I was going to meet my sister Tessa in her office. She works as secretary to the CEO of genesis builders- one of the top most construction companies of the country. Her office is situated in one of the tallest buildings in the City. The building used to be really crowded even at odd hours. I have taken a day off only to meet her as I haven’t met her since she moved to live with her long time boyfriend Kevin Petersen who is an emerging model. My mom and Dad were against the relationship as both of them believed in a relationship after marriage. For them s*x before marriage was just a sin.
I chose to visit her after 11:00 a.m. as I thought the crowd would be less in these hours. There were 3 elevators in the building and the office was on the 21st floor. When I reached the two elevators were already full and it was going up. I wondered why there was no one standing before the third elevator. Elevator number 3 was not moving as it was on the 22nd floor as indicated since I came. No one dared to press the button of that elevator. I was immersed in my own thoughts when I noticed that one of the elevators had come down and people had started to get in. I rushed through the people so that I wouldn't miss this time.
The elevator reached the 21st floor. I stepped out and walked in the direction of my sister’s office. In the past, I have visited here only once but I didn't notice elevator number 3 at that time. I was with my family then who came here just to see my sister’s office as she had got the job recently. I introduced myself at the reception and waited for my sister at the visitor's launch. She came to me almost running and took me into a tight hug. We were more like friends than sisters. It’s only when she moved out, did I realise how much I loved her. She said that she too felt the same thing and that’s why I came here to meet her. We were really happy to see each other.
She took me to her cabin and made coffee for both of us and we sat down on the sofa in her cabin. I wondered why there is a sofa in her cabin; after all she is just a secretary. From my startled look she understood my thoughts. So she clarified my doubt that it is a gift from Kevin- her boyfriend who insisted that my sister should have a comfortable space to relax when she feels tired from work. Kevin personally took permission from the CEO to put the sofa in her cabin and for that he signed a modelling contract with the company on a low p*****t. I felt happy for my sister as she had found a good partner. We had a nice chat after a long time. After spending nearly an hour with my sister I stood up to take her leave. I hugged her and waved goodbye. She stopped me as I was going to open the door and said.
“Ria, I think you must also move on in your life. You have achieved what you wished. Now you should enjoy your life and find a perfect match. Little sister it's better soon than late”
I smiled at her nodding my head in an approving manner and took her leave. Walking towards the elevator, I was thinking about my 24 years of life. I never had any boyfriend, not even a crush. I was so immersed in my studies that I never felt the need for a partner. So even at the age of 24 I am still a virgin with the remark of having not even my first kiss.
When I reached the elevator, there stood a huge crowd waiting to go down. I wondered how long it would take me to get a chance to get into the elevator. It was sure that it would take more than an hour. Suddenly my eyes swept to the third elevator which was still on the 22nd floor. It is the floor just above. If I just took the stairs up to the next floor I could get that elevator. Without any second thought I took the stairs up to the 22nd floor. I wondered why there was no one on that floor waiting for the elevator. I could see the third elevator. There was a tall man getting into the third elevator. I rushed to the elevator in time before it closed. I was breathing hard and didn’t notice that there was no one except for the tall man.
Elevator door closed after me. Taking a deep breath I turned around and saw two deep blue eyes staring at me. There were no emotions on his face. He looks so cold. His eyes were colder than ice. He was wearing a three piece suit which exactly fitted his muscular body. He was a man every girl would love to be with. I gave him a slight smile and turned back facing the door. I could see his reflection in the door. I felt uncomfortable as I saw he was staring at me. He was so tall that I had to raise my head high to look into his face. I wondered if we stood side to side my head would barely reach his shoulders. Suddenly the elevator stopped with a jerk. I was afraid as I was alone with that tall man. I tried to comfort myself that everything will be okay and not to panic. With another jerk, the lights went off and I lost my balance and fell backwards and hit something hard. I realized that two hands were now holding my shoulders and I was stunned for a second when I realised that the hard thing I hit was his chest. I gathered myself and stood away from him.
I was starting to curse myself for getting into the elevator. To my relief the elevator started with another jerk. I can see in the reflection on the door that the man was still staring at me. I watched the numbers going down and now it’s on the 11th floor when suddenly the man pulled me towards him. His one hand was holding my hand and with the other he held it at the nape of my neck and pulled my head up and kissed me. Something went through my whole body as if a thunder struck me. By the time I realized what was happening and tried to pull him away, he pushed me back to the wall of the elevator and pinned my hands with his one hand. The kiss was so hard and intense that I could tell my panties were wet. I could also feel his core becoming hard against my body. I was starting to suffocate because of the loss of air when he pulled away from me. I stood dumbstruck and didn’t notice that the doors were already open and a lot of people were staring in my direction.
Without a word he stepped out of the elevator and walked away. I stood there unaware of my surroundings and didn't notice the cameras now focusing on me. It took me several minutes to compose myself. I can’t believe how a complete stranger could forcefully take my first kiss. Now, I noticed a man with a camera and he was surely taking my pictures. I wanted to run behind the tall man who was now getting inside a luxurious car but I was unable to move. Somehow I composed myself and walked towards my car and got inside and drove towards my home.
I came back to my home and was still in shock. Seeing me my mom said
“You are back honey, come on let's have lunch”
I was not feeling hungry not because I didn't need food but because I had lost my appetite. I excused myself that I was not feeling well and I had a headache. I asked my mom not to disturb me and that I would like to have a sound sleep. I took some snacks and a bottle of juice and got into my room. I stayed in my room for the rest of the day.
Next morning I was woken up buy loud bang on my door. I heard my dad's shout and mom's yelling. I was perplexed at first. I took my phone to see the time and it was already eight in the morning. I got out of the bed and opened the door. My dad was standing there holding a newspaper. When he saw me he threw the newspaper on my face and shouted at me
“How dare you disgrace our family name? You shameless creature, why do you call yourself a virgin when you are doing such things in public? Because of you society will now spit on us.”
Reviving from the shock I took the newspaper lying on the floor and flipped it. In the front page there is the headline
‘Mr. Cooper kisses the mystery girl: GF or mistress'
Under the headline there was a photograph of the tall man in the elevator kissing me. I read the news and I am startled by the way it portrayed me as his mistress and has done my character assassination brutally. I couldn’t withstand the news and fell down on my knees. My mom came to me and held me tightly. I was crying hard and seeing me in such a condition, my dad got emotional and hurried towards me. My parents helped me to the drawing room and made me sit down on the sofa. They let me cry my heart out till I was completely composed. I knew they were giving me time so I could explain to them what happened. I had composed myself and was going to tell my parents about yesterday when the front door opened and my sister Tessa and brother Robin came in. Tessa seemed to be happy while Robin looked tense.
When they all sat comfortably I recalled everything that happened yesterday. Hearing everything, mom scolded me about why I didn’t tell her yesterday. Dad wanted to file a suit against Mr. Cooper with charges of molestation. My brother opposed it. He had recently joined one of the firms of the Cooper family as a trainee and was on probation. If we file a suit against Cooper then it will affect his career. Mom was terrified hearing this. My sister on the other hand took this in a positive way and told me to attract the media and say she is Mr. Cooper’s girlfriend. No, I don't want to be associated with that man. I was totally confused. It's now about my family’s name. I didn't know what to do. I felt helpless.
