Against My Will

Episode3

SHATTERED EMOTIONS

The freezing punctured through the pores of her delicate skin as she peeked to observe the deserted street. She was the only soul wandering on the lonely street. The howling of the wind brought her eyes open.

“How did I get here? Gosh!” gazing into the dark of night. Confusion scrubbed over her face as she came to discover she was standing at her boyfriend's doorstep, Kane.

She is in several pain and needed someone to talk to.

She needed someone to talk to and share her pain. Suddenly, she remembered her boyfriend, Kane.

"I just hope he's home. He's the only one that can ease my mind now. I need to find solace in him."

Sonia breathed a sigh of relief. You can do this.” She motivates herself and lands a soft knock on Kane's metallic door. Unfortunately, no one responded. She got nervous and called his phone.

“Thank goodness he's home. Just when I thought I'd be roaming the streets alone on this lonely night. Perhaps, he could be sleeping.” Sonia said after Kane's phone rang from the inside.

She knocked again, this time harder, until Kane showed up at the door shirtless and sweating profusely.

“Hey, Sony! What a pleasant surprise. You didn't tell me you were coming to see me. What are you doing here? Sony, I wasn't expecting to see you. You should have called,”

"I just hope you don't expect me to answer such a question. No hugs, kisses? Don't you miss me, or do I require approval before coming to see my boyfriend? It's been a rough day.

I'll tell you about it when I come in.” Stunned by Kane's reaction, Sonia attempted to walk inside but was halted.

"No, this is a bad idea. Can we please have a private discussion?” Kane warded off and dragged her to the left corner.

"Hey, you're hurting me. Let me go. What the f**k is wrong with you?” she cried and nursed her arm.

"I'm sorry, but you can't be here. This isn't the right time. You should have called. You know how I hate surprise visits. Courtesy demands that you give me a call before coming. This isn't your home. You dig? You just have to go.”

"Are you walking me out of your house? That's what this is about?"

"I don't care what you call it. I just want you out of here this minute,"

"Are you hiding someone in there? I wanna go inside and see who you're with. This isn't you."

Sonia protested and attempted to force her way inside.

"Hey, stop," blocking her entrance, Kane spread his legs wide to stop her from coming in.

"I want you to leave or I'd be forced to bundle you out like a common criminal. Is that what you want?"

"Fascinating! Now I'm convinced you're nuts. Look around you, Kane. It's freaking late.

How do you expect me to go back home that night? It's not safe out there. Can't I spend the night at your place? I can't walk through that lonely path alone,”

Sonia begged. Suddenly, a strange lady strolled out from inside, wearing the shirt Sonia gifted Kane.

"Hun, what are you still doing outside? I thought you wouldn't stay long. Now come right here and give me some sugar...rh. I'm not done yet.

I want more of you."

"Who was that and why is she wearing the shirt I got you? You better start talking now before I do something crazy. She even called you hun. Kane, are you cheating on me? Am I not enough for you? I thought we were cool. I thought you loved me. Now tell her to leave immediately. I'm here now,”

Sonia interrogated.

"Go back inside. I told you to wait for me. What the f**k are you doing here?”

Kane ignored Sonia and ordered the lady back inside.

Sonia was confused and devastated. First, it was her father who forced her into an arranged marriage, and now she just bumped into her boyfriend cheating on her with another lady.

"Is that the reason you refused to let me in? Is she better than me? You weren't even picking up my calls. What have I done to you?

She wanted to cry but she tried so hard to hold her tears and pain.

I've done nothing but love you wholeheartedly. Is this how you chose to repay the 5 years we've been together? You haven't even called or texted in days. Because of that b***h? She needs to leave now.”

Sonia lost her temper and hit Kane hard on the chest as he retreated and apologized for his actions.

Kane felt bad, but was very short of words, he doesn't know what to say, but he wants to reveal the reason he has been avoiding her because he felt bad for her

“I was gonna tell you. Now you know why I've been avoiding you. I know my quietness isn't fair to you, I'm confused and trying to sort out my feelings for you". Kane speaks without remorse.

