you, me and what a pity

chapter 11

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 little. He was too immersed in tasting her soft flesh that he ignored her feeble movements. The pleasure her lips offered him made him go crazy. She tasted so f*****g good that he he didn't wanted to let those lips detach ever. He was yearning for more, so he tried to penetrate his tongue inside her mouth but she refused and tightly pressed her lips together.

His hand escaped behind her neck, fisting that messy bun which no more looked like a bun anymore. He pulled on to her hair as her scalp hurt and she bent her head her back. Taking that lower lip of hers between his teeth, he pulled on to it. Letting the blood ooze out of the small cut on her lips he took his chance when she detached her lips to hiss in pain.

Shoving his tongue inside, he tasted her essence on his tongue and he could swear nothing was more pleasurable than that kiss. Roaming inside her personal space, he took his chance to explore everything inside her. Forcefully making her tongue dance with the rhythm he created.

Beads of tears rolled down her cheeks and she shut her eyes tightly in agony. Her whole physique was on fire and nothing could calm her down except that she runs far away in a safe space where these men could no longer hunt her like a prey.

Only then he let go of her lips when his beast calmed down and he himself needed air to inhale inside his lungs.

He took notice of her expressions which were of a helpless slave who is wriggling at her master's mercy. More tears made her cheeks wet and he wiped them off with the back of his hand.

He let go of her hair and only then her head eased down and she straightened her neck. Hiccuping and sobbing uncontrollably, she didn't open her eyes in utter fear.

What a pity! She was such a musing art to him and yet he didn't notice at the first instant. He thought in bewilderment.

He grabbed her shoulders and turned her towards the door. Pressing himself against her back, he snaked his arm on her chest, holding her close to his own body.

"Remember this! From now on, no man will ever lay his hands on you except me. And don't try to run away, I'll be there wherever you'll be" he whispered huskily inside her ear, letting his lips brush against her earlobe and so does the tingles ran down her spine making her shiver in his firm hold.

With his other hand, he turned the knob of the door and opened it. Releasing her, he motioned her to go away. And she took a second to run away from the dungeon she had been stuck in.

She kept running until she crossed the casino and exited it. She went inside the club again and grabbed her bag from the locker. Changing her uniform in a haze, she didn't even spend a second to let a tear fall.

Running with stumbling feet and jelly-like legs, she took the earliest bus to her hostel.

Whatever it was, it was the worst nightmare she ever experienced. She kept telling herself and tried her best to comfort herself by wrapping her arms around her shivering physique. But nothing was in need and her fear didn't seem to go away.

She tried and tried but it was impossible for her to forget his savage kiss.

He must have avenged me for my rude words earlier! She kept blaming herself more and more until she felt her brain will stop working with the anxiousness.

Tears didn't seem to stop down either.

He was not a good man! She mistook him and now she was in danger! More and more horrible thoughts engulfed her as she sat alone in the corner seat of the bus, waiting for her destination.

She is going to quit this job! She finally told herself and wiped her tears away. She was more stronger than this. She has already suffered mental torture from her father and now this physical abuse can not break her until she gives up on herself.

Feeding herself with some motivation, she got off the bus and took quick steps towards the building.

The guard opened the door and she hurriedly went inside, heading towards her room.

She met Amelia on her way to her room who was chattering with the other girls in the hall. They called her and she waved them back, forcing a smile.

Sneaking in her bed, she waited if any girl was about to follow her inside. But when none did, she took her chance and went inside the bathroom to take a shower. She couldn't afford to see her in this condition.

She took a long shower and when she was about to apply moisturizer, she looked at her face in the mirror. Her lower lip was bruised and the mark on her neck was also not yet fainted.

She remembered how he breathed raw while kissing her brutally as if he found the most pleasure in kissing her. She shuddered at the thought and immediately got out.

Covering herself with the covet, she buried her head in the pillow. Soon after a few minutes, the girls came into the room and sat on their beds, laughing.

"Is Veronica already asleep?" Mina asked with a concerned voice as she looked at her lying figure who seemed to be in a deep sleep.

"She must have been tired, running between university and part time job" Rachel reasoned with them.

"But she didn't even had dinner! She must be hungry!" Amelia's exclamation this time.

"I think she is already asleep, so there's no use in waking her up" Rachel suggested ideally.

"Then we can place some food aside in case she wakes up in middle of night due to hunger, then she'll be able to eat something" Mina started to take out a large bar of chocolate and fruit cake from her drawer.

"That's a good idea, even though I can't sleep when I'm hungry" Amelia agreed.

Rachel took the snacks and placed them beside her pillow where there was much space and she could easily see them.

"I know you're hungry, so eat it when you'll like. Don't starve yourself, it only hurts and nothing attains" Rachel whispered close to Veronica's ear as if she knew that she was awake.

After they turned off the lights and laid in their bed, she opened her eyes slightly. Turning over, she found them all asleep. Then her eyes travelled towards the chocolate bar and cake which was just by her side.

She smiled in pain.

How much they cared for her, she couldn't ever pay their deeds. She was lucky to have such genuine friends by her side.

At the sight of food, her stomach growled and she remembered that she only had brownies with Nancy in the morning and after that she ate nothing all day.

Feeling grateful to them from the bottom of her heart, she unpacked the preserved cake and started eating it with moist eyes, feeling the sweetness too overwhelming on her taste buds.

She took a long breath and tried to forget whatever happened for a moment. She wanted to enjoy those sweet snacks for a while until darkness drags her again to reality.

The thing which bothered her was his unusual behavior and the last sentence he uttered to her.

He looked so distant and cold whenever she met him but when he kissed everything felt like as if he had been dreaming it for so long. His last words shook the soul out of her body. If he meant them then she was in great trouble because one thing she was certain of that he was filthy rich. And her mother once told her,

"Money can buy anything in this world! Happiness, love and life! Everything until god gets in the way"

She still remembered that cent of advice and it was enough to make her realize that he was determined in doing so, whatever he said.
