Your Badass

EPISODE 4: TRICKING ME

 Eunice’s POV

  “Hello? Is this Eunice Frunt? Will Blues get into an accident, you need to hurry here in his apartment. He might not make it alive.”

  After I hear what the other side say, I run to his apartment anxiously. My tears started falling. ‘What happen? Please let him live. I did not tell him yet what I feel towards him. I’m afraid to lose him.’ I keep on crying as I ran faster than I have ever done before. I don’t care what other people may think about me. I want to be by his side as soon as possible!

“Where is he? Where is he?!” I’m panting the time I arrive in front of his place. All I see is a woman in white looking like an emergency personnel. I fell down to my knees and wailed. “W-what happen? Where is he? I want to see him.” As I look up, I saw her grinning at me. I was dumbfounded. 'Why is she looking at me like that? '  I ignored her and look around. It feels weird looking at her smile. 

  “Miss Frunt, let me escort you to Mr. Blues.” She said with a bright smile.

She assisted me to stand up and led me to a chair in one of the rooms and fixed my hair, wiped my tears and put on some powder to my face. I am confused. What is she doing? Aren’t I supposed to see an emergency situation? Wait! Am I being abducted?! Why did I fall prey?!I suddenly stood up and it made a huge bang on my head to her chin. “Ouch!”

“Hey! Why you did suddenly stood up? We are not done yet!” She exclaimed.

Shock crossed my face. ‘Voice phishing! No! It’s not, because she said that Will is dying. What’s going on?!’ I tried to run to the door but she blocked me.

“What are you doing? Are you nuts?!”

“Stop it! Let me go! How dare you trick me! I’m not staying in this place more than a second! You definitely voice phished me!” I panic. I searched for window for a possible exit but it’s tightly shut, too secured. She grabbed me and tied me up with blanket in the chair. I struggle my best to set myself free but in vain. ‘What will I do? I still want to live!’ “HELP! Somebody, I need help! HEELLPP!!!” I shouted to the top of my lungs

“You! Shut your mouth up or I’ll tie it!” she said angrily. Her brows are joined as one line and her forehead is crumpled. Her eyes are raging with birse and frustration.

“You will never succeed with your pla-“

She tied my mouth with a handkerchief and blindfolds my eyes. I tried to break myself free but I’m too weak to supplant. She dragged me to some place.

“What’s happening?” I heard a man’s voice. ‘It’s Will! What is he doing here? Isn’t he injured? Why is his voice lively?’

“Your bullshit plan and that stubborn girl! She is so big I got hard time tying her up! I did all I can so pay me now! Hooo! I’m so exhausted with that entire struggle!” She patted my head.

“You can go now.” I heard feet stomping and her voice fading, until I feel the tie in mouth and blindfold is getting loose. When it was totally taken, I saw those grey eyes. My tears automatically track down my face.

“Why? How can you do this? My family definitely doesn’t have money. I beg you. If you plan to sell out my organs, I can give you my one kidney. Just let me live please… I will not tell anybody if you release me, I promise.”  I begged him while weeping.

“Oh, do you?” He asks me with a devilish smile.

I closed my eyes and nodded my head. I hear him chuckle and loosen the tie in my body. I felt all my energy was drained by the sudden change of situation but this is not the time to dawdle. I need to live. I need to finish my studies and help my parents. I want them to taste the luxurious life. When I open my teary eyes, he is looking straight unto me and unexpectedly hugs me.

“I’m so sorry I made you worried. You can stop crying now. It messes up your good looks.” He said wearing a dazzling smile. I was mesmerized by his smile, his eyes light like a florescent bulb in the middle of the darkness. His eye length hair was neatly combed backward exposing his forehead and brows that complimented his high nasal bridge and thin lips.

“Why are you wearing suit?” I ask nowhere near the topic.

“You will know but first, you need to fix your messed up looks.” He stood up and helped me beautify myself.

He ran his hands through my hair and occasionally touches my face. I feel current flow from his hands unto my psyche. This is a strange emotion that sent shivers to my innate.

“Everything is done. Let me take you to somewhere else.” His eyes sparkled like starlight in the dark sky. He open the door to a room filled with lavender scent. My jaw dropped at this fascinating sight. Switched with delight, all my worries are gone.

“Wow! Am I dreaming?” The room was lit in scented candles and petals are scattered on the floor leading to the sofa, where balloons are floating in the air. I’m so flabbergasted! ‘What should I do?’ My heart is beating so fast I can’t hear anything except its dub-dub!

“Do you want to come in?” He is now tittering at my side showing his splendid personality.

“Of course I will!” I blurted out without second thought. I even forgot father’s reminder. NEVER ENTER A MAN’S ROOM IF YOU ARE ALONE. I’m sorry Pa, I’m overwhelmed with this strange feeling I feel inside to think of anything else except for the man standing before me.

I have not yet recovered when he directed me to the couch where a cake is sitting atop the table.

WILL YOU BE MY GIRL?
