Chapter 24Let's Play A GameIris panicked ‘I did not even fulfill my commitment with my customer and who is the guy who was taking my name?’ she was confused ‘my ex customer, no he did not call for Rosie if I remember but no one knows me in that street.’"Feeling okay?" a masculine voice called.She pulled her sheet to cover her body, not wanting to move out of the comfort of the thick foamy bed and warm covers and the room was still very chilled.She tried to remember the blue black eyes, cropped dark brown hair, tall very tall and perfect macho's body toned and covered with a sporty tight fit gray t shirt and sleeves folded into folds showing his elbow muscles not natural but formed after immense workout.She realized she'd been staring too hard so averted her gaze"Do I know you?" she asked "you seem recognizable." She was blabbering suddenly nervous "I mean you don't look like a stranger, neither ..." she bit her tongue not wanting to continue"Coffee." He chuckled and handed her
Chapter 25Chores Of LifeEdwin continued laughing "You soiled, no shit in your panties"He had tears in his eyes. After ages he was laughing so hard."The strong girl sitting in front of me shit in her panties." He repeated."I told you, first day of school, I was nervous and I was so very small." She said hitting him playfully, fully embarrassed and blushed but she didn't mind though. They were getting comfortable with each other."Your turn now." She said pulling his phone and trying to jiggle the dices."It's below 7 for me now." She said and continued like a kid. One could never judge she's the same girl who minutes ago had no intentions to play and was sickeningly worried about the operation thing that she had no control over."No I want less than 7. You roll and the call is of opponent." He said to which she agreed wherein there was no such rule.Edwin was simply saying it and bet her innocence she accepted it honestly."Yeah! 5 and 3. I win. Now you got to take the penalty."
Chapter 26Humiliation!Iris never felt so good and special in her life.Edwin’s touch and looks made her feel alive.His compliments made her believe that she wasn’t only a bitchy whore but a human who deserves an equal amount of respect. He did not touch her for lust or pleasure. He touched to assure her that everything will be fine. The warmth it gave was like her mom hugging her when she was 7 year old and returned home after she lost in a fancy dress competition at school. Immediately after the hug she felt that the competition was nothing in front of her mom's warm embrace. She had déjà vu feelings when he hugged her."Remember we all are good in some special ways and we deserve to be loved too." Edwin had commented when she was about to leaveShe hated to leave her father and go for work; the routine one which was as casual as going to office and working but with a difference. She was now adapted to Jason's harshness and since she was feeling physically healthy today she w
Chapter 27Happiness-A Myth Iris wasn't; neither did she want to be a social person especially not for her classmates from college. She had managed to be a reserve, introvert not at all communicative in her classes.Her confidence was all time low for the kind of low jobs she did. Away from crowd and no revealing is what she had started believing. She wanted to do nothing with this guy BenSo wherever he was wasn’t a matter of her concern.She brushed off the unpleasant thought and decided to handle bigger things of her lifeShe rushed to the waiting room where Edwin was sitting fiddling with his mobile and playing some games if she was not mistaken. "You are early?" Edwin asked and looked at her cheerfully. Immediately his face dropped as he looked at her. He could see the memories of the evening being recapped on her face."You look bored" Iris commented noticing him sitting alone at the waiting area."I am fine" Edwin smiled "The doctors are working continuously because the g
Chapter 28Doom Before The DawnBen, Iris noticed had a beautiful smile with tiny dents on his cheeks that any teenage girl would have loved.If she agreed to have liked it, it would be an understatement.She returned his smile with hers and he winked. She felt elated at the exchange and was now focusing well on the lecture. Another paper ball hit her after some time. This time it was a pink colored paper ball which she couldn't ignore. She opened it to see that it was a message from Ben "You have a beautiful smile" it readShe couldn't help blushing. If she got to see herself in the mirror her cheeks would have been red by now. This was such a lovely feeling that she had never expected. She always tried to be aloof from her classmates in the class. Even if anybody tried she gave them a cold glare and never missed classes to move out, a complete nerd types. This was a major step and she did like it. Another ball hit her. But teacher caught it right then and kicked them out of
Chapter 29Human TraffickingEdwin was getting restless with the passing time, not having heard about the progress of Iris's dad. He was waiting for a call from Iris or at least a text from her notifying that the operation was a major success and stuff like that. He was actually expecting to hear her cheerful voice from the other end. He was fiddling with his phone when Stella came and rested on his lap.Being home late last night he woke up late in the morning and the moment he woke up he was keen to know about the surgery.Damn! Iris had taken a promise, not to call her or text her regarding the same. She promised "I'll do it on her own. I beg please don't call me"But he cannot blame her since she's been spinning around her work, her studies, hospital, brother that silly f**king bas***d who hit her. Her forgetting to call was quite normal. Stella kissed him hard and he immediately kissed her back with full intensity. Her touch had that effect that he'd forget everything in the
Chapter 30The WrestleIris watched the crowded place in awe.This wrestle although was a little different. There were crazy people around. Most of them had tattoos on them. They were shrieking and yelling and cheering their favorites. Since it was an adult's only boxing club all the people were aged 18 to around 40's. Few of them looked a little older but each of them was excited.Two guys were hovering around the strands murmuring something and also taking money from the people there. Iris realised that they were collecting the money for the bet.Ben held her from her tiny waist like one does to his girlfriend. To say she did not like it would be wrong because she was blushed pink for the first time in her life. He introduced her " meet my friend Thomas" they shook hands as he introduced "Iris, my friend and would be girlfriend" he winked.Iris simply blushed wondering why she wasn’t denying Ben.She knew in her heart that this was a horrible idea.Thomas was a lean guy and he me
Chapter 31Harsh TimesEdwin is struggling to manage his work-life balance..His lawyers and advisors were asking to add a new diversion in the field for investment and tax conserving purposes and Stella on the other hand was showing so much of mood swings these days that he wondered if everything was fine with her.One moment she is so romantic and sexy, not to forget horny too but on next moment she is so lost sad and quiet that he'd get scared. He even talked to Iris about it. He didn't want to bother her but have but he could not restraint himself. He had to.She was like glue who'd sticks pieces of his shattered life together. He had profoundly gotten close to her. He texted her daily and though she ignored them initially, lately she'd give up and reply. Most of the times however they discuss about Stella or Iris's dad otherwise they were simple forwarded messages and she replied most of them with smiley emojisHe was also chalking out ways to remove Iris from her sucking b
