Alex Oliver had a normal life. He had a good paying job, an annoying boss who threatens to fire him almost every week, co-workers who would never mind their business, a mother who worries about his single life and annoying neighbors, just how normal can a man's life be.
"No mum, I don't have a girlfriend yet... No mum I don't know why I don't have a girlfriend." Alex day had just begun and his mother from Canada had decided to give him a call. "Well, it's not like I don't want to try, but I have a lot of things on my head mum... No, I can't list them at the moment mother. Listen, I am late for work I have to go now mum."
Jojo, his dog kept pulling at his socks, no matter how many times Alex pushed him away. "Yes mother I will keep trying. I have to go now, talk later. I love you too, take care."
"No Jojo, you can't let you play with my stockings, I need it, for work " He shook his leg pursuing his dog away, he gave a low whine and ran away to another side of the room.
"Ok, I'm going to work now Jojo, Be a good boy Mrs Beckett would be here soon," He turned to Jojo who was busy scratching the fridge door. "Ok uhmm... Love you too."
Alex parked leg peddled quickly as he was already a minute late for work, he knew his boss to be really crazy when it came to this, there weren't too many job opportunities around now, he wasn't ready to lose this.
"Good day Matthew," Alex greeted Matthew, a friend and co-worker.
"Cup Alex, grumpy is looking for you," Matthew said with a pity look.
"Really, I am not even that late, why is he-"
"Alex get your ass in here!" A voice thundered.
"Oh God," Alex murmured, dropping his bag on his seat and running towards his Boss office.
"I'll pray for you!" Matthew shouted after him.
Ross Dunn had made his money at a very young age, Alex knew that because Ross never failed to let him know everyday. He had both feet up his desk, shoes and socks off.
Alex took a gulp at the stern look he was being faced with "Good afternoon sir, how do you do today?"
"How am I doing?" He raised an eyebrow. "Come closer Alex."
"Sir?"
"Come closer," He repeated slowly. Alex took a step forward. "Closer." Another step. "Closer Alex don't make me come to you." Alex took a deep sigh and walked towards him. "Now, look at my face, tell me what you see?"
Alex actually saw a lot of things, eyebrows he found too bushy, mustard at his chin and whatever whitish substance was at his moustache. "Anger," Alex murmured.
"Louder!"
"Anger sir. I see anger."
"Good." He took his leg off his desk, standing up, he walked over to Alex. "Do you think I grew to own this business by being late?"
"No s-"
"Shut up I am not done Alex!" He thundered. "Next time you come late, you will be going down to the customer care section and you know what that means."
"Y-yes sir." Alex nodded. He dreaded the customer care. One day Ross got really angry and made Alex work in customer care for a week, let's just say Alex has learnt, not everyone is nice.
"Good, now get out. And tell Stacy to get me a doughnut and whatever liquid was contained in that cup."
"Coffee you mean sir,"
"Don't make me look stupid Alex, get out of me office!" Alex scurried away.
"How did it go?" Matthew asked.
"As usual, horrible."
As much as Alex wanted to kick his Boss' in the balls, he actually loved his job. Everyday, they got hundred of design requests, and Alex got the chance to do something he loved the most, draw. Also, it was this work that kept Alex's mind in the right order, he didn't know what he would do without it.
Three years, zero sex life, that was really taking a toll on him and masturbating most nights was getting frustrating. He needed to get a girlfriend, a partner, his pillows weren't offering as much comfort. He had broken up with Stacey, his girlfriend of two years and they had ended things in a really bad way. He thought she was a slut and she thought he had no life.
"You should join us for softball sometime," Matthew suggested.
"Sorry, I think I have something planned for today, also, someone has got to feed my dog." That's was a lie, Alex has never got anything planned most days, and Mrs Beckett was taking care of Jojo.
"Something tells me you're lying." Matthew says. Stacy came over to meet them.
"I hate my life." She sighed. "Sometimes I just want to knock his head you know? But then he would probably fire me."
"Sorry Stace," Alex offered.
"No problem, so what were you folks talking about?"
"I was asking Alex here to join us for softball, but as usual, he has got plans," Matthew told her.
"Oh, come on Alex, come with us," Stacey urged.
"Sorry guys tomorrow maybe." He looked at his watch. "Ok, I have to go, see you guys tomorrow."
