Slowly he turned towards Prosper.
"I'm sure you have heard of how I got this scar."
A nod from his assistant and he continued.
"I rebelled because our leader, my boss wasn't following the core values. Fear and Wealth. He created the fear but the wealth was lacking...depreciating....the hood was sinking. Our brothers, all they thought of was violence, flexing on supremacy but at night they sleep with empty bellies and the worst of us would plunder from the poor and weak amongst us.... Outside, other gangs laughed at us, and while our fear fills their hearts, our bellies remained empty. "
The room fell silent as both men stared at each other.
"And what if you become like your predecessor Sir ?...no offense, but we are steadily going down that part again."
Scarface chuckled as he picked up the bottle of wine and took a huge gulp from it, his throat bulging with each mouthful swallowed.
"Then you do what I did...kill me." He replied firmly his voice filled with conviction.
"Understood sir."
"Good....the girl didn't respond to the incense of seduction."
"Yes, the one called Adianne."
"Do you know her class or have any record of her ?" Scarface asked as he discarded the bottle, the item bouncing around with a clang!
"Not yet sir."
"Okay. She's an interesting one. But the most interesting is Golden finger."
"Golden finger? What..kind..of..name..is that ?"
Pearl asked, slightly out of breathe as she tried to keep up with his pace.
"Why are we running, is someone chasing us ?" Adianne asked.
"Time Adianne, time is."
Adianne looked at Pearl with a puzzled expression as they continued running until the trio stood in front of the dilapidated building they lived in.
The moment they got in, Pearl suddenly dragged my cheeks as I quickly voiced my discomfort.
"You didn't answer me?"
"What exactly?"
"Why did he call you Golden finger ?"
"Ohh that, it's a nickname."
"A nickname ?" Both girls simultaneously asked.
"Yeah."
Few minutes later and we were having lunch, after I had successfully narrated the story on how I acquired such nickname.
"Alright girls, let's count it. "
I took out the sack of gold from my dimensional storage and poured everything on the wooden floor. The coins hitting each other jovially as the joy in my heart kept spreading to my face.
'Money truly brings happiness.'
"We are taking eighty percent."
Suddenly the joy in my heart seized as I felt like someone suddenly blew a trumpet into my ears.
"What did you say?"
I turned to Pearl who had the cutest smile ever witnessed by a man as she shined her set of beautiful teeths that took after her name at me.
"Twenty for you, twenty for Me and twenty for Adianne."
"Okay.." I nodded my head slowly, digesting her wish for equality, meanwhile she didn't put in the work. But it didn't matter, she was my woman, and my women would always have whatever they wanted. The words of a truly lost man.
"...and the remaining forty ?"
"It goes into the upkeep of the house."
"Mhmm.."
I looked around the house, we didn't own shit. What did she want to upkeep ?
I nodded my head slowly as I watched Adianne face brighten up after hearing Pearl's ideas.
"We could buy clothes..."
"Yes girl! Shoes, makeups.."
"Yes!"
They giggled on with excitement as I looked on incredulously.
Is that the upkeep ?
I watched in amazement as both girls day dreamed of how they were going to spend the money, we or should I say I since I was the one that pulled the strings, had just defrauded from our classmates. Not only that but they were already dividing the coins into four portions while still chatting and giggling about their future expenses.
Talk about the multi tasking of female humans.
"No , no , this can't be it."
I immediately voiced out and in one swopp gathered all the coins together and sent it back into my dimensional storage.
"Baby, what's the matter?"
No girl, don't call me baby, you're gonna make a man weak to his knees.
"Nothing."
"Something wrong Papi ?" Adianne asked with a flirty gesture as I involuntary spat out my next words.
"Jesus! What have you been teaching her Pearl ?"
"Teach who ?"
"Who's Jesus ?"
"Oh forget it."
I quickly turned around and headed for the door as both girls immediately jumped to their heels to chase me.
Suddenly I turned around and caught both of them in a huge embrace.
Their muffled voices and body reactions told me they were expecting a chase and not a warm embrace.
"Girls."
Both pretty heads looked up at me, as I stared deep into their eyes.
"Trust me ."
"Okay ?"
They both nodded their head slowly, and I couldn't help but smile at the cuteness of it.
Suddenly Pearl tiptoed towards me, as her lips made a quickly ascension towards mine.
She wants a kiss ?"
I closed my eyes briefly , awaiting the joyous moment of feeling her set of plump soft flesh pressed against mine.
'Oh lovely, the evening breeze to make it more romantic'
I thought to myself as I felt the cool air rushing past me. I opened my eyes to see myself outside the basement in the yard, just standing there, with lips puckered and eyes closed.
"Huh? What happened?"
I asked to no one in particular. I began to feel myself, hoping nothing was missing.
'But I was to get something ?...ahh yes, a kiss and then this ?'
I pushed open the basement to see both girls laughing hard at me, the moment they saw my face.
"I told you it would take him a while to realise?" Adianne told Pearl while still laughing.
"I know right, I thought he would quickly remember cause he was about to get a kiss. Boys don't forget about that."
I stood at the small door, wondering what the fuck had just happened, if a trick was played on me or some spell was cast on me like some Voodoo shit.
I knew I was there , standing , waiting for a kiss.
"Cling!"
I felt a sharp ring in my ear as something in my head clicked.
I turned towards the girls with a serious face, their laughter quickly died down.
"You used your powers didn't you ?" I asked Adianne who slowly nodded her head.
Both girls stared in surprise as my face slowly morphed from that of seriousness and been stern to joy and gladness. I quickly rushed towards Adianne, taking her into my embrace and pulled her into my arms as she shrieked cutely.
"That's beautiful Adianne, that's just beautiful!"
I exclaimed in excitement as my head suddenly dipped down and I planted a soft kiss on her rosy lips. Her eyes wide open in suprise before closing to enjoy this special, lovely moment.
'All pretty girls should get a reward, don't you think ?'
