Fight

Jessie came downstairs for her breakfast, the aroma of fried steak filled the air,

Hmmm, I smell something nice,

I asked the maids to prepare this one just for you, Richard said giving her smile.

Try it, Richard passed a fork to her,

Taking a bite from the steak, wow this taste really nice.

Try some also, Jessie said trying to feed Richard.

No, thanks, I'm not really a fan of steak,

Ok, but you should also try something else.

Not hungry , come on we have a lot to talk about Richard replied.

Wassup guys,

Jessie and Richard turned to see Roland coming down from the stairs,

How are you feeling Jessie, heard you were sick .

I'm okay now, Jessie replied,

Well Jessie, can I ask for a favour, Roland asked.

Sure,

A friend of mine will be hosting a party,he gave me a special invitation, I'd like you to accompany me.

What are you saying Roland, Richard said getting up from his chair, her father is definitely searching for a way to track us, it's so dangerous out there, and here you are wanting to take her out for a so called party.

Richard, you are forgetting something, she's not a child, she's of age , let her speak for her self, Roland said turning to Jessie,

So what do you have to say Jessie,

Jessie looked at Richard eyes, she could read his eyes telling her NO don't go,

But she didn't want to make Roland feel bad, he had been so good to her ever since her stay in his house .

Sure , Jessie said .

Yes, Roland said beaming , I'll ask the maids to get you ready, and as for your safety,my boys will be coming with me.

Don't let her out of your sight, Richard said strictly.

That shouldn't be your business, Richard, I'm in charge,I gat everything under control.

They stood in silence giving each other a death look.

Take care of yourself Jessie, Richard said turning around to leave

~~~~~~~~~

Roland stood resting on the car.he looked at his watch

I wonder what's taking her so long.

Roland gave himself a new curly hairstyle, his blonde hair resting close to his hazel eyes .he had a perfect symmetrical features.He looked so handsome.

The maids couldn't stop ogling at him.

Jessie step down from the stairs, she was wearing a red gown touching the floor, her long brown hair swayed in rhythm with her hips as she walked towards Roland, with a beautiful pair of black shoes 

Roland, kept staring at her he had never seen this beautiful side of Jessie,

You look amazing, Roland said extending his hands to Jessie, I'm sure all men at the party would be jealous of me ,he opened the door of the car for her,

Meanwhile Richard stood, up from his room through the windows,he knew Jessie wasn't safe with Roland,he was angry Jessie was looking beautiful for another man,at the same time angry she was leaving with Roland.

He dipped his hands into pocket and brought a telephone

Come pick me up, bring the boys.

Hurry up he ordered disconnecting the call.

~~~~~~~~

At the party Jessie stood close to Roland, every one attention was on them,men kept ogling at Jessie,

Hi ,Mr Roland,a hand waved him .

Hey Stacy ,look at you, you've grown to be a beautiful woman,

How have you been Mr Roland.

As you can see, perfectly fine,

Who is this person next to you, Stacy asked pointing to Jessie .

Oh, she's my girl, Roland said smiling, his hands were wandering around her waist towards her hips,

Jessie looked at Roland in disgust, please excuse I'll like to use the restroom, she said excusing herself.

Wow Mr Roland, your girl is so hot , why didn't you tell me you had a woman,

It's a secret, Roland said whispering in her ears

They burst into a heavy laughter.

Mr Roland, you haven't change a bit.

At the restroom, Jessie felt scared,I shouldn't have come to this place, she said to her self, Roland is such a freak,I think I need to tell him to take me back home.

As she was leaving, she heard a loud sound coming from the male restroom, she walked towards the door peeping, she saw some men smoking, 

Today's party is gonna be lit, they said to themselves,we need some pretty ladies to spice it up, They laughed wickedly,

This place is a mess , Jessie thought,I better take my leave,as she turned to leave her foot struck against the wall,

Ouch she cried out,

I heard a voice, one of them said,They came out to check, but they found nothing, Jessie was hiding behind the door,

But I see a red cloth there, one said walking towards the door,

Come on, let's go,stop hallucinating, another replied.

The men turn to leave,

Aaah-choo Jessie sneezed, the place was dusty with no ventilation.she couldn't hold her self,

The men stoped walking, turning around, one of them moved forward,I knew I wasn't hallucinating,

Jessie came out,

The men kept staring at her in lust.

Seems this is free gift for us,they said laughing.

One moved close to her, trying to hold her wrist,how about we play together,

Please,No, leave me , Richard, Richard please I need you,at this moment she knew Richard wasn't here, but all she could say is calling out to him.

A hard punch, dropped on her face, shut up, All we're asking for is just some play, cooperate, The man said while grinning

And who's is this Richard you keep calling, the music from the party kept echoing,no one was able to hear them,

They seized her clothes, trying to rip it about, when one of the men flew into the air.Another head was banged against the wall,two got fired a bullet on their head,

A slap land on one of the men face, after Wish a blow followed, the rest ran away

Jessie laid on the floor, she tried to look who it was, Her vision was not clear, but she could sense it was Richard, she smiled knowing Richard came for her and fainted.

Richard anger,was intensely high,he knew something bad would happen, that was why he followed them down to the party.

Richard rushed to Jessie, please stay with me, Roland that bastard he screamed.

Hey,he called out to his boys, prepare the car,

Yes sir,

~~~~~~~~

Back at Roland house Jessie had regained her consciousness, she looked around, Seeing Richard there made her feel better.

Richard, she called

Richard rushed to her, Jessie how are you feeling,

I'm okay, and I'm truly sorry Richard for not listening to you.

It's okay, it's not your fault that those fools tried to take advantage of the situation.

Oh My God, Jessie, thank goodness you're safe, Roland said walking towards the bed .

I apologize,I was so busy that I didn't notice, you were in danger,

Roland turned to Richard, how is she fe...

Before Roland completed the sentence a punch landed on his right eye,

You jerk,busy with what, busy flirting with other women.i saw you at the party, don't lie, Richard shouted.

I blame myself,to think I let you took her to the Party, you imbecile,he gave Roland another blow,

Roland stood up rushing towards Richard to give him a blow,

Richard dodge his attack and kicked him at his legs.

Fight broke out, Richard pushed Roland backward.

Really, you still have the nerve to raise your hand at me,Richard said in annoyance.

Stop it , please stop, just stop,

Jessie said while crying, she fell back to the bed.

It pained Richard to see her this way , pushing Roland away,he rushed to Jessie.

Jessie,I'm sorry,he said caressing her face .

I'm truly sorry,

Roland scoffed and left in annoyance

~~~~~~~~~~

Jessie rested her head on Richard lap.

Do you need anything he asked her,

Yes, Jessie replied.

Alright,tell me I'll ask the maids to bring them,

Jessie kept quiet,then she uttered

You,

Richard stared into her eyes in surprise.

Yeah, just YOU Richard, she said with a smile.

Please stay with me.

And try to sort out things with Roland,I know he is your best friend,it wasn't his intentions to hurt me.

For some moment, there were silence.

Jessie resting on his laps, while Richard gazing at her with love in his eyes.
