PERSY
I loved my new life. It could be a bit boring at times, and I did admit that I actually needed a friend or two, but for the most part, my life was going great.Just this afternoon, I ordered some designer wears online and proceeded to sit on the bed with some chicken wings in hand, resting against the headboard, legs crossed while watching a show on the laptop I got from Sam the other day. Aiden had already sent my first pay and it was barely two weeks into the contract. 150,000 dollars! I cried for a full hour, before sucking it up and dancing around the room like a maniac.I tried to call Aiden to say thank you, but he did not pick up, instead, he sent a text message which told me to send a text if I really needed something. I spent hours re-reading my text message to avoid being jabbed by him, and still, when I finally sent the message which consisted of just two short sentences, he sent another message correcting my tenses. I had been so close to sending him a ‘fuck you’ text, but I only had to check my account balance again to cheer me up.It was almost a week since the whole meeting thing, and I had not seen Aiden since then, not that I cared about seeing him. I just wanted the money, and I just hoped that this whole thing would be over and done with soon enough… after I had bagged enough money, of course.Just when I shook my head to get the intrusive thoughts about Aiden off my mind and started to pay more attention to the second episode of the series I was currently watching, I heard the unmistakable evidence of Aiden's presence. His card, sliding into the door to unlock it from the other side.The way I was always so upset when he did this. This man knew nothing about a woman's privacy! I uncrossed my legs and discarded the rest of my chicken wings on the plate by my side, waiting for him to come in so I could at least ask him… maybe nicely, to stop coming in here unannounced like that.He finally came in, and for the first time since I knew him, he wasn't wearing a suit. The sleeves of his black shirt were rolled up, showing off the veins of his arms and strong muscles. His equally black pants fit him perfectly, so much that it even subtly outlined… Fuck, no.I dragged my eyes away from his lower parts at once and focused on his face instead. He was… smiling. Just a tiny bit, almost unnoticeable, but it was there. He looked… nicer. I suddenly forgot all about my tantrums, lost in the waves of his stormy, scintillating gray orbs…"We should have sex." His baritone voice suddenly came out of nowhere and just like that, I was out of my trance. I even got to my feet, albeit slowly."Um… what?" I asked, because even if his voice had been as clear as day, I still could not help but think that I heard wrongly.He ran his hand through his hair, looking thoroughly annoyed that he had to repeat himself."Are you a virgin, Persy?" He asked, his voice unwavering still. Wait, what?"I… What the hell?""I do not fancy virgins, but if you are one, we can work our way around it. I believe we are both adults and none of us are new to the word, sex. Or do you not know what it is?" He asked me, giving me a once over, swift but scalding, still.I was covered to the brim with a big sweater and pyjama pants, but I still shivered under his gaze. I knew he had that effect on other girls too. He could literally bring any girl to her knees with those eyes… I already knew I was about to crush his pride with my reply."I do not know what this is, but whatever it is, I'm totally uninterested. Keep your junk in your pants where it belongs because I don't want it. It isn't part of the contract now, is it?" I shot back at him, and I could swear his jaw dropped for a hot second, before he got a grip of himself."I have been prohibited from having sex with any other girl but Kassie. You are Kassie, according to the contract, so you will satisfy my needs when I want you to."My eyes widened when he took a step forward, making me take a step backward too, just to fall back on my laptop which had the series still playing, and so the device vibrated underneath me. I could not stand up either, because Aiden had reached the edge of my bed, practically hovering over me.We held each other's gaze for the first few seconds before he outstretched a hand. I shook my head no, although my pants were really light, and as a result, my backside was literally on fire from the effect of the laptop underneath me."Stop being so fucking stubborn and take my hand, Persy." He ordered, but his voice had reduced by a pitch, and now sounded dangerous to me. I couldn't do it.It wasn't morals, no. I reminded myself on and on that this man standing in front of me was not in any way, my ex-boyfriend, Trevor, and there was no need to be afraid that he would leave me immediately after sex, but it was all I could think about.Trevor was all my firsts. My first friend, best friend, eventually boyfriend, my first love, my first kiss, and he eventually took my virginity as well. He broke up with me months after, after lamenting for weeks that I was totally unresponsive in bed, and that he was tired of oiling me up every now and then.His last sentence to me was, "Never let another man touch that pussy, for your own good. No one deserves a woman as immobile as you are in bed."I was afraid to have sex now. I could not even bear to think of it. I had never enjoyed sex with Trevor, no matter how many times I tried out different sex positions to make him happy, or