The next morning
"Kami ! Kami ! I have to tell you something that happened to me last night so come here right now", said Ashley, very excited, when she phoned her friend Kamila."What the h*ll Ash ? It's six in the morning. Why are you calling me so early ?", Kamila said with a sleepy voice."Oh come on Kami ! I have to tell you something very very weird so come to place right now", Ashley told her."But can't you just tell it to me on the phone ?", Kamila asked still with a sleepy voice."You wouldn't believe me if I tell it to you on the phone", Ashley answered."Fine ! Fine ! I'm on my way", Kamila said, tiredly.Kamila lives in a luxurious apartment not far from Ashley's appartment and it's also very close to campus.A few minutes laterKamila knocks at Ashley's door"Finally you're here. Come in", Ashley said, while pulling Kamila to enter inside her appartment."So now you better tell me what is that thing that you have to tell me and that you couldn't tell on the phone", Kamila asked with her arms crossed."Well, it's about my rent", Ashley said."Wait ! You woke me up at 6 in the morning just to talk about your rent", Kamila said, a little bit angry."Yeah, because I've already told you not to pay it for me Kami but you did it anyway", Ashley said a little bit angry too."Wait ! What ?", Kamila said surprised."Oh ! Come on Kami ! I know what you've done", Ashley replied."And what have I done ?", Kamila asked curiously."I know that you paid my rent for me and I'm really grateful for that but I can accept it Kami. I've already told you not to help me financially. And all my other bills too were all paid as all the checks that I sent to pay them are all back", Ashley told her."But I've never done such a thing Ash. I didn't pay your rent nor pay your other bills", Kamila replied, surprised by Ashley’s words."Liar !", Ashley shouted."I swear it Ashley that I never paid your rent", Kamila said."But you are the only person aware that I have some financial problem and if you didn't pay them then who did it ? Because you are the only person that I know who is rich enough to do such a thing", Ashley answered."Are you sure I'm the only person that you know who is rich ? Isn't there anybody else maybe a boy who is in love with you and who is ready to do anything for you ?", Kamila asked."Brad ?! But he don't know that I have financial problem", Ashley said, surprised."Yeah, I may or may not tell him that you were a bit late on your rent again but that's all", Kamila said while turning her fingers."Kami !", Ashley shouted angrily."I'm sorry ok. We were talking and then it just came out of my mouth like that but I really didn't do it on purpose Ash, you know very well that I have a big mouth", Kamila replied."Yeah, I know you and your big mouth very well", Ashley said still angry and then Kamila apologized again."You know what Kami never mind. Now thanks to you I have a debt towards him now", Ashley told her, still a bit mad."I'm sorry again Ash", Kamila said."Yeah ! Yeah ! I'll just go to work now", Ashley replied and then left.At a coffee shop,Carlos and Rafael are in the car just in front of the coffe where Ashley works."Carlos what are we doing here so early in the morning ?", Rafael said."Look at your right", Carlos told him, while pointing in Rafael's right."And what's up to my right", Rafael said while turning his head on his right."At the coffee shop", Carlos replied."Yeah, what's up with this coffee shop ?", Rafael told him then he noticed that there is someone special in there."It's her ?", Rafael asked."Yes, it's her. She works here every morning before going to her classes", Carlos said and then smile when he saw that his Capo is actually very fascinated at the coffee shop.Rafael's thoughts at that moment were :"WOW ! She is even more beautiful in real than on the pictures" and he was a bit sad that Ashley must do that so early and every morning."Do want a coffee Capo ?", Carlos asked."Yes but actually I think I'll just grab it on myself"? Rafael answered, still looking at Ashley's direction and then get out of the car.Then the bell of the coffe shop rang when Rafael pushed the door to open it. Ashley immediately turned her gaze into the door."Ash, there is a really hot guy at the door", Lola said, another girl who works with Ashley at the coffee shop."Yeah, I saw him Lola. I'm not blind", Ashley replied rolling her eyes."Oh Gosh ! He is coming towards us. Do I look okay ?", Lola said nervously."You are looking like a girl who served coffee", Ashley mocked her and then laughed."Haha very funny Ash but I'll settle for it", Lola replied and then arranged her hair."Good