NIGHT WITH A STRANGER (Part 1)
(Am not too good in writing stories,kindly let me know your opinions at the comment section.Thanks in advance.)


"Wake up!"
"I said you should wake the hell outta that bed right now!" A strong male voice yelled accompanied by a bucket full of water flowing on my naked body. I try to stand up but I groan in a lot of pain. My legs can't move and that's when I notice something weird. The cotton white bedsheets are all
covered with blood! I thought I was perhaps dreaming when I noticed blood oozing uncontrollably from my private parts. That's when I knew I had already lost my innocence to this total stranger. I tried to recall how I reached there bug my thoughts were interrupted by another loud and bitter voice.

"You still in there dummy girl?" I heard his roaring voice from the other side of the house, I guess the balcony. I got a few minutes for exploring this huge and well decorated house . I saw a picture hanging on the wall and it was of a young lady holding an infact alongside a man with tattoos on his neck and shoulders. They were all smiling and it seemed like a happy family. Curiosity got a better part of me and I noticed another well framed picture of an old man holding a young handsome boy in his arms. Before I could return it I heard I bang at the door and I dropped it,and the glass scattered all over the room. I immediately swept the mess but before I could dispose the litter a sharp glass pricked my thumb. I try to suck the blood but it still won't stop bleeding. I grab a nylon paper and wrap it around my finger and that seems to work well for the time being,before am basted.

I gathered some energy and managed to cover my boobs with the duvet, it wasn't much wet. My head is paining and all I want is a glass of water, so I try to get closer to him but his huge body somehow scared me. I didn't care much about my lost innocence, all I wanted was the means to get out of this huge building, after I get water, or some food maybe. I open my mouth to talk but he turns around before I utter a word and offers me a roasted piece of chicken. My stomach hurts and all I wanted was food. I grab the meat and gulp it all without any objection. "Hey,don't look at me like that! Poisoning you would be a lot more better!" He shouts as he turns and walks to the verandah.

I Walked back to the room and I saw my phone calling,it was Annita. I tip toed and found several missed call alerts; ten from my mum and seven from Annita, then two text messages from James saying how much he missed me all night long. I tapped on the screen and saw other two texts from James on WhatsApp

"hey boo,I hope you're enjoying the party."
"Good morning babe am traveling for a business trip and I'll be back in a week's time. I love you take care of yourself."

I felt so weak and selfish as tears rolled down my face. James must have had a very lonely and worried weekend. I left his house on Friday evening after Annita and her boyfriend Keys invited me to join their friend's engagement party in Springville restaurant. I hesitated but I finally agreed after they begged for almost an hour,and James sided with them too. I hated the idea of being a third wheel since James couldn't accompany us because he was working on his project but I had to go for the interest of my best friend,and my fiance' as well. I wore slightly loose denims and white dotted rubber boots. With this,I was sure to be comfortable for the few hours we will spend at the party. We walked to the car and I sat at the passenger seat while Annita sat next to her boyfriend in the front seat. Keys puts on a loud rock music,they chat and laugh lovingly and atvyhus point am getting jealous.I pick my phone and text James how am bored but he doesn't reply,so I diverted my attention to the lovebirds. Keys is a funny and romantic guy and Annita must consider herself lucky to have him.

We reached at the party after an hour's drive.Keys parked at the parking slot and we were welcomed with a glasses of wine.I don't drink,so I requested for a mango juice. Annita looks at me and smiles,she's holdings Key's right hand and they look like a happily married couple. I Walk through the crowd and seat on a bench near the entrance since I wanted to gusp fresh air and somehow detox from jealousy which was chocking me. Another waitress passes by and this time I pick a glass of wine. I notice Annita in the company of her friends and she gestures me to join them.She must've noticed how lost I looked.

"Vee this is Kingsley,he's a doctor at a national hospital in town,we schooled in the same college,
And this is Rhoda,she's my college roommate."

Annita introduces me to her friends but I don't give much attention.My eyes were getting heavier and I was just staring like a fool before Annita let's out a huge laughter.

"You like him huh"
I spit the wine back in the glass out of disbelief.

" Damn how can you say that you stupid girl!
You know I have a fiance' so don't act like you've forgotten."

"You're drunk Vee you need to rest.
Come, let me show you your room." I try to stand up but I stagger and fall. Have never had wine my entire life,not to mention alcohol. I grab Kingsley's jeans and support myself up. He wrapped his strong arms around my waist and carried me to the room.
This felt strange but I didn't have a choice.Annita bids me a lazy goodnight and I responded lazily too.
