13 Part_13 Asking her out...

Flashback

"Hello, baby girl missed me?''

''Just let me go...I want my parents....I want to go home...Please"

''You know, good girls don't argue...Aren't you a good girl"

'' Yes, Yes I am a good girl, I...I.....I will be.....a good girl.....please at least let me come out of this room.....it's so dark in here....Please"

''You know what that is what you get for being a bad girl and not act accordingly....''

I felt his hand on my shoulders

" NO, DON'T TOUCH ME!''

''Stupid bitch! I was here to give you a damn food but looks like you need some more days to understand.....you're not getting any food today "

''No.....please don't go it's so cold in here....I don't feel so good...I want my mom.....I will not tell her anything.....not a word about you.....Please don't leave me here....sometimes I feel something near my foot which bites me...."

'' Oh! So now our little princess wants to feel like a princess, si?''

She felt a slap on my left cheek because of the impact it made her to fall on a floor with a thud, her little consciousness was flowing away little by little, Vision becoming blurry....she felt a hand on her thigh dragging her skirt up...

''Noooooooooooo!"

She kicked him by each drop of consciousness she felt in her almost numb body.

'' Ah.....Puttana"

She felt a kick her stomach which made her spit out some blood

'' I am going ton ruin you" it was last few words that she had heard before a dark cloud of darkness consumed her.

End of flashback

Pearl's POV

When I woke up I was in my bed. It was almost morning. A beautiful morning after a dark stormy night, that thing made me realised that those events were from my past they are not going to happen next time or anytime in the future, I will never let it. Despite of very cold weather my clothes were sweaty.....

It was still dark outside as it was just 5:00a.m. From my window I could see some movements outside. There weren't much people but nature was thriving vigorously so fresh after that stormy dark night. Nature I don't know even that word has so much power hidden inside of it. Nature- a primitive state of existence, uninfluenced by civilization or social constraints, The essence of every living thing. So beautiful and powerful that even after destroying every bit of it,it burgeons even more beautifully after. It was always been a source of my motivation.

Thinking about that made me recall occurrence of last night I felt defeated, how could I be so weak that I let that happen? he was the drunk one not me and I let that happen....but it wasn't like I hadn't felt anything, he wasn't molesting me contemplating a fact that I somehow enjoyed it regardless the previous incidents with my boss. That thing was wrong, I let my guard down. This shouldn't...mustn't happen again. But that kiss had so much feeling inside it whenever I closed my eyes that image of him kissing me pressing me to that castle wall came to mind. Whatever he even will not remember anything from last night...so should I. It was a mistake...a bloody mistake that won't happen again.

Fertilizing my house plants as I hadn't fertilized them since I came back I got busy in my day to day routine. I had to wear some dark coloured pants feeling most probability of getting my periods today.....fucking periods...I paired it navy blue heels with a blue shirt and a garter belt to add some drama. Felling ready I made my way to my route to a bus stand.

I was feeling highly strung once I reached to my office I was on time everything was perfect like everyday except my heart. I heard some movements in Mr. Blake's office. So he's here now. And now my heart was doing some jumping thing.

Today I brought some Italian coffee with me felling whatever kind of person he was he shouldn't drink that expensive poop coffee. Completing that flower design and even though it felt a large weight on my chest I made my way towards his office. Knocking twice I heard his voice

'' Come in''

'' I brought you your coffee sir" He looked tired still in yesterday's clothing, he had bags under his eyes and his eyes were red like he hadn't had any sleep last night

The image of him and Miss. Brown popped in to my mind Mr. Blake kissing like he kissed me yesterday or taking her to his penthouse. My mind was showing me anything that could happen between a handsome rich man and a supermodel like looking women. All the weight I was feeling that doubled in a fraction of second.

He looked me from top to bottom making me tingle all the places his eyes roamed. All I could think of was his lips on me as I made my way towards his table.

(Fredrico: Get a grip girl, he was with another girl the whole night and all you could think was the kiss that he shared with you?)

I handed him a cup filled with my Italian coffee. He took it and sipped coffee rolling his eyes back and closing them for like a minute or so...he was relaxing....he looked even hot when he did that making me hot and bothered. This man had some serious effect on me...I have to do something about that....the fact that he relaxed drinking my coffee made me feel better somewhat...but like every good moments that also didn't last long....his eyes fluttered open with those icy expression.

''Miss. Williams what are you looking at don't you need to work?''

(What!? Not a word on my coffee, did he even notice that it tasted different? Drunk Asshole!)

"Sure. Sir" It almost sounded panic

I turned around and rushed to the door I collided with someone like it was ensuring newton's third law ' For every action there is equal and opposite reaction' I felt backwards but the impact never came, Was Newton wrong?......(fluttering her eyes open)I came in sight of warm blue eyes looking at me with concern. It was Ian...who was holding me with the same expression like yesterday's....he was looking at me like the way I look at my plants blooming. I heard some noises like someone coughing....Oh! so Mr. Blake has got sore throat as well...

'' Are you alright?"

" I am...." Mr. Blake said in the middle" She looks perfectly fine to me Ian..it would be better if you let her walk on her own.."

" I am fine Ian, really!....." tension was increasing in the room" I should go there is so much work left...."

