12: Coffee shop~harassment 2

ADRIANNA

My manager looked at me shocked and confused.

"What?" She asked me.

Her demeanor shifted, and anger flashed across her face. Fear gripped me, and my eyes gleamed with confusion. My thoughts began to wander. Was she angry with me because i slapped that disgusting man? Was i about to lose my job? It's not even my fault; he harassed me and he deserves the slaps i gave to him in ten folds.

"Ma'am, i said he harassed me, he touched my butt and said perverted things to me, even when i clearly told him i was not interested and I don't do such things" i answered her, this time less confidently.

She dropped her purse on the counter, walking over to the man.

"Excuse me sir, did you assault my employee?" She asked the disgusting looking man, who still held his cheeks tightly.

The man looked over to me, with an angry expression.

"No, i did not. I only complimented her that she was pretty, i never harassed her" he said.

I stood there in shock.

What did he mean by he never harassed me? Why was he lying?

"No, that's not true!!" i screamed as i walked over to the man.

"He's lying, he harassed me. He touched my butt and asked me if I wanted to spent a night or two with him, and when i refused, he told me that i had nice boobs". I said screaming at the top of my lungs. There was no way i was going to let this man go scot-free.

My manager looked over to him and asked. "Did you touch her butt sir? And ask her to spent a night with you?".

"No" he said.

I looked over at him, tears streaming down my eyes. My eyes held a deep pain and confusion. My heart was racing.

"Why are you lying you disgusting piece of sh*t? Tell them how you harassed me, how you talked about my boobs and how they looked nice. How you asked me to spent a night with you. Tell them!!!" I screamed, my voice threatening to leave me.

I looked around and everyone just kept looking at me. People had gathered to see what the commotion was about. Some people's faces held laughter and some held pity. People began to whisper to each other, turning their face over and using their hands to cover their mouth.

I felt embarrassed. I was ashamed. Never had i been in this situation before and this was all because of them. My mind raced back to the moment i was sent out of the house. The smile on Jasmine's face, and her hands all over Raymond.

What did i ever do to deserve this? Why was my life taking a twisted turn? When was this all going to end? These questions kept ringing in my head.

"Okay" my manager said, jolting me out of my thoughts.

She began to walk away, going back to her office.

I ran after her.

"Ma'am believe me, this man is lying, he harassed me, i wouldn't slap him for no reason" i said trying to talk to her as she continued walking to her office. She paid me no listening ear as she just kept walking.

I stopped as i noticed she wasn't going to stop and listen to me. I walked back to where the man was, and his expression instantly gave me the creeps. He had a smirk on his face. He looked at me, as he held a weird expression.

I felt unsafe, i felt scared. I quickly signaled to the people around, alerting them of the expression he made, but they all turned a blind eye. They began to move away, going to their various seats.

I stood there confused, as more tears streamed down my eyes.

"Why are you all not saying anything?" I screamed.

"You all were here when this disgusting man harassed me, so why are you not saying anything?!" I added, this time going to a customer.

"Ma'am, you were here when this man touched my butt, you saw him, please tell my manager what you saw please" i said as i walked closer to her.

She immediately took steps back and turned her face, not even answering me.

I stood there hurt and helpless. No one was willing to help me.

What had I done to deserve this? Why was my life spiraling out of control?

My manager walked out of her office, and she walked over to me. She gave me a gently pat on my shoulder and walked over to the man.

"Excuse me sir" she began.

"I've gone to check the CCTV footage and now i know what really happened" she said as she looked at me, giving me a smile.

The man's eyes immediately widened and i could see fear grip his entire body.

"I am going to call the police now, and you are going to go to jail, you filthy and disgusting pervert" she said as she took her phone close to her ear.

He walked over to her, his hands held out in a pleading gesture.

"Please, i am sorry. Let me just go, i would never step foot into this place again" he said, with his disgusting and filthy mouth.

It was so funny, how the mouth he used to harass a young woman, could also be used to beg.

The police arrived in few minutes and he was dragged out of the coffee shop, not after giving me a very good apology.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

My mind now calm and collected.

My manager walked up to me and gave me a hug.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you Adrianna, i will make sure this never happens again" she said to me, giving me a wide smile after releasing me from her hug.

I returned the smile, feeling really relieved that i got justice and that pervert and disgusting creature met his doom.
