The Cursed Human

“What you wanna eat?” Mathew asked with a gentleman smile on his thin lips. She positioned her finger on her chin pretending to thinking hard. She put her bottom lip between her teeth as she unknowingly bite it. The mere action made Mathew held his breath. He wanted nothing more than to kiss those plum lips and showed her how much he wanted her. But he had another plans for tonight.

“Maybe spaghetti.” she said after few seconds. She leaned forward to picked up her glass of wine unknowingly giving him full view of her cleavage. This action of hers didn’t went unnoticed by him. He knew that controlling himself tonight would be more harder than he had initially imagined. He wanted nothing more than to ravish her whole body until she screamed his name in pleasure. But he had to wait for that day.

His train of thoughts were interrupted by ringing of his phone. He pulled his phone out of his pocket and frowned at the name displaying. His whole body tensed as air around them thickened. He didn’t wanted to picked up the call but he had to because if he didn’t, there would be consequences.

“I have to take this.” he looked down at her apologetically and didn’t waited for her response and pulled his chair out and moved towards the exit. She frowned at his sudden change in posture. This was new, Mathew never looked so tense.

‘Must be from work.’She concluded.

She sipped her wine and looked around the restaurant. Her eyes scanned whole restaurant. There were people dining with their dates, some were with families and some were alone, savoring the taste by themselves. The interior of restaurant was elegant yet sophisticated with bright yellow lights sparkling and sweet and delicious aroma of food dancing all around.

The atmosphere, so laid back, the high beaming ceilings and the eclectic d?? cor worked wonders for the ambience. The inside area looked warm and inviting whereas the outside was surrounded by a greenery of beautiful lawn like place. Her eyes wandered further and magnificent pool caught her view, it was right outside the glass window she was staring at. The moonlight reflecting its occasional twinkle on the calm splashes in the water was mesmerizing for her.

Her eyes snapped towards the glass window as a small lurking figure caught her unwanted attention. She frowned when she saw a little girl, holding her bunny bear walking around with tears in her eyes.

Sarah looked carefully around when the girl looked around.

‘She must be lost.’ she thought and placed her glass down before standing up from her seat and made her way towards her.

“Can I help you, sweetie.” Sarah asked as she reached her. The girl looked up at her and nodded her head and more tears started flowing through her blue eyes. Sarah felt her heart achen. She was seeing herself in place of her. She crouched down to her level and held her before wiping her tears.

“Hey! hey! dont cry. Come here.” She said and hugged the little girl.

After few minutes girl stopped sobbing. Sarah pulled away and wiped the remaining tears .

“Whats your name?” She asked sweetly.

“Alexa.” little girl said.

“So Alexa, tell me are you lost?” She asked her. Alexa nodded her head and started looking here and there.

“So can you tell me with whom you have come?” Sarah asked her and stood up with Alexa in her arms.

“With my momma and dadda.” Alexa said.

“Okay so can you tell me where are they?” She asked walking towards reception.

“Momma said she will be in bathroom and dadda is talking with his friends.” Alexa said almost sobbing.

Sarah stopped in her track and decided to go to bathroom because if Alexa’s mother was in bathroom, maybe she could found her there.

“Okay now can you tell how your mother looks like.” she asked

“She has blonde hair and her eyes are like me. She is wearing blue dress.” Alexa said trying hard to remember what other things she could possibly tell.

Sarah nodded her head and entered the elegant bathroom. She put Alexa down and made her way towards bathroom stalls. She knocked on each one of them finding them empty. As she turned towards last one, she felt disappointed, finding it empty too.

‘Maybe her parents are looking for her in the main hall’ she thought and turned towards Alexa.

“She is not here sweetheart but we will find her, surely.” she said trying to comfort her.

Alexa nodded and grabbed Sarah’s hand. Sarah led them out of bathroom and made her way towards hall. As she turned to her left, she saw a tall women with beautiful blonde hairs wearing sky blue A line dress reaching her ankle, looking here and there with tears in her eyes.

“Is she your mother?” Sarah asked knowing the answer. Alexa looked up at her and a beautiful smile covered her lips as she nodded her head.

‘what a beautiful smile she has.’ she thought as she herself smiled without knowing.

They made their way towards the women.

“Excuse me?” Sarah said to women whose back was facing her. The women suddenly turned back. As the women turned, she almost screamed in happiness when she saw Alexa.

She crouched down and hugged Alexa. She was looking so tense by the look on her face. Her mascara was flowing down her blue eyes. She was sobbing so hard.

