CHAPTER 4
“Welcome to Canada, Mr. Long” the airport attendee said as we got down from the plane, I nodded at her and kept moving with my head bent low.
I was still Anthony Long and I didn’t want anyone to associate me with this kid when I finally changed my name.
The actual truth was I had already changed my name and even my scholarship was in my new name, but I had an appointment in the court to finalize the whole process.
But all that will come after an aggressive shopping, that was not actually on my list of things to do but after Jack gave me his card I decided that I will have a new look to go with the new name.
So first of all to the hotel, then to the shopping mall and finally to the dentist, then by tomorrow I can see the judge for the final clearance.
I smiled as I flagged down a taxi and then frowned when he looked at me weird and zoomed off, I was trying to wonder what was wrong with Canada when I remembered I smiled and immediately my itinerary changed, the dentist first.
“Sir, you don’t have an appointment I can’t book you in, worse it’s impossible to get a teeth surgery on the same day you come for your appointment”, the receptionist of this dentist said.
I finally got to the dentist’s and the receptionist and I have been going at each other for some time now.
“I don’t mind, just put a call through, this is really important for me, call the dentist”, I insist, a second away from bursting through the doors.
“Look sir, there’s a whole process we follow here and_”
“Damn it, it’s important for me, I can’t have people seeing me like this and you’re making it real hard_”
“How can I help you sir?” I turned to see the person who stopped my rant, well it was a typical dentist if I have ever found one.
“I’m Luca Gaudion, sir” I said as I stretch my hands to his.
He nods and takes my hand in a firm shake, “I didn’t think you were from around here”, he says.
“Well I haven’t been here till I was small but I finally came back home since my uncle William sent an invite” I said.
Throwing out William’s name was impromptu, but at the last moment I remembered that this was Canada and if in other parts of the world his name moved people faster, how much more in Canada.
“Williams, you say?” he said rearranging his eyeglass and puffing out his chest.
“Well yes, the one and only”, I say standing straighter too.
“Well come in and tell me how I can help you”, he said leading the way to his office.
Well well, I just found my magic word, “what would you like?” the dentist asked.
“To get my teeth done at the soonest”
“Oh not that, I meant something to drink or eat” he says as he moves behind his desk.
“Well, nothing to eat, just fix this scary shit”, I say and he eyes me speculatively.
“Well you should sit over here”, he points to a bed with a weird light above it, and I move to it.
He puts on the light as I sit under and he looks into my mouth and then writes on a pad beside him, when do you want to be operated on ?” he asks.
“Today”, I say as I swallow some spit and breathe in.
“That will be too early, we need to give you drugs and injections and prep you for it, its really painful, it might take a month or more to recover fully and you will still have to wear braces”
I jump up and stare at him, “Braces?” I shout.
“Well, yes, it’s a delicate thing and it takes time to heal”, he says.
“Well, start already then, the faster the better”, I say becoming impatient.
“Well a schedule will be forwarded to you Mr. Gaudion”, the dentist says as he pulls off his gloves and I start to stalk out.
“Pay a deposit sir and make it tangible” he calls after me.
“I see you met the doctor, sir” the receptionist says standing up, “well now you have to pay a deposit, lets till see if you’re still related to Williams after you pay” she says.
I smirk at her and remove the black card and pass it to her with all the arrogance I can muster, she inhales quite shocked and lowers her eyes as she takes it.
After payment and making the necessary registrations, I walk into the busy roads and flag down another taxi, I enter and open my mouth to give him one of the popular hotels, but I shut my mouth, imagine them seeing my teeth, they can never un-see that shit and I didn’t need that kind of impression.
“I’m new in town, somewhere cheap should be good”, I say instead.
And after some minutes we arrive at this rundown excuse of a motel and I gasp, “Not here”
“Well you said cheap, it’s pretty cheap here”, he says coming down and pulling my door open, “Come down, I would hate to drag you out”, he rudely says.
“Well I’ve changed my mind, looks like I will be going to the Hotel William Gray” I say readjusting on the seat.
I look up as the driver bursts out laughing, “And who will be letting you in there, that’s one of the most expensive places we have in Canada”, he looks at me again like he is really seeing me for the first time, “don’t make me burn the fuel, I will need my payment for this trip before I embark on that journey”, he says stubbornly.
“There won’t be any tips for you sir”, I say handing him over the exact amount with no change added in.
“All I hear is poor”, he says as he enters and reverses out.
In some minutes and lots of cussing and insults we finally get to the hotel, I get down and pass the driver his money before I attempt to walk in.
“Sir, we don’t give out alms here, would you like to move ahead”, a decorated guard calls.
I turn with a growl, “How dare you assume I came for alms in here, what’s it with Canadians and the assumption that every person who isn’t dressed well is poor or a beggar”, I say as I walk into the hotel, I should have shopped first, and then gotten a car while I was at it but there will be time for all that later, I still have 7 months before I have to start school and impress the hell out of Williams Smith.