"Later bro." Matthew walked away. Stacey patted his back and walked away, Alex watched them and gave a heavy sigh. It was better he stayed away, before they found out he was only a bore.

"Ok Jojo, I have decided it was time I got my life straight, because right now it's really crooked." Jojo gave a small woof, as though in agreement and climbed up the couch. "Ok, time to make a list."
He wrote on the paper in his hands
To do list
"Stop excuses and play softball." He spoke slowly, speaking with each word. "Demand a raise from Ross." He stared down at the second number. "Nah, that's probably never happening." He cancelled that. "Ok, what else? Oh, get a girlfriend." He looked at Jojo who was staring straight at him. "You're right, I can't get a girlfriend while looking like a loser, I need to change my wardrobe." He looked down at his note.
"You know what Jojo? I should join one of those dating apps. I mean, Thomas met his first wife in an app like this, I mean they divorced a year later but they had lived happily three months into their marriage, well till Judy decided Thomas dick wasn't satisfying enough." He shrugged. "But still, who knows my case may be different. Ok, that's it..." He stood up. "Enough with the self pitying, I am going to sign up now." Jojo gave an encouraging whoop. With a smile and a determined look he began till walk away, till he remembered that he needed his phone to sign up and it was still on the couch.
"Riight!" He took a turn and went back to the couch. "Ok, let's find a dating site for me Jojo." He typed it down, tapping his feet on the floor excitedly. "Wow! I never knew they were lots of dating sites like this. Cupid's match, Soulmates, Find your... You know I will just go with Cupid's match." He clicked on it.
"Log in... Sign up... Username," he gave a small laugh. "How about Big Daddy?" He glanced at Jojo. "No? Ok, A with the big dick?" Jojo shook his head and Alex took that as a no. "You're right most girls wouldn't want to date guys with that... Ok, I will just go with my name Aaaleexx... Oliver." He stretched his name as he typed it slowly, he filled out other things and as a profile pic, he uploaded the one he had taken in his uncle's yatch, it was a picture he was really proud of and the yatch should attract girls.
"Ok, that's done. Now, we wait." He kept his phone at his side, laying back with a satisfied smile. Few minutes later, a beep came from Alex phone.
Alex grabbed his phone quickly not containing his excitement. "Oh Jojo, I got my first match, and look, she's texted." He went quickly to see her Display picture, but he couldn't see her face probably because she was looking up at the sky and had huge sun glasses on, but Alex could tell she was really beautiful and the killer body she had made him even more satisfied. "Oh Jojo, this is it, I have scored. Cupid really favoured me. What's her name... Amanda Walters." A smirk slowly growed on his face. "Well, hello Amanda."
Alex found himself chatting with Amanda everytime, and even Ross couldn't bring down his high spirit. Amanda was everything he needed in a woman, she was funny, smart and had just the right amount of craziness. He hadn't seen her face fully, but he was satisfied with what he has seen, with time he would get to see her face more and if he was lucky, more than that.Alex found himself laughing so hard at some of the things said, that Jojo would get really worried and Alex would always reply with a dreamy smile. "I'm in love Jojo." Alex found himself very happy, he had heard many dating sites stories, crazy ones that sent chills to his bones. He was lucky he had found Amanda in his first try, and now he can tell his life wouldn't be so bad after all.They had been chatting for three weeks now and finally they had set a date for tomorrow. Alex had popped up the question last week, and surprisingly she had said yes. They had set a date, Alex had waited a
"Ha ha!" Matthew slammed the table laughing his ass out after Alex told him of last night's incident. "Nigga why do fuck would you leave a stranger in your living room?""I didn't know it would result to that, I just went to have a shower, and she was really hot." Alex grumbled."Oh, cause she's hot? My girlfriend is hot and even I don't trust her with my credit card. You're just lucky she only took your bike," Matthew said looking up from his computer."Oh, I don't care much about the bike, it's old and I think it's high time I got a car.""Finally, I'd say she did you a favour, when are you getting one?""Soon, I would get one, just after I have gotten my driver's license."Matthew raised an eyebrow not believing his ears. "Your driver's license? You don't have a driver's license? How old are you again?""Twenty seven, why do you ask?""Oh, no rea