“Oh my god! Baby, Where were you I looked everywhere. I thought I lost you. Are you okay?” She asked between her sobs, as she didn’t noticed Sarah there.

Alexa smiled “yes mommy I am fine. I wanted to see dadda so I went to see him but I got lost….. I am sorry mommy but I got help, momma.” As Alexa said this, she looked up at Sarah and grinned.

Sarah smiled back. This is the moment when the women noticed someone else beside them. She stood up, wiped her tears with back of her hands and smiled at her.

“Thank you so much. I dont know how to thank you. You did so much for me. Oh and by the way, name’s Angie.” Angie smiled showing her perfect dimples. She hugged Sarah and pulled away immediately before Sarah could process anything.

“Oh no problem.” Sarah smiled back. She felt so happy that she had done something good. She helped a young little girl to found her mother.

Suddenly she remembered that she was supposed to wait for Mathew. He must be getting worried and looking for her. He must be thinking that she has left.

“Oh nice to meet you Angie. Wish I could spend some time with you guys but I gotta go, my boyfriend must be waiting for me.” Sarah said and crouched down and kissed Alexa on her head.

“Oh no problem. We should go too. Gotta tell Rafael that I have his beloved daughter.” Angie laughed.

Sarah stood up and smiled and watched them turn around and go towards VIP hall.

She herself turn around and make her way towards her table.

As she reached, she frowned as she didn’t find Mathew there. ‘What’s taking him so long?’ she wondered worriedly. She was worried for Mathew that what was keeping him so long.

She picked up her phone and saw the time. It had been thirty minutes since Mathew left with the call and he still didn’t return. She waited for few more minutes. Her train of thoughts were consumed by Mathew.

She never thought that a man like Mathew could love her so much. Their relationship had trust, they had that bond which every relation needed, they had that synergy. However, it had been two months but Mathew never made her feel uncomfortable. He respected her every decision. He never complaint about not having sex. He understood that she was not ready for that now. Mathew was everything a girl needed in her dream man. Sarah never had boyfriend before Mathew because of her parents and obviously Falcon. After the death of her parents, Falcon was the only one she was left with.

Falcon was her childhood friend. He never allowed her to had a boyfriend. She sometimes felt so irritated and angry at him for scaring every guy who tried to talk to her or tried to make her friend. But he shrugged her off by saying that he didn’t wanted her to get hurt by boys. She felt like a child.

But she didn’t told Falcon that she was dating Mathew. But obviously he found out. And to say he was pissed would be an understatement, he was beyond angry. He even threatened her to have her locked up.

But she didn’t let him control her life this time. She told him that its her life and she can do whatever she wanted and Falcon was not her brother or boyfriend who could control everything she did. Falcon felt offended and left her apartment. Falcon was her best besfriend and she felt bad for yelling at him but she had to do this otherwise Falcon would never let her make boyfriend. But she somehow managed to made him understand. And now he minded his own business. But sometimes he treated Mathew like shit. Mathew and Falcon they both disliked each other for which Sarah was not grateful.

Her thoughts were interuptted by a tug on her arm as she felt herself being dragged from restaurant. She looked towards the person and yanked her arm back. For a moment she didn’t understand what was happening.

“What are you doing?” She said frowning.

“Look Sarah we can argue about this later but now you have to come with me. Its not safe for you here.” The person growled at her, as he made a move to grab her arm once again. She stepped back and glared at the person.

“No, Falcon. I’m not going anywhere. You have to tell me what’s going on. And what are you doing here? How do you know I was here? And where is Mathew?” She threw questions at him. She never saw Falcon this angry. Falcon ignored her questions and grabbed her by her arm and pulled her towards him as that they were chest to chest.

“Don’t you dare take that motherfucker’s name. And as matter of fact, whether you like it or not YOU ARE COMING WITH ME, willingly or by force.” Falcon gritted.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

To say she was shocked was understatement, she was completely terrified by the behaviour of Falcon. He was never like this. He never treated her like this. This was not the Falcon she knew, the person standing in front of her was someone else.

Falcon didn’t gave her time to response as he dragged her out of restaurant.

“Leave me, Falcon!” she screamed. Falcon ignored her screams and dragged her towards parking lot. She struggled in his vice like grip. Her arm was hurting with the force Falcon was holding her. She didn’t even realised when she started sobbing. Her tears started flowing through her eyes.

“Falcon, you are scaring me” she whispered between her sobs. His heart ached hearing her cracked voice but he had no other choice expect this. He has to do this if he wants her safe and sound. Every fibre of his heart was against this but he has to put his heart aside like he always does and do the next right thing which was to keep her away from Mathew.
