When she came out of the office, she wondered who was the guy who waved her before she bumped into that hard wall. He looked familiar to her memory.
Just as she was stepping towards her building for the class, she realized that it was the same guy who was checking her out yesterday. She was alarmed in pure terror. Why was that guy following her everywhere? She asked herself as anxiety started seep inside her veins. No! She has to report him if he appears again. She determined herself and took long breaths to activate her parasympathetic system. She was freaking out already and it always lead to severe panick attacks. But thank god, the inhaling and exhaling worked out and she avoided the panic attack which started to overwhelm her. She took the elevator and reached her class, which already started. She excused the teacher and sat in the last seat, exchanging some eye contacts with Nancy who was eager to ask what happened and why she got late. The class was over after an hour and Nancy rushed to her. They both went to the cafe and as usual two coffees were ordered by Nancy. She sat down with her and told her about the man she bumped into while walking to the office. "He seems scary, try to stay away as possible" She warned her. "But I'm thinking who is he? And what that creepy man is doing here in our university. He doesn't seem like some principal or a teacher " Veronica was stuck with his arrogant attitude. "Leave that shit, let me tell you a good news" Nancy made her hell curious in a minute and everything was gone from her mind in a second as she was more interested in the good news. "Guess what" Nancy wanted to make her wait till she's dying to hear. "Oh don't make me wait, I'm not good at guessing at all" Veronica was impatient at such things. " I talked to my brother and you've got the job I told you!" She exclaimed excitedly as she opened her arms to hug Veronica. The news lifted her mood at once and she couldn't believe her ears. It was the only thing which she had been worrying for since she arrived. A job! To fulfill her expenses, to buy warm clothes and save for hostel!She hugged Nancy tightly and couldn't stop herself, fighting against the tears of happiness. "Jesus! Stop crying or I'll punch you in the face!" Nancy couldn't watch her crying over a job. "These are tears of happiness" She squeal in a low voice. Nancy smiled against her shoulder and hugged her back. The rest of the day went smooth with the overflowing happiness. Nancy informed her that she will ask her brother for the joining date and then she go there. The timings were perfect from 05:00pm in the evening till 12:00am at night. But she became worried that she'll have to talk to her hostel incharge for the flexibility in curfew. If she won't get a job, then she won't be able to pay her expenses. And she really needed it. In late afternoon, when university is almost empty, she returned to library to return some books and get more books issued. She sat alone behind the large table in library and there were only few students to be seen at the moment. She was reading the novel, when her eye caught the sight of the boy whom had been stalking her since the first day. She cast him a death glare as he was already boring holes in her body. He was checking her out and licking his lips in the process. She felt extremely uncomfortable with his actions and decided to stand up for her. She got up from her place and moved towards him. The blond guy who had a grin on his face while watching her coming towards him, almost thought that she's interested. "What the fuck are you staring at for so long?" She growled in a strict manner. "Nothing, particular. Just a girl who is magnetizing me the moment I laid eyes on her" he blurt out that cheesy line which made her more enraged than before. "Then get this fucking thing in your head that I'm not interested and don't ever bother stalking me again or I'll report you" she warned in a slithering tone as much as scary she could sound. "We'll see about that, senorita" he stood up from his place and whispered close against her ear before he walked away, taking long strides towards the stairs. She huffed a sigh and went back to her table. A week passed and she experienced nothing out of place. She didn't saw that blond guy again. She talked to her hostel incharge and finally convinced her for the flexibility in curfew. She told her how she's trying to manage her studies and job at the same moment and it's not possible for her to pay the hostel fees without having a job. The hostel incharge was a kind woman, named Luna who seemed to be cold outside but had a soft heart and understanding mind. She granted her the permission. Veronica got her hands on the job and in a day she was asked to join the hotel. She was a waitress at the hotel, and she only had to serve food to the VIP and regular customers. There was also a club in the hotel which had a separate value in the whole state due to its posh interior and luxury treatment. Only rich were allowed there who had a separate entry pass. At her first day, she accidentally went to the club management for her job and then they guided her that the waitress job was offered by the hotel beside it. The hotel in which she was working was a tall building with hundreds of room and a restaurant at the front side, beside the lobby. There was a passageway from