Danielle's POV
My surprise echoed through the dimly lit room, the shadows playing tricks on my already blurred vision. Confusion and disorientation mingled with the remnants of alcohol in my system.
"What the fuck?" I exclaimed again, my tone a blend of astonishment and frustration. Her head spun, struggling to make sense of the unexpected stranger.
The room remained shrouded in semi-darkness, making it difficult to distinguish details. But amidst the dim light, a voice emerged from the shadows, gruff and filled with equal parts surprise and irritation. "Who the hell are you?"
"No, who the hell are you?" The man asked.
A sudden and brazen idea occured to me. Slowly I stood from the bed and walked towards the man slowly, trying to be as seductive as I could in my state. The man immediately caught me as I stumbled before him.
He grabbed my waist and brought me to the bed, setting me on it gently. "Look, I don't know who you are, but you're definitely drunk. You need to sleep it off."
"No, I don't." I murmured and grabbed his bare shoulders, pulling him forward till we were practically nose-to-nose. "Make me forget tonight."
I could feel his shaky, husky breath on my face. And without warning, he leaned down and pressed his lips against mine.
He tasted of whiskey and toothpaste, the weird blend making me even more horny and brazen than I already was. I was vaguely aware of his hands feeling their way around my body. The edges of my consciousness were still blurred by the effects of the drinks, and I tried to raise my head but couldn't. I felt like I was being held down by the gentle, yet powerful force of his body.
He forced his lips away from mine with a gasp, then went for the strap of my dress. Soon I felt the soft satin fabric of my dress slip from my body and his warm pair of hands cup my bare breasts. The hands began to knead gently, sensuously. I moaned in pleasure and squirmed, trying to get a stronger hold of my consciousness. His hands moved from my breasts to my nipples, rubbing them in soft, circular motions and I gasped, still reeling from the alcohol.
I felt my panties being pulled down my legs and I gently parted them to give him space. The stranger's hands gently stroked my crotch and all rational thought left me as a moan of bliss escaped my lips. The fingers moved from the outside and found my clit between the folds of skin, giving me stroke after stroke of pure pleasure. My back arched as the fingers dipped into my wet pussy, stroking once, twice, thrice as I sighed in pleasure.
The hands slid out of my pussy and I whimpered in protest, hearing a muffled groan and the sound of a zipper as if from far away. Soon I felt my knees being jerked upwards and a heavy weight in between my legs. Before I could gather my thoughts together, the weight was deep inside me.
I let out a groan that sounded distant as the weight tore through my virginity. A small stab of pain hit my lower belly but it was gone almost as soon as it came. I began to move involuntarily as the weight continued thrusting and pulling out again and again.
Our tempo increased, my hips moving with his as I clawed at the bedcovers in pleasure. In a matter of minutes, my body started to stiffen and quiver with building climax as the person continued to thrust. I held on to his shoulders, feeling all thought of Davis leave my head as I approached orgasm.
Soon the quivering reached an uncontrollable level and I heard myself scream out in pleasure, a sound that was strange and distant to my ears. The man on top of me began to let out groans of pleasure and I felt a rush of liquid leave my body, climaxing forcefully and gripping the bedcovers.
I was still panting, trying to slow my breathing and my thumping heart. My thoughts were all over the place. Wow… that was astounding. What was more, it had taken the edge off the pain and hurt I still felt from Davis' betrayal. I opened my eyes, or tried to, and winced at the sudden light. My vision was still blurry, and I tried to raise my head but was suddenly attacked by a splitting headache. I fell back and closed my eyes again, feeling the man shift beside me.
Before I could get my wits together, I felt the man's breath on my face. "Do you want to continue?" He murmured.
"Yes, please." I whispered. His strong hands turned me around on my face suddenly. His hands moved down, lightly touching my waist, my hips, and down my thighs to the back of my knees. With a deft motion the hands pushed my knees up higher, so that my behind was up in the air.
The weight I'd felt before was back again, between my legs and pressed against my lower back, and the hand traveled up again, over my thighs to my behind. He caressed my butt cheeks slowly, and then skimmed until his fingers came down between my legs. Long fingers began to dip in and out of my pussy, slowly massaging my clitoris till I was dripping wet and ready to go again.
I squeezed my eyes shut as the delicious pleasure coursed through me and tried to call out again, but could only release a soft moan. The man leaned down, his weight on me again, and grabbed my hair, holding my head firm.
