Chapter 195 - One Hundred And Ninety-five: Would You Dare To Shoot Me (1/2)
The third point of view
The torturous gagging noise of the woman crouching over the water closet finally ended.
Maya groaned, sitting back against the tiled wall. With a grunt, she reached for the tissue and tore off a piece which she used to wipe her mouth before tossing it into the toilet. With great effort, she rose to her feet, flushed the toilet, and walked out of the cubicle.
Slouching against the sink, she stared back at her reflection in the mirror. Gosh, she looked horrible. Her expression was pale and there was a hint of a wrinkle around her eye - Oh no, she was getting old!
Bending over, she turned the faucet, scooped water with her palms and took a big sip out of it, and held it in her mouth.
Maya tilted her head back, swishing the cold water around in her mouth and then spit it out.
After throwing up her guts in the toilet, she couldn't guarantee her breath wasn't going to stink especially considering the fact she had no breath mint with her.
Maya proceeded with that method five times before she was convinced that no one would smell a thing.
She must be sick or something, Maya thought. Else why would she recoil at the sight of her favorite spaghetti and meatballs?
After washing her face and making sure nothing was out of place, she returned to Sakuzi's table and there she again met that goddamned spaghetti.
Her hands flew to her nose to pinch it shut while gesturing to Sakuzi frantically,” Please take this animosity out of my smelling radius”
” I thought you liked it ?” Sakuzi was surprised.
”I liked it, ”Maya emphasized, ”Just take it away from my sight at the moment, please?” She implored, having known that Sakuzi easily honors all her requests attached with ”please” at the end.
”Very well then,” he conceded.
She watched him give a sign to one of the waiters who hurried to their table, clearing away the food.
”So,” Sakuzi began,” What about that proposal, why won't you date me?”
The drink spurted out of her mouth from shock. Was this a curse or what? Why was it that each time she drinks, they choose that moment to release a shocker?
”I'm sorry,” she coughed, wiping her mouth with the table napkin, ”I thought I heard wrong?”
”You didn't hear me wrong, my princess” Sakuzi confirmed for her, ”Once you agree to this request, you don't have to do anything, just spend time with me, I want to get to know you”
Yeah, only if the ”spend time and get to know you” is as innocent as you sound right now, Maya sassed in her head.
She knew all these sugar daddies, they were no different than the young, fire blooded men who were all scums. They would say one thing yet mean another and wouldn't even recall said promise when buried deep inside a woman.
”Do I really have to answer?” She gulped.
”Yes, I can't wait to get started with you.” Sakuzi was as excited as a child who just received a candle from mommy.
Fine, Maya, this was now or never, if she dies for this, so be it. She glanced up with a deep breath and said, ”I'm sorry but I can't do that”
”What?”
”Honestly, you scare me and I want to be as far as I can from your kind of lifestyle as possible. Secondly, I don't date people who are old enough to be my father…”
Sakuzi was almost tempted to say, ”You don't have to worry, I'm your father” but he bit back his words.
”I'm an upcoming actress who has more scandals than the movies she's acted in and right now, I finally have a chance to make a name for myself and I'm not going to ruin it, so you should kill me now” Maya declared.
For a moment there, Maya held her breath and had a nervous breakdown watching Sakuzi's blank look until a huge grin split his face.
”Your father must be so proud of you,” he said, lifting a drink to her.
”Trust me, that bastard doesn't deserve that privilege” Maya mumbled under her breath,” it's highly doubtable, Mother never liked me, why would the unknown father like me?”
”You never can know, try finding the man and hear his own side of the story”He advised her- inwardly hoping she does.
”Oh please, I have better things to do than to find a mysterious man that my mother does even have a clue about” Maya rolled her eyes.
The wine in Sakuzi's mouth turned bitter upon discovering that the mother of his child, Angela, has given him a bad reputation in his daughter's eyes. She'd have to answer to that later.
”But wait a minute, ”Maya recalled, ”Does this mean I won't be your sugar baby anymore?” She asked with a tinge of hope. Her heart was anticipating a positive reply while shifting uneasily in her seat.
”Oh, don't worry,” he winked at her, ”You're my baby girl, already. I'll just have to call for your company once in a while, I hope you don't mind?”
Maya was so taken aback by his pleasantness that she could only nod. What the heck did she just witness?
Sakuzi's friendly demeanor gave her the boldness to speak at last.
”Well, If you haven't killed me by then, sure, why not?” She shrugged, ”I wouldn't mind being your companion. That way, when you finally kill me, the guilt would gnaw at your heart forever”
