"Oh, Emma! She's one of them. Tremendously skilled and I must add she's a hard worker. The kids you saw earlier, she is the one who trained them.'' Kevin hummed, a sparkle in his eyes."I would like to meet her."A moment of silence lasted between them before the old man stammered. "S-sure Sir!" Even though the old man wasn't certain why Kevin demanded to meet her, he was convinced that Emma's a diligent girl with utmost mannerism. She's got talent and she's surely one of his most valuable employees who's capable of portraying a good impression of the school in Kevin's eyes. Thus, he agreed to his demand without any argument or questions and asked one of the staff to bring her.Moments later, Kevin saw her moving through the cheering crowd and coming towards him. And at that moment, he saw her from up close and God she's gorgeous indeed. Who would have thought the girl he saw yesterday in those loose ugly clothes would be so beautiful. He took her all in.Sharp features, small shoulder
In less than half an hour, the crowd began dispersing. Everybody started leaving. Kids left for home with their parents, hands full of candies, eyes gleaming with joy. The once crowded and cheerful auditorium was empty now except for a few men who were busy discussing some official matters and the staff who were waiting backstage. Everyone was tired but happy. The day had finally come to an end on a good note. "We did well," said Mina, taking a bite from her apple. "David seemed delighted receiving all those cheques," Mina added and Emma hummed, bending down and carrying the white cat up in her arms. "I think we might get a promotion this time," Mina continued and stared at Emma for a while who seemed to be in deep thoughts. "What did that charmer say to you?" "Huh?" "What did he say? You look flustered," said Mina, leaning against the wall and looking at Emma who sat quietly, fingers mindlessly running through Lola's white fur. Emma stilled for a while, vague images from the
Kevin felt his mind filled with euphoric desire, grey eyes darkened with shades of lust. He felt his commitment to not touch her withering in thin air, now that he had touched her. Fuck everything, he wanted her. He leaned down and placed his lips on her bare shoulders once again making her squirm against him. It only deepened his desire but he knew no matter how hard he was, how bad he wanted her, he'd have to wait. She isn't willing, not yet but she'll be, he knew. Emma wriggled her wrists, trying her best to get herself free from his manly grip but nothing worked. A tear cascaded down her eyes realizing her helplessness. He must have realized that she was crying because the next moment she felt his hold loosening on her. She heard the sound of footsteps getting vague and soon it vanished completely. He was gone!Emma looked around, seemingly frightened. Her Breaths awfully short, eyes heavy with unshed tears looking around the studio. Everywhere! Every corner! But there was no man
It was two in the morning. The stars were brighter that night with the full moon shining high up in the sky, adorning the night with its light. Its silvery rays slanted through the small glass window into the room that was once drowned in darkness. Casting shadows on the white walls and filling the room with unwanted light. Emma was lying in the bed, her eyes fixed on the moon that's been peeking through her window witnessing her troubled state. It's quiet in the room, only the snores of the little boy sleeping next to her could be heard. But, sleep was miles away from her eyes. Different thoughts kept running in her head, shattering her peace. She couldn't sleep, today's incident didn't let her sleep. It kept replaying in her mind again and again. Shivers ran down her body every time she would remember that foreign touch. Every detail comes rushing into her mind, the way she was touched, his proximity. She could still feel his hot breaths, she could still smell his exotic cologne and
"I can't believe this nonsense," Mina yelled and looked at Emma who was sitting quietly. "You okay?" Mina asked the younger one as she saw her dull face. Her hand rested on Emma's shoulder trying to calm her down. They had spent the last twenty minutes in the control room trying to find a trace of that mysterious man but returned disappointed. There's no footage. All the cameras inserted on the first floor were out of order. None of them were working. "I'm fine," Emma replied, a gentle smile adorning her face, an attempt to hide her distress."Don't worry!" She assured Mina, and got up from the bench, striding towards the lockers. Grabbing her ballet slippers from the lowest one, Emma began wearing them, eyes downcast, teeth mindlessly biting her lips. Mina stared at her for a while and realized something was definitely off. Emma looked quiet and troubled."But I'm not! I feel like burning that damn control room." Mina began, annoyance visible in her tone."Good for nothing piece of—"
December arrived with its absolute glory. Frosty gusts of wind, dark skies, frozen lakes while thick layers of snow covered the ground and the top of the houses and trees. Everything already seemed to be under a blanket of snow yet more snow continued to fall.Emma was walking down the road to the cafe, her hands stuffed deep into her coat pockets as she walked on the sidewalk, eyes looking at the window displays that were beautifully decorated with Christmas trees and presents. Some even had huge puppets of Santa. Emma smiled knowing she could afford to buy some decent presents this year. She wanted to give something very special to her brother. And for Mina, a dress probably. The additional money that she got with her paycheck was no less than a treasure for her and she's very relieved knowing she'd be able to tackle the expenses. However, deep down she's a bit unhappy and disturbed by the fact that her friends couldn't get the reward they deserved, especially Mina. She truly deserv
"You!" Kevin snapped and glanced up at her, a charming smile dancing on his lips seeing her standing there dumbfounded. Panic constricted her throat. Her? What does that mean? "I-I don't understand," she let out, voice not more than a whisper. She's still stunned by his words.No matter how handsome he was or how well he spoke, there was something unusually dark about him. Something about the way he looks at her. Something about the way he speaks and intimidates everyone around him. His aura exudes dominance. His eyes held hers. Distress stirred in her sparkling hazel.It was obvious she got what he meant but she looked tense rather than enthralled. Strange! Girls usually find this particular statement enticing. But then again, she was different. So very different. He had to take things slow."I want a bouquet for someone special," Kevin spoke again. His stare was intense, his voice confident. "Can you make it?"Emma let out a low breath and gulped down the panic that had consumed her
Small feet ran into the kitchen, gaining her attention. She looked back and saw her brother running around the table carrying the little ball of fur in his arms. "James slow down!" Emma cried out, a look of concern on her face but he didn't listen, apparently too excited to have a new friend. Putting her spatula on the kitchen island, she hurried toward him and stopped his marathon. James looked up at her, his breaths coming out short but a smile playing on his lips."It's fluffy!" Said James excitedly and nuzzled the puppy against his cheek.Emma glared at him and bent down."Give it to me," pulling the puppy out of his embrace, she gently put it on the kitchen island before bending down once again and picking her brother up."Stay here!" Said Emma a bit sternly as she sat him on the stool and hurried towards the fridge to fetch something nutritious for him."You are so so fluffy!" She heard James talking to the puppy but her concentration was solely on the shortness of his breaths.The
