Just as the three were about to intersect, the car came to a screeching halt sending the girls flying in different directions especially Miranda and Stacy who were seated at the back. They had their heads knocked at the front passenger seats. It was a good thing the two ladies at the front passenger seat had their belts secured.
” Damn it! Who did we offend tonight to keep messing with us?” Ava asked, obviously angry.
Looking ahead, they saw a car parked In front of them. For some reason, the girls panicked worried if they have landed themselves kidnappers.
While they were contemplating on what to do next, a young man stepped down from the sports car and started heading towards their car. Ava who was good at scrutinising people did not sense any malice from his leaking Aura. On the contrary, he seemed amicable but that did not stop her from fuming at him after he pulled that stunt on them.
Ava was sure if she was the one driving tonight, then tomorrow’s news would be painted with the pictures of the four of them in an accident.
Unbuckling her seat belt, she pushed the door open and stepped down. She was determined to give that a**hole some lectures on not driving If he wasn’t trained.
Looking at their friend appearing like an angry lioness ready to pounce on whoever came across her, the three friends prayed that the man would not develop post traumatic stress disorder after Ava was done with him. They relaxed on their seats ready to watch an interesting drama.
” Hey,” Ava shouted immediately as the man came close to her.
” Stand where you are, don’t you dare come any closer, you psycho.” Ava started her scolding.
” If you don’t know how to drive a car why not employ someone to be your driver? If you have plans of getting yourself killed, you should just throw yourself at a river or off a building. Do you have to drag others to your plans of commiting suicide, do you think we are all tired of living like you?” Ava scolded without giving the man the permission to defend himself.
Ronald who for the years he has been alive never received a scolding not even from his mother was dumbfounded.
He wondered what was wrong with ladies these days? First, a lady out of nowhere kissed his brother and now he was getting a scolding from another one who seemed even crazier than the first one .
This was foreign to him so he stood rooted in one place staring at this alien being In front of him.
Seeing him staring at her without uttering a single word aggravated Ava’s anger. The nerve of this guy.
” Hey i’m talking to you, who are you looking at? Haven’t you ever seen beautiful women? Do you want me to gouge those eyes till you can’t gawk anymore.” Ava shouted but the man kept quiet.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
” I’m talking to you! Are you deaf or something? Are you guilty that you can’t talk, are you?” she continued.
Ronald was amused by her actions. He wondered how could a lady be such a chatterbox blabbing about and not minding her image? Are ladies not supposed to be reserved and not too talkative? Then what was wrong with this one? Why was he meeting weirdos Tonight? He wondered inwardly.
Taking a second glance, he found her quite familiar but couldn’t exactly pinpoint where he saw her. If there’s something Ronald wasn’t good at was face recognition, that’s why his secretary was always there with him, twenty four seven to do the remembering for him.
Pushing that thought at the back of his mind, he turned to leave without saying anything. He had come to apologise for what he did but from the look of things, his apology will not be valued, worse is she’ll curse him with his apologies.
He had just taken three steps, when the chatterbox Opened her mouth yet again.
” Look at you? Acting all mighty. Don’t you know how to say sorry when you do something bad? Is your ego so important that you can’t bend it low to apologise?” Ava threw questions after questions mocking the young man walking away.
” Can’t you behave like a gentleman?” She shouted and turned to head back to her car.
Those words hit a spot in Ronald’s mind and immediately turned and walked towards the retreating figure who was still raining curses on him.
He reached out to her and pushed her harshly towards the car, holding her wrists that he was sure red marks would be left behind due to his grasp.
Leaning towards her, he saw her shudder in fear and that made him happy.
Yes, she reacted just how he loved to see people react upon seeing him.
He loved it when people trembled in fear upon seeing him.
” Be a gentleman? That word does not exist in the library. The next you utter such words, I’ll let you know how gentle manly I can be.” His voice sent ice daggers straight to Ava’s body but she was not the one to back out it easily.
Pushing him off her, she gave him a resounding slap across his face. Her chest was heaving up and down due to anger.
” And the next time you try that shit on me I’ll remind you how to respect Ladies.” With that, she opened the door and settled down. As if on cue, Lucia drove off immediately while the three girls couldn’t control their laughter.
Ronald, who had received a slap from a woman, stood frozen. One could mistake him for a statue. He couldn’t believe how bad his luck was tonight.
” Damn you!” He cursed but a small smile bloomed on his face.
She was the first woman to slap him and he swore he would make her regret ever crossing paths with him.
He liked how feisty she was, she was just perfect, just how he liked his women. He swore by the time he’ll be done with her, she’ll be as good as a puppy, his puppy but who would have thought that later, he would turn to be Avas puppy, wagging his tail and carrying out every one of her words just to gain her favour.
