???????? Stolen Sweetheart Chapter Four:
There was a bitter quarrel when I got to her house. She insisted that, though I might not be the one responsible for the pregnancy, because she had been sleeping with me and the zaddy unprotected, I still have to take full responsibility. Her excuse was that I had made the zaddy to dump her. Therefore, I needed to take responsibility. I told her she was a joker, a big joker. I finally told her that when the child is born, we will go for a paternity test. She got angrier when I proposed that and drove me out of her house.
The next day, I went to talk to some of the few friends I had made in the neighbourhood. One of them whom I had heard was a retired armed robber, told me not to mind Rita. She said Rita knew who got her pregnant. She was just trying to pin the pregnancy on me. He said he had full knowledge of Rita’s illicit activities, and it would be in my own interest if I stopped seeing her altogether.
A few days later, Rita called me and begged me to give her money to abort the pregnancy. She said her Zaddy had abandoned her and so had I. She said she was frustrated and needed to abort the baby so that she could get back to living her life normally. I felt pity for her and gave her 25,000. A week later, I met her and asked her how everything went. She said she changed her mind. She said she was going to keep the baby and had used the money to buy some baby things. Well, I wished her luck and went away.
My friendship with the retired armed robber had now grown. He was rumoured to have retired. However, from the look in his eyes and the things he said, I doubted if he wasn’t still in the game. One day, he had a conversation with me. His name was Billy, but he insisted I call him The Boss.
“I can see you are new in town.” He began.
“Yes, just a few months.”
“And you have already gotten a lady pregnant. Sharp guy!!” He laughed.
“I think I am innocent. She has another guy. I am sure he’s responsible for it.”
“You think you are innocent, but is your equipment innocent?” He asked, laughing. “Your equipment seems to be working overtime. You have to zip it. In fact, you have to be careful. The city is more treacherous than you think.”
“That’s true.” I admitted. “Thank you.”
“You need to know a few things about life in town. Would you like me to be your mentor?”
“Yes”
“Don’t worry, I will teach you all you need to know about the ways of the city. Tonight, if and when you are free, meet me at home and we will go for a stroll.” He spoke.
“Alright”
That night, after I had closed. I went to meet him at his home. Together, we went outing and he showed me a lot of places I didn’t know existed in the city. He was very kind to me. He even took me to a restaurant later and bought me Chicken and French fries. He was a little older than me and I saw him more like an elder brother than a friend. When we got back to his house, he went into his bedroom while I stayed in the living room. When he got back, he held something in his hand. It was a pistol.
I cringed at the sight of the pistol and almost bolted out of the place. He asked me to calm down and handed the gun to me.
“I know you have never touched a gun before. This is what I have been using to protect myself. It’s mostly for defensive purposes. I know you have heard stories of me being an armed robber. Yes, I was an armed robber. A hardened one at that. However, in spite of this gun, I haven’t practiced armed robbery in about six years. These days, I practice a more genuine trade. I work as a loader at the main park. So, do not be afraid.” He spoke.
To tell you the truth, I didn’t believe a thing in all he told me. To me, he was still a dangerous man, and I figured one way or the other, I would have to look for a means to disengage myself from him. But then, I knew I had to be careful. He had already revealed some aspects of himself to me. If I tried to distance myself from him, he might decide that I was a threat, and who knew what harm might come to me.
The next night, he asked me to accompany him to go see his girlfriend. I couldn’t refuse and followed him to his girlfriend’s place. We spent about two ours there. On our way back, just beside an off-license bar, we met a girl, smoking and crying seriously. We halted, went towards her and asked her what the matter was. At first, she was suspicious of us. But after a while, she became more confident and told us that her boyfriend had broken her heart. She said she had caught him red-handed on top of another woman. We consoled her for a while and then The Boss took her contact.
The next day, when The Boss and I were together, he called her, and she directed us to the location of her house. Her description was very vivid because when we followed it, it took us right in front of her door. She was very happy to see us. She offered us snacks and drinks and we didn’t refuse. On our way back from her home, while she was walking us to where we would get a bike, The Boss asked her out and she accepted.
I was very angry The Boss had beat me to it. I wanted her for myself. She was beautiful and looked rich. I needed a girl like that. I had just moved into the city, wanted to get into the university and badly needed a support system. The Boss on the other hand, had a girlfriend, girlfriends, actually. I knew he didn’t love Corine, as the girl was called. He just wanted to use her and dump her. I was angry at Corine too for accepting The Boss’ proposal so quickly. What was wrong with her?
I was doing something dangerous. I was angry with the boss because of a woman. I had to be careful. If he in the least suspected that I was eyeing the same woman he was interested in, it would be big trouble for me. In spite of the fact that he had taken me as a younger brother and a friend, he still suffered some insecurities. He had just elementary education and depended heavily on me when it came to stuffs like checking his mails and all that. He knew on a fair playing ground, with all the rules respected, Corine would choose me over him. That was of course no motivation for him to play fair. That was why he acted faster than me.
I made up my mind that some way or the other, I would snatch Corine from The Boss. It was a risky venture but I had to do it. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I kept hoping and hoping that she would realize that she needed a better man than The Boss with all his criminal ways. However, my fantasies were not materializing. One day, when the boss had travelled, I called Corine and proposed taking her out for a treat. She declined and that got me seriously angered. I stopped talking to her and stopped taking her calls.
When the boss got back, he realized that his friend and his girlfriend were not talking to each other. He didn’t know the reason but didn’t like it. He decided to arrange a meeting and reconciled us. A decision he would seriously come to regret.
