Chapter 16
CHRISTOPHER
We were having a nice evening before I got this call which is going to really complicate things when right now I'm trying to build a family, when I come back faith is trying to figure out what's going on but I'm like,
Faith: Sweetie, how are you?
Me: sure it's okay
Faith: But the face you're making isn't telling me anything good, what happened, did you get some bad news or what? You can tell me everything you know?
Me: may I tell you it's ok, listen to me once please
Faith: ok understood, I'm tired I'm going to sleep
She finishes the sentence she lays down and covers herself, when I try to kiss her she turns her cheek but I don't let it go I take her head between my two hands and I kiss her
Me: rest well
She doesn't answer me, I know she's angry and it's normal but I prefer to solve this problem on my own, I don't want to get involved in this problem and create other sources of stress for her
Flashback
I have just installed faith in the bedroom when my cell phone starts ringing, when I see the person calling I preferred to go out to answer this call
Me: hello
Claudia: hello my darling, it's been a while since you left and you don't miss any more girly shots
Me: I'm not your darling, what do you want
Claudia: I missed you so much baby, so I decided to join you laba
Me: I don't want you here, don't even dare bring you back here I'm warning you, you're supposed to be working in Paris, I'm not paying you to walk around as you see fit
Claudia: no but talk to me well, it's not only when you want to empty your balls that you have to treat me well huh, I'm not only there to satisfy you in bed, I also have feelings and you know very well that if I accept the little attention you give me it's because I love you
Me: I never promised you anything, I never gave you false hope, I was very clear with you and you knew what you were getting into so don't come play the victim here, I want you not here is it clear?
Claudia: I'm sure you found a little laba whore that you fuck, that's why you treat me like her isn't it? For your information, I'm in Lomé, you should come and see me
Me: but what are you doing to land here like that? You will kindly repack your bags I want to see you in Paris tomorrow
Claudia: baby don't shock the guy I know you like it when I surprise you, I send you my address by email, I have a surprise for you, surprises as you like them or you prefer that I come to your house myself
Me: I don't plan on coming to see you, and if that's all you had to tell me, I'll hang up, you call me tomorrow when you're in France
Claudia: baby, since you don't want to come and see me, I'll come by myself to see you at the OUA estate
Me: let it go, I'll pass, see you later….
I don't even wait to hear his answer, I hang up immediately, I have taken too long, faith may start by asking questions
End of flashback
When I leave the room I ask the cook to make soup for dinner, maybe if it's soup she won't vomit and I go sit in the living room, I think about this call for a while longer , if I don't go see her she's gonna show up here and that's the last thing I want
Claudia is my director of human resources, don't be fooled by her airhead girl appearance and her model physique, she is a very bright girl, she and I have been sleeping together for a few years, we have no relationship, she knows very well that there can be nothing between us and despite all our conquests we always find ourselves doing things, I have always been clear with her it has never bothered her, I have just come to work things out with Faith and if she finds out about it, she'll think I don't care about her, telling her about it now will only complicate things
Claudia's arrival is not entirely bad, let's say, I'm going to clear things up between us before she leaves for Paris, I love faith, we're going to have a child soon and start our family, I don't intend to leave anything come to disturb our peace, I was there thinking and I fell asleep without realizing it, it is the cook who comes to wake me up that dinner was ready, I did not know that I had slept so much, fatigue got the better of me…
Me: thank you, please prepare a tray, I'll bring it up myself to Madame
Mrs. Khadija: ok sir
She leaves and comes back a few minutes later the tray in her hand, I take it and I take it to faith, when I arrive she was talking on the phone with someone, she talks another minute before saying goodbye
Faith: it was Leïla, she says hello
Me: yep I thought so, I brought you dinner
Faith: thank you it's nice but I'm not really hungry
I put the tray on the bed I sit next to her
Me: you hardly ate anything today, you're going to have to make an effort even if you don't feel like it
Faith: aren't you eating?
Me: no not yet, I'll make sure you don't eat before you do it afterwards
Faith: no, I prefer that we do it together
Me: this is for you, you will have to eat it all by yourself
Faith laughing: aren't you kidding me? There's enough for us or more, I don't feel like eating alone
Me: at your command boss
She laughs out loud, I give her a spoon and I also take one, we eat while chatting, and without forgetting to praise Mrs. Khadija's cooking, when we finish I bring back the tray, I come to take my shower, I put on a white polo shirt and black jeans, when she sees me coming out of the dressing room
Faith: but where are you going?
Me: I have a truck to settle in town, don't worry, I won't be long
Faith: But it's late, can't you go tomorrow?
Me: but my heart it's only 7 p. m., I won't last, I promise
Faith: So you're really going to leave me alone?
Me: I won't be long, I'll be back before you even notice I'm gone
She says nothing more I give her a kiss and I leave, she was really on it, but don't make a fuss and let me go, it really makes me feel guilty, all the more reason for me to settle this story as soon as possible
When I arrive at the hotel where she is staying, I go up directly as she asked me, when I arrive in front of her door, I knock, she comes to open me, I see her in black lingerie and she jumps me above….
