The girls bailed on Nala, since the idea of going to this party was hers. Leaving only me by her side. I almost bailed too if she hadn't told me there were free drinks at this party.
We arrived and some idiots already came up to us, trying to intimidate us with a terrible cheap psychopath act. But they made Nala laugh, and that's good. She's also down and getting over a complicated breakup. It seems her ex is bisexual and broke up with her to get back with his ex-boyfriend; she was devastated.
But I can't downplay what happened to me either. I caught him cheating with my own eyes, and it was like getting punched in the stomach by someone you love while they look you in the eyes.
We're walking around this party until she stops, asking me to wait a bit. My eyes go to a curious scene a little far from me; there's a man hitting another with a baseball bat. Is this also an act?
If it's an act, why are two men dragging the one who got hit behind a dumpster and throwing the bat into a burning trash can? This is strange. The two men with skull-painted faces pull the one wearing a half-skull mask in our direction until he looks at us.
"Nala, I think we should go. I have a feeling that if I don't leave now, something will happen."
"It's because everything here does that to us, Sam. It gives us this feeling that we should run or something will happen. Have you seen how these men look at us? I just want a tall man, with a real psychopath vibe, who will take me to have the best orgasm of my life."
I take a deep breath, a little irritated, but it soon changes to a chill down my spine and in the pit of my stomach when I look ahead and then up and face a giant, but not just any giant, the one who was beating up the guy who is now unconscious behind the dumpster.
He has the perfect vibe my friend is looking for, so I try to get out of the way, but the man seems to be playing with me as if I wanted to get into his game. No matter how much I try to get away from him, he picks me up and carries me off as if I weighed nothing.
I try to convince him one last time, until I start asking for help, and the women around me think I've hit the jackpot. They think I'm acting and rubbing something in their faces. They ignore my plea and I'm carried away by the brute. When we get to his car, he handcuffs me, and then inside the car, he sprays something and I black out.
I wake up for a moment and everything is upside down. I tilt my head and see the floor. I look ahead and see someone's bare back. I'm being carried on his shoulder. I try to hit him and ask him to let me go. Useless.
I look to the side, still upside down, and see doors, a wall, doors… We're in a hallway. I black out again while being carried on this son of a bitch's shoulder. I don't know how long I slept; the room has only a dim red light.
I wake up groaning; my stomach is nauseous and my head is heavy. I'm still handcuffed, but I'm tied to something. I'm also leaning against something. I'm not wearing my boots and I'm not wearing my jacket either. That's when I open my eyes fully.
"Where? Where am I?" I look to the side and then focus in front of me, on the smoke that floats and the minty smell.
"Hello, Sam. I thought you'd sleep all day."
"All day?" I look around and it's all dark, except for the faint glow of the red light. "Don't call me Sam, that's for close friends. My name is Samantha. Wait, how do you know my name?"
"We're almost close. Your lips taste like strawberries." He doesn't answer my questions, but what shocks me is that he kissed me while I was unconscious.
"You kissed me?"
"You shouldn't trust your screen lock. I just put it in front of your face and found out everything about you in a few minutes."
"That's an invasion of privacy, you can't do that."
"I can't?" He pretends to be offended until a sinister look lights up his face as he exhales more smoke from behind the mask. "You smiled at me, and now you're mine."
"Okay… You're still acting. What word should I use for you to understand that I'm not into this dark thing right now?"
"Look, your mother is calling you… I'll answer."
He comes towards me and stuffs a black cloth into my mouth before I can protest so he won't answer. Too late. It's incredible how his posture and tone of voice changed as soon as he answered my mother; he seems like another man. He puts it on speakerphone.
""Hello, Mrs. Sylus, a pleasure, I'm Dominic Torrance from Torrance Motor's.
""The CEO? Why do you have my daughter's phone?
Torrance? CEO? I start to search for something in my mind and the conversation between him and my mother continues.
""I apologize, Mrs. Sylus, your daughter was hired by me yesterday. And she didn't have time to let you know that she would need to travel with me for some urgent out-of-town meetings. We'll be back in a week."" Whoever hears him speak now really thinks he's a CEO.
A week? Is he kidding? My mother won't fall for this. Call the police, Mom.
""This is strange, Sam already has a job and wouldn't leave town without telling me.
""She quit her other job this morning and went out to find another job. With great luck, she was hired by me, but I was in a hurry because of the trip. Since she didn't have a charger, she left her cell phone in my suite to charge with mine. I promise she'll contact you in an hour.
""Wow… Mr. Torrance, as soon as she gets her phone, tell her to call me.
I'm there on the bed, struggling to free myself or get that thing out of my mouth, but whenever my face gets close to my hand, that son of a bitch pulls me by the foot. He seems to be having fun.
"Your mother is a sweetheart." he says, pointing to my cell phone. As soon as he takes the cloth from my mouth, I ask:
"Why did you use the name of someone powerful?"
"Can't I be him?"
"Of course not! The owner of the Torrance group is a nerdy CEO who wears glasses and spends all day cooped up in his office. He wouldn't go to a party like that and he wouldn't kidnap me to then invade my privacy."
"A pleasure…" he now completely removes the mask, since before he only lifted it to drag on his cigarette, picks up a pair of glasses from beside where he is, and continues speaking "I am the nerdy CEO and owner of the Torrance group, and also your kidnapper."
He picks up a remote and aims it at the curtains, which look heavy. As they draw apart, I can see his face more clearly as the light comes in. Holy shit, he really is the nerdy CEO of the Torrance group.