how many times I took charge and rode him like a horse. He always complained, and I never got to orgasm. He could never get me to orgasm, but I saw him reach his peak a couple of times even if he did not enjoy it as he claimed. I was not about to risk another bad sex review, worse, with a man like Aiden."I don't want your hand, or anything else you have to offer right now, Aiden. Please go. Just go, please." My voice was tight already, I was so uncomfortable, yet I refused to take his hand…He stared at me with a furious expression for a few seconds before moving away slightly so I could get up on my feet. As soon as I was up, I ran to the farthest wall and planted my back against the wall, eying him carefully.In just a few fast strides, he was in front of me, caging me in with his arms slightly over my head while he looked down at me, and I, well…. I looked up at him, scared shitless. Was he going to force me now?"Why the hell are you playing hard to get? You think it makes you more attractive?" He asked me, his voice laced with anger."Stop it, leave me alone. Why can't you respect the fact that a girl says no?" My voice was shaky, but I managed to get all of that out."My girl. The contract says you are my girl, and I do not accept ‘no's’ in this relationship." He said simply."But… but I'm not really your girl, and even if I was—"His right hand suddenly slid down before I could finish my sentence, and wrapped around my neck, leaving me with wide eyes for like… the hundredth time today. My heart was beating too fast too. And the most embarrassing part? My panties… they were a bit soaked, or maybe a lot, I couldn't really tell.He was staring at my lips so intensely now, our foreheads joined, as he muttered, "Lie to me and tell me you don't want these fingers around your throat somewhere else, Persy. Somewhere I bet is soaking for me right now…"My throat was completely dry, and I held my breath unconsciously, until his thumb grazed my bottom lip, dragging it down a bit as he cooed, "Breathe, doll. Don't die on me when we haven't even started yet."Oh God… Maybe I could just risk being called immobile again, maybe it wouldn't be so bad this time… maybe…Ding, dong!I jerked away from him, slamming my head against the wall as a result which caused me to groan out loud in pain. I slid under his arm anyway, and made my way towards the door to answer the doorbell that had just rung out.I heard him blow out a breath, but I did not dare look back as I opened the door. It was the delivery guy, I had ordered some pizza too."Thank you!" I told him after confirming and receiving my order from him. I paid and bade him goodbye, then left the door open just to gesture at it while facing him now."You should leave now.""It's my house." He responded at once."Alright, I'll just go somewhere for the…""If it's a damn chase you want, I'll give it to you, but when I finally have you, I'll make you pay for wasting my time. Have a nice day." He forced a smile and then stormed out of the room.Help me, Lord.PERSY I could not stop thinking about it, and Aiden was not making things easy for me in any way. He kept sending all manner of uncouth messages to me, ones that left me hot and bothered in bed until I resorted to touching myself one fateful night under the duvet. I felt so filthy the next morning, and it did not help that he did not send any other messages from that night until today. That was two days ago, by the way. I decided to clear my head from all that today, by going out to have a drink by myself somewhere. Maybe a coffee shop, like I saw people do in movies. I received my designer clothes the day before, and currently, I was checking out blue cargo pants and the branded t-shirt which was one of the designer wears delivered to me. The fit was absolutely crazy! I was at the verge of sending the fifth message to the brand in the span of two hours just to tell them once again how amazing their t-shirt was, but I decided to let the urge go. I crowned the fit with a face cap,
AIDEN "Sir, promise me you won't do anything rash when you see this." I faintly heard Sam say from the other side of my desk, but I was too busy concluding a transaction, so I said nothing in response. A few minutes later, I heard him speak again, "I'm so sorry to interrupt your work, Sir, but there is something very important that you need to know." "Why can't it wait, Sam? Can you not see how busy I am?" I finally looked up from my laptop, though very slowly, my voice full of annoyance. "I am truly very sorry, Sir." He bowed his head in respect, then went on, "Your dad has been calling, and I think it is regarding the act that happened a few hours ago. I'm afraid Pers… I mean, Kassie—your girlfriend has succeeded in breaking the internet." I sat straighter, all my attention now fully focused on Sam who stood with his hands behind his back, right in front of my office desk. He did not need me to tell him to carry on, as he already knew he had me now. But of course. This was abou