inside the hotel to the club as both were owned by the same person and were related to treat people in the same place. Every night, billionaires and spoiled kids with their girlfriends came to hotel to enjoy their dates and then they would escape to the club late at night. Whenever she took their bill, she wondered how they don't even glitch while paying thousands of dollars for some two bite food and sometimes during family visits the bill would exceed thousands. She got on well with her colleagues and the hectic routine from hostel to uni, then uni to hotel and then again back to hostel. Coffees with Nancy and late night talks with the hostel roommates were escapes for her into happiness. She was enjoying her small social circle and busy routine. It was after a month when she was asked to serve in the club as well on weekends. The staff was reduced and instead of serving in restaurant for six days, she started serving in the club on weekends. The only way she accepted this change was a bonus in her salary. They shifted her to the club because they were looking for representable females ands she met requirements. She was extremely overjoyed by the bonus in her salary even if she had to work extra. She was already imagining about saving her extra to buy herself an apartment. Although it seemed impossible but she had high hopes. It was Friday, and she was late in the library as usual. She had to complete her assignment and she had one hour left before reaching to the hotel. Veronica got up from her seat to find the reference book whose rack was placed at the end of the library. She looked around and found no students at all around. She only saw the library incharge sitting at her front desk at the beginning of the entrance. Library was built on a vast area which had so many racks of books that one at front wouldn't be able to hinder someone at the back. She reached the end of the library and started looking for the books name. Sliding fingers across the books, she read their names along. Out of the blue she felt as if someone was standing behind her, she could feel the pressure and the heat radiating from the other human body. Her hands froze and she was about to turn around when a hand came across her mouth and silenced her. The other hand came around and grabbed both of her wrists at her back. She was pushed into the rack against the books as her face turned to side, her screams muffling against the culprit's hand.When he pushed himself hard against her back, only then she realized that it was some musculine figure who was holding on her. Voice laced with seductiveness, he leaned closer to her ear and whispered."I told you senorita, I'll see about it. And I made my decision, you are too attractive to be left around. I cannot leave you without having a taste of you"She tried to kick him with her legs but they were locked against the shelf with his own. He tried to push his thigh between her legs which made her so helpless and vulnerable. He was kissing her neck while muffling her cries, caging her from all sides. Trying to hit him with her elbow, she was wriggling in his hold, resisting his touch but he was more powerful than she expected. Adding to her misery, the lights went off. After a couple of seconds it made sense to her that the only ray of hope she had that the library incharge may come and notice this harassment, faded. The library incharge already turned off the lights and left the place as she didn't saw anyone in her sight and probably it was above the time. Her guts started to churn as he disgustingly tried to rub her womanhood, sneaking his hand from behind. Her eyes swelled up with tears and she was bursting from inside. To grab her wrists while he molests her, he let go of her mouth, assuming that no one was around to hear he
The very next day she found herself in her bunk bed, counting her options while she was running out of time for university. She couldn't bring herself to leave university because the education for free was worth it. But the man coming along with it who was nowhere ready to leave her alone was scary. "What are you thinking?" Rachel yawned from the neighbour bed. "Nothing" she tried to shake off her thoughts. "Oh I know now, so tell me maybe I'll help ya" she insisted and she realised that maybe she should get advice at least. "What if there's a guy who's constantly bothering you, like claiming you? But you don't feel anything for him. But he's strong and powerful, dominating you and you can't do a thing about it" She was not good at lying so she put everything like this for her to understand her situation. "Tell him straight no! And report him to Police" Rachel beamed. "What if he's dangerous? More like the police cannot do anything." She whispered, afraid that someone will hear
As the night became dark, so did the atmosphere of club. Only neon lights and the disco ball was illuminating the dark club as the sweaty bodies of men and women grinded against each other. People were filling up inside as if there was a free party. She saw women hooking up with men and leaving the place after exchanging dirty glances with each other. Mini dresses, and hungry eyes, everything about the place made her hate it more. Her mind always wondered how people can enjoy such disgusting and crowded atmosphere?Loud music bursting her ears was the most annoying thing. Its not like she didn't enjoy music, she actually loved it but not the pop and rock one which can make your eardrums go crazy as if almost making you deaf. To her sigh, VIP area was prevented and safe from all this stuff. And as a girl, she had to serve men in the VIP area mostly. But due to her bare face and plain personality, no one ever bothered to look at her and it was the biggest satisfaction of working there
