Freiah stood and was stilled with the unfamiliar surroundings for her. Her body shivers looking at the men and women inside drinking, dancing, flirting and some are even having s*x on the dark side of the room. Some are even on the couch. For a moment, Freiah was thinking of backing out. But seeing some couples dancing sweetly even if the music was rock made her heart ache. So she quickly brought herself to the counter trying to ignore those men’s stares that made her feel uncomfortable.
“Give me a glass of pinot noir,” Freiah said. She didn’t even know what pinot noir looks like. She only heard it from her sister before. Upon remembering her sister Brieanna and her Boyfriend Nicolo’s betrayal, Freiah’s eyes watered again. Her pain that she’s the only one knows is slowly consuming her. All she wants now is to get the pain out of her system or worse, to die. Frieah can only see the bartender looking at her intensely. But later on, the man gave her a reassuring smile. The man faced the bottles of liquor. It didn’t take him a long time before he faced Freiah while holding the glass with liquor on it. And without hesitation and further ado, Freiah took the glass and drank it bottom’s up.
“Oh . . . oooh!” With her teary eyes, Freiah felt like choking, tasting it for the first time. ‘Damn it! It tastes weird, but overall it’s good.’ Freiah smiled thinking about how the liquor tastes. She doesn’t have the idea of the wine’s nature being fruitier and lighter, which is good for beginners, and it suits her.
“Thank you. I need another glass of it, please.” Then the man handed her another glass of the same wine. While having it, Freiah tightly gripped her shoulder bag, thinking how she would pay for it. When she was about to stand, she could already feel that there’s something off about her. Frieah had only two glasses of wine, but she already feels like the world is spinning around her. So she subconsciously holds onto the counter to keep herself steady. Minutes have passed when the dizziness she felt was now accompanied by heat, which made her even more uncomfortable. She can only see the bartender with his dog’s smile while looking at her. Fear can be seen on Freiah’s face when she realizes that things won’t go well for her if she still stays here.
“Can I pay for your drink, my lady?” Someone asked her. Freiah can smell the man’s annoying tobacco breath when the man suddenly grabbed her waist that made their face almost an inch away.
“No, thank you. I can pay for it!” Freiah angrily said while pushing the man away, who’s now shamelessly moving his hand down to her leg. But instead of letting her go, the man came closer to her ear.
“I know you liked it,” Freiah’s body shivered when she heard the shameless man’s words. So she quickly gathered all her remaining strength and hardly pushed the man away.
“Ahhh!” Freiah can see how the man directly fell from the high stool down to the cold hard floor.
“You dared, b***h!” The man’s eyes almost puff out while pointing at Freiah. Looking around, Freiah can feel her body shaking, seeing those men with huge bodies making their way towards them.
‘God! Please help me!’ While silently praying, Freiah tried to look around, looking for help. But she got more scared, seeing nobody cares about her situation, that it seems like this scene is common to them.
So before they could even get near her. Freiah removed her unbalanced heels and quickly made her way out of the chaotic place.
“f**k! Grab that b***h, you idiots!”
‘God! Please help me. Please, even just for this time.’ Frieah can only silently pray. Hearing the loud, angry voice of the man she pushed made her steps even quicker. Her hopes lit up, seeing she’s getting nearer to the exit. But she was taken aback when two men with huge bodies blocked the way. Freiah immediately looks for another way. She ran aimlessly, and she was running like she was in a marathon with no direction. She was beyond desperate. So she knocked and was trying to open every door that she could see. Her wobbly legs and aching head are now killing her. The only thing that keeps her sane is her will to survive. “I don’t deserve this,” Freiah said while tears fell from her cheeks.
“click!” When she heard the sound of the unlocking door, She hurriedly made her way inside the room without thinking of any danger waiting for her inside. Freiah was leaning on the door, making sure that those people who were chasing her were no longer around.
“s**t! Our boss is going to kill us if we cannot find that woman!”
“I know, you try to check in there, and I’m gonna look for her on the other side.”
Hearing the footsteps slowly fading, Freiah held her chest and was crazily and silently crying because of happiness. But it’s only for a short time. Heat and discomfort came rushing to her body.
“Augh . . . God!” She mumbled. Feeling the mixed dizziness and heat from her body. It makes her squirm, even the slightest movement she makes. Frieah couldn’t understand how strangely her body reacts to everything. She leaned on the wall, panting.
“s**t! Why is it so hot here?” Freiah took her jeans off, thinking it might ease the heat. But to her disappointment, the heat became even stronger.
“Oh, why is it st—”
“Who are you?”
Freiah jolted out when she heard the man’s baritone voice. It was so dim that she couldn’t even distinguish where the voice was coming from. But thinking she’s with a man, she should be afraid, she’s naked and with a man, but she felt excitement instead.
The man aggressively grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.
‘God, he smells so good.’ Freiah was no longer thinking straight. All she wants is to ease the heat that she is feeling right now.
“Uhm . . . you smell so good, Mr,” Freiah mumbled as she leaned closer to the man’s hard chest. She was rubbing her leg into the man’s trousers while her hand slowly moved into the man’s abdomen.
“Please, help me, I’m feeling so hot . . .” Freiah desperately mumbled, living kisses on the man’s chest.
A smile crept on Freiah’s lips when the man grabbed her in the waist.
“Vanessa . . .”
