Ardent Thirst

Precious - Chapter - 1

As I was serving the order, one of the men from the table slapped my ass. I am used to the eyeing of men. But I never tolerate unwanted hands on my body. However, I have to keep calm right now. Because if I do anything, then it will surely create a scene in the restaurant and I don’t need that now. I left the table AS OF NOW.

I went back and secretly took a picture of that group and sent it to Ava. After serving a few tables as I was resting, I called Ava and asked her to track these men. Ava is my best friend and a computer genius. Her boyfriend, Jack, as well. Both of them are my closest friends. They were always there for me when I was going through my worst phase. Now I am strong as ever and I love them both. As I told her everything, she just took 15 minutes to find those men.

It’s 9 pm now. My shift has just finished. It’s Time Now.

I parked my bike in front of a bar called Lullaby. This is one of the famous bars in the Lower East Side, NYC. I entered the bar and immediately spotted those perverts in the corner disturbing a group of girls. I am shivering with rage. I didn’t think twice, I went to them, sprinted to the ass who touched me in the morning and punched him in the face. His three other friends hurried to attack me. I skillfully attack them with all the techniques I learned in my training for the last couple of years. Within 5 minutes, all of them were grunting in pain. Security came running to handle the situation. Once I saw them coming from far, I quickly took the pervert by the collar and told him intensely “If you ever touch anyone without their permission, I am going to hunt you down and kill you myself. And trust me when I say that I am going to enjoy giving you a slow death”.

Immediately, I dropped him on the ground and quickly went through the crowd and got out of the bar. I saw the security are running to get me. It took me a few seconds to start my bike and before they get there and I’m gone.

My face is red with the heat burning in my skin, a satisfactory achievement. I am happy, I am f*****g happy now. The entire day I was unable to concentrate, but now I am super relaxed. The cold breeze was touching my face, I took the highway to get some free road. I am not going home right now, I just want to ride my beloved bike. Bike riding is my passion and I love my baby so f*****g much. Every night I usually go to the fight club to blow some steam, but not tonight. Tonight I am happy that I blew my steam to beat a f*****g prick.

I woke up with the alarm sound. Today is a fresh day, a fresh morning, and a fresh start once again. I am in a happy mood. After I cleaned up the room, I got ready to go to work. When I opened the door, I saw 2 men standing in front. Tall, muscular. One of them has a weird hairstyle. Anyway, “Yes? How may I help you?”.

“Ma’am, you need to come with us”, the wired hairstyle one said.

“The f**k you said? Who the hell are you guys and to answer you, no I’m not coming anywhere with you weirdo.”

“Don’t make us come in and drag your ass with us. Our boss wants to talk to you”, the other one said.

“If your boss wants to talk to me, ask him to book an appointment, then I will meet him. Else get the f**k out of my porch if you don’t want your face slammed on the ground.”

Surprisingly, both of them chuckle. I am going to have fun if they want to try anything funny. I grinned. The weirdo suddenly placed his hand in his ear and said something while facing outside. That moment it hit me, he was wearing a wireless, and mostly the other person heard everything I said. Who cares, I was curious before, but now I’m not. After a few seconds, he faced me, “You shall get your appointment booked soon”, and after saying that, both of them immediately left. I was speechless, mostly confused about what the f**k happened.

I collected their images from my calling bell camera and sent them to Ava. If I need to protect myself, then I need to understand my surroundings, especially with whom I’m interacting.

“Hey babe, I just sent you 2 images, can you please look them up? Two men came a few minutes back and said their BOSS wanted to meet me. I was getting super weird vibes. I need their entire details.”

“Sure dude, but it’s so early now, who the hell goes to someone’s home at this hour? Idiots. Anyway, give me some time to get fresh, then I will go and check.” Ava said.

“Sure”.

With that, I left for work. Today I’m going to work early because I need to leave early. Today I have a challenge at the fight club. I need to be there early.

My work problems have no problem. I am satisfied with the job and getting a decent payment. At least with all the circus, I have a normal life as well. Mainly, my boss is too sweet. She is around 55 years old, and has been running this restaurant for a long time now. After I lost my mother, somehow I felt motherly comfort from Lily.

I went inside after changing into my uniform. I started attending the tables. Then a man caught my eye. Spiked hair, strong jaw, thin lips, ocean blue eyes. He’s wearing a sweat jacket and sneakers and I can see every muscle of his body through his sweat. In one word, I have never seen a man that looked like that. I could feel my cheeks burning with heat as he looked at me.

I hesitated for a second, then I straightened up, held my head high, and went to take an order from his table. His eyes are on me and I can feel the heat rising. I just hope he doesn’t notice.

“Hi, good morning. Can I take your order please?”

“I came here to book an appointment with you as you didn’t come with my men”, he continues, “Also, I’d like to order a black coffee without sugar, and 3 lemon drops in it, Thank you.”

I was shocked. I couldn’t keep my work face on anymore. Those men came just 30 minutes ago to my doorstep. I was 10 seconds away from kicking their asses. Now again, their boss has come to see me? I was sarcastic with them about booking an appointment. But this is too much.

As I was about to go back, he said, “Don’t bother to click my pic and send it to Ava, she won’t find me”. As I turned around to look at his face, I could spot a smirk on his face. He looked super handsome yet I could feel my blood boiling. This i***t knows everything about me. Was he spying on me? What the hell?

I went to him again, “Were you spying on me? And who the f**k are you? What do you want from me?” I softly punched the table, due to the noise. People were staring at us, trying to understand what was happening.

His gaze didn’t leave me and he said softly, “I just wanted to have a meeting with you. If you’re free then I’d like to book an appointment to discuss,, this further.”

I was speechless at first, “I don’t give a s**t about your meeting, I have nothing to discuss with you. Stop bothering me, or else I’ll rip your balls off and will place them in your hand. It doesn’t matter who can find you or not, I will find you and after that, you’ll not be a man anymore”. I immediately left, yet I could feel his eyes on me, and I was burning with rage. My cheeks are burning. I was trembling a little bit from the intense encounter with a stranger. However, I needed to compose myself.

When I turned back, he was not there. He left. A sigh came out of my mouth and my body relaxed. After that, my entire day went by smoothly.