When her shift ended, she took out her bag from the locker and stuffed her uniform inside. Her eye caught the black blazer which was inside her bag for so long. And she was only waiting for the right moment to return him. She closed her bag again and headed to hostel. It was already getting late. She took the bus and reached the hostel. Although the hostel was a little far from the bus stand so she had to walk a few minutes to reach. She was walking on the silent, barren road when she found a car busting with full music on the side of the road. Some drunk boys stood by it, swaying in the air and holding the half empty bottles in their hand. As she was moving in their direction, she caught their eye. And they started making dirty signs to her. She started walking faster as if almost running. She knew what they were upto and she was very weak to protect herself. But they didn't choose to let go and started running towards her as if they were trying to catch their prey. She was star
"I've been waving my hand for a while! What caught you for so long?" Nancy immediately spoke as soon she sat down. To avoid her questions she placed the brownie box in her lap and smiled in return."What's this?" Nancy asked in confusion."It's for you, I'm sorry I didn't intended to be mean yesterday, I was not just feeling okay. And today I bought you these brownies to make it up to you" she told her truthfully."Well if that's to make it up to me then I can tolerate your sour behavior everyday!" Nancy couldn't help but laugh more as she opened the box and found the most heavenly delicious brownies inside.While Nancy drooled over brownies, Veronica's eyes were fixated on the stage although she couldn't see him now. Somewhere she was feeling that someone was watching her. She looked around herself and found no one particular.Listening to the boring seminar and enjoying brownies made three hours bearable. He could clearly figure out her turtle neck from afar. She was not that far
She packed up and left for her work. All this time her head started to hurt after overthinking all the day. Losing her scholarship or admission would be like being thrown off the cliff which would hurt her so much. She continuously cursed and blamed herself for being extra smart over efficient. If she had chosen to use this tongue wisely then she would have been at peace by now. She put the bag in the locker and changed her uniform. Thank god the uniform was dry cleaned so the stain was gone and her uniform looked clean as before. She tied her hair into a bun with the help of a single pin and she was off to the bar. Serving drinks and dealing with the drunk people was endurable because it was only for two days and most importantly extra pay for dealing with such shitty people. The bartender gave her 10 tequila shots to deliver them to a guy who sat across the wall on sofa, alone. She picked up the tray and headed towards him. After passing through the sweaty bodies, she finally r
He closed the distance between them, their breaths mingling with each other. As much as he hated getting close to her, the more it felt magnetizing. At the moment he could only think about those rosy lips in front of him, filling him with curiosity of their taste and that petite figure of hers which was so fragile that one might fear touching her. He couldn't think straight, whatever it was, it was enchanting and making him go insane. The more he wanted to pull away, the more he leaned in and just like that he sealed her trembling lips with his own. Her eyes became wide with fear as if they will pop out of her sockets. Her hands came forward against this chest to push him away. His kiss was giving her tingles from head to toe, his eyes were closed as if feeling the sensual touch inside his soul. It was her first kiss and she couldn't let a stranger devour her without her consent. She started throwing punches at his chest to push him away, but his steel like hold didn't budge a litt
The next morning when she woke up from her sleep and was yawning on her bed, she found Mina, Rachel looking at her with intimidating eyes. "What happened? Is everything alright?" She asked them with a worrisome face. " You can't ditch us today! We need you and if you don't join us on time then we'll make you pay for it" Rachel said with a mischievous smirk. "Can I get to know what this is about?" She hesitatingly questioned them with a confused face. "Today is Amelia's birthday and we are planning a surprise for her. After university, you should come with us to celebrate her birthday but the rule is don't tell her! The information is confidential" Mina climbed the bed and leaned dangerously closed to her, whispering everything in a low voice. "Okay" she barely replied, as clearly confused to how to respond to them. "Do you have any idea? Like about a restaurant or a nice place where we can celebrate?" Rachel asked her, trying to hear out her suggestions too. "Please don't be mad at me
