I Don't Want to Go there....!

Maybe I was once that person who picked ladies because of their shape and their looks, Dee was something different. She is everything a man would want, a shield during the hard times and I was not going to just let some girl who thinks she is replaceable.

"You have something you want to say here?" I asked the lady as I closed the laptop and looked at her. 

"You know, it's good to say that she is not the good person you will ever have. Maybe she is clinging to you because you have money. What I am wondering is why would you choose someone like her over me who is petite and lovely?"

I wanted to laugh, I wanted to slap the shit out of this girl but I controlled myself. I knew Dee wouldn't love to hear that I beat a girl up.

So I just let her stand there and think she was petty.

They say the apple is the cute gruit you will see but not everyone loves apple, some people even love lemons though they are bitter. 

Just like Dee, I love her for who she is. Whether she is an apple or a lemon, I still love her. 

She was still standing beside me, trying to show off her boobs and her slim waist but I was not concerned about it.

I didn't care about anything. All I wanted was for Dee to present all she wanted clearly and openly. This was her game. I can say I worked hard. But this girl truly worked hard she didn't care who was standing in her way and she beat all the obstacles.

Dee brought the projector and the guard was carrying it for her. 

"You can't carry it on your own with that big body of yours?" Asked Gertrude.

That was the only thing that got me on my nerves and I couldn't sit down anymore. 

I stood and placed my hands on her neck. I didn't care what she was, a girl or not, I was going to choke the life out of her.

"What did you say again?" I asked her with my voice high pitched on her face.

My knuckles were turning white and all I could see was red in front of me, suddenly Dee came to me and touched my hands. She didn't want me to do it. What was she trying to do? I was supposed to take this bitch down and I was determined more than anything that she was going down.

"You don't want to do this, " told Dee looking at me. 

"Are you happy with the way she treated you and called you?" I asked looking at her. 

"Just let her be you don't want to do this hun," said Dee.

I left her neck and walked away from Dee, I couldn't believe she was planning to let this butch go with that after she has called her names for who she is not and the only thing she can do is let her walk like nothing was said?

The second I stepped my second feet away from Gertrude, I heard a resounding slap across the room that shrieked even my body. 

The guard was standing by the table with his mouth wide open after saying "wow!"

I turned around and Dee had thrown her and sprawled her on the table. I couldn't hear what she was saying but when the next slap resounded on Gertrude's cheeks, I knew this was not the normal girl whom I thought was going to let her go scot-free. Instead, she wanted me to leave Gertrude for her to handle.

Punching her on the fave, she left let her go and walked to the washroom.

I decided to follow her after telling the guard to escort the lady outside. I didn't want to see her face again.

"Are you okay?" I asked her. 

She looked at me and held my hands, I didn't know what she was going to tell me but instead of words coming out of my mouth, she placed her head on my chest and calmed down from her heavy breathing.

"Next time you want me to leave them for you, just shout because I wanted to beat the shit out of her."

She sighed and looked at me, I didn't know if I had her something bad but she doesn't need to be treated like this.

"Do you think everyone is going to point out how I look every day?" She asked me. 

She has never asked me. She is always happy about who she is. Where is this coming from? 

"Hun, you don't have to think about that. I love you very much and don't let whatever people think or say affect yous."

Maybe that is what I was thinking of. 

I didn't know what she was thinking. I know she hates being messed up, she hates her day to be ruined when it has never started.

" I am just imagining, that girl was so beautiful and you could take her anytime, but you decided to let her go, why?"

"That is because I love you and you are the girl I love, don't think differently about who you are. I love you and I would love you to know that," I usually say that, because that's what I want with her.

"Love you too," she said and a sigh of relief washed through my body. 

She cleaned up and walked through the door, it was already thirty minutes past time. The thirty minutes was supposed to start but there was nobody inside the room. 

I had to ask again unless they had changed the venue. In the middle of the call, two large men were already in the house and they sat down eyeing Dee who was busy preparing the presentation. 

The other members arrived, they were highly recognized people in this community. If this is how 'highly' are regarded and they want to reconsider their lateness as something very important, I don't think I am going to work with them.

Dee looked at the uneasiness in me, she was giving me a hard glare, and I know what that meant. The thing is that I cant stay put with all these guys running late and they don't care.

Standing up to face the people at the table, I had made up my mind. If they wanted my deal and some help, they must have e thought about this some time ago instead of coming in late and making us wait for another one hour for their arrival. Perhaps this place is not worth investing in after all.

"I think we are not going to wait anymore for the visitors, if they are that serious, I think they should have arrived earlier than this, but looks like I am the one interested in it, give them my regards, I am done for the day," I finished my statement and went up to Dee who was frowning.

"This is the highest disrespect I have seen him, I am not going to stand here and humiliate myself because someone wants to join hands with me, I am not settling for that, they will have to crawl back and ask for it, lets go, hun," I grabbed her handbag, placed it under my armpits like the loving man I am and grabbed her hands, my bodyguard was waiting for us at the door. 

"What are you trying to do Mr Jake, are you trying to make yourself look like the biggest person here? We are going to have gold and other precious previous and rare gems exported and you will be crying for our partnership, just give our heads time they will arrive soon" said one of the present members. 

I turned around and looked at him, his glasses were too big on his eyes and his belly was high, covering almost his whole face. I don't care about the golds, that is something he doesn't know.