morning Sir ! What can I do for you ?", Ashley said smiling when Rafael arrived at the counter.Rafael first looked at Ashley carefully as if he undressed her with his gaze which put Ashley very uncomfortable so she said again : "Sir, what can I do for you ?""Actually many things", Rafael replied and then wait a little before saying " but I'll settle for a coffee for the moment".Ashley blushed a little and then said : "what kind of coffee Sir ?""What do you suggest to me ?", Rafael asked, while looking at Ashley intensely in the eyes."Well, all of our coffee are delicious but for you, I think a black coffee would suit you the best", Ashley ansered him and smiled."Alright then I'll take a black coffee", Rafael replied."Right away Sir. Do you want to drink it here ?", Ashley said."I'll drink it here", Rafael told her."Do want something else with your black coffee ?", Ashley asked."Yes a croissant please", Rafael replied."Alright ! Please take a seat, I'll bring your coffee and your croissant to you in a moment", Ashley said and then Rafael sit at a free table. Lola during this time didn't say anything but just stared at Rafael."Wow ! You managed him so well Ash, I really don't know how you do that. And did you see the way that he looked at you ?", Lola said, excited."I was doing just my work Lola, I did nothing special. And yeah, I noticed his way to look at me. It really made me so uncomfortable and I found that so impolite and inappropriate too", Ashley said while preparing Rafael's black coffee and then took a croissant."And did you notice too that he has a small accent ?", Lola asked."Yeah, a Spanish accent I think", Ashley replied and then went to Rafael's table with his order."Here is your black coffee and your croissant Sir", Ashley said and Rafael is still staring at her which made tremble and spilled a little hot coffee on her hand."Ouch", Ashley said.Rafael took immediately the coffee form Ashley's hand and said :"Are you ok ?""Here is your black coffee and your croissant Sir", Ashley said and Rafael is still staring at her which made tremble and spilled a little hot coffee on her hand. "Ouch", Ashley said. Rafael took immediately the coffee form Ashley's hand and said :"Are you ok ?" "Yeah, I'm fine. It happens to me almost all the time", Ashley said and then looked at her hand. But then Rafael noticed that her hand was a little bit red. "Are you sure you are ok ?", Rafael asked. "Yes, Sir. I'm fine don't worry", Ashley replied and then hide her hand. "Then let me see your hand if you are really alright", Rafael asked. "I'm alright Sir you don't need to worry for me", Ashley answered him but suddenly Rafael takes her hand which was burned by the hot coffee and then he blew on it. Ashley was like frozen at that moment while looking at Rafael who is blowing on her hand. "It's not serious but you'll have to put ice on it", Rafael said. "Yeah, sure. Thank you Sir", Ashley said, trying to free her han
Several days went after Ashley and Rafael's meeting. "What I should do with that now", Ashley said to herself while holding Rafael's card with his number on it. "Should I call him ? No, of course not it's not. If I call him now, what could I tell him, huh :" Hi Rafael, it's the girl that burned her hand at the coffee the other day". Pathetic Ash, very pathetic. And if I don't call him, I won't see him again as he doesn’t even have my phone number", Ashley said to herself. "Ash, are you ready ? You better be ready because you are the only one that we are waiting for", Kamila shouted while looking for Ashley everywhere in her appartment. "Yeah ! Yeah ! I'm ready", Ashley replied. "Oh ! What are you wearing ? No way you are going there dressed like that", Kamila said. "What's wrong with my clothes ?", Ashley asked while looking at herself. "Ashley, sweetie, we're going to a nightclub and that dress isn't short enough. And these shoes, just horrible. Please take that off immediately
On my way to exit from the nightclub, I passed in front of the V.I.P corner and then someone just grabbed me by the waist just behind me and then said : "wanna dance with me baby ?". This man was stinking alcohol which was just disgusting. "No, thank you", I replied to him while trying to free myself but then he pulled me closer and tight me very hard against him and said : "I think you didn't understand very well what I just said. I want you to dance with me and I don't accept a no as answer". "And I said that I don't want to dance with you so now let go of me", I told him and then I still tried to free myself but I have just hit him with my elbow. "Ouch !! You punctured me an eye. You'll pay for that b*tch", the man said angrily but then I felt that he loosened his grip on me so I took the opportunity to free myself and then I ran as fast as I can but it's wasn't easy as the nightclub was crowded. And when I turned around just one second