And slowly he eased into me from behind, taking me slowly, slowly, until he was completely buried in me. Stretching me, delectable and relentless. I groaned loudly into the pillows and tried to raise my head again. The weight felt deeper this time, more pleasurable. I groaned again, and he deliberately circled his hips and pulled back, paused for a while, and then eased his way back in. His thrusting and pulling out increased in tempo and he let go of my hair forcefully, muttering fuck! over and over again.
I heard my butt cheeks slap together, amazed that my body could react like this. I began to tense again and I felt the man's body react the same way. My body convulsed uncontrollably as I came loudly, screaming in pleasure into the pillows. The man suddenly stiffened and moaned loudly, pouring himself into me as he had his own orgasm. He collapsed on top of me, his face in my hair.
“Damn." he whispered. He pulled out of me immediately and rolled over to the other side, leaving me to my scattered thoughts. I was so tired and drunk that I barely looked at the man on the bed beside me and rolled over too, so that my back was facing him. I sighed peacefully and hugged my legs close to my chest, utterly tired, and fell into a dreamless and exhausted sleep.
********
When I woke again, it was already bright. Sunlight filtered from the open window above me and I turned, then groaned in pleasure. The effects of the drink I'd had last night had worn off, to be replaced by a splitting headache.
I let out a sullen "Ugh!" and sat up, then looked around slowly. Like a tidal wave, the memories of the previous night came washing over me. My mind went in a loop, replaying the events over and over again.
The dance.
Davis and Annabelle.
The after-party.
The stranger in the room.
Fuck!
My eyes widened and I sprang from the bed, staring at the man who was sleeping peacefully on the other side. I suddenly became aware of just how naked I was, and what had happened betwern us the previous night.
I couldn't wrap my mind around it all.
I stared at the man: he definitely looked older than me, by five years if not more. And while he was heartbreakingly handsome—with the sunlight warming his face—I definitely wasn't planning my virginity to be taken in this manner..
Suddenly a clocked beeped four times and I glanced up. The time read: 11:00 a.m. Somewhere in my subconscious, I knew that something wasn't right. It took me several groping and introspection to realise that I had an appointment today.
Suddenly I sprang from where I stood and reached for my cell phone, which was on a nearby table. Heart thudding with fear, I turned the device on and checked my notifications.
My alarm had gone off four times already, telling me to prepare for my scholarship exams.
With trembling fingers, I opened the notes app on my phone, then scrolled down to when my exams was supposed to start.
It was due by eight a.m.
I'd missed my scholarship exams!
Danielle's POV I was numb for several minutes. Thousands of thoughts ran through my head. The room was silent, too silent. I could hear the rapid sound of my heartbeat. I blinked hard, coming slowly into realization. How? Why? How!!! I slapped my palm on my head. Looking around, I took the off-white fluffy duvet that was on the ground and wrapped it around my body. Perhaps I could still make it. If I get there and beg them, give them a suitable excuse for not being punctual… I looked around and found my dress scattered around the room. I could feel the tears fall to the surface of my eyes. I cannot miss my exams! I need the scholarship. To think I did this… I shook my head and walked around to pick up my dress. Passing through an aluminum door, I found my way to the bathroom and dressed up. What if I never get to do the exams and forfeit the scholarship? Forfeit? My skin prickled at the mere thought of missing my scholarship. It was almost midday and…hush. I ran my fingers th
Danielle's POVI pretended like I heard nothing but pretending was hard. Her words were true. She called the man Jack, I didn't even get his name. Isabelle left me when Davis entered the class. That was a relief. Isabelle and Davis kept hugging each other, his hands resting on her hips. He used to hold me that way once upon a time.I didn't make any eye contact with him. It was enough that I was going through emotional damage. Touching a healing scar would make it bleed.I tried not to think about Davis and his new girlfriend, they were the talk of the school and I am painted as the loser. I took my music book from my locker."Bitch!" I was startled by Clara's taunting voice. "Why did you do that? You scared me, Clara. I didn't see you in economics class. Where were you?""I promised that we would see the movies today. I had to make preparations. I don't want you dragging your... ""D, you sound great. I love the way you are holding up.""Clara, don't change the topic. Why weren't yo
Danielle's POV "D, what did you do?" Clara retorted. My hands trembled, my thoughts crumbled. I collected the strip from her and read it through, perhaps she was mistaken. "Clara, it is probably fake. I just have the flu. It's…probably…just..it has to be the flu or malaria or fever or something. I can't be pregnant!" Clara sat on the bed as I patrolled my room. Remembering the handsome figure I had slept with and also losing my scholarship…I already thought I was done with that and I have put it behind me. "What did you do that I didn't know about D?" I've never heard Clara speak so softly. She clapped her hand on my shoulders facing me. " There's no other way around it D, wake up! What did you do?" I sat down and looked at Clara with worry written all over my face. She wasn't as furious as I expected her to be. I was scared. One. Two. I breathed deep and resisted the urge to…to…Christ, I was running insane. I have destroyed my life, what is left? Nothing. "Danielle. Calm down.
