Chapter 2 Life is Hell

"What's going on?"Oscar said, facing Dickson while the strippers bounced her ass up and down to him.

"I received a call just now" he said, shivering as he spoke.

"About what? What call? " Austin asked with a drunk face as he was nearly drunk.

"I don't know! Let me call the number back, "Dickson said".

Stands up, heads towards the dark corner of the nightclub, as he tries to control his fingers while calling the person.

"Hello?" The voice said.

Please why did you call me, did anything occur "Dickson had asked, his whole body felt like dead meat as everywhere seemed pale.

"Yes, your girlfriend had been drunk, I met her around the street side, rush now and meet her" the voice said.

"Alright, thanks mate, "Dickson said.

Nods his head, all he didn't want was another trouble around his side, he didn't fully believe in love as his past relationship had made him believe love wasn't for him.

Picks up his jacket, as he flunt his hand towards the road to get a cab, he signs over the costly cab fee but that wasn't his concern.

Some minutes, he arrived,

"Thank you!". "Dickson said, hopping out of the car, while fixing his shirt straight, he could feel his heart skipping from his chest".

Pick his phone from his pockets as he tries to call the number, while he veers his eyes around the street. Maybe he could be lucky to meet the person there.

"Are you the one, Dickson?". Someone tapped his shoulder, as he looked backward to see who it was while his phone was close to his ear as he waited for the person to pick.

"Oh! Do I know you mate?"

Dickson asked the stranger, as the young man in his middle 30's looked at him with a smile.

"You just call me now," Victor said.

He scratched his head" Oh thank Goodness!, you just saved me here, please where is she?" he asked, holding the man's hands as he looked deeply into his eyes waiting for an answer.

"She is over there!" the man said, pointing his hand over to the direction where Becky had been.

"Thank you!" Dickson said as he bows his head as a gesture, runs towards where she is as he didn't care about any car on his way.

"Becky had been lying helpless with her phone close to he, her hair mushy all over with her makeup moldy. She wore a short gown, as her white legs showed".

"What happened?" Dickson said he tried to carry her up but she struggled to refuse.

"Who are you? Why carry me? " she said, struggling from his hands, as she screamed.

"Dickson hisses as he grabs her hands, while he tries to stand her". As he knew he couldn't trust any lady, after he had loved his ex-girlfriend Brenda who he had dated for three years, she dumped him and married his colleagues, who he had been learning graphic designs with.

"Due to such a situation, he felt that ladies weren't to be trusted, what if she went outside to drink with a man, a lot of thought roaming round his mind as he tried again to lift her up, but this time she used her bag to hit his shoulder".

"Who are you, kidnapper?" Please someone help," Becky shouts, while Dickson tries to calm her down.

"I gat you!, is me Dickson". He said, immediately she recognized the voice, she lifted her head up as she could see a worried face towards her view.

"Oh you?" She said, snooze off.

Dickson lifts her up this time, as he orders a cab, a few minutes after, the cab had arrived earlier.

He lays her body at the back seat, he grabs her bag and other items she left on the road, while he hops inside the car.

"Becky deep in thought as it had been two months, since Becky had applied for a learning class of fashion styling, it was quite far from her apartment, but she didn't care as she found the place in Instagram, a very popular lady who gots a lot of review about her wonderful work". Becky knew she couldn't miss such opportunity.

"Dickson had decided to let the topic dies.

A call came in. He Picks up his phone as he spies the number.

"Hey mate,! " Dickson said, Oscar on the call.

"Yeah, will you be free today? "Oscar asked.

"Nah! I will be at the shop today, " he said.

Knowing full well today wasn't his free day.

"Alright then, will head over to Austin, take care". Oscar said as he hung up the call.

"Oscar had been having some difficulty with finding perfect matches and items to put for his tea shop, though he and Austin had planned and saved up for it.

Austin's childhood life hasn't been hell, with four siblings to care for, his parents had been his supporters but he didn't want to rely on them as he tries his best to work for his money.

This will be a good idea "Oscar had said to himself, as he knew it was an opportunity to caretake for his kid sis, he had been alone since his parents had passed away some years ago.

"He held onto Austin's house, a little girl up to 5 years, with traces of dirt on her shirt as she rushed to open the gate. The Austin's family had known Oscar for a long time, they had been childhood friends.

"Good day Sir Oscar "princess," the little girl said as she greeted her face.

"Oh my lovely sis," Oscar said as he hugged her tight.

"This is too much". Austin said, as he headed toward their direction.

"Oh! you're jealous man". Oscar said as he careless Austin hair, teasing him was what made him happy .

"You win". Austin said as he flunt his hand up. They had been so close, until some rumors heard that they were couples but in real life they were just buddies.

Becky had finished for the day, as her colleagues packed their bags to head home, it was already past eight, as she knew that going home alone wouldn't be easy, she thought.

"Do you mind if I drop you off? "A gentleman said, Becky turned her head as she met a handsome dude behind her as he stared at her.

"Oh! don't worry,". Becky sai, ,knowing fully well it wasn't going to be for free, after her boss got some deal, which made them work on more orders.

"Why can't I?" "Victor asked, furious.

"Oh alright then." Becky said as she slipped her phone inside her bag, while she pulled her skirt a little down while heading to the man's car .

"What they fuck are you doing?" An angry voice spoke behind Becky, she recognizes the voice as she turned behind.

"I can explain," she pleads. The man stares at both of them as he enters his car and drives off.

Dickson was done for the day , as he felt he could visit Becky and maybe hang out together, but this had just proved to him that all ladies are the same .
