Boat cruise

"What?! Did he just say I should not bother getting another job? Was he behind me loosing my job after job? I should've known that but it didn't occur to me at that moment because I really didn't know him.

"La da di la da dow" I sang and hummed as I skipped and waltzed past the balcony. I had heard it from a movie scene where the couple danced and the opera band played. It was such a beautiful scene. I was spinning when I saw the shadows from the boss' house. I saw the boss and somebody that looks like Davis but there was another man with them but he was on his knees with folded arms. I walked towards the house to get a better view behind the curtains but one of the bodyguards walked up to me.

"Ma'am, boss said you should please go in"

"Uh_um, yeah okay" I said and turned back and walked to my house and shut the door behind me. I took a peep I was tying to figure out what was going on and he was still standing there, so I switched off the lights and walked to my room.

I had slept earlier but I was still feeling tired, I opened the door to my room and zipped down my gown and there I was laying on my bed in my underwear.

Why doesn't he want to tell me his name? Why does everybody do whatever he tells them to? Why was that man kneeling and begging before him? I need answers, I was told I will get answers but I didn't even get an answer to any of my questions; well some of them like his favourite food, favourite colour; all those little things about a person but he didn't tell me anything relating to his identity not even his name.

My eye lids became heavy. I don't know but it's about time to call myself lazy I mean, I slept an hour ago why am I feeling sleepy now? I couldn't take it anymore so slowly drifted away to another world far from reality and anything that would stress me; that's the wonderful thing about "sleep".

I was glowing and smiling as I woke up from my slumber I had a beautiful dream of me and Damola, I won't give you the details cause its rated eighteen and above, and I don't wanna be spoiling y'all, haha! I can't wait till we reach that stage of romance. Damola is so...

Oh my father! I haven't spoken to him since yesterday morning when Cassie and Davis came to pick me up as if it was a kidnap.

"Where did I keep my phone?" I said as I began searching for it. I checked my bed, under my bed, the drawers, under the drawers but I couldn't find it. I was about to open my wardrobe to check but I heard a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked

"Davis" the person replied

I was about to go and answer the door when I realized I was in my under wear. I looked around and saw my robe laying carelessly on the floor, its been there since yesterday. So I picked it up and put it on.

"Yes?" I asked after I answered the door.

"We leave in fifteen minutes"

"So early?"

"Ma'am its 9:46"

"What?!" I woke up late again? I'm not organized these days.

"I need to go and check up on my mother"

"She's in the living room, she's okay"

"Oh okay, let me just shower and come out"

"Alright ma'am" he said and left.

I quickly took my bath and put on some joggers and a polo, I had no idea where we're going so I just went casual.

I stepped out of my room and I could hear my mother laugh.

"Davis is cracking jokes?" i thought. He's too serious and grumpy for that but everybody has a soft side. I walked to the living room and I found mom laughing so hard, she looked so happy but Davis was standing by the side he wasn't smiling then who... Oh no the boss was cracking jokes? I walked closer and saw the boss smiling. That's it! This guy has officially stolen mom's heart, she loves funny people and it had to be this guy. He was already generous and nice now he's funny? This is messed up, she might end up getting me married to him.

"Mama good morning"

"Sandra , this young man is so hilarious" she said pointing at the boss.

"Good morning sir"

"Sandra?" James said reminding her not to call him sir.

"Sorry" I said smiling

James leaned forward and faced Mama

"Mama i would like to take your daughter out for today, i need your permission" James asked

Mama looked at me, then back at the boss and then agreed

"Of course you can, i know she's safe with you" Mama said looking at me. Mama had to do this to me, I don't want to be around somebody I don't know properly I mean he doesn't even want to tell me his name!

"Thank you Mama, expect her by five" he said and stood then then he walked up to me and extended his hand and I gave him mine and we walked out of the house.

We walked outside the gate and the site was unbelievable but I somehow expected this from a wealthy young man like him. Four jeeps, Prada to be precise and two Limo were lined up in front of my house. Does this guy go everywhere with a convoy as large as this? Attention!!! This attracts attention from robbers, thieves, mention it but I think this guy is as invisible as the wind. Robbers and thieves should fear him cause his security is tight, I don't think the president has this kind of entourage, he even has security escorts aside from the convoy, I felt as if I would faint. I was so awestruck that I had no idea the boss had left and entered the car.

