DARK SECRETS

Her First Kiss

Erick was in his house, drinking and lost in thought. He was annoyed.

Annoyed with himself and the strange girl.

For the past one week, he tried checking when he went to the club, he wasn't fortunate to see her. He was able to see her perform twice, and she didn't have the surprised look she had in her eyes the day she saw him in the club anymore. Erick was beginning to think that he was actually wrong, and they were two different people.

Erick lost interest in finding her. But he couldn't stop himself from visiting Là Calantrò. At least just once, he always told himself. But he found himself there almost every week.

Whatever reason, he didn't know.

Slightly drunk, Erick picked up his car keys and went straight to his garage. It was just 9:00pm. The night was still very young. Erick wanted to Là Calantrò, and he wanted to have the best time of his life this time around.

He wasn't going to be looking for the mysterious girl any longer. Patrick could keep his two million dollars.

Erick staggered to his car and got in. He might be slightly drunk, but he knew how to handle his alcohol. He knew the road to Là Calantrò very well. He had become really regular there so much that Patrick really thought he was going crazy. And he would stay so late there and have fun with all the women. Patrick saw he was taking the bet almost too seriously, and tried to caution him not to get himself killed. He was sleeping with three to four women at the same time!

Erick didn't really care any longer. He just wanted to have a nice time. He got to Là Calantrò, and immediately hooked up with a girl. After paying for her services, still drunk, he and the girl went backstage where there were some empty rooms and they started kissing each other. Erick as usual was rough, but the girl caught up with him just fine. After a little while, the girl excused herself, telling him to wait for her. She wanted to use the restroom. Erick was left alone in the passage way, still drunk, but he knew where he was. He just didn't know where else to go after. He hadn't been to this place before in the club.

After waiting for few minutes, Erick got impatient. He started staggering around, trying to find a way out.

Yasmine was in her changing room, trying to change her clothes and go back as fast as she could back to her dormitory. If she was more late than this, she knew she would definitely be kicked out from dorm. As fast as she could, she changed and cleaned her face thoroughly before heading outside. But immediately she left the room, the power cut went out .

"Oh great, " Yasmine muttered to herself. "Could things get at any worse than this?"

She fumbled for her bag, trying to find her phone when she felt someone grab her from behind. Scared, she tried to scream but suddenly, a mouth clasped over hers immediately. Yasmine went numb. She didn't know what was happening and how it happened. Someone's mouth was on hers!

Immediately she pushed him away but the man groaned. " Why are you pushing me away? I paid lots of money for you to satisfy me, yet you're pushing me? Come here," the husky voice said and immediately grabbed her again.

"No! Leave me alone!" She yelled and pushed him away, then she kicked him in the stomach,hard.

"Ouch! Hey!" The man said and left her. Yasmine immediately got a hold of herself and turned to run. She had to leave from here, fast.

"Hey! " The man yelled and grabbed her hand but she slipped hers away from his and ran. But just before she could turn and run, the lights came back on and she looked at the person she had kissed and she was shocked.

It was the same rich, strange man!

She gasped when she saw him immediately. How could see have met him here, all of all places?!

"You! " The man said, as if he immediately recognized her and Yasmine punched him again one last time before running.

"Ouch! Hey! Hey! " The man yelled at her as she ran and he tried to follow her but he couldn't. He held his face in pain as he yelled for her.

Yasmine's heart was already in her mouth.

Why?

Why here of all places?

At this hour?

Did the lights had to come back in at that particular moment?

She hoped he didn't know who she was. Yasmine ran untill she reached a safe place, far away from Là Calantrò. She got to her dorm and ran to her room. She tried to forget everything that happened.

Why would she have to kiss that kind of man?

Why would she?

Yasmine gasped. He was her first.

Yes, he was her first kiss.

Yasmine groaned and pulled her hair. She buried her face in her pillow, trying to forget what had happened. She had to forget it. She just had to.

Erick was dazed when a heavy punch landed in his face. The drunken voice and the staggering steps and dizzy eyes immediately vanished after he was punched.

Damn hell!

Her hands were like that of a professional heavyweight champion in boxing!

His face was red hot still.

He didn't believe it. The girl he had actually kissed was her.

Yes, it was her. He couldn't forget her hair colour and the colour of her eyes. There were a strange combination. A strange combination he knew he had seen somewhere, even apart from meeting her.

She was the girl.

But why did she had to beat him twice?!

Erick punched the wall when he remembered that again. How was she so strong? It was like she had learn how to fight. She kicked his stomach that it affected him in his groin! And then she had to punch his face as well.

But for now, that didn't matter. What was she doing here?

Was she working at Là Calantrò?

Was she Hidden Beauty?

Who is she?

Erick had to know. Now that he saw her here, he wouldn't be at peace with himself if he didn't know what she was doing here at Là Calantrò.

As he was still thinking about it, the girl he had been waiting for came but he pushed her aside and went home. He didn't feel like having fun anymore.

He was close to the truth. He knew he was. First, he had to find out the name of the girl. He would find out, very soon too.
