more, as she tried to follow his gaze.

“My daughter,” he replied.

Mr. Fanny just noticed Kate, as he waved and Kate waved back.

Lucy followed his gaze and caught sight of Kate, “She is a big girl,” she mumbled and gazed at Kate again to see she was smiling at them.

Mr. Fanny’s smile was still held. “Yes, she is my priceless jewel. Shortcomings of her bad ass friend, can’t even stop me from loving her.”

Lucy snorted with a frown. “You just have to let go. Stop recalling all that. She is a victim of a horrible relationship. She had her sex tapes leaked because she was in love with a bad boy lover. It would have been anybody.”

He emphasized, “I know Lucy but it hurts me so much that I am in jail and don’t know what she is up to out there, especially now her mother is hooked with our family lawyer

“Oh it disgusts me when you call that asshole your family lawyer after what he did to you.” Lucy was very much vexed no, as she tilted her gaze to the table. She continued in whispers, “How am I sure he is not the brain behind your imprisonment,”

Mr. Fanny quietened, busy admiring Lucy’s new looks; her make-up was not heavy as before and her nails were simply vanished unlike before that they looked long, excessively colorful and horrible to behold; her hair was what thrilled him most. She had changed them from messy that it was to side-swept-and-waves, not forgetting her dressing that was above-knee now, something that used to be micro.

“I really don’t know what came over Ken to have the audacity to hook up with my wife. Well he shrugged, “I wouldn’t blame him. I put the blame on my wife for stabbing me in the back, for spitting fire at me when I wanted showers.”

Lucy forced a smile; she knew he still loved his wife. It was evident in the, “my wife”. Those words showed commitment and loyalty and he doubted if Mr. Fanny would ever have a soft spot. In the shortest of time they had known, he had rewritten her life and made her embrace the future with fresh new energy. Lots of refined breakthrough had come her way and she never believed in herself until he met her.

“Away from my troubles,” Mr. Fanny said and his monolid eyes gathered around her face. “How are you dear? “ She had a smirk, surprised to hear that from him for the first time and feeling less traumatized now, at least, if she could get more familiar with him and make him her habit, she could be his habit too even obsession. She hadn’t fallen in real love and she had never heard a real love story but with his question, she just knew that every experience of true love started with that magical sensual question.

“I am fine,” she replied. He bemused smile had never been deliverable with such grace and contentment.

“I can see it is written all over you. You are really taking good care of yourself. So how is hustle? Don’t tell me you still open your legs for the dicks out there. “

They laughed briefly.

“No no, “she replied shaking her head, “Upon your advice I turned a new leaf. My clients have been calling and coming and I have been turning them down.” She had an uneasy smirk, and continued, “Although it hasn’t been easy abandoning the megabucks being offered by clients who are ready to fuck me and embracing peanuts from my barbecue joint.” She snorted with a strange relief and added, “I am really going to unleash new plans for my business in order to make more money and be the best.”

“Oh goodness!” Mr. Fanny exclaimed, that will be nice and I can’t wait to behold this new business plans of yours.

She was all smiles – yes because Mr. Fanny was incorporating himself into her affair; her problem; her life. She had smiles build up from her spines – he was bursting her burbles.

She stole a glance at Kate and their stares met- Kate‘s fallen eyes were the evidence of tiredness and impatience. “I really need to run along. We have kept her waiting.”

“Oh you mean my daughter. She can always wait, especially when there is good news as your new business plan.”

She clicked her fingers, “That reminds me. My brother the prison president told me of his plans to make you push his drugs in jail.” She whispered, her stares combing around to make sure no onlooker heard her. “I know he forced you to call me and denounce your love for me.”

Fanny cut in, “Honestly I was stunned when he said he was going to phone you and have me deny what I feel for you even call you names.”

She grinned. “Initially I felt bad, wondering what could make you despise and call me names within the shortest time we met. But when I checked the phone line I noticed it was from his office and that he must have master –minded it.”

“Trust me I couldn’t have done such a thing. He was the brain behind it. He wanted to see if we were in love. your brother is a crazy ass.” “Don’t just go crimson, when next I come I will tell you the plans I have on how you can push his drugs without getting into trouble.” she noticed that the prison warden wasn’t looking their side and she held his hands. “I am with you in this, OK, you don’t need to panic.” she stood up, and was carried away by the sensuality and seduction that shot from his hand into hers and she wanted to hug him.

“No touching! Stand up and leave if you are done!” the prison warden interrupted once he caught them.

She was startled and they shared heart –warming stares before she knocked away in her stiletto. On her exit she met with Kate, and Mr. Fanny watched with satisfaction as Lucy had a warm embrace with Kate talked briefly before she parted finally.

Kate stepped forward, had her body scanned by the prison warden before she passed through the glass door and took the seat opposite her father. The smile that hung on her face all this while gave way for thick eyebrows that furrowed into chiseled edge of frown. And Mr. Fanny perceived she came with bad news and wondered what it was.

Fingers crossed…