AIDENIt only lasted for the briefest second, though, before she pulled away and practically ran back. She blinked over and over, while staring at me like she could not believe she had dared to kiss me. I stood very still as well; I could not believe it too.Not the kiss. I could not believe how ready I was to grab her and deepen the kiss before she bolted. That simple kiss brought back memories. Memories I tried to suppress for days came crashing down now, and they consisted of her, too… under her duvet, touching herself and moaning quietly like she could feel my eyes on her.It was after my last text; I had sent the dirtiest message that night, it involved my fingers in her pussy. My instincts pushed me to check the cameras after sending that text, only to catch her touching herself so stealthily like some goddamn virgin. I doubted if she was one, though. I actually never liked messing around with virgins, but I found myself not minding it if it was her.I could not guarantee being
PERSYI'd never met a man like Aiden in my life. A man so bold with what he wanted, a man so experienced. Well, maybe it was because I hadn't met many men. Trevor had prohibited me from even making friends, and now, I wondered why I had let him treat me like that.'Probably because he technically did everything for you.' My subconscious reminded me. It was true. What would I have done without Trevor? He was my savior, back when my parents had just died. He took me into his house, because he lived alone and promised me that I could stay with him until whenever.Despite the bad memories with him, Trevor was actually a good person. I believed so.What happened yesterday, however, explained why I had chosen to stay on the streets, rather than go back to beg Trevor. He was toxic—annoyingly so, and I knew I was better off without him.Wait. Yesterday?I jerked up from bed with a start, looking around and coming to the heart-breaking realization that I had actually fallen asleep despite all
PERSYI think he cooked? Or maybe that was Sam? I fell unconscious again, and once more, I saw mom and dad in my trance. Did they want me to come with them? Maybe I should go…"Hey. Hey. Kassie? Open your eyes, come on." I heard a familiar voice say, but it sounded so far away… Who was Kassie? I thought my name was Persy?Maybe the person wasn't talking to me…"Fuck, open your eyes, goddamnit." I felt the person shake me frantically. My body fell limp as soon as whoever it was let go of me.My eyes were too heavy, I could not do it… My lips too, I had not strength to part them; I could not say a word. Was this how mom and dad died too? This was the point where I would have begun to cry my eyes out, but at this point there were no tears left to cry.I could feel life leaving me slowly. And the scary part? I could do nothing about it, I was too submerged in the darkness to."Stay with me. Fucking stay with me, you cannot die on me now, I have no other doppelgänger to go to!" I could sti
PERSYLuckily for me, that was a joke. Yes, according to Aiden. I know, right? I did not peg him for one who would crack jokes out of the blue. He was not good at it—the jokes, is what I mean. None of us laughed afterward, it was as bad as that.I had mixed feelings on whether or not I wanted him to continue making jokes, though. I mean, this joke just saved my ass.Aiden had since left, though. He got another phone call for an emergency meeting. I was alone for the night! Not like I expected a man like Aiden to sleep over with me…Shrugging thoughts about the infuriating man off my mind, I finally cleared up the last plate of food and then began to struggle to get up. I finally did, but instead of the usual seconds it would take for me to reach the bed, it took over one full minute now. I stopped by in front of my mirror, slipping my robe open a bit just to check out myself and laugh about my pregnant-looking stomach for sometime."Nah, I would look so good being pregnant." I mutter
AIDENThe days passed by, uneventful as usual. The only time something would catch my interest was when I checked the cameras. That little minx was always up to something. The night I left, she had been talking to some people. I had Sam look for those people, and when he brought their pictures to me, one of then turned out to be the dumb fuck she kissed.It took a lot to push down my anger, and not barge into the idiot's apartment just for the purpose of disconnecting his head from his body. Pops said the city had not yet calmed from the other two incidents connected to my name; he would flip if my name appeared on the news headline again. I was always feeding those faceless blogs, and I did not intend to continue.It was not that I would not deal with the bastard eventually, though. I would surely teach him a lesson, just not now. And Persy too. She would have to explain what those people were doing in front of her damn apartment.However, I decided that the next time I would stop by
PERSYI practically did a walk of shame on my way to meet Aiden at the entrance of his family's house, after being dropped off by Sam. I only took one risky glance at him to ascertain his mood, before lowering my head to avoid those judging eyes. It was only when I was staring directly at his neatly polished expensive looking shoes that I dared to look up at him. He wasn't looking at me, though.Aiden's eyes were glued on my attire instead, starting from my blue sneakers to my baggy black pants and then my big, blue shirt that I had properly tucked into the pants to make it appear a bit formal, at least. He stopped at my face, his eyes focused on my hair which was let down and rested on each side of my shoulder, stopping just under my elbow.He looked exquisite, by the way. He wore a blue suit with a black shirt inside and blue pants. The whole attire was completed with expensive jewelries, and his usual maddening cologne. His hair was slickedAfter assessing me for a long while, he
