DESTINED FOR YOU

Chapter 8: Persecution

I have a big smile on my face since I saw my love. I keep his cell phone in my heart, because my pants don't have pockets. At my departure time, I will go and take it to you, in person.

Fortunately, the hours flew by, I marked my exit and went to the back to be able to see him, this time I asked Mr. Luis about him.

-I don't think he'll come back. Do you have a relationship with that young man? the man asked me.

-Yes, we are getting to know each other, I told him, then I said goodbye.

I left on the way home thinking about him, he left with such urgency that he forgot his cell phone, if I had one of these cell phones that is worth the same as a house, I would take care of it like my life. That's why I decide to wait a little longer, something that doesn't bother me at all, because I want to see it.

An hour passed and there was no sign of him, I was walking towards the bus stop, somewhat embarrassed.

I looked up and saw two men in a black car with tinted windows, they were driving slowly, with a very suspicious attitude that made me uncomfortable.

As the car moved forward it did too, it couldn't be a simple coincidence, then one of them pointed at me...

ME?, OH NO!, they are going to rob me.

-It's her, I heard and my heart began to beat at high speed.

What do I do? I look for the pepper spray in my bag, but it is so loaded and with my nerves I can't find it. I looked up and quickly recognized them.

Fear filled me when I discovered who they were, they were the same men who tried to hit my love Gabriel at the party. Without thinking twice I started running at full speed.

In this moment of desperation, the first thing I thought of calling was my friend Ashley so they could pick me up while I ran in desperation.

A few meters away I see a service station, I'll be safe there, I told myself and quickened my pace, but they don't give up.

-Do you remember us?, asked one of them. In desperation I started running towards the station and they started accelerating the car. In a maneuver they cut me off, my heart was beating at high speed and although I intended to continue running, I couldn't escape so easily.

I put my hand back in my bag, praying to God that my pepper spray would appear, that would buy me time. They both get out of the car and one of them gets dangerously close to me. I took my bottle and tried to splash it on his face but he stopped me with his hand.

-Not this time, he tells me while the other approaches me.

-We've come to look for something that doesn't belong to you... I didn't let him finish and I hit her crotch hard and ran towards Ashley's car, which was entering the parking lot.

-Damn witch! he shouted at me.

-Go to hell, I yelled at him and got into the car.

They messed with the wrong girl, I would never sit back and wait for those guys to abuse me. They will never touch a single hair of mine.

Ashley asked me what had happened, she even asked if she wanted me to call the police and I denied.

I don't want my love to get into trouble, I know how to defend myself very well. After this, I don't think they'll dare lay a hand on me.

They invited me to have a couple of drinks, it would have been a great idea but, not the time. I need every penny I have, I know she doesn't have needs because her family is upper class, she doesn't even need to work, but I do.

Finally we got home, they left me at the door and left. I look for the keys in the magic bag I have, and a loud sound makes me jump with fright.

An unknown number was calling Gabriel. What should I do? And if he answered and then Gabriel got upset... Anyway, I didn't answer.

I opened the door to my apartment, after that I headed to the shower to relax my body. I know that it is bad to check someone else's cell phone, even if I really want to, I won't be able to do it.

In the morning I got a big scare when I heard someone knocking sharply on the door.

I approach the door very upset, and I see that it is Mr. Rosales with his family. He told me that he's going to leave a couple things behind. It seemed very disrespectful to see him enter without permission, and I let him know.

-I am paying for this place, you have no right to invade my privacy.

-This place belongs to me, you should have vacated by now. You haven't paid this month yet, dear, you lost your right there.

It bothered me so much to hear that, he is rude, I asked him to leave.

-Let me remind you, that you are only here because of my wife's compassion, when you arrived you didn't even have a formal job. You are ungrateful, by tomorrow I want this place empty, otherwise we will talk in other terms.

I closed the door in his face, at that moment anger invaded me and I couldn't help but cry. He looked at the time and I have to go...

I took a cold shower and ran to the bus stop to go to my new job.

Now I'm in trouble, because I'm about to be on the street.

With watery eyes, I arrived at work, I am very worried. I'll try to finish everything in time to start the search.

On the way out I almost died of a heart attack when I saw the owner enter, she is not supposed to see us. Desperation overcame me and I hid behind a bush as if I were a thief. WHAT A SHAME!

She looked at who enters next to her and it's my love...

What do I do?...Mmm, she must need her cell phone for sure.

I stayed at the exit of the garage, according to one of the employees, he is about to leave again.

Here it comes, I jumped for joy.

-Gabriel, I shouted and automatically her heavenly eyes landed on me.

-Go up, she ordered me.

He's going to take meeeee! I love him!