I saw another person in the limo as he was about to close the door, it was a lady cause she was wearing a heel and a gown but couldn't see her face.

"Ma'am, we are about to leave" Davis said as he opened the door to the other Lino.

"He's not coming with me?"

"No ma'am, he has some matters to attend to so he needed privacy that's why he's in the other car"

"Okay" I said but looked at the car again and then went in. Davis started the car and we hit the road

I can't remember where I dropped my phone, I'm so worried that Damola must be worried about me. I had even said I'll call him when i got home. If not for this outing I would've gone to see him.

The car came to a halt and Davis opened the door for me, I was being treated like a princess and it was overwhelming. I came down and looked around we were in front of a building painted plain white with its name "CRUZE" painted in black. It seemed classy and I could see boats and yachts around. The boss was still in his car but he came out the moment Davis knocked on the door and Davis closed the door behind him. He walked to me and directed me to the building. Before we went in I took a peek back at the car James came in and the lady was outside but she was facing back so I couldn't see her face.

As I stepped foot in the building we met Cassie the moment we entered the building.

"Here's your dress ma'am for the boat cruise" Cassie said and handed me shopping bag

"My dress?"

"Yes, what you're putting on isn't fit for the cruise"

"Well, nobody told me where we were going" I said and looked at the boss. James gave her a smirk the moment she looked at him .

"You can change in here" Cassie said as she opened the door to the dressing room. "I'll be out here waiting for you while the yacht is being prepared to leave Cassie said

"Alright" I said and went in to change.

Chevron long gown, it was very free and perfect for a boat cruise. Its a bit transparent but had a linen inside that stopped on my thighs. I came out of the dressing room and Cassie led me to the yacht but she didn't follow me in.

"You're not coming?" I asked

"No" she said

"Why?"

"The boss needs some alone time with you"

"Alone time?" I asked with a raised eyebrow but she didn't answer me and just walked away.

I became nervous, how the heck was I going to spend an alone time with somebody I don't know, somebody as annoying as James? I walked slowly admiring the boat still nervous but you have to praise something if it's worthy of it, it wasn't too big neither small; it was just perfect for two couples or maybe three cause I could see three rooms and another room tagged the store room. I didn't see the boss inside so i went outside and the breeze was amazing.

"Come here Sandra" James said seated on a pool side chair with a glass of wine in his hand

"Weren't you worried I'll get lost? But here you are chilling" I said furiously

"Its not a big boat Sandra and you didn't get lost, see you're here"

"Argh" I said and walked towards him. "My mother said I should be nice with you and all that's why I've been a good girl to you. Now tell me what do you want from us?"

"You know there's something I find weird about people. When you don't offer to help they complain and even when you help they complain or aren't satisfied"

"I didn't ask for all of this, why are you doing it anyway?" I waited for an answer but he kept mum

"So now you're not going to talk? Okay then let's start with a simple question"

"What_ Is_your_name?" i said breaking down my words.

He looked at me and pinched my cheeks.

"You're so cute" he said and stood up.

"I'm so tired of this man, God send me a miracle to end this alone time" I thought

"So what can I get you? Cause I'm sure you haven't had breakfast"

"All thanks to you" I said with a sarcastic smile

"Sorry ma'am"

"What can you offer me?" I asked

"Everything you could ever ask for"

" What?! I meant for breakfast Mr. Romantic"

"We have everything you want for breakfast"

"Okay then, give me one of everything"

"Are you a foodie?"

"Yeah duh, I could even eat you after breakfast"

James moved closer to her and leaned forward holding the chair, trapping her in between his arms

"You want to eat me?" He said looking deeply into my eyes with a hint of naughty.

"Uh_Um_I_I_I..."

"James!" we heard a voice shout, James looked up and I looked back and I saw the lady. The lady that was in the car with him. He brought the lady with him? I thought he wanted an alone time with me whatever it was for but she?
