Chapter 6

I peek outside the window as the car is driving and love all the woods that are here. This site is a bit distance from the city therefore it takes some time to go there but it appears like our journey will be brief today as we approach another place and what is mentioned at the Entrance is that this is a Golf Estate. The car enters when the gate is opened and it drives In we pass some gorgeous residences that are here. They are huge but not as big as where I reside today. The car parks and Mr Nathaniel climbs out of the car and I suppose that I should. The door closes on his side and I try to open my door but it doesn't as it is locked. Why am I constantly imprisoned inside? He arrives opens the door and lets his hand out for me to grab onto as I get out.

“You don't open the door for yourself are we clear?”, I nod.

“Yes” “Good”, I swallow that moment as he closes the door behind me.

We start walking off together and the driver takes out something from the boot of the car. We go to a golf cart and he tells me I should get on and I do and assists me with its small seatbelt. After that the driver offers him his suitcase and he sets it on the cart and then he climbs on the driver's side and then in a couple of minutes the cart is driving off. There is some stillness between us until we reach some males who are with some ladies who are dressed more or less the same way I am dressed. He gets out of the cart and he comes and helps me out and I thank him before he grabs his stuff and takes my hand and we head to where these folks are.

“Ah the mighty has arrived!”, one man cries with his arms wide extended.

“And I am about to beat your ass”

“I am accepting the challenge”, the man says.

“You can go and sit down with those ladies. If you need anything get anything from those men and tell them to put it on my tab”, I nod.

“Okay”

“Who is this?", one of the men inquired.

“None of your business, let's get onto it”, he replies as I walk and sit down where the other females are.

They have cellphones and are snapping photographs of each other while they have orange and red beverages in their hands.

“Hello”, I replied before sitting down and grasping my luggage tightly.

“Hi, who are you?”, They inquire.

“I am Kaitlin”, I say.

They glance at me.

“Oh, who do you come with?”, they inquire staring at each other.

“It better not be some bitch my husband invited”, one woman adds and I swallow.

“I came with...with Mr Nathaniel”, they stared at me in astonishment.

“You mean Nathaniel Thorne. Thee Thorne”, That is his name? They sense my perplexity for a minute and one lady responds.

“The man who is wearing black like you”, the lady says.

Yes, we are the only ones who are wearing black and I don't know why when some are wearing white and just one woman is wearing pink.

“Yes”

“What are you to him?”, one woman says looking interested in what I had to say.

“I…I don't know what you mean”, I say “Ladies”, we hear a voice behind us and we turn and he is standing behind me.

“Hi”, they say in Union.

“Can I borrow this lady for some time?”, they nod

“Sure”, one of them says.

I rise and get my luggage before following him behind and we stand at a great distance.

“How are you feeling?”, he says.

“I am okay”

“You don't feel overwhelmed?”, I shake my head.

“No”

“Mmh”

He inserts his hands in his pocket.

“Don't stress about these ladies. They are nosey. We shall be here for a few minutes okay?”, I nod.

“They are asking me questions that I don't know how to answer”, I honestly remark.

“Like what I am to you”, he remains quiet for a bit and I do the same.

“Don't answer it. I will take care of it”, I nod.

“Okay you can go then”, I nod and move off to go and join the girls.

“We have ordered a cocktail for you. We hope you enjoy it”

I sat down and they offered me a glass and I thanked them and started drinking. I didn't enjoy it for one bit. It didn't taste as sweet.

“What is in here?”

“Alcohol”

“So this is what people obsess over alcohol. I don't like it”, I place the glass down and they look at me.

“So where are you from?”, they inquire.

“From a faraway place”

“Very far like?”

“Just very far”, they gaze at each other and then at me.

We observed the golf competition that was unfolding between these men. Apparently from what I have learned is that they are business colleagues. I don't know what business they are affiliated with but that is what I heard. They played and after that, the men came near us. We were enjoying finger snacks and the ladies were chatting about everything lovely, like trips to where and all of that.

“You are still good?”, I nod and stare at him as he stands next to me.

“You eat too much carbs and meat honey”, the lady adds. They had vegetarian finger snacks.

“Is it wrong?”, I look around.

“You will get fat”, One says.

I just smile.

“Well we will see when that happens”, I replied.

“We should get going”, Thorne says as he extends out his hand for me and I clean my hands and accept his hand.

“I thought we would sit a bit after the game”, one person adds.

“My lady here has a hair appointment and she doesn't want to be late”, he adds and I stare at him.

I do. I just grin and opt to not say anything.

We left everyone and headed to the cart. He placed everything of his and we climbed inside before he drove the cart to where we came from.

* “What would you like on your hair?”, the lady asks.

I wasn't even aware that I had a hair appointment and here I was in front of the mirror with this girl standing behind me waiting for me to tell her what I wanted.

“Can you wash it?”, she puts her fingers in my afro and grins.

“We can treat it and since you are not sure about anything we can blow out your hair and then straighten it”, she offers.

“I saw women who had silky hair. I like that but short soft hair. They say they purchased it”

I think of the women that were at the Golf estate.”

I was left here at the Salon and informed that I would be picked up later on.

“Oh, we can put that on. With a 360 closure”, the woman says with a smile.

We go on with my hair being treated and washed, following that she starts making cornrows on my hair and then she takes a few samples of the wig when she is done with my hair. She presents it to me and I ask for the short bob and she starts to implant the wig on me. I sit there for a bit and I gaze at myself in the mirror.
