The week passed painfully fast, after their date last Saturday, Sara couldn't wait to see Christian again.
After the date that day, she had come back to the shelter soaked to the core, clothes dripping with water but still satisfied and excited on the day well spent.
She had told Ariel everything and how the dinner had gone successfully well, followed by the ride in the ocean, she had concealed the fact that they had shared a passionate kiss, choosing not to disclose such intimate affairs with her yet.
Now yawning from her bed, the rays of the blinding morning sunlight reflected on her face, getting up from her bunk, she saw that Ariel was still fast asleep, putting on her slides, she went to the bathroom to rinse her face and brush her teeth.
When she was done, she went back to her room to see that all the girls had already woken up, and Ariel
Sara sat by Christian's bedside in his dimly lit room, chewing the milky cookies and tea she had been offered, after she had been ushered in by his mother, who had been very welcoming and inviting, she had felt at ease at being able to locate him successfully without any problems.Dropping the fruits and beverages she had bought with some little change she had, Mrs Smith had collected them gratefully and even chided her for spending her money but she waved it off with a smile.Now looking at Christian who was shivering coldly even though he was covered in a huge blanket, his body was feverishly hot, he instantly coughed and she moved to change the iced towel on his head.Dropping the tea tray, she reached for the cloth, dipping it in the cool water and placing it on his forehead, as she tried to remove her hands he held it tightly in place atop his head briefly and murmured
It was another busy evening at the gentleman's club she worked at, today being friday the bar was unusually busy as business men and different types of men ordered different exotic drinks, the orders were insurmountable as they trooped in hundreds.The club was busy, lively and filled to the core with music blasting from the DJ's speakers and the atmosphere high, exuding elegance, ectasy, and all sort of unmentionable acts.The evening looked promising enough for the club, it was not yet 6:00 clock pm, but yet the club was filled to the brim, her pay this night was going to be much that was for sure, considering the fact she was also working overtime.Smiling to herself, her thoughts drifting off to Christian, after she had visited him last time and the passionate cuddle they had held together on his bed, she had been reluctant at first, she was afraid of being caught in such an
Sara blinked thrice, she couldn't believe her eyes, Christian was standing in front of her, the rage and anger radiating from him chilled her to the bones."I said get your meaty hands off her, pervert." He said shouting, looking anywhere else but at him, she could feel the numerous countless stares coming their way.Christian was definitely going to put her in trouble, how had he gotten her address?, She thought to herself.Suddenly she felt the pervert holding her, dropping his hands and turning to face Christian."And who the hell allowed you in here, little boy?" He asked, looking snidely at Christian."You are publicly harassing a worker sexually, and that's not part of the services you paid for, or is it?" Christian asked, standing tall and looking at the man with what she could only describe as pure hatr
Buttoning up his shirt, Christian looked at his self in the mirror and ruffled his hair in anger, since yesterday after the quarrel with Sara, he had not been himself ever since.Was this what love did to someone?He had been restless all through out yesterday, he had even refused to eat the dinner his mom had served, and when she had sensed his mood was not okay and had asked him what the matter was being the concerned mother she was, he had waved her off, telling her he was alright.He had tried calling Sara's cell late that night but it had been switched off."What's the matter son? You've been moody since yesterday, care to share?" Looking at his bedroom door, he could see his mother standing by the side, arms akimbo and giving him the stare that meant she was but leaving until she knew about everything."It's nothing serious mum, I j
Christian looked up from the receptionist desk as the store's door slammed wide open, seeing that it was Ariel who had been absent from work for the past three days, his mind leapt up as he saw her, finally he could ask about Sara's well being.Since the argument that night, something he had come to terms with admitted within himself that he was at fault, she had refused to pick his calls or reply his constant text messages, and he had the feeling that she was ignoring him on purpose."Hello Christian, Hello Daniel." Ariel greeted, waving at Daniel and even fist bumping him affectionately, Christian knew something fishy was going on between them, that was for sure."What's up Ariel, how's your health." He asked, "Well, I'm doing just fine as you can see, I'm hale and hearty." She answered chuckling brightly.This was the right time to ask about
