Sylvia POV
"Really!" I couldn't contain my excitement over the good news I got from my manager.
"Wait,wait ,you aren't messing with me are you?" It was just too good to be true.Luxury designer lingerie maker Lana Laurel reached out to me with an offer to be the model for her lastest lingerie line.
"Why would I mess around with something like that?" Calvin replied chuckling,I squealed happily almost wanting to throw my hands up in the air and let go of the steering wheel. "It's two weeks from now and they want you to to take the shot in a swimming pool" he explained and my excitement died down a bit. "Inside a swimming pool?"
"Yes Sylvia, anything wrong with that?" He asked sensing the shift in my excitement.
"Yeah,a little.My period might come by then.If it does I cannot do the photoshoot in a pool.I'll get blisters and rashes all over my butt!" Yeah,I did it once and it wasn't funny.I could not wear panties for a week.You might think it's crazy for me to say such things to my male manager,but Calvin and I were buddies so close, perhaps too close.Our relationship was testament to the notion that platonic friendships are more free and fun than a love relationship.Do not get me wrong,we aren't fucking or anything like that.I took him as a friend and brother and family.He also does too.Perharps.
"You can take drugs to postpone it right?" Calvin suggested.
I made a retching sound "No I won't.I am the most beautiful when I am on my period." I sighed,"but let's wait and see.It might decide to delay for a few days in our favor"
"Hmmm,I hope it does...oh! We talked too long I gotta get back to work byeeee" he said
"Okay.Call ya later.Muah" I made a kiss sound.The call ended.I stepped on the accelerator.my hair flew with the wind.I felt alive,my car was a convertible wine red Lamborghini.A few minutes later,I arrived at the parking lot of the apartment I am living in currently.I parked my car and entered the elevator pressing the sixtieth button the floor my penthouse was in .Ruby villa is one of the most expensive and luxurious apartments in Vix city.I choose to move here because of the tight security.It dug a hole in my pocket but it was worth it.Someone not residing in the apartment could not get in unless the person they were looking for confirmed that they aren't a threat.I came out of the elevator barefoot.Holding my gold strap heels in my hand.I could no longer bear the torture of wearing them.
I was welcomed by the lavender misty smell of the air freshener as I opened the door.I plopped down unceremoniously on my couch to rest a bit before showering and getting on with my fun-time.I had so many things on my fun-time list,so many movies to watch and so many novels to read and so many new music to sing along to.I jerked up all of a sudden as I remembered something.
I haven't seen sapphire.So I called out to her.Only after yelling out her name for a while did I recall that I had Calvin take her to the vet.God I miss her and her fluffy fur.
Hold on, there's still someone or something that can keep me company. "Rora." I called my house robot.I got it as a present from Calvin for my birthday.I called out two more times but got no answer.I stood up and walked to the tv spot.There was the small lastest Hi-Tech AI robot vacuum cleaner.It could do a lot more than keep the place clean. "Hey." I said softly "Are you broken?" It didn't seem to be broken though.I would have it fixed first thing tomorrow morning.I took off my gown,followed by my undies till I was completely naked.Perks and advantages of living alone.I took my phone with me to the bathroom.I looked to listen to and sing along mostly in the shower.Have you ever tried it? It's exhilarating.
"Got you on my radar soon you're gonna be with me
My strategy, strategy will get you get you baby
Winning is my trademark,soon you'll never
Wanna leave
My strategy, strategy will get you get you baby"
I paused the song.Ever since I came home.I was getting the feeling I was being watched.I shrugged it off and continued showering.Soon I was done.I wore a gray sports bra and black shorts that stopped just beneath my ass.I had looked around the house and saw nothing strange or out of place.I relaxed with the intent of binge watching a few kdramas before bed.I laid out all my movie snacks on the table,pizza, chocolates, yoghurt and pancakes.I am among the very few people in the world who didn't like popcorn as a snack to watch tv with.I decided to watch Vincenzo after debating with myself for five minutes.The movie never seizes to amaze me everytime I watch it.
Two Hours Later
My eyelids were now like a boulder.I couldn't keep them open.My body wanted to sleep but my mind wanted to watch one more episode and I did.But I soon didn't know when I fell asleep on the couch.
I felt a presence,I opened my eyes and stared straight at a pair of brown orbs.I reacted quickly and threw a kick.The intruder dogded it easily.Now I was fully awake from the adrenaline coursing through my body.I raised my hands defensively ready to have a one on one and practice my deadly taekwondo,hapkido,judo and Muay Thai moves on the intruder just like I had done to others in the past.
My opponent is a tall guy,I mean like thirty inches difference between us.And huge.he problem weighed twice as much as me.
He wasn't attacking.I wouldn't be stupid to attack him first.Lesson number one.You can only assess your opponent when they attack thereby leaving a gap for you to take them down. "Who are you? What the hell are you doing in my apartment and what the fuck do you want?!" He didn't cover his face unlike the men that had come to me in the past.He was either someone powerful or stupid.
"Hmmm, feisty as I've heard." He tilted his head sideways as he looked at me like I was some artifact.
"I asked who you are bastard! have you been here this whole time?" I said with disdain in my voice.I knew I felt something
"Your life is in my hands from now on till months ahead,so you will do well to control your tongue little girl" his voice was dangerously calm.The kind that warned of untold danger.
"Tsk...tsk..tsk" I clicked my tongue against my teeth. "Fight me bastard! Did you come to talk?" I challenged
"Sure.why not?" He smirked and came close to me.I lunged at him ready to deliver a punch to his stomach.Unfortunately,his movements were too fast and fluid for me to comprehend.He came behind me instead and carried me by the waist, leaving me immobilized. "Let go of me you sick bastard!" I cursed, thrashing around in his hold.I felt uncomfortable and nauseous at his touch and grope.I tried using my leg to kick his.That was unsuccessful and he held my hands behind my back.My ass was against his crotch and I hated the feel of his manhood against my ass.I had never been this vulnerable in my life.I wanted to kill him for Making me feel this way but I could not free my hands from his squeezing tight hold.The more I struggled,the harder his hold became.
"What do you want?who are you?" I felt his hand on my neck and what followed was a sharp sting.He held me in place tightly as he injected something into me.I felt dizzy immediately he removed the injection needle.My vision became dark and blurred "what...did..you....do....to...me" I managed to utter those words before I passed out.
