Angel By Day Devil By Night

Chapter3

Last night I haven’t slept a wink, it was hard with all the past memories rushing to head. I tried my best to block them out but I wasn’t winning. I pushed my body out of bed still feeling tired, my whole body was sore and to top it off I was hungry. I didn’t get a chance to have dinner last night, I was too upset to eat anything. I dragged my feet to the bathroom to take a shower, oh! how I wish there was a bathtub installed. I needed to soak my whole body into warm water. But still the shower worked its magic and I felt a little bit better.

I moisturized my body then put on my clothes, grabbed my books, locked the door and headed to school. I took a taxi there since the motel was far from the school. Last night I had a shift at this five star restaurant I’m working at part time. I was too upset about the whole situation that I didn’t call in sick or something. I haven’t even told Collin, I just wanted to be alone. I knew if I told him, he would have drove to the motel last night. I need to find a proper place asap, a motel is not a place to live. I also need to call my manager and apologize before I loose my job.

Now I need my job more than ever. How am I going to pay rent if have no job. Next week we are starting with practical at Netcare Milpark hospital, is one of the high rated hospitals in Johannesburg. So I don’t need distractions, I really need to find a place soon. I arrived at school and I was welcomed by a very spectacular view, Mr hot socks leaning on a very sleek car. It was a Bentley, wow not just super handsome! But crazy rich also. I walked passed him hoping he won’t recognize me as the mentally ill girl from the other day.

“Lerato" I had him calling my name. What?, he also knows my name. My hopes crumbled the moment he addressed me by my name. I turned looking back at him, I didn’t hide my annoyance. “How do you know my name?.” I asked with a frown on my face. “There’s nothing special about your name little one.” I flinched to his words, I don’t even know why I was hurt by his remarks. I'm used to people talking to me however they wanted, but with him I don’t know what got me all so worked up. “ If you don’t have anything better to say sir… I’ll take my leave.” Having said  that I turned to leave, but I didn’t get far when a large masculine hand pulled me to a rock hard chest. I gasped smelling that infamous cologne so closely.

“Get in the car Mia Bella.” The only words I understood were “get in the car.” I obediently got in the car without any hustle and to be honest I felt stupid when the car took off. “Where are you taking me?.” I was starting to feel nervous. “Shouldn’t you have asked that question before you got in the car?.” He was right but I was not going to tell him that. “Hey! You need to take me back, I have to go take my friend from school and start finding a place for me to stay.” I said remembering I’m homeless. “You are homeless?.” He asked with a frown on his face. “Yes, I am.” I answered him in a duh tone.

“I can offer you a place to stay!, my condo is unoccupied right now. You can stay there.” Is he for real? Do I look like someone who can afford a condo in their rich elite neighbourhood. “Thanks but no thanks, I can’t afford it.” I said looking out the window. We were now in a real elite neighbourhood, what are we doing here. I said that to myself. “You don’t have to worry about rent, you can stay for free.” I wanted to believe that, but people like him knows nothing about giving. They take and take until they milk you dry. He’s rich, arrogant and his eyes tells a million stories. I can see a pure devil behind those beautiful rims he got in his sockets.

I was about to deny his offer when he came to a halt near a very expensive looking building. He got out of the car and came to my door to open it for me, wow I didn’t know he can be gentleman. He took my hand into his and we walked to where I believe is his condo he was talking about. Everything was happening so fast and I couldn’t open my mouth to resist or take my hand out of his. His hand felt like home and I couldn’t build the strength to pull my hand. It felt normal to walk beside this man with his hand in mine. I’m seriously ill in my head to feel whatever I’m feeling for this man.

The lift opened at the top floor, the first floor was nothing compared to this floor. “How rich are you?.” I didn’t realize I asked that out loud. “ I’m filthy rich Mia Bella.” He looked mouth watering uttering those words. Geez! What is wrong with me?, now I’m drooling over my kidnapper!!!.  Yeah I know I was exaggerating  but he kind of kidnapped me. He opened the last door on the floor and gestured me to get inside. This place was for famous people, I can’t possibly live here!. Everything screamed ‘don’t touch me, I’m expensive.’ I can’t even begin to describe the beauty of this place.

“Welcome home Mia Bella.” He said it, as if  it wasn’t a bigger deal. “I can’t stay here, you should stay with your wife and kids here. No I can’t live here.” I was shaking my head when I denied his offer. “You are so stupid! You know that?” He said from behind me, I could feel his hot breath fanning on my neck. My body froze from that sensation I was feeling when he came very close to me. Oh no god! I’m not planning to loose my virginity to this man, I need to resist him asap or else I’ll be telling a different story the next day.

As if God was hearing my prayers, someone knocked at the door. I thought no one stayed here, I thought to myself. He took long strides to the door, his face looked like he was going to kill whoever was on the other side of the door. He opened the door and in walked an old man who looked like he was at his early fifties. He was pushing in two traveling bags that looked exactly like mine. “Leave them over there Chris.” He said pointing near a bedroom door. The old man whom I just known as Chris left but not before smiling genuinely at me, and I reciprocated.

“That’s called invasion of privacy! How dare you?” I said suddenly gathering the courage to yell at him. He didn’t say anything like he would always, I expected a clap back from him but he kept mum. His eyes were like a raging tempest. He stalked towards me eating my whole body with his eyes. I felt my body reacting to his piercing stares, my throat felt dry. I needed something to quench my thirst, maybe I needed him! I don’t know, I can’t think straight when he’s so close to me.

He held my waist while rubbing them with his thumbs, I was wet between my legs. Before a moan could escape my lips, he captured them with his. The kiss was slow and full of passion, my hands as if on auto drive they wrapped around his neck going into his soft hair and I was lost in the moment. Then my stomach growled reminding me I ate nothing last night till now.