"Sara, Sara, come get dressed we are going out." Ariel exclaimed loudly, coming into the room with two leather bags containing what looked like clothes."Look Ariel, I'm so tired okay, I don't have strength to go anywhere now." Sara replied, ever since she had gotten that letter from the unknown sender she had been scared.She still had two more years to stay in the shelter and her life was already in danger, even Ariel had noticed her being moody and asked her what the matter was, but she had waved her off, saying she was fine.Choosing to keep the letter a secret, she had not disclosed the contents of the letter to anyone, she had burned the envelope secretly, and had later pondered on who the sender was.She was not a troublesome person, she had no enemies in the shelter that she knew off, she was an easy going person, why should she watch he
God, She was so pretty as she stood before him, her curly brunette strands flowing freely in the cool night breeze, the little shiny black dress she was putting on accentuated her curves nicely, the little jewelry sparkled under the night's moonlight.She was breathtaking, stunning, lovely, gorgeous, goddess like, words couldn't describe how she looked tonight, she was his!That described it all, looking in her eyes, he saw nothing but love and adoration, she was crying, damn it, she was so emotional, not liking the tears one bit, he brought out an handkerchief from his pockets and moved to wipe her tears, but was surprised when she tackled him and gave him a tight hug.Sobbing uncontrollably, and sniffling against his white shirt, she started to stay something but he stopped her with a quiet shhhh, and rubbed her back gently.Leading her to the
MEETING HIMDinah walked into the large store intending to get some sanitary pads and other groceries for herself, she had just gotten some money from her drug dealer boyfriend, although she didn't love him, she was just with him to satisfy her personal needs and to get money to take care of her expenses.Walking to the counter, Dinah came face to face with the most handsome boy or man rather she had ever seen, he was breathtakingly handsome, with wavy blond darkish hair and a nice muscular build, she couldn't stop staring at him.Focusing intently on the notepad he was writing on, he didn't even notice when she walked up to the counter and intentionally placed her hands on his."Oh sorry, I... I... It was a mistake." She said making a mock effort to remove her hands from his, he was so stunning, biting his lips and smiling at her, he started saying something and Dinah literally drowned
SARA“I can’t believe you recorded everything Miranda said last night.” Ariel uttered in awe, and Sara just smiled ruefully.“I did record it. I brought out my phone when she was talking, and I put on the sound recorder. Everything she said is in here, and I hope to convince Christian with this proof today.” As she finished speaking, she saw Ariel’s facial expression change from awe and surprise to something indescribable, and her heart clenched.“Don’t you want me to go talk to him?” Sara asked softly, blinking back the tears that gathered at the pool of her eyes and beneath her lashes.These pregnancy hormones! Damn, but they made her want to cry every second, and she just couldn’t hold it back. Sniffing, she shrugged her shoulders and waited for Ariel to say something but her friend was keeping mute.“Ariel…” She drawled softly, her hands going to her cheeks, wiping incessantly.Instead of replying as expected, Ariel just took a step towards her, pulling her in for a hug as she wr
CHRISTIAN ‘The take-off would begin in roughly ten minutes. Passengers aboard are advised to fasten their seatbelts, and get prepared. Phones should be switched off too, for the time being.’The announcement from the train speakers blared loudly, and quickly doing as they were told, Christian proceeded to fasten his belts and that of his siblings before relaxing a bit.This was the first time Christian was boarding a train that required him to use a seatbelt, and it felt strange to say the least.However nothing was more strange to him, than not having Sara by his side today. Finally, he was leaving for Seattle and the shadowy feeling of sorrow and regret clouded over him as usual.Gripping the seats tightly, and staring ahead as the train let out a whistle, and heavy grilling sound before starting, Christian closed his eyes murmuring a brief prayer as the machine began to move.He opened his eyes briefly, shooting his mother who was by his side a brief glance and a warm smile, his
SARAStaring lazily at the ceiling up ahead, Sara blinked her eyes twice for the umpteenth time that night.She was trying to force herself to sleep but it wasn’t working at all. She had turned and tossed tirelessly on the bunk bed she shared with Ariel, and even after some complaints from her best friend, she just didn’t stop.She couldn’t stop rather, with her mind going haywire and streaks of dried tears still on her face.Letting out a soft sniffle and whimper, as if she wanted to begin crying again, Sara turned to the left side of the bed, her eyes wandering about as she looked around the dimly lit hostel room. It wasn’t so late at all, and she and Ariel were the only ones in the room, as they had eaten their dinner albeit hurriedly, and then come back to rest.Now though, the last thing Sara was doing was having a good rest, and she hated this feeling so much! She tried closing her eyes slowly again, making it droop and at the same time praying that this strategy of hers would
