His neck snapped. The good news, he wasn’t hallucinating. Bad news, Theo was about to do some stupid shit. His feet marched towards them and his hands pulled June up from a crouched position. Piece of shit. Telling her to pick up the broken glasses from his shoe. He fisted his hand in rageHe brought out his black card and shoved it into Theo’s chest. “Buy a new suit and shoes. It’s on me.“ “Who did you think you are?” Theo said angrily. But He didn’t give a two-shit. He was as angry too. “This is what you wanted. A new one. Buy three pairs if you want.” Theo looked at him. Dumbfounded. He didn’t wait for the shock to wear off Theo. He dragged June across the hall, up rounded stairs to and into a small room. The hall was owned by his mother so he wasn’t trespassing. He shut the door behind them, let go of June’s wrist, and turned around before asking, “Are you okay?”“Are you insane?” She bawled. He ignored her. His eyes roamed around her body looking for any marks or bruises.
She ruffled her hand through her hair when she heard the door shut behind Ollie. Already regretting her decision, The way she asked how much he’d pay her made worms crawl on her skin. The desperation in her voice made her shrink with shame. But that was how desperate she was. Over the week, she tried her best to take on any part-time jobs she could get—including this— in good faith that maybe it would sum to something. She knew it wouldn’t be much. But a girl could dream. She’d tried to get in contact with John. But, it was as if he’d been erased from existence. It wasn’t surprising. It was a vicious cycle. He would cause trouble and disappear for as long as the problem persists. Then he would show up after she had resolved it. But, this was different. How was she supposed to resolve fucking five hundred thousand dollars? Why would he do this to her and the twins? Still, it felt wrong, taking up Ollie’s proposal was all shades of wrong. She scrambled to her feet. She should l
June inhaled and exhaled before pacing to the short wrought iron gate that barricaded a white beige building.It slid open before she got the chance to press the button She halted at her feet, looking around to see if she was being watched. After what felt like two minutes of lurking through the placid environment, she footed into the compound. Her whiff cut at the enthrallment. Well-trimmed fragrant flowers adorned the porch. A small swimming pool on one side and an open garage housing two black Rolls Royce and a Benz on the other side.It was minimal, neat, and poise. It gave off a different aura from Ollie’s style which was sleek and dark. Blossomy scent gratified her nostril as she strolled to the door, easing the nerve-wrack cob webbing her.Stopping at the double door, she blew out a stream of air. Indecision pried her when she held up her hand to knock. It wasn’t too late for her to leave and think it through. She slanted her head backward. Was she doing the right thing?
How come she didn’t hear me when he entered the room? For the longest time, they heard each other’s gaze. Were they in some kind of competition? Why wasn’t he looking away? Should she look away? If she did look away would she be a loser? The silence lengthened between the making her uncomfortable. Her heart pounded in her ear under his darkened scrutiny. Blood gushed into her brain as all the nervousness came back to grip her. If this was to make her nervous, then it was working. Giving in, she blinked away and spoke in a reasonable voice she could muster. “How long have been standing there?” “A while ago.” He shrugged, grinning briefly with no trace of his former animosity. Was he bipolar? How could he switch from that to this in a breath? “I see.” It came as a coerced whisper. “You don’t have to be nervous.” He folded his arm around his chest, leaning back into the wall. She blurted out without much thought, letting out a panicked laugh. “I’m not. Why will I be? I’m defin
On her way, she’d gone through hundred of ways this night could go.And it had filled her with both dread and anticipation, colliding her heart against her ribcage with anxiety and eagerness. Her inside swirling with frenzy and jittery. Opposite spectrum of emotions girdling her. She got to Ollie’s house at exactly forty five minutes past seven. As much as she wanted to be a defiant, she didn’t want to know what he would do if she came a minute late. Since he emphasized so much on promptness. She was welcomed by Anna’s genial smile. But even her smile wasn’t able to calm her erratic heartbeat. Anna escorted to a dimly lit expanse bedroom where she told her to wait for Ollie and he would be here with her shortly which made her snort because she had expected him to be sitting waiting for her since he was so pent about coming early. Guess he was all mouth. She let out an abrupt puff when Anna exited the room. A brief solace showering her—owing to Ollie not being around yet— as sh
June snapped awake to her heart pounding and mind empty. It was as if a pile of adrenaline was dumped into her system. She cupped her head and squeezed her eyes, steadying her breathing rate. She slowly open her eyelids to the chandelier lights hung above her. She wrinkled her nose as she took in the unfamiliar surroundings she was in. Gray painting on the wall. Two wooden doors were directly opposite where she was. Space spread across the room. And an oak floor. This wasn’t her room so where the hell was she? June jolted up and whined at the sudden ache forming in her head. Her brain spiraled with no recollection of what she was doing here. Or how she got here in the first place. She looked around the room, stopping her gaze to pay attention to the summer landscape artwork that was hung behind her. She was in Ollie’s house. As the memory of last night flooded her brain, June wished she could go back to the last few minutes when she remembered nothing of last night. Last night p
“So let me get your story straight,” Max said. “You had sex with a girl not knowing she was a virgin and you feel guilty about it so you want to rid yourself of the guilt.” That wasn’t how Ollie worded it but Max was still in line. “That’s another way to put it.”Max dropped his golf stick, sinking into the chair opposite him as he rubbed on the stumble on his jaw as if confused. “How did you not know she was a virgin? How did you not know you were having sex with a virgin? I’m surely slipping it in wasn’t easy?” Max bombarded him with questions.” Wait didn’t she tell you?” Ollie was in over his head that night so he hadn’t noticed until June fainted. Ollie shifted with uneasiness. Discussing this with his friend was weird but he needed to know what to do to right the wrong if it could be corrected. The guilt had him in a chokehold. It rattled him.“One question at a time,” Ollie said. Max twisted open the cap of the bottled water lying between them. “I have a lot of questions “
June walked wearily down the street, still waiting for the guilt of losing her virginity to hit her. Not that she didn’t feel any hint of shame but she had expected self loathe to hit her like a hurricane. She’d thought she would have to cry herself to sleep after. Instead, It only left her an empty hollow in her chest. The indifference she felt inside her scared her after years of trying to prove a point so much she built her personality around it. It took a huge space in her lungs for so long she was finally about to breath after letting it go—though she would have wanted to lose it differently—. Understanding dawned on her that without it she was still who she was. And she was nothing like her mother. God knew, she had a long list of why she and her mother were polar opposite. Shitty thing to do but she would go miles to feel better about herself for ones in her life. June wasn’t perfect but she was never her mother. They were two sides of a coin. At least, one thing she was su
