Why deceive me??

Chapter 69. You Are One In A Million



You are one in a million

I smiled at Mr. Cameron and asked him " Are you up to the game or we should stop while you still have a way out".

He snorted and replied, "I am not interested in this piece by the way. I just tried making you jealous but I guess I got your attention." I won this round of bidding.

The announcer finally brought out the last item for auction tonight.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final item for tonight's auction." He said and placed the item down for everyone to see.

Everyone's attention was captivated by the ring on display.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Winston Blue diamond ring known as the king of diamonds" the bidding for this piece starts at 85 million dollars the announcer said. "85.1, 85.5, 85.9, 90.1, 90.5, 90.8 " the bidding war commenced as everyone is trying to win the most priceless item of the night.

"I will go for 110 million dollars," Mr. Cameron said smiling.

Everyone frantically stopped bidding because they realized that they are not a match for him

I was imagining how his face will look like a pig head when I am done with him.

As the announcer was about to close the deal, I interjected him by also bidding for the item.

"I will go for 220 million dollars," I said.

"225 million dollars," He said.

"260.9 million dollars," I said.

"261.2 million dollars," he said.

"306.3 million dollars," I said.

Instantly he was sweating like a pig that escaped the slaughter.

I was waiting for him to bid more but he was infuriated and walked away.

I won the last and priceless item of the night as an esteemed customer and was given a golden membership card."

On my way home, I was so happy with the outcome of the night's battle for dominance and how infuriated Mr. Cameron ended up.

I was still riding when reality did on me that Ronnie, might end up rejecting the ring, necklace, and bracelet.

I made up my mind to keep the ring for a while but decided on giving her the necklace and bracelet.

I got home so late and Ronnie was already sleeping. I tipped my toe to the bathroom and washed up before going to bed.

I woke up earlier than usual because of anxiety and not long she awake with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, Sir," she said sarcastically.

"What's the Sir for?" I asked.

"Are you not my boss?" She fired back at me still smiling.

I was so elated because she wasn't angry at me for returning home late last night.

"If you call me Sir again at home, you will be fired without compensation," I said sarcastically.

"Fine, fine, fine you win this round but keep in mind that I will end up starving you if you dare fire me." She said with vigor.

I was so captivated by her beauty that I almost salivate.

I immediately came out of my fantasy world and asked her, "what are your plans for the weekend?"

"Uhm..... I plan on going shopping with my bestie later in the day." She replied.

"Oh, I see"

"How about yours?" She asked

"I will be indoors throughout this weekend just to catch a lot of rest," I said.

She smiled and stole a kiss from me and ran out of bed.

I was still in bed when she suddenly asked me, "ain't you going to wash up before breakfast?"

"You left me without a proper kiss and you expect me to go wash up," I said pretending to be hurt.

She looked at me with a smile and said, "you have less than ten minutes to join me for breakfast if not, you will move out from my bed and start sleeping on the couch."

I was still processing what she said when I heard her say eight minutes more.

I instantly rushed out of bed knowing full well how long it took me to share the same bed with her.

After breakfast, I brought out a parcel from my pocket and handed it over to her.

"What's up with you this morning Damon," she asked smiling, and took the parcel from my hand.

I was anxiously waiting to see how she would react after seeing the content inside the parcel.

Immediately she peeked inside the parcel, she couldn't contain her eagerness to bring the contents out.

"Ooooh my gosh, wowwwwww tell me it's not what I'm thinking," she said looking at me smiling.

"What are you thinking?" I asked.

"These the legendary Memory of Autumn Leaves & Dream of Autumn Leaves right?" She asked in return with a genuine interest.

"The last I checked, it's Damon's forever dream leaves," I said jokingly.

"Hahahahahahahahh you're a killjoy like seriously," she said smiling.

Before I could react to what she said, she sat on my lap and took my lips for a ride in hers.

I was both happy and fulfilled for winning the bid for this reality dream.

She broke the kiss and smiled at me before expressing herself.

"There's only two of this piece in the whole world," she said smiling.

I was speechless because I don't have any idea how many of these pieces are in circulation and their value to ladies.

I just bid for it to infuriate Mr. Cameron, but it ended up giving me an edge over any potential rival for her heart.

I smiled and asked her, "do you like it?"

"Are you just kidding me or something... I don't just like it, but I love it." She said happily.

"I intend to throw it away if you don't like it but I guess I have taste for beauties. "I said sarcastically knowing fully well she will be thrilled with my words.

To my surprise, she was staring at me before she finally said, "you're one in a billion Damon, do you know that?" She asked amidst laughter over my sarcastic remark.

I was still trying to gather my thoughts when my phone buzzed suddenly.

I looked at the caller ID just to see it was Mr. Cameron's.

I signaled Ronnie to keep quiet as I received the call and placed it on speakerphone.

"Hey, buddy,"

"Who's your buddy Damon," he snapped at me.

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Cameron, I thought it was a buddy of mine."

"Tell that to your dogs."

"Mr. Cameron, what's in for the call?" I asked sarcastically.

"Damon, you know exactly why I called don't you?"

"I'm I a psychic? to know what's in that dirty heart of yours" I replied to him more sarcastically to get him infuriated to puke out blood. "Hmmm, I see you're now grown up to challenge me, Damon,"

"Have always wanted you old fogeys to give way for revolution," I replied him.

"By the way, I didn't call to banter words with" He was still speaking when I suddenly chipped in, "you're missing me right hah hahaha,"

My eye's made contact with Ronnie who shot me a look of will you keep quiet and let finish?

I refrain from saying anything that will ruin my chance of tasting her lips again.

"You were saying?" I asked.

"Uhm. I called to ask you to sell those pieces of Autumn jewelry for double the price you obtained it" he finally opened up.

"Uhm... I'm sorry to disappoint you, Mr. Cameron, those pieces are priceless and unreachable to you and others," I replied smiling.

"Look here boy, nothing is priceless and unreachable when you have the money and connection." He snorted back.

"Wow, I never believed you're a motivational speaker Mr. Cameron, but if it will interest you to know, my woman finds a liking to the piece"

"Damon boy, are you saying you preferred to lose a hefty sum of money over a bitch,"

"Mr. Cameron, for old-time sake I will pretend I didn't hear what you just said, but the next time you would try calling my woman names, prepare for war."

I immediately hung up the call and smiled at Ronnie as if nothing happened.