CHRISTIAN The moment Mrs Smith, had told Christian that his best friend was here to visit, he had known that things was going to go south.Basically their conversation would be centered on his departure news, and Sara too and based on the latter he knew the talk wasn’t going to be an easy one.Well, it was becoming more visible and clear now, and as he paced around his room, his hands going to his hair and ruffling the dark blonde strands every now and then, Christian could only try to reign in his anger.They had talked about his journey, and then diverting to the talk of Sara, Daniel had suddenly become over defensive and honestly Christian didn’t like it at all.He just didn’t like it, and no matter how he’d warned Daniel not to push too far, his friend wasn’t giving a damned fuck, as he was still angry. “So you’re just going to throw away every single thing you had with that poor pregnant girl, just because of some nude photos that were clearly staged?” Daniel spat out incredul
DINAH’S POV“Tessa, I don’t understand what’s going on anymore.” Dinah muttered, lighting up a cigar stick and passing the box to her friend, who willingly collected it.“Oh come up Dinah…” Tessa began puffing on her already lit up cigarette stick, “Why are you so worked up about this? Are you just going to give up after everything you’ve done? Everything we’ve been through together?”Dinah just rolled her eyes, her hands going to her forehead as she heaved out loud in frustration.“I don’t know what to think again Tessa. I mean after all I did, I still don’t have Christian in my grasp. I mean he told me prop and plain that he’s leaving this town.”“To where again?” Tessa asked, and letting out a hiss Dinah replied, “Seattle. Talks about him getting a new job there and even when we talked, he freaking brought talks about that bitch into the conversation. Despite the fact that they’ve broken up, apparently he still has feelings for her and it hurts me so much. I mean, why can’t he just
SARAHastily handing over the pregnancy test results to Christian, Sara placed a hand over there lips, trying to stop the sob that threatened to spill out from within.Seconds passed, minutes too, with the silence between then growing in folds, and she could only watch as he stared down at the papers, his hands visibly shaking furiously.She waited for him to say something, and at long last when nothing seemed to be forthcoming she broke the dreaded quietude.“Won’t you say something?” She began with a sniffle, but he said nothing.Shoulders dropping further, Sara continued, “I know the past few days have been hell for both of us. I mean, you seeing these… I don’t even know what to call it now and…”“You keep saying you don’t know what to call them Sara, but I’ll help you madame. They are nudes miss, fucking nudes. Pictures of another man fucking you. Pictures of a man, fucking what I called mine. Look at your facial expression in those pictures Sara, you freaking enjoyed every single
SARA“Hello Christian.” Sara said weakly, her voice hoarse and despite the weakness she was feeling all over her body, she still managed to grace her face with a small smile.Her eyes roaming through his whole body, she almost let out a whimper, taking a step forwards as she was overcome with so many emotions.She fucking missed him so much! Missed the feel of his arms around her body, the cologne from his shirt, and his husky voice breathing sweet nothings in her ear.Now more than ever, as she stared right at him still smiling, Sara realized just how much she missed having him close to her.Well, now she was here and she would remedy that all to quickly.She continued staring at him, but then seeing how unmoving he was, the stoic look in his face, and the brewing silence that thickened the atmosphere, Sara could only note that something was wrong somewhere.“Hey Christian…” She called out again, this time waving her right hands at him as she asked again, “What’s up? Am I not allowed
TWO DAYS LATER SARAThe first thing Sara saw when she opened her eyes were the blinding white lights in the room, and the pungent smell of medicine and blood that made her want to puke.She lurched, her head almost springing up from the soft bed she was laying on, but she stayed still. Where was she? She began to wonder, her mind spinning as she tried to recall any event, but her head was blank.She tried to say something, but her voice was stuck, her throat sore and it felt like she hadn’t eaten or drank anything in days. Worse, she felt weak, all her body ached and she still had the strong urge to puke her stomach out.“Sara? Sara are you there?” Someone was saying, and blinking twice her vision still blurry, Sara saw two pair of hands waving over her face.“Sara? Can you hear me?” The ever familiar voice said again, and nodding softly Sara finally managed to say, “I can hear you. Ariel?” “Oh Sara… I was so worried.” Ariel said, and instantly Sara felt the bed dip as her best fri
CHRISTIAN Christian was done with everything.His bags and luggages were already packed and ready to move. A small sad smile creeping up his lips, his feelings further intensified when he felt the gentle fragile hands of his mother sneaking up his shoulders, as she squeezed lightly.“Don’t you think you are in a haste son? Have you thoroughly thought about everything?”She asked softly.Christian knew she meant no harm with her words, but her words reminded him so much of Sara and quickly he went off.Like a spark lighting up in his head, he blurted out angrily shrugging her hands off his shoulders, “Mother, if this is about Sara, you can just dead the topic. I don’t want to talk about her.”An awkward silence brewing, and the atmosphere becoming tense Mrs Smith finally broke it off, clearing her throat and chuckling almost inaudibly.“Son! I didn’t even want to talk about her? I was just asking some important questions but now that you say it…” She paused obviously gathering what to
