My Sin City

Chapter 5

Emily***

With those words, he left the room, leaving me alone in the room. It looked ancient but modest. I wouldn’t have thought of running away, I mean, being with this handsome stranger, away from my cheating friends, was a relief on a different level like I magically upgraded. But then again, I couldn’t completely trust him, for all I knew he was the most wanted person in my town.

I stood up from the bed and moved closer to the door, peeping through a little hole. The passage was empty, he wasn’t there. The sound of the rumbling thunder frightened me and I let out a scream.

Being alone in this room was sure scary as hell. The yellow bulb swung from side to side, the sound of the heavy rain wasn’t letting me hear my thoughts. I let out a deep sigh, at least I was still alive.

I walked towards the window, the only window in the room. But it was guarded with iron bars, which would clearly not fit me. I looked around for anything I could use to pry the iron, but nothing.

I sat down on the bed again, a feeling of defeat washing through me. But one thing I knew for sure was that I wasn’t going to cry anymore. I had done enough for the night.

Tired and worn, I removed my clothes. I couldn’t sleep without bathing, but I had to try. Removing the dirty clothes gave me a sense of little cleanliness. There was a little blanket at the end of the bed. I took it, wrapping myself. I was going to try and get a night's rest.

But the minute I closed my eyes, the clear image of Sophia and Jason, kissing, holding each other intimately, flashed through, like my brain had taken a very neat picture, and would keep it there for the rest of my life.

I heard my heart shattering and felt the dampness in my eyes before I realized I was crying. But this was the silent one, the one where all the screaming was done inside of you and you only let out the tears.

I didn’t know when I slept off.

Waking up, and slowly opening my eyes, the once sim yellow bulb glared at me and I winced. My whole body ached like I had run a marathon. My brain was still foggy.

I felt a hand touching my legs and I screamed.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you,” he said so calmly, I felt foolish.

“I..uh..there isn’t any problem,”

“Who’s Jason, if you don’t mind? Came to check up and saw you crying while sleeping. You kept muttering things, I could only pick up the name.”

“He..his my boy. I mean, his someone I know, my ex actually,” the word “ex” felt so stale on my lips, I had never imagined a day would come when I’d address Jason as my ex!

“Ohhh,” he left his mouth a little open. I wondered why my f*****g abductor would be concerned about me. So many things didn’t add up, but I couldn’t get myself to ask. Why would things even add up when my best girl could cheat on me with my man?

My bladder felt painfully full like it’d explode soon. “Pee, I need to pee,” I said not looking at him.

He stared at me for a while, and I felt a flush of breeze on my skin. The rain had stopped, I didn’t know the time, but the cold from the rain was still there. “Follow me.”

Like I had a choice? I stood up to leave, trying to follow him. Forgetting that I had removed my clothes earlier, cause I couldn’t remember the last time I had slept without them on, setting my feet down, it got caught on the blanket which was so long it flowed to the ground.

“Ahhhhhh” I heard myself screaming as I was about to hit the ground, I closed my eyes tightly, bracing myself for the fall. But I wasn’t met with the floor, rather two hand arms braced my naked body, almost like a hug.

I looked up to face him, we maintained eye contact. My chest rising and falling heavily, breathing hard. “Thank you” I let the words out like a sigh.

Seeing this man up close was a glimpse at heaven. I could feel my world come to a stop. How could a man like this indulge in such a gruesome activity?

I was breathing through my mouth now, my body pressing into him, I could feel him, hard and lean.

He let me go, looking away instantly, and that was when I realized. “f**k! I’m so sorry I didn’t know,” I said as I bunched up the blanket, covering myself up.

I wasn’t sure, but I could see and did feel something slightly hitting my lower belly. But that would be crazy of me. Had the betrayal from Jason messed with my brain?

As if possessed, I rushed and blocked the door with my body. If my boyfriend could cheat on me with my best friend, why couldn’t I have a taste of this sweet mysterious man who might be my end?

I could see the confused look on his face, but he didn’t push me away, yet. I was scared, if I had misread him, annoying him might send me to my end quicker than supposed. I gulped and sent the blanket covering me down, exposing myself to him.

My breathing was so heavy it hurt my chest, it felt like no matter how hard I breathed, I wouldn’t be able to get enough air inside me. Maybe because it was the air I needed inside of me.

But this man just stood there, looking at me, his expression indifferent. I took it as my go-order and went closer to him. Staring feeling into his eyes.

I sent my lips crashing into his, and at first, he wasn’t bulging, but a few minutes in I was met with such a hungry intensity, I feared this kiss was going to be my death.

With his hands, he grabbed on my waist, squeezing it. I let out moans into his mouth. I slowly let my hands slide down his body, feeling the bulge on his pants. He flinched instantly and broke off from the kiss, staring at me like I had touched his forbidden area.

Naked and under his gruesome stare, I felt extremely vulnerable. He looked like he was about to do something before we heard the bang on the door.

Boom boom boom.