 
CHAPTER 6“We will be numbing your teeth by inserting this injection, sir, so just sit back and breathe in”, the dentist says as he brings an injection to my insert in my gums.It’s been a week in Canada and I have had extreme fun, the only downside is not being able to find out a single information about this daughter of William, everyone seems to know he has a daughter but nothing else, not a name, not an age or even where she is at the moment, it was frustrating and annoying but at least I’ve had Emelia and she has been a very good teacher in all things sexual, she even took me to see the sights on a day she faked illness for a sick leave and I had a great time.And I had to lie about my appointment today because by no means no one was to know my weakness, I’ve hidden the fact that my teeth was bad but I didn’t know how to act during my recovery, I had to find a reason to stop seeing her till I was healed a
CHAPTER 7“We welcome all of you to the tour of our prestigious school”, the guide says through a microphone and her voice booms through the halls.It’s been 2 weeks since I had my teeth changed and the pain has lessened considerably but I was still on a liquid only diet and I still gurgle with salt and water, most of the wounds have healed and I could talk without feeling like I was walking on hot coals, generally I felt better and the braces will be put on next week but I got a mail earlier this week that the school would be holding a first tour for people that were handy at the moment and I decided to buy one set of clothing and attend.That was why I was here on a hot Friday afternoon, in the midst of like a thousand people listening to the tour guide telling us about Gold University, Canada.“And for you our special intake we have a special guest, the one and only William Smith”, she screams and my heart
CHAPTER 8A week later and I’m still thinking of Emberlynn Smith and how I should treat the case, at first thought I was going to ignore her existence but right now it is no longer an option because I sat to think of what daughter wouldn’t care if someone is a threat to her father and there were only to available options where she was concerned, kill her or love her, and there was no way I was hard enough to kill her with all those guard around her it will be close to impossible to kill her even if it was a hired killer.I walk into the dentist’s and I raise my hand to wave at the receptionist as I pass straight into the dentist’s office, I’m five minutes late already.“Good morning Luca”, the dentists says with a smile, “Are you ready for your braces?” he asks.I nod absentmindedly and my mind travels to a certain daughter and I begin to wonder how hard it will be to fall in love with
CHAPTER 9“I even have to shop for you now”, Emilia grumbles as we walk into the shopping mall, “I’m taking this motherhood thing to a different level”, she sighs.“I promise to buy you pretty things and also do pretty bad things to you later”, I whisper as I bite her ears and she shivers.“Well, with all these promises I can see the good in becoming your mother”, she says using her hands to make quotation marks around the word mother.It’s been a few months since we had the ‘age’ discussion and since then Emilia hadn’t let it go, well except when we were having sex which was getting more often, I had run out of condom more than ten times and I do buy in bulk.Finally today I got her out of bed to do shopping with me in her free time since school was set to resume soon, I was to get a car too but after a while I realized it might be too extreme so a motor
CHAPTER 10I put the last cloth into my box and sigh, today I was officially moving to a house near the school, according to them tomorrow would be the first day of resumption, the only thing still pushing me to actually go on with this was the fact that I had to have that power that William sat on and that I got to see Aria everyday now.I smiled as I thought of Aria, at first what I wanted from her was all knacks but getting to know her had been eye opening and like a breath of fresh air.She loved to draw and she was actually going in for an art major, when she told me she had a whole dream of why she chose arts, so I felt really ashamed when she asked my major and I said business, but when she asked of the why, all that came to my mind was power.But I recovered when she said one of her turn on was power, I felt like I had found my soul mate, she would just have to wait a while before we had our happily ever, a long time really becaus
CHAPTER 11“I’m not going for the orientation Aria, it’ll just be like the tour, where they pull down some and lift some and it would also be a forum for sorority houses to put in their nets”, I grumble as Aria ties to convince me to attend the orientation.Its been a week since we moved in, or rather I moved in and Aria has been here every other day, she insisted on getting her room in the hostel like a good kid, but she ended up here every day, it was a good thing for me since we had to share the bed whenever she came over.And yes, nothing ever happens, I respect her and I want whatever happening to be more than the shit with Emilia.Speaking of, Emilia had been one of the thorns in my flesh in this past week, when she was taken to the hospital and stitched, the management questioned her and she said I was responsible for the cut, which wasn’t a lie, but there was no way I would admit that ever.Any
CHAPTER 12“This place is super crowded”, Aria says pushing into me to avoid the guys hollering at the edges of the hall.At all corner there was a different group.“You think the orientation is over already”, she asks shouting right into my ear since the crowd was deafening, “Or maybe they haven’t even begun” she says.“I really doubt it, it looks like its sorority picking time”, I say with disgust and she glares at me.“Try saying it without disgust Luca, or _” she gets cut off by someone calling my name or maybe it’s just another person with the same name as mine that is been called.“Gaudion”, I hear and we both turn, that is definitely me, I scan the crowd behind us and don’t see anyone who might have called out my name.“Making friends already? You're smooth”, Aria says poking at my sides and I grin at her and w