"It's not about the gold and silvers or the diamonds that are so important. Trying to learn about the market and stocks are so important. I just hope that your chair had everything headed for the market," I told him.

"Hey young fat lady, next time you want to get hold of a white man, don't do it here in Cairo, try it somewhere else, in here we are strict about what we do, so don't think that you have a man for yourself, I bet you are the reason we haven't been able to—"

"Fuck you! And fuck you again. The next time you want to speak to my wife about that, you will not see the light of the day again. She is my wife and not some skimpy Secretary you have here who was trying to seduce me and lift her breast for me to see, I have respect for everyone and I am not going to stand here and watch you insult my girl, you hear me?"

I was not standing this, the time she called Dee fat, my hands were already on his face. I threw one punch at his face and he was down on the floor, groaning in pain as he hid his face.

Dee dragged me from hitting his stupid face further. This was not happening one day in a row, what the fuck is wrong with some people here. The bodyguard was busy defending us from the people inside the room. 

When we arrived at the reception we were stopped by some men in blue.

"Diana, you are hereby arrested for assaulting Miss Gertrude."

What the hell, so Dee was being arrested, this can't get any better today can't it?

I looked at Gertrude who was putting one hell Of a show by clutching the ice on her cheeks as she looked at Dee. 

"Are you serious now you bitch?" I shouted at Gertrude. She can't be sitting down here knowing very well that she was the one on the wrong here. She needed to accept that she did something very bad instead of just pretending to be hurt and crying.

"I don't care, she doesn't even deserve you, " she said with an awkward face with make-up all ruined.

"You think you deserve to be with me, fuck you!" I was very angrier now, I walked towards Dee and tried to talk the police out of it. They had to know that Dee was not the wrong person here.

This is where they say, the victim is also the abuser. 

"Hey, it's okay, I am coming right away, I am behind you,". Told Dee as she was being dragged away by the police officers to the car.

"Mr Jake, I am Ali Abdullah, the C.E.O of the gold and Drip company, I was asking if you will consider my offer of—"

"Dude, fuck off, I am not interested, right now I need to save my wife from all this disaster caused by your fucking secretary!"

Who told him I was interested in his offer anyway, when I presented myself willingly to give them lessons, and to help them through, they didn't seem concerned. Now they think that they can get my help with just a tap of their hands? Fuck no, not even a chance.

"Are you sure about that because you have hurt my friend pretty bad inside there, maybe if you would reconsider my offer I can let the charges against your girlfriend go away and even give you a pretty woman who will satisfy all your needs," he said?

What the fuck is wrong with him right now? 

He wants to bribe me and make everything go away just like that? What is he even thinking about?

I didn't want to ask him the common question, 'do you know who I am?' 

Maybe until I am done getting Dee from all these assholes that's when I am going to show him who I am.

"Just get out of my way, maybe you can try giving that bribe get-away ticket to someone else but not me, I gotta go," I pushed him out of his way and was getting inside the vehicle to chase after Dee, but another officer stopped me.

"Jake Cummington you are arrested for assaulting a man in the office," said the officer.

"Fuck me, why a do you say now? Assaulting?" I quickly handed my hands to the officer to cuff them because that's what they were good at, putt g cuffs on people's hands and act as if everything is just okay without questioning.

Oh, Alli, you have a new enemy and you are going to lose everything you love. 

If only he could hear those words, he could have prepared himself with some big and important lawyers who will help him on the stand.

I was pushed into the same car as Dee, my guard knew what to do, call Claire and Dominic and have them come to the police station to bail us out.

"Why did they arrest you?" Asked Dee looking at me with a worried face.

"Just Ali being stupid and an asshole, trust me, they have Lost it all, and I don't care," I told her

She looked in front as the driver was busy driving the car.  

"I am sorry it's my fault for causing all the drama, I don't know how to say sorry, but I am," she said to me.

"No, you don't need to be sorry, you are just fine and you didn't do a thing wrong, they are the ones who did the wrong things," I told her. 

Why is she blaming herself for all that? She is supposed to be okay.

 She doesn't need to blame herself. I know this is going to throw a toll on her but I hope that she doesn't take everything seriously the way they have said. This was supposed to be her great day, to show some people that they can do something but some motherfucker couldn't just hold their mouth for a second and think about what they were talking about for a second.

"I could be giving words of advice, teaching people, but look at me, doing nothing, behind a police car being arrested for assaulting someone! I don't even believe what's happening. Do you think they will charge us?" She asked.

I didn't know what to tell her, explaining to her that they want us to agree on a deal to have us released is going to be a big problem. She won't agree to that. Not that I am agreeing to have us partner with people who are not committed to their work I just can't partner with an unorganized group of people who only look at the profit rather than looking at the bright side of the business.

"They will release us, I have called for Dominic mad Claire, they will clear our bail and we won't even be staying in there for ten minutes,"

 Ten minutes looked like a lot of time. To have us inside that place. Anything can happen and I don't know what will happen.

I just hope they won't harm us, that is the only thing I am hoping for.

"Hey, hun, look at me," I said to Dee while he was focused on the road.

"Mmh," the beam of tears could be seen below her eyes. I knew things were not going that great and she might like it all. But I was determined to make sure that she is okay.

"I love you and nothing is going to happen, just believe me okay?" 

I was assuring her, the only thing that I could manage right now.

Arriving at the police station, we were yanked off the vehicle and taken to different places. 

"I am scared, I don't want to go in there alone, I am scared, JAKE!"