Meanwhile as Rafael and Lorenzo were talking in Rafael's office at the nightclub , Carlos took Ashley to a private room as Rafael ordered him to . " So you are Carlos , right ? " , Ashley asked Carlos to break the deafening silence as it's been a while now that she was there with him and he still didn't say anything . " Yes , that's my name " , Carlos simply replied . " I'm Ashley , nice to meet you Carlos . You work for Rafael , aren't you ? " , Ashley asked again . " Yes , I'm his right hand " , Carlos said coldly . " What do you do for him exactly ? " , Ashley asked curiously . " As a right hand , Rafael gives me his full confidence and I give him my total loyalty . Thus , he gives me the most delicate and important tasks. And it's up to me too to take care of his businesses when he isn't there or when he is busy with something or someone else " , Carlos explained to Ashley . " Ah !! I see now . You are like his best friend then and you must know everything about him even his
" I'm okay Rafael. I just need my clothes and my phone. My friends are certainly worried about me. That's all and then I'll leave " , Ashley said . " I'll bring you new clothes and your phone too but I won't let you go anywhere " , Rafael told her . " Excuse-me ?! ", Ashley replied to him, surprised. " Maybe you didn't hear me very well, I' ve just said that I' ll leave , it wasn't a question but a statement ", Ashley then replied to him confidently. Then Rafael started getting closer to Ashley but she stepped back as he approached her and she almost fell. Luckily, Rafael caught her and delicate her right hand on back for Camera from falling and Ashley felt from a shot of the thrills browse all his body then his heart started beating faster and stronger than she was afraid that Rafael could hear it beating so fast. " And I said that I won't let you go anywhere ", he whispered before saying : " and it's an order not a statement " " You can't keep me here ", she shouted. " Of cour
A week is now past after attack at nightclub, for me it was a pretty difficult week because every night I still had horrible nightmares on what happened in addition every time I walk in The street, I have a very strange feeling, as if someone followed me wherever I went and still as if I was watching more closely. There is always this black car who always waits in front of my apartment every day and that I also find in front of the university and to be honest it's very frustrating. I walked quietly in the street to go home after classes when I noticed that this man dressed in black was already behind me a few minutes before I left the university. " I need to know if that guy is really following me or not. So, I'm going to stop at this grocery store. I will pretend to buy something and then I'll see if it's there too or if he follows his own way ", Ashley said to herself. She really stopped at the grocery store and entered there to pretend to buy something and then she noticed that
" Now let me go ", Ashley said. " Are you sure that's what you want ? ", Rafael asked with a seductive voice. " Wh...at ?! ", she replied, confused. " Do you really want me to let you go ? ", he asked again. " Yeah... I mean yeah I want you to let me go ", Ashley stuttered. " Alright then. I have something to take care of and then I'll get you home ", Rafael said, moving away from Ashley. " Ok, no problem ", she told him and then they left the room. Rafael returned to the conference room and Ashley went in the kitchen in hope to find the lady who let her go the other day. " May I he
Ashley's day took place as usual: she worked at the cafe before going to her classes and worked at Jo's restaurant after the end of her classes. It was now time for her to prepare for dinner with Rafael. Obviously, she is very nervous about the accessories of this dinner since it has been now that she does not come out of a man.She hesitated a long time to choose what outfit she was going to wear, but she finally decided to wear a blush pink A-line short homecoming dress with a V-neck and with a square toe ankle strap, chunky heel sandals and a mini light pink color bag. She then put some makeup on her eyelids, not too much but just enough to highlight her eyes and then put a fruity lipstick on her lips.Then someone knocked on the door" Yeah, I'm coming ", Ashley shouted as she hurried to open the door.