Alex just realized he had been wrong when he thought nothing could spoil his day, Amanda was not who he thought she was and right now, guns were being pointed at their faces by huge tattooed men. Alex turned to look at Amanda, she looked really shaken and the fear in her eyes were evident, he wondered what sort of crime she had committed to warrant this."Get on your feets and come with us now!" The man thundered. Alex stood up hands in air, a gun was pointed straight at his chest, so it was probably best be kept shut. Amanda stood up also legs shaking as she walked alongside Alex, both taking slow steps. The men led them outside, there were three black cars outside and armed man stood beside each.Alex hoped and prayed someone would at least have sense to call the cops to come to their rescue. He really hadn't imagine his day going like this, it was like dying and expecting heaven, but then you reach the front gates to realise heaven was actually h
Amanda pulled down her gown which had ridden up, she looked down at her hands which were trembling slightly, she had just gotten this new job and this was her first order, it needed to be perfect.Taking her feel breathe, she tried to put herself under control, once her hands had reduced it shakiness she grabbed the tray containing the food and walked out of the kitchen."Tessy, who am I giving this too?" She asked the red haired behind the counter who was looking at her phone."Uh... Table six." Tessy told her without raising her head up. With a sigh Amanda walked towards the table which a young man was sitting down in."Here's your order sir," She dropped it on the table before him."I hope it's to your satisfa-""You have got to be kidding me!" The man exclaimed, dropping his magazine and slamming his head."Pardon sir?"He looked up at her."Seriously,
"We should go to the police," Alex finally said after silence had reigned for few minutes."No, not the police, they have my brother," Amanda said. "I am not going to put his life at risk."Alex sighed. "Well, what do you suggest then, those people don't look like they would stop looking for us anytime. Also..."She looked at him. "Also?""Well, if you're not the Amanda that stole from him, and the one I met earlier wasn't the one that stole from him then-""How do you know she's not the one? I know I am not the one, and if it isn't me, then that's leaves her.""She isn't the one, she can't be," Alex found himself saying."Why are you defending her? Isn't she the same person you said stole from you? If she's a thief, what stops her from being a liar?"Alex didn't speak after that."We need to find her, my brother's life is on deck a
"Oh, Las Vegas is the life!" Amanda gave a big whoop, a big grin on her face. She had just cheated some men off their money in a game, and as usual, underestimating the power of a young woman, they were too stupid to notice that she cheated. She was interrupted from her happy thought by a vibration then chime that came from her phone. With a sigh, she pulled it out, it was probably the guys worrying over her as usual. They acted all tough because of how big they were but deep down, they were just cuddly bears, she giggled at that thought.Opening her phone she saw it wasn't from the guys like she had expected, it was from that stupid dating app she had join about a month ago. She hadn't dated for awhile and since the guys scared off any guy that came close to her, she decided to try online dating, and that's where she had met Alex. The reason she had texted him was because he was really cute and he had been on a yatch that she suspected was his, but Alex turned out
Don Torento raised an eyebrow, Amanda looked away from him quickly, she wanted to slam her palm on her forehead for saying something stupid. Don Torento was looking at her like he wanted to tear her limbs to limbs, she gulped. "S—sorry, I say stupid things sometimes.""Really?" He gave a wicked smile. "Well, you also happen to do stupid things too, lots and lots of stupid things." He stood up, making Amanda to lean back in her chair when she thought he was coming to her, but he turned around and walked to the window. "Stealing from me," he gave a low laugh. "You've got some gut girl, I would give you that. But it's also your gut that would get you killled." Amanda froze as the last words left his mouth. He turned around and walked away from the window, he walked over to the seat he was in and sat down.Amanda didn't know much, but she knew she didn't want to die, she wasn't ready to die, she was just twenty five, she still had many more years to go
Amanda clicked her tongue, staring at the young man right in front of her. "You know, for someone as cute as you, it sucks that you are out of your head."He raised an eyebrow, his face spelling out confusion. He sighed and shook his head. "Would you just untie me Amanda, I have an itch and I can't scratch it," He said."Fine!" She stood up. "But if you try anything funny, I am not weak, I will burst your balls." She sent him a warning look."My balls? Why would you try to destroy a man by bursting his balls?" He asked in disbelief."What's a man without his balls," She murmured and went behind the young man. She reached down and worked her fingers through the rope tying him."So," He said as she untied him. "Are you ready to tell me what happened after I was taken?""I don't know what you're talking about psycho, if this is an act they told you to put up to
