...Lorenzo.10: 0'PM.Lorenzo was in his bathroom, showering. He turned off the water and wrapped his waist with a towel. He reappeared in his room, went to his closet and opened it. He selected his black pants and white tee shirt. He took his time while wearing it. He sat down and wore his black shoes. He went and stood before the mirror as he scrutinised himself, styling his shoulder-length hair.He wanted to call Rohan to tell him that he was already on his way but he decided to see Sophie first. He walked out from his room heading straight to hers. He switched on the light as he climbed the stairs, grabbing the doorknob. He twisted but found it unlocked. He thanked the Gods and entered. He could barely see anything in the room cause it was dimly lit. The sun coming out from the shifted cotton made him get a better view of me from where he stood. Switching on the light, he got a perfect view of my lovely figure. He leaned back against the wall, smiling as he crossed his arms wh

...Sophie.After I had watched him leave, I tried forcing myself to slumber but had woken up two consecutive times within three hours. Now I stood gazing out the window, waiting for his arrival. I knew I shouldn't worry about him but I just couldn't help it.Shortly, the gate was yanked open by the gatekeeper as a familiar car drove in. Having recognized the car as his I hurriedly put on my fluffy slippers, running outside. I almost tripped over on my way as I tried to catch up with him before he would disappear into his private space never to be seen for the night again. I unlocked the front door that leads to the garage and gasped at seeing the condition he was in.What the hell, like he was totally wasted unable to stand on his own two feet if not for his friend who was assisting him. I caught a vague feature of a woman amidst the night view. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was why he was clinging onto her as his life depended on it. Ellabelle's reassuring words flew

...Sophie."No. No. Who are you? Where's this place?" The shadow kept quiet. I knew I was not alone. I knew I was being watched but my company refused to talk. It was dark, chilly and stuffy with only the sounds of the cricket keeping me company. The dimly lit atmosphere felt suffocating. I hyperventilated severally unable to catch my breath. There was no breeze coming in since the windows were locked. I gasped for air. My wrists weren't free, they were cuffed behind my back. My legs were chained to the bed. My neck was strapped with a collar as if I was some caged dog. Was the mysterious stranger who locked me in here planning on mistreating me like a dog that went astray?The situation was above me. It was one I couldn't deal with. My lips were sealed with plastic tape. I couldn't move. I couldn't call out for help with the little breath I had left but I had to try, nevertheless. I found myself screaming but it was muffled. I was slowly losing my mind. Then another shadow appe

...She pulled away, clearing her throat. "Since we're on that topic. Can you accompany me to my friend's night party?" She asked, blinking twice. It was all written on her face how she wanted my response to "I don't think that's...," I was still talking when she cut me off."I mean, he's not really my friend 'cause he once betrayed my trust but I've moved on long ago," she said, taking a sip of her drink. Trying to cover the look of hurt on her face.I sighed, crawling an inch closer to her. "Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked.She looked at me and bit her inner lips. "It's all in the past. It's just a guy I was unfortunate enough to cross roads with during my second-year semester. That was two years ago and I'm now in my finals. We fell in love at first sight like all fantasy stories begin. I thought he was my night in shining armour. My prince charming and I was his Cinderella with the missing silver shoe. Little did I know it was my own wild imagination." He huffed, continuin

...Sophie.I followed Daphne's lead as we entered the night hall. The different fluorescent lights shining all over the place were blinding. The deafening rock music fueled my senses and it was apparent that every person present there with them was in for a long show. The night vibe was killing. The party clubbers were of course, massive.Daphne held my hand like some child whom she wouldn't like to lose amidst all these crowds as we made our way, shoving people aside until we found a joint that was by far less noisy. She pushed back a chair and sat me down on it, going ahead to sit beside me. My eyes took in every little detail as it roamed around the place. We weren't the only people waiting to be attended to. There were many others and they probably had the same reason for finding peace and serenity here instead of the lively dancefloor.Before I knew it, I was already the centre of attention. Hungry men's attention as they undressed me with their lustful gazes. One of them smi
