Under His Protection

A DRINK

Vincent came to a halt as he stopped at a restaurant to grab a quick bite, he ran into the toilet and spat out the remaining food in his mouth immediately after he got to his room. He had to wash his mouth thoroughly as the food was very spicy.

“I will have a burger and a cup of cappuccino,” he said as he gave his order to the waiter.

He just had to eat something as his hunger pangs had intensified, as he devoured the burger, thoughts of Jessica crippled through his mind.

Vincent quickly finished his meal as he did not want to spend too much time because he knew how impatient Jessica Could be sometimes.

He entered his car and hurried over to Jessica’s, getting close to the inn, he parked his car properly and dialed Jessica’s number.

“Room number!” VinVincentquired, and immediately she picked up, after some minutes he was already at Jessica’s room door.

“Vincent,” Jessica called in a honeyed voice as she led him into the room and turned on the lights.

Vincent walked into the room and sat on one of the sofas across the bed.

“Whisky?” Jessica offered, now seated on the bed directly opposite Vincent.

“No thanks,” Vincent kindly rejected with a hint of anxiousness in his tone, he did not want to be seen with Jessica let alone be in a room alone with her.

But he didn’t have a choice since he realized lately the kind of person she was, He knew Jessica wasn’t bluffing when she announced her coming back to his house if he didn’t come and he feared her hurting Isabella in any way.

“I must say she must be a legend to have you coming to the room at this time of the night!” Jessica blurted out with mischievousness in her tone. She gave Vincent a quick gaze, letting out a subtle grin.

“The Vincent I know, wouldn’t even oblige me in his spare time but here you are in my room alone, I see you must love this Isabella of a girl and it’s making me even more curious to know who she is,”

“Leave Isabella out of this!” Vincent barked his eyes suddenly glaring with anger.

“I had begged you to come visit me just once, even for a few seconds but you had always rejected, how ironic that it didn’t take much to get you here now.” Jessica declared her voice firm.

“I am here for us to talk and after which I will be leaving for my house!” Vincent announced his voice full of authority.

“I have told you from the beginning that we are not compatible and you are not my type, I am here solely because I want you far from me for good,” Vincent said his tone elevating.

“Oh really! so I’m not woman enough for you anymore?” she asked voice rising in anger.

“I’m not interested in ladies and you know that!” he said his voice subtly noticing Jessica’s sudden anger.

“But a lady is pregnant for you!” Jessica announced staring straight at Vincent, who was unaware. “Yeah, I overheard your discussion with her.”

“Did you call me here just to accuse me?” Vincent questioned a hint of irritation in his voice as he suddenly stood in anger. “If you don’t have anything to say to me, then I will just have my leave,”

“ok, fine. I’m sorry,” Jessica apologized trying to calm Vincent down, she didn’t want this opportunity to slip away.

“Ok, I called you here to propose a contract,” Jessica said, “I have been asked to pick a male lead for my upcoming movie and I told the director I would want to act with you

,” she continued giving him a warm smile.

Vincent giving a silent chuckle knew Jessica was up to something. “What kind is movie?” he asked looking at Jessica mischievously.

“An Erotic movie, it’s going to be a steaming one and I know it would best be acted by both of us just like last time,” Jessica said a mischievous grin playing on her lips.

Vincent already knew where Jessica was headed, she wanted to get him back by all means and used a movie undercover to get his attention.

All this with Jessica had started two years ago when they were featured together on a hot romance scene and since then Jessica had been nothing but a torn in his flesh.

He studied Jessica and saw the mischievousness radiating in her eyes and the last thing he wanted was to fall into her traps.

After much thought he turned to Jessica, “It’s a very good one that you consider me a partner but I would not be featuring in any movie with you,” he announced staring at Jessica.

Jessica was surprised by his surprise, ” B- but why?” she asked looking at him. “This movie is going to be a blockbuster, why won’t want to do it? ” she added a surge of disappointment rising within her.

“Nothing really,” Vincent answered not caring about her feelings.

Vincent wasn’t one to back down from any role in fact, he could act any science perfectly as far as he put his mind to it but he knew this wouldn’t end well, and since Isabella came into his life all he wanted was to make her and his unborn child safe, especially from Jessica.

“Well then there is nothing I can do about it,” Jessica said, instantly returning to to her playful self.

“But since you have refused to act with me at least have a drink with me, ” Jessica said teasing Vincent, she poured a glass and handed it to him.

Feeling reluctant Vincent took the drink from Hanand and said to Jessica twithatthat trouble. “I hope nothing was added to this drink?” Jessica a suspicious.

Jessica let out a laugh at what Vincent had just said. “I can’t do that!” Jessica with a trail of amusement in her voice.

“You know I would be in a very big if Vincent the country’s dream man, died in my room,” she remarked.

Hearing Vincent gulped down the whole glass unknowing to him that Jessica had spiked his drink.

Audrey had waited in the sitting for Vincent to rerun but she had not seen the trace of him, she had been so eager to give a piece of her mind as she couldn’t wait the next day.

She thought of calling Isabella to ask if Vincent had returned home but she knew how smart Isabella was at picking things, and the last thing she wanted was to hurt her best friend.

Waking up to a scary migraine, Vincent couldn’t feel himself, the banging headache instantly intensified making him reach for his head.

“oh my God!” he exclaimed his voice evident with pain, as he opened his eyes he noticed the room had an unfamiliar look and quickly got up.

“where am I?” he whispered to himself now fully awake, as he looked around he suddenly remembered he had gone to see Jessica last night and the last thing he did was take the drink she had offered him.

As He tried to get up from the bed, he saw his clothes lying on the floor and quickly checked himself, and was dumbfounded to find himself stacked naked.

“Hey handsome,” Jessica said as she came out from the restroom wearing just her underwear she walked towards Vincent trying to kiss him but he quickly pushed her aside.

“What did you do to me, you sly!” Vincent barked at Jessica his eyes red shot. “What did you put in my drink?” he asked giving her a deadly stare.

“Hope you enjoyed last night,” she asked giving him a mischievous smile.

“You drugged me just to have your way with me!” Vincent affirmed his voice steady.

Jessica letting out a loud laugh replied to him. “Who would believe a woman drugging a man just to sleep with him, that just be a woman’s cue don’t you think,” she said sarcastically.

“You will never change!”Vincent said with irritation in his voice. he just couldn’t understand why Jessica was after his life.

“But why are you so desperate, you don’t even have respect for yourself!” Vincent declared as he felt a surge of anger within him.

“You are well to do and would have any man chasing after you but why can’t you just let me be ??” he asked his voice suddenly breaking with frustration.

“But I want you and not them,” Jessica snapped at Vincent in her defense.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“And that’s what you will never have!” he replied his voice steady full of authority. “You are just so cheap and I want you to understand that this never happened,” he added as got up to leave.

Walking out of her room he could not help but feel frustrated at the turn of things, this was the last thing he had thought would happen between him and Jessica.

He suddenly became worried about how Isabella would feel if she got to find out.

About entering the car, his phone suddenly beeped declaring a new message from Jessica.

“Oh my God!”Vincent exclaimed as he saw the recorded video of Jessica and him from last night.
