My Possessive Triplets

Entrapment

Macey

As if planned, the three pairs of eyes connected with mine and time seemed to stop.

I stared at them with worship from how gorgeous they were.

I have always been a sucker for beautiful things and the men approaching were Greek gods coming straight out of my deepest fantasies.

“You are drooling,” Linda whispered in my ears, pulling me harshly from my trance. My palm moved quickly to wipe my mouth only to have Linda burst to giggles.

“ Gotcha!” She laughed, making me glare at her.

Damn! She fooled me.

Deciding to steer my eyes clear from them, I looked down, choosing to look at my food whose aesthetics paled compared to the three.

They must have been triplets since they looked so identical in everything that it was hard to tell them apart.

“Jariel, wait for me,” someone shouted and that had me turning to look only to be welcomed by that annoying woman's face.

“Who is she?” I whispered to Linda and she snorted.

“Some self centred and annoying b***h who thinks the world revolves around her,” she replied.

I could tell from her tone that she didn't like the woman.

Well, I didn't like her too, not after the disturbing words she vomited to me earlier.

The man didn't seem too pleased to see her and even shrugged her when she hooked her hands on his.

That had me smiling inwardly for some reason.

Pleased to see her look embarrassed, I went back to digging on my food when the chair next to me was pulled and a sweet scent of mint and Jasmine wafted into my nose making me almost moan.

It was so relaxing and cool.

Looking besides me, I almost choked on my food when two of the gorgeous men sat there, right next to me as if it was the most natural thing to do.

As if on cue, the other sat on my other side, sandwiching me between them.

The murmurs died down and I could feel countless pairs of eyes looking at me.

I also felt a malicious gaze directed my way and turning to look at the side, I wasn't mistaken.

The lady from earlier was glaring at me like I was her mortal enemy she wished she could strangle to death.

The air at the table turned awkward, well, except for Linda who had a big smile on her face making me wonder what was funny.

The guys didn't say a word and as much as I was itching to ask them why share our table when there were other unoccupied ones, I chose to keep my mouth shut.

After lunch, Linda and I headed to the next class which we shared.

When evening came, I bid Linda goodbye and walked to the gate where my aunt was waiting for me.

I caught sight of her looking behind me, prompting me to turn around and meet the faces of the triplets.

She smiled at them and they waved at her.

If I didn't know better, I swear I would have sworn that they were looking at me.

“How was your first day at school?” My aunt asked immediately we drove off.

I shrugged.

“It was fine,'' I replied honestly.

The lectures were fine and the people were friendly too, except for that annoying fly.

But I wasn't going to whine to my aunt about that.

“Just fine?” She asked and I nodded.

To me, it was fine. A normal school day.

“Oh yeah, I made a new friend. Her name is Linda,” I added, a smile blooming on my face just thinking about that ball of energy.

“What about the triplets? They were watching you when I picked you up?” My aunt asked with this sly smirk making me frown.

“What?” I asked and she giggled.

“Seems like someone already captured three hearts on her first day at school,” She teased, making me blush scarlet.

“What are you saying? I don't know those people. I didn't even talk to them.

You know what I think about them? They are pretty rude. They sat beside me during luch but didn't even say a word,” I blurted out only to realise what I just blabbered out when my aunt turned to look at me.

“Rude? That's pretty new?“ She mused but the smile on her face didn't escape my radar.

She also chose to ignore the fact that I said that they sat beside me at the cafeteria.

“Forget about it,” I said, not wanting to talk about those gorgeous Adonis.

Yet my mind wandered to them.

They were so identical that I wonder how people tell them apart. Same hair style, same height, same eye colour and don't forget those abs sneaking from inside their shirts.

The following days went by very fast and before I realised it, it was Friday already.

I had managed to stay away from those three walking temptations lest I ended up being charged with s****l assault.

I have never been someone to get attracted to men easily but something about those guys was just drawing me to them like a moth to light.

It feels weird yet hard to fight. It's like they were sirens, enchanting me with their good looks and entrapping me.

It didn't escape me how we would coincidentally meet or find ourselves sitting near each other and as much as I want to ignore it, I had this feeling the triplets were trying to get my attention.

I might be wrong but… a girl can hope, right?

Today, I finally managed to convince my aunt to not pick me up and allow me to walk back home.

Although she seemed reluctant, she finally agreed after persuading her for eternity.

After saying goodbye to Linda, I left the school.

“Be careful, you don't know what surprise the forest has for you,” Those were Linda's parting words.

I just laughed them off deeming them funny.

It's just a forest, what surprise could there be?

Plugging in my earphones and playing my favourite song ‘Rewrite the Stars’ I walked through the forest, making sure to steer clear from the main road.

Fifteen minutes to the walk, I heard a weird sound from the woods prompting me to halt in my steps.

Removing my earphones, I listened. Then I heard it, this time, it was very clear.

Three deep growls sounded making the hair on my skin rise.

My heart thumped loudly in my chest, threatening to pop out.

Then I watched in horror as three big black dogs, no wolves, (heck, what am I even saying? I couldn't tell whether they were dogs or wolves or hounds due to my fear) emerged from the woods.

Fight or flight kicked in but neither of them seemed possible for me.

Running away was not an option. I wouldn't be able to outrun the three beasts with my two legs.

Fight? Hah? As if I could land a blow on any one of them before I would be torn apart.

The three wild dogs stalked me while I kept retreating.

At that instant, I regretted asking my aunt not to pick me up.

If I didn't persuade her to let me experience nature, I wouldn't be saying my last prayer now.

“Come on, you don't need to scare me anymore at this point. If you want to maul me, get it done and over with already and don't make it too painful.”

I closed my eyes waiting for the pain to come.
