~You are my reputation~
Mr. Fanny had his face to the wall while Lucy counted the wads of dollars and when she was done counting, she nodded and slapped the door into her palms.
“I sold a lot of drugs this week,” she said, gazed at Mr. Fanny who showed no interest in what she was saying, “Indeed you will not be bullied this week because I have made enough money for you to give to him,” she said, and put the dollars to her nostrils , “Hmmm, drugs’ money smells like drugs,” she gazed upon him and saw the mountain of frown on his face, “Sweetheart,” she placed her soft warm palms on his body and could feel his hotness which was traceable to the anger going on in his mind,
“Do you have new drugs for sale?” she asked, peered into his face when he didn’t get any response, “Sweet-cube, did you hear me? I asked if you have new cocaine for sale. I need to know so I can help you sell them on the street,” she said but this time very slowly and cold as though she wouldn’t want to get on his nerves more than she had already. She shook him gently, not loving the way he snubbed her, “What is the problem, my protector. My sweet cube. Are you ok? Did my brother bully you again?” she asked, “come on talk to me. If you don’t talk to me how do I know what the problem is. Ok fine I am sorry for the late visit that came as a result of my barbecue business but then I have apologized and ready to apologize again if it will perk you up.”
Mr. Fanny turned his scowled face to her , and stared into her face.
She peered to him, placed her palms on his cheeks and stroked his cheeks with her long red-vanished artificial nails and he gently held her hands, sat up and brought her palms to his thick lips. With his eyes shut , he stamped a grateful kiss on them and she wanted to tell him that each time the moisture of his lips came on her body it always rained in her heart.
He snorted as soon as he raised his lips from her palms. “I am grateful for what you have done so far. Trust me if you ask me. I can’t even promise you I can do it for you. This to me is the highest risk one can take for love. But the fact is I am not happy with myself,” he said and went cold.
“Come on sugar crumb!” she called, drifted to his side, curled her slender sexy legs around his waist and tickled his ears and rear of his skull, “I am not complaining , am I?” she asked holding him firmly on the cheeks and locking eyes with him, “You know I never wanted to fall in love. Love from day one has been a cliché so I decided early enough to avoid it and commercialize my body, since no man was going to own it. I can say it to your face that you are my first lover and first boyfriend, first man, however you call it. And because you are the first in my life, I am ready to sacrifice whatever it will take to protect and keep you alive.”
He interrupted, “Yes but not selling drugs. It is too risky a venture. Don’t forget I have been there. Your rival associates could kill you, police could nab you, even your customers could snitch on you just to get back at you for maltreating them. Look at me today,” he said; pointing at himself pitiably, “I am in jail because of drugs. I don’t want you to join me here. I don’t want you to be killed. I don’t want you to err against your conscience.
She shook her head, “No, no, no, don’t discourage me sweet cube. Don’t. I am not doing this for you, neither am I doing it for myself. I am doing it because it is the needful thing that must be done. Thugs in jail are brutal. These days you hear news of a prison inmates been lynched mysteriously. Who do you think that perpetrates this act uh? I don’t want you to be a victim.”
“Trust me. I am just going to be strong. Right now I want to start training to learn self defense tactics so that when they hit me, I will hit them back and defend myself. I believe I can fight them and withstand them and when I do this the bullying will stop and I can reject the drugs coming from your brother. Everything will be fine again.”
Lucy shook her head in disapproval. “May I ask you , sweetie?” she said and smacked her tiny sensual lips, “How many are these thugs in question?”
Fanny stared in the ceiling to recall, “They are – are seven, most times four,”
“Seven!” she snapped , “All your life you have never trained to fight and defend yourself , and I know you don’t have any skill of martial arts . You are just setting up yourself for death. One man against seven brutal-looking, hefty, armed prison thugs is like you telling seven lions to kiss your ass. You know what they will do? After kissing your ass, they will munch your ass. There is no way you can go against them, sweetie. No way. I am not going to let you go to hell, let alone go to hell with fuel. You could think anything against them but you can’t do anything against them. The moment you are beating one of them the other six will light up your ass, and then I will be heartbroken for lfe.
Fanny shook his head and pulled to her, welcoming the rose flower fragrance that hung over her, “You are doing well already as a barbecue joint owner. I don’t want to spoil that reputation.”
She said swiftly, “You are my reputation. The reason I do nasty things and don’t regard them as nasty. I am not going to let you die under my love and care. I promise…”
They locked eyes….
