Episode 4

“What do you mean by it’s time, Ray?” Leonard queried.

“It’s time I put the girl in her place,” Raymond said. “I had a restless night, bro. And I was thinking all dirty about this girl. I had a hard-on thinking about all the crazy things I’ll do to her.”

He smiled and walked over to the mini bar in the room. He poured himself a glass of red wine and added some ice cubes.

Leonard only nodded when Raymond asked if he would like a drink.

He took another tumbler and served Leonard. He raised his glass and Leonard joined in the toast.

He couldn’t help but noticed how devilish Raymond’s face had become and knew exactly what his friend’s thoughts were!

“Shoot straight with me, Ray. Is it Ivy, your girl you’re talking about here?” he questioned.

Raymond hissed and dropped immediately like a ball into the cushion chairs.

“Ivy was pissed off last night, bro,” he said. “Girl wanted to spend some time with me and perhaps hit some RZ’s but dude down there was cold as fuck.”

He paused and looked at Leonard who did nothing but stare at him.

“I’m talking about Ama Konto, Leo,” he said.

 “Man, I couldn’t help it. I thought about her all night and jerked off a couple of times over her image, you know.”

“Oh!” Leo said, surprised.

“Shocked?” Raymond asked.

Carefully, Leonard set his wine of glass aside and sat his friend down as he patted his back.

He clearly saw how Raymond’s face was changing and he knew he had to say something.

“Dude, it’s been like two months already. And seriously I thought you had forgotten about her, or perhaps done your thing with her already,” he said seriously

“Stop patting my back already, man,” Ray said quite harshly.

He stood up from the chair and stood akimbo behind the windows again, just like how Leonard found him when he first entered.

And that was how he saw Ama Konto and a guy walking down the school garden. And it looked to him that the guy had said something which made Ama Konto laugh.

He couldn’t help but gnash his teeth as he looked at them and felt really jealous.

Leonard noticed Ray’s fists balling up and he hit the windows a couple of times and turned to his friend with his eyes all red.

He sighed and looked up at his friend.

“You didn’t think I would do all that in a month or so right, Leo?”

“I know you, Ray. You could have even done that in days,” Leonard replied and walked over to the window.

“I have a plan, bro,” Ray said with a smile. “And you’re gonna help with that.”

“For Christ’s sake stop this already, bro!” Leo said impatiently. “Go get a bath, get dressed and I’ll personally take you to the Moan Thighs and you can fuck as many girls as you want! I want no damn part of your plans, especially with that Ama Konto chick!”

Raymond took a step back, a little surprised about what his friend had said. He looked down a bit and looked at his friend with sudden fury.

“I ain’t fucking no prostitute, dude,” he said angrily. “And you’re helping me with this plan unless you want your little secret out!”

He marched up to his friend and stood right in front of him with a little space between the two. And it looked just like a lion ready to pounce on its prey.

“That supposed to be a blackmail?” Leonard asked.

“Call it whatever you want, bro,” Raymond replied.

“Oh, stop the shit already, Ray!” he said indignantly. “And don’t you tread that path with me amigo.”

“Oh, I will, Leo. I sure damn will!” he said, looking straight in his eye. “And trust me, when this secret of yours gets out, you’ll be nothing! No money, no car, no place to lay your big fatty head, no employment! Back to zero! And you’ll be lucky if you do not spend the rest of your days in prison.”

Leonard shook his head, quite taken aback by what his friend had said. It was a secret he preferred to take to the grave.

He moved away from the window and when he was halfway through the room, he turned and came back for the wine and emptied the glass.

“You’ll not do this to me, Ray,” he said, quite slowly. “I’ve been your best friend and I have supported every damn decision of yours. You ain’t gonna sell my secret out to the world because of some pussy.”

“I sure damn will, bro,” he said and looked at his friend. “If you push me to the wall, you give me no other option but to go ahead. For now, you’ll just lie low and wait for my plan of action.”

Without another word, Leonard walked out of the room and banged the door on the way.

“I’ve been your best friend and I have supported every damn decision of yo…” Ray mimicked his friend and laughed heartily at that. “Emotional dude.”

He walked from the windows feeling already a champion and laughed heavily.

“Let’s get into action!” he said.

Episode 5

It had been almost two weeks since Raymond told Leonard about his plans for Ama Konto. Leonard had stayed low just as Raymond had instructed him.

And within these times Leonard had done a lot of thinking. Initially, he had thought of telling his secret to the headmaster and then he would resign and go into hiding.

