Nina woke up to the sensation of someone touching her face gently. Her heart skipped a beat as she dazedly thought to herself,
'Could it possibly be Jay?', She was about to experimentally open her eyes when she heard him whisper in her ears.
"You are mine now.... Mine... Just mine!", He whispered with obsession as he caressed her face adoringly.
She was startled at the voice and If she wasn't afraid of being found out, her face would have shown the deep shock she felt in her heart!
'It was Tyson!', and if she wasn't mistaken she heard obsession in his tone. Yes, it was obsession! Then it all came back to her; his call to her and then he came over to pick her up. They later went on a leisurely drive while engaging in small talk and mid-way through, he offered her a bottled fruit juice which she drank because she was really thirsty at that point in time, then..... blank.
She remembered nothing after that which could only mean.... She was drugged! and by relating that to the crazy obsession in his voice, She had been possibly kidnapped! Holy sh*t!!
She was about to continue in her line of thought when she felt his breath coming closer, well, closer to her mouth.
The b*stard wanted to kiss her! The nerve of him! Seconds before his lips landed firmly on hers, a resounding smack was heard in the room!
Tyson jumped back as he stared incredulously at the irate woman on his bed while he touched his stinging cheeks.
'When had she woken up?', He inwardly thought to himself in alarm. He had planned on taking it slowly and let her get used to his existence but he couldn't hold himself back when he saw his beloved woman lying so peacefully on the bed.
Regardless of what he had been thinking now, A suave smile emerged on his face as he asked in a doting tone acting like he wasn't the person who tried kissing her just now and failed.
"When did you wake up? You should be hungry already, right? What would you like to eat?"
However, Nina just stared without expression at him and showed no reaction to his words.
Ty began to feel self-conscious under her focused gaze and his mouth opened to say something to alleviate the strangerss in the room but she interrupted him before he could say anything.
"Did you kidnap me?", She asked in a frosty voice while she fervently wished in her heart that he would say no. She had trusted the man in front of her so much that she didn't want to, not even for a moment believe that he could do something like that.
Ty went to sit on a couch which was two steps away from the bed before he answered in a laid-back manner.
"Yeah, I did."
Nina's heart and face both turned a shade colder at the way he remained composed which I revealed that he obviously didn't think he had done anything wrong. This attitude of his made her both enraged and sad at the same time.
"You dare?! How dare you! I have always trusted you as a close friend and even though six years had passed, that hasn't changed. How could you betray my faith in you this way?"
Ty became particularly agitated at her words as he stood up angrily and faced her directly.
"Friend? Trust? I wanted none of that! What I wanted was you, just you! Who the hell wants to be your f*cking friend?!"
Still, Nina felt no fluctuation in her emotions as she listened to his heartfelt words and instead looked at the man in front of her with coldness in her eyes while suddenly finding him laughable.
Six years ago, she fell in love with this hardworking student who worked multiple jobs to pay for his tuition and to take care of his sick mother. She was already a somewhat hot model back then in college but she never minded it when she befriended him. She always followed him to his part-time jobs since then and dragged Selena who had always been reluctant to go with her. Then in their second year at college, Justin transferred over to the college and then he started chasing her. She had of course rejected him back then after which they had became friends alongside with Ryan and Dan. Their clique of six people quickly became popular at school as they were all handsome and beautiful.
Then one day she gathered her courage to confess Ty but do you know what he said,
He said, "Love, I can't. I only think of you as a friend."
Imagine the devastation she felt in her heart that day, she had put away her pride but he had friend-zoned her. Had she visualized it all in her brain? The times she caught him sneaking peeks at her and his sometimes very passionate stares? Had she? She had fell into self-doubt back then.
She had avoided him since then and it was from then on that Justin made his presence more prominent in her life. He was the one to comfort her when he noticed her sadness. He took her out on dates; amusement parks, movies, car racing, he did it all just to make her smile once again. And from then on, she too gradually forgot about her failed confession and first love, she could since then smile at her first love and teasingly ask him to introduce them to his girlfriend when he found one.
Then one day, Justin had asked once again for her to be his girlfriend and she had somehow agreed which turned out to be one of the best decisions she ever made. He treated her like a queen and made a feel like a treasure. That was two months after her failed confession, some could say that it was an awful short time to forget your first love but it wasn't for her. Although he was her first love it doesn't mean that she has to throw away her life just to mourn his loss, impossible!
She had a life to live, he wanted to be friends, friends is all he's ever gonna get. That was the promise she made to herself.
And now, years later he claims to want to be more than friends? How ridiculous!
She looked up at him and calmly spat out,
"You are sick!" ,and delusional too, she completed to herself.
Ty went to grab her shoulders and shook her violently as he said with hatred.
"He took you away from me! You were always meant to be mine! He was the one who took you away from me!"
"No one took me away from you. YOU did! I really don't have the energy to argue with you, just send me home!"
"Send you home? In your dreams! This is going to be your home from now on, OUR home! Better get used to it" His face twisted, his civilized face completely unrecognizable.
"Are you crazy? I am pregnancy! I am going to have a baby with Jay. OUR baby"
Ty glanced hatefully at her stomach before looked back at her with gentleness.
"We will keep the baby if that is what you want. He just have to take my surname. I already have doctors on standby so you don't have to worry about anything. Just get used to being my woman and the mother of my unborn child. And don't you think about escaping because this place is both manually and electronically monitored. Cameras are almost everywhere so I know everything you plan to do even before you do it. Got it? Then get some sleep, I will order them to send your dinner upstairs"
He then waltzed out after saying this.
Nina collapsed on the bed, 'She was done for'.