" I may need some space to think about everything. I don't know when I'll be ready to talk about it. Don't worry, I'll give you a call. But for now, you can't stay for the night.

You already saw what happened. There's nothing to hide anymore. Ew! You saved me the stress of explaining myself to you."

"Are you walking me out of your house? Where do I go from here? Can't you see how dark it is? It's 9 pm. What if I get kidnapped or r***d by some thugs out there?"

"Like I give a f**k about your well-being? I don't care what happens to you. I don't give a f**k if your organ gets harvested by thugs on your way home. I just want you out of here this minute.

"Just go out of here, I don't want to care where you want to go, I don't want to care about whatever happens to you, what I want you to do now is get out of here before a minute"

Just get your ugly-looking ass out of here. Last time I checked, you were not homeless. You've got a cubicle you call home. You'll be fine. Your time is up! Please leave immediately,”

Kane sent Sonia back to the lonely streets and shut the door before she could explain further.

"Why is life so cruel to me? Why am I being treated unjustly? What crime have I committed? I can't bear the pain anymore,”

She questioned rhetorically as her words echoed back to her ear. As she bemoaned, her father kept calling on the phone repeatedly, but she ignored his calls.

“This isn't the best time to go back home. I can't stand his presence. After what he did to me? I don't wanna see him. I need to cool off.”

She declared and retired to the lounge where she works to clear her head with a few drinks. As she walked to the bar, an ocean of tears replenished her eyes.

She tried to hide the despair hoarding her face, but she couldn't.

"A glass of tequila will be fine please!” She ordered the barman, but he refused, knowing Sonia wasn't drunk. "I can't send your orders.

We both know you're not a drunk. I don't want you to make a fool of yourself."

"You have no right to dictate how I live my life. I'm an adult and not some kid you order around. Do you get me? Be mindful of how you treat your staff. Have you forgotten I work here? I could get you fired. You know that right?”

Sonia terrorized the barman. With anxiety, he granted her wish. She took the first shot and continued until she emptied a bottle of tequila.

"You're drenching in alcohol, ma'am. You need to stop now.

I won't watch you humiliate yourself. Now this is enough.

You need to go home,”

The barman grabbed the bottle of tequila from Sonia, but she resisted and requested more. Unknown to Sonia, some strange man had been keeping an eye on her.

While the altercation got fierce, the strange man stepped in.

"You need to listen to the barman. Alcohol doesn't look good on you. Take a look at yourself.

Your eyes are slowly shutting,”

He advised Sonia and towed her outside.

"Who are you? Please get me out of here. My head hurts! Ouch!. I need to rest my head,"

Sonia placed her head on his broad chest and pleaded. Her legs couldn't stand firm on the ground. She was gradually losing her sight with her blurry vision.

With reluctance, he drove her to his apartment and took her to the guest room.

"You'd be fine when you wake up. You had too much to drink so I'll take a long time to get you off bed by tomorrow morning. Let me know if you need anything,”

He placed her on the bed and attempted to leave, but Sonia held him back and dragged him to the bed seductively.

"We shouldn't be doing this. You're drunk. I should be protecting you.

It's inappropriate. I can't take advantage of you,”

He refused Sonia's advances and looked away. She insisted and remained adamant.

"Quit the pretence already! Stop acting like a jerk. Don't you find me attractive enough to have s*x with?

I know you need this more than I do.”

Sonia starts caressing him, making moves by loosening his belt and throwing it off the side of the other mattress, looking straight into his eyes and biting her lips in the desire to feel like a woman. Sonia starts kissing him so passionately that he can't resist.

Unfortunately, he got carried away when he looked straight into her eyes. The tender touch Sonia gave him and her heart-shaped lips made him reciprocate and sniff her breath.

He grabs her succulent skin, passing his hairy hands over her thighs.. and she gasps in pleasure.

"Now this is what I desire!

Sonia moaned and firmly held the bedspread. After exploring the missionary position.

She got up from the bed and headed straight to the restroom wrapped with a bedspread. Still tipsy.

She looked straight in the mirror and saw the bigger mess her life would be in a few days to come. An arranged marriage ahead of her, being dumped by her ex-lover and a one-night stand with some random guy!
