Episode 5 : Is He Giving Me A Sweetner?

When I was about to open the door, suddenly that night's incident pooped up in my mind, "Don't open your door unless you're sure of who it is." So I checked out through the looking glass. But no one was out there. "Wait, why am I following his commands? Although it's for my own good, but...."

After a while an unknown number called my phone. I usually don't pick up unknown calls but without any obvious reason today I received the call.

With an weighty voice I asked, "Hello, do I know you?"

"Good that you remembered my advice. Now get down stairs. I'm waiting for you."

Hearing the voice I was about to catch off my balance. "It's him, that jerk. How on earth did he get my phone number?"

I asked, "Are you joking...." but he hung up the phone. "Argh...., he's indeed a troublesome guy."

Like a bomb I rushed to the window and to my surprise he really was waiting outside lying back on his car."Why should I go? Who the hell he think he is?" Forgot it. I'm not his attendant who must follow his orders."

After one or two minutes he called me again. I didn't received this time. So he called me again and again. "Ufff...guess I must receive his calls."

He yelled at me saying, "Why didn’t you answer my phone calls?" Then with a admonitory voice he added, "If you do not get down stairs within just two minutes then wait till I break through your place." He hung up.

"Let's see if he dares to break through. But wait, he has got both powers and riches. What if he greased the security's palm? He's dare enough to do these things. Looks like I must get down inspite of being fagged out. He acts like a man yet he's just a university student. Guess he's still in his puberty. Thinking of it makes me wanna laugh."

After I got down, I found him holding a shopping bag of Gucci. "What! Am I dreaming? He's holding a Gucci bag?" Like the clappers I slapped myself saying, "Tessa Watson, come back to reality. Plainly it’s not for you."I headed towards him.

"What took you so long?"

"None of your business."

"What? My legs almost got numb for you."

I murmured, "Who asked you to visit me at this late hours?"

"What are you burbling about?

Anyway, I've got you something."

He handed me that shopping bag. I was knocked for six. I asked with an open mouth, "Is it for me?"

"Then for whom do you think, you dumb- ***?"

Notwithstanding the fact that he teased me but I got totally tongue-tied.

Seeing me in such a condition, he asked me with a grumpy voice, "Do you have a short term memory loss?"

"What?!"

" I'm saying so cuz it's that evening gown you choosed at your way back home."

I reminisced about back then...

When I was heading towards my place, I happened to stop by a Gucci showroom at a shopping mall. I was puzzled by the arresting design of an expensive evening gown. But to my sorrow, I was just a student here who didn’t had the courage to afford it. So I left there without wasting any further time.

"Meanwhile I was passing by and saw you woefully staring at it. So I thought of buying you this."

His voice suddenly took me back to my sense. "How sweet he is! Awww.... I'm so touched. Even if he takes the piss out of me but he really knows how to win a girl's heart. So why he's still single? Could he be...."

"Hey, why are you tittering for?"

"Oh no, nothing. It's nothing."

"By the way, come to the point. I'll be absent tomorrow. So you've to collect notes for me."

Hearing so, all my sweet thoughts got wiped off like how sea waves wash away pearls from the seashore.

Being annoyed I said, "Oh, so this is why you gave me such an expensive gift. Don’t you tryna bribe me."

"Sorry, my bribe is not like going for a song." With an arrogant smile he added, "And this, huh, it’s nothing compared to my pay off."

Then he got into his car. When he was about to drive away, I asked him, "Wait, how did you get my number?"

With a snigger he replied, "None of your business."

"Damn it. He gave me my answer back." I got so pissed off.

I returned to my room with much loathing. But I was murmuring with anger. But after I sensed that I'm holding something and it’s a shopping bag of Gucci, I looked at it. At once my all anger turned into jollies. I bristly got inside, locked the door and headed to my bedroom. I opened the bag but when I was taking out the gown, I also found a Gucci purse matched with it. I got myself dumbfounded.

It was an off-shoulder, Cobalt Blue coloured evening gown. Without any delay, I wore the gown as to know how I girl like me would look in such a gown.

It made me look more skinny as it was a fishtail gown along with a thin belt on my waist. It highlighted my curves really well.

I took some mirror selfies of me wearing it. I looked so pretty even without any makeup or hairstyles. I had to change the gown fighting against my will in order to save it from being ruined. Then I took a photo of it.

I knocked Adamson with much delight and told him everything. He asked me to send him some photos. So I eagerly sent him all the photos that I just took.

"So you are gonna wear this type of gown in front of a guy like him. Do you wanna seduce him?"

"Hey, don't take it in that sense."

"So in which sense should I take it? Listen Tessa, rich guys like him are like that of a beast. So you better be carefully."

"You don't need to worry that much. I'm well aware of it. Good night, friend."

"You again friendzoned me. Ok, ok, as you wish. Take care. Good night."

Don’t know why but I sensed jealousy in the way Adamson talked to me just now. "Forget it. Today's my another lucky day. I better get ready for bed in a twinkling. Cuz I must be present tomorrow as to collect notes from his department." With a colossal smile spreading all over my face, I fell asleep.