He had put these thoughts aside immediately it came into his head knowing that he wouldn’t survive a week outside with police on his tail.

He had decided to lay low and wait for Raymond’s call of action!

***

Raymond for the past few days had gotten his perfect plan into action. He had started getting close to Ama Konto. He had started giving Ama Konto expensive gifts like watches, chains, bags, perfumes and a lot more.

Ama Konto had always thanked him in good faith for the wonderful gifts and Raymond had brushed it off saying it was nothing.

He had worked his charm on Ama Konto and she fell greatly under it. The two of them seemed inseparable and they connected wonderfully. Ama Konto spent her free times always with him and it was never a dull moment.

Ama Konto couldn’t sleep the night Raymond kissed her.

She had spent almost the day at Raymond’s office and when she had wanted to leave, he called her back, pinned her against the wall, and kissed her.

He had apologized immediately that it was a mistake and she should forgive him! She never said anything and ran out of the office.

To her, it was such a divine experience for her. For someone as handsome as Raymond to break her virgin lips meant something to her. She had wanted to grab him and kiss him more just as she always saw on television, but she felt shy and just ran away from him.

She had grown fond of him every day and she looked forward to meeting him daily.

Kimberly had suspected Raymond’s intentions, but Ama Konto had brushed the thought off with the explanation that Raymond was only looking out for her because he had promised her parents that.

For Raymond, he knew the kiss was the first step he had to take to get Ama Konto more under his spell. And it had gone perfectly as he had planned it.

And he knew that sooner or later he would put Ama Konto on a bed and enjoy every bit of her.

And he always looked forward to meeting her to charm her more!

“You’re the beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in a while, Ama,” Raymond said smilingly. “In fact, your parents should have named you Ama Beautiful.”

He stood up from the office and walked over to the three-in-one cushion chair Ama Konto sat in.

Ama laughed softly at what he had just said and her face looked so divine and beautiful.

“You have a way with words, Mr. Raymond,” Ama said shyly and rolled her eyes at him.

“We’ve talked about this already, Ama. That I’ll be Raymond to you and you’ll be Ama to me. Is that not it?” he asked gently with a sexy laugh.

He took her hands in his and rubbed them as he smiled at her. And she thought his smile was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.

He stood up and walked over to the mini bar in his office to get a drink.

“What will you take, Ama Beautiful?” he asked over the counter as he mixed his cocktail.

“Haha! You intend to keep on calling me that?” she laughed with an inner joy. “I will take something non-alcoholic.”

He had already mixed his cocktail, then he opened the small refrigerator that stood at the corner of the office and brought some apple juice.

He took a glass and added some ice cubes and served her drink and the two enjoyed it.

“So, I have seen that you put on everything I’ve bought for you, but not the chain,” he said gently. “That old chain around your neck is beautiful though.”

He paused and sipped his cocktail while Ama Konto just looked at him.

“Something to do with family history?” he asked.

“Oh, no,” she said. “It’s rather a protective chain. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” she asked.

She failed to notice the sudden change of look in Raymond’s eyes.

“Oh no… yes… yeah. I mean yeah. It’s a beautiful chain,” he said fumbled.

“My Papa gave it to me when I got admitted here! And he had warned me to put it on always because if I take it off, bad things could happen to me. And since that, it had always been with me,” she explained.

And Raymond did something quite surprising. He laughed and laughed till tears came in his eyes.

“Sorry about that dear,” he apologized.

“Why the sudden laughter? You found my story funny?” she questioned innocently.

“No, actually, but sometimes it saddens my heart when people get to be so superstitious,” he said. “No offense but I mean, look around you. It’s the twenty-first century and this shit of spirits and superstition ain’t real. Forgive my language. But you have to understand, that in this modern and technical world, spirits and superstition or whatever is archaic and shouldn’t be condoned by people, especially not the beautiful ones like you,” he explained

He looked at Ama Konto in the eye and saw how convinced she had become, and knew that if he kept on he would brainwash her completely off of her beliefs.

“I understand that your father had warned you not to put it off, but even if you do, trust me, nothing bad will happen to you,” he continued.

“I understand you perfectly, Raymond. But my Papa had warned me strictly not to take it off,” she said defensively.

And then Raymond knew he had to try harder if he wanted to get her.

“I have to go. It’s getting late and I don’t want Kim to get even more suspicious,” she said suddenly.

“Of course!” he said with a smile.

He stood up and walked her to the door. He opened the door for her and pecked her on the cheek and smiled before letting her go. He waited until she was out of sight before banging the door shut with frustration.

“Fuck!” he yelled.