I was about to leave the room when Ian questioned "Dude did you got laid last night? there is something on your neck is that a hickey?...there's also something on you collar too"

My eyes fell on his neck area where Ian was describing his previous problem. My anger risen confirming the detail, It wasn't a hickey but a dark pink lipstick mark. Mr. Blake's eyes met mine but feeling not wanted I made my way to mine office. My feet dragged to wash room even though I didn't had any intension in going there. My reflection looked like I was ready to kill someone. There I felt something the reason behind my subconscious movements, I had got my periods. Hopefully the stain wasn't that visible in my panties. Fuck! I again forgot my bag in my office. Now it would feel similar to walk of shame.

My thought were only on the lipstick stain. How can't he notice that? It is highly unprofessional for him walking around in his office with some lipstick stain on him and even not changing clthes from yesterday.....I felt like killing that girl...bitch!

(Fredrico: Someone's got a rough night, Umm, Pearl What was the lipstick shade you had worn yesterday?

Me: It was beetroot pink...)

Oh my god! It was my lipstick stain.

At the time I was feeling happy and sad at the same time and emotion had already got me confused. Even I was happy then why was I feeling happiness? Or sad then why it? I didn't had any right to feel this way...crap!

Some voices were coming out of his office, I made my way directly to my office as I had no intention to ruin my favourite pair of lingerie. Luckily, I had enough tampons for the day. I was mentally struggling about the fragrance of tampon I wanted today when the door opened with a bang showing Mr. Blake with Ian following him.

They both were looking at my hands like I was sitting in the room where a bomb was about to blast in few seconds. What are they looking at?

..... It hit me after sometime that I was holding different fragrant tampons on both the hand sitting on my desk with my purse open and many of them on my desk as I accidently tore the package. Could this day get any more embarrassing? Oh, Fuck...In a swift movement my door banged closed the way it had opened.

(Fredrico: Hmmmm......That was new!)

I stayed away from them both for most of time unless it was some very important work. Finishing my work I was about to make my way to cafeteria when I heard Ian's voice in the corridor.

" Hey, Going for lunch?"

"Yeah, wanna join?''

"Well, I can't say no to a lady. " There was a awkward silence between us "How was your day?''

" It was quite productive" from inside I was drained these pain and mood swings were making me a worst version of myself

" Yeah, it was"

Many stares were on our way considering that I was walking with their boss.Taking our food we went for the table near the large window. I could see busy streets of London from here. Red double decker buses running on the streets.....surprisingly it was sunny day....all those dark clouds had vanished in horizontal sky.....

" I was saying....uhmmmm...so what was I saying is...." He looked very uncomfortable

" What happened? Are you okay?''

''Yeah, Nothing to worry about...actually, I wanted to ask you that....you know....uh...would you like to go....I mean would you like to have a dinner with me?"

His warm blue eyes had uncertainty and hope inside it.

" Uhhh .." I was clearly caught off guard by his question, never in my life had I ever thought that Ian Blake will ask me out just after  3 times meeting........Was I dreaming? I thought he was just my friend....Clearly he was hot but I never had a thought of him and me....

"No need to come if you don't want to....."

(Fredrico: You can't do that he has done so much for you, now it's your turn

Me: My be he's just asking me to have a dinner)

" No, it wasn't like that it's just confusing....are you asking...let's be clear, Okay!....are you asking me out or you're just inviting me to have a dinner?"

" I actually wanted to ask you on a date but it turned out to have a dinner.....I liked you since your interview.....I was going to ask you yesterday but I couldn't find for you anywhere since Xavier dragged you out...So, Miss. Williams would you like to go out on a date with me?"

He asked offering me a hand. Something started to ring furiously making me break hypnotizing effect of his eyes.

It was Mr. Blake, why would he need me in this hour....it was his lunch break time? I don't recall saving his number by his name...At this moment I was literally sandwiched between two of them....Ian did a sign to pick up the phone, I picked up it immediately.

" Miss. Williams,in my office right now" even before I could say anything he hung up on me. I never liked anyone talking to me like that but at that moment I can't be any more grateful to Mr. Blake. It was too much going on for me to handle.....

"umm... Ian it was Mr. Blake he needs me in his office right now, looks like some important thing has came up" Ian nodded like he had assume a long time ago that will be my answer.

"You should go..."

He got up from the table and made his way towards lift not even looking at my direction.

"Ian, I will answer you tomorrow if that's right for you? " His shoulder rise to his regular posture as he turned the shine of his eyes came back with a breathtaking smile.

" Be quick, I am not a patient man" he said kissing a back of my hand, It felt strange...both of them had an effect on me but the feeling was different for both of them. People were looking at our direction making a mental note to gossip about that.

"Okay, Mr. Impatient I am looking forward to meet you tomorrow"

"Bye"

The problem was solved for now but what am I going to do tomorrow?

'' You needed me sir?"

"You're late" he said looking through his files "I just wanted to talk about the incident from previous night ''

My heart started to pump furiously but he was only looking for something in his file like that thing didn't affect him a bit.

"Oh! About that...." Heat risen to my cheeks

'' Yes, that shouldn't happen again. Are we clear?" He never looked at my way

Even before I could understand what just happened he got up and left me on the middle of his office.
