Chapter 8


Edward stood in front of the floor to ceiling windows, in his apartment, watching the people below, walking around Canary Wharf going about their business lost in the synthesised music blaring out of their headphones. The sun warming his face, made the sweat on his skin glisten in the sunlight, the towel round his shoulders, was soaked, having just returned from a gruelling workout in the basement gym of the building.

He turned away from the window, to the bathroom to have a shower, he had a lot of paperwork and calls to make today, when his mobile rang; the name flashing on the screen was one he had not heard from in a while and could not ignore.

‘Hello’ as he listened to the person on the other end.

‘Ok, I’ll see you shortly,’ ending the call.

His leisurely day had just been interrupted; as he walked into the bathroom, he had been planning on putting some paper work in place for the business venture he was currently working on; instead he now needed to get himself over to Peckham as soon as possible, wishing he had never picked up the phone as he walked into the shower, the powerful jets relieving the aches from the intense workout he had done earlier that morning.

At 6’1 Edward was broad shouldered, with an athletic build, he worked out at least three times a week and it showed in the muscle definition of his body. His brown wavy hair was cut close to his head, a quick shave and he was ready to leave.

Ten minutes later he was in the lift taking him to the underground car park. She was there waiting for him in the corner he had parked her last night, her curves gleaming, shining, inviting admiring looks in the distance, the envy of the other sedate cars parked next to her.

He had been torn between black and grey but the grey had won out, she was a thing of beauty, the workshop in Germany had done a fantastic job on the RS8, taking her sexy sleek frame from ordinary to extraordinary, as he slid his fingers along the bumper, delicately like a lover’s caress.

Driving out of the garage, he turned left, the sultry voice of the sat nav warning him of the speed camera ahead. The call had come in early in the afternoon, giving him a relatively free rein of the roads, rather than the never ending traffic of south east London at rush hour which started once the kids finished school. The congestion zone having done nothing to ease the flow of traffic in this part of the capital.

Fiddling with a knob on the dashboard, while trying to concentrate on his driving, he wished there was a traffic jam, there were soo many knobs he needed to get acquainted with to fully appreciate this beauty.

Driving through the Limehouse tunnel, he continued on the A2 till he got to Peckham 40 minutes later, thankful when he found a parking bay right in front of the house.

Locking the car as he walked to the front door, he glanced back at the car, hoping she would still be in one piece when he got back.
He could hear movement inside the house and he hoped he did not have any customers; he liked his privacy and Baba’s customers were not the type who practiced discretion, he looked out of place in relation to Baba’s regular customers.

Edward rang the doorbell, listening for movement inside the flat as the occupant came to the door.

‘Ah, Edward, it’s you, come on in’ as he beckoned him in.

Baba, was wearing a baggy pair of jeans, his white shirt looked crisp and new. Baba who Edward guessed must be about 60 looked well and very healthy.

He had hardly aged since the last time he had seen him, he actually looked very well, business must be booming, Edward thought.

He led them into the living room; it had been redecorated from the last time Edward had been there as he looked around the room. The curtains were new, pale yellow and the carpet was now a green shade of blue. Some of the artefacts had been removed but other than that most of the living room was still the same.

‘Would you like a drink’ Baba asked, as he walked towards the kitchen.

‘I’ll have a coke if you have any’ Edward replied, it would be rude not to accept the offer.

Baba returned shortly with two cans of coke and two glasses placing them on the coffee table in front of Edward.

Baba sat opposite Edward in the living room

‘I have not seen you for a while Edward, how is your business doing’ opening his can.

‘It’s so so, Baba, I have been hit by the economic downturn, which has been hard for anyone in any business to avoid’.
‘But some bits are doing quite very well, so I can’t complain’. Edward said.

‘Good to hear that’ Baba replied

‘Let me get right to the point. We need to give her something soon, or she might get angry’ Baba said.

‘But I thought, we would not have to anything for a while’ Edward said looking a bit pensive.

‘With these things the situation changes all the time’ Baba said.

‘They like being feted and looked after, they don’t tolerate neglect and you have neglected it’ Baba continued.

‘Especially as you have that new venture you are about to go into’ staring at Edward as he took a sip of his drink.

Edward set his drink on the table a slight tremor in his hands. There was no point asking him how he knew.

‘How much time do I have?’ Edward said.

‘I can buy you some time, but you need to let me know when we can do it and we will have to take the weather and other elements into consideration’ Baba said.

‘Let me think about this and get back to you’ Edward said pulling some fluff off his suit.

‘In the meantime bring back three live chickens here tomorrow and we can use that to appease her’.

‘Is there anything else I should be aware of this time?’ Edward asked.

‘Not really, just that she wants a young girl this time’ the old man replied staring at him as he drained the rest of his drink in the glass.

So even in the western countries they have this kind of thing? I wonder if it's only blacks that patronize baba or do whites patronize him too? Edward is in trouble.