Danielle's POV I disliked the man immediately. We went back home without saying anything to each other. I poured myself a cup of coffee with three brown sugar cubes. I rested on my table and looked at Clara who was still smiling at whatever ludicrous thought she was having. I arched a tawny brow. "When would it stop?" "Huh?" "What has gotten into you? Did the man put some sort of charm in your eyes? You haven't been normal Clara. He looks way older than you are, I hope you know that. I can't even recognize you anymore." "It's love at first sight D. Did you see his shoulders? His firm jaw. Underneath those clothes, I'm sure there are some jaw-dropping muscles. He's tall and he smells nice. He has beautiful choices of words and he knows how to approach. Damn! Let's stroll out again." "Hell no. Argh. Whatever." I turned to drink my coffee and fought the anger simmering inside me. It's a good thing she found someone in her life. Humph, I shouldn't let Davis get into my head. She was
Danielle's POVI sat silently and brought out my history textbook on the table. The intention wasn't to read but to avoid Davis and his girlfriend. I didn't want to see them at all. Their presence makes my skin itch."Hi Danielle, you look like you're reading. Let me see, hmm, perhaps reading would make Davis like you back.""Don't touch my things!" I yelled and yanked my textbook off her hand. She laughed and went away, Interlocking her arm with Davis whom I did my best not to look at."She couldn't even get to see his face," she said aloud, making the whole class laugh. I didn't mind it. I sighed heavily and started my school activities like I used to.Concentrate, don't look back, write and understand. The aim was to move on from Davis and besides, I have a lot to think about at the moment. One of which is my stomach and how it hurts.My body system just seems off. Perhaps I was purging, I needed to use the restroom. Just as I was about to stand up and leave, Mrs came into the clas
Danielle's POVDisrespect in my parents' name? I would never allow that. I may not love them so much because I never got to meet them but hearing someone bring it up and say all the shit about them pushed me to the wall.Isabelle held her face, I'm sure she'd have broken some cheekbones. Her cheek was red, and she was sniffing in no time. I held out my index finger and pointed it at her nose."Don't you ever, ever mention my parents from those filthy mouths of yours. Next time, you won't be able to keep that precious face of yours."She was crying, acting like a Barbie girl and it gave me joy to see her in pain. I twisted a finger in the air to signal Clara that I was leaving. She packed her bags and followed me.I have never felt so proud of myself. People paved the way for me as I passed, leaving them all surprised. I was surprised myself, I never thought I could do that. Let's call it…reflex."Dude, that was crazy. Did you see what you did back there? You were like; you have no rig
Danielle's POV Peace, how would I have peace? It's been a few days since my classmates found out I was pregnant and the gossip and whispers I have been hearing kept on haunting me. "Isn't she ashamed?" "No wonder Davis left her…" "Slutty…" I have been trying to get these words out of my chest but they were stuck to me like hair and skin. The days became harder and I have been creating more awareness than I thought I was. The whole school knows about it now and my reading time has expired. I spent my day thinking about the baby that was growing in my stomach. It's still a few weeks, or a month until I can abort. But the whole school knows about it already, they would start another questioning where the baby went. Then I'll be called a killer, besides, where did I put my faith? " Why didn't you go to school today D? You have decided not to tell me things about you anymore." Gramps came to sit with me on the sofa. I closed the book in front of me, I knew fully well that I wasn't
Danielle's POV I hurled up to my room and stood my bag upright. I stood in front of the mirror. The lady in the mirror looked back at me. Extravagance in getting eyes and happiness in her heart. One day, I would be happy again. "I should change my dress, I said to myself. I have no idea where I am headed, nor do I know if it would be a better place. I took my bag and went downstairs. I found Gramps on the old grandma's rock chair. It's just stories I heard from him, I don't know if they are true. What choice do I have? He was smoking on his stick again. "Pa, I told you to quit smoking. Do you want to die earlier than you should?" He dropped the smoke and smiled at me. His smile was getting rather too much. "I should have died a very long time ago. I see you are all set. I called her and she accepted. I told you she would." I sat on the arm of the sofa. "Are you going to allow me to go? You are not one to allow me to do things the way I want them to. Whenever I told you I wanted
