You're Doing It Right

"You look tensed," he noticed and looked at my hand. He tried to reach for it but I dodged it.

"Don't touch me!" I hissed at him.

My hands are a bit damp from sweats. Of course, I'm tense! I wasn't ready for this!

He stared at me for a bit before he started the engine and maneuvered his car. I closed my eyes and bit my lip. I'm doomed! What am I gonna do?!

I opened my eyes and glanced at my purse. Right! I need to send Leigh a message that I'm in danger and I need her help now!

I quickly opened my purse to get my phone but this guy was quicker because he took it away from me. I gasped and was amazed by his reflexes! I thought he was driving?!

"Who are you trying to contact?" he asked smugly.

"Hey!" I exclaimed in protest when he switched off my phone and didn't think twice about throwing it in the backseat! "What the?!"

He's seriously getting on my nerves!

"That's expensive!" I screamed in disbelief.

He sneered. "I can give you more expensive than that."

What a conceited jerk! As if I'll be interested in his wealth!

"Stop the car!" I demanded as I hold the handle of the passenger car's door, ready to get myself out of his freaking car.

"No," he firmly said.

I violently turned my head toward him.

"Stop or I'll kick your ass right now! I don't care if we get involved in a car crash!"

I am now entirely frustrated. Geez! Why did I let myself come with this rude jerk?

He glanced at me as if daring me to do my threat. "I won't stop the car. Jump if you want. Just make sure you won't get any bruises or sprain because it will be futile to escape. You'll only waste your time."

As if I care! I wanted to shout at him but his phone suddenly rang. It's on the phone holder on the dashboard of his car. He immediately received it by tapping a bit while putting on a wireless earphone.

"What?" he asked coldly on the other line. His face is a bit annoyed and became serious. I bet that whoever is on the other line, must have said something important or serious because he frowned and his voice was suddenly authoritative.

"I'm busy... No... Go ahead..." a bit of silence from him indicates that he's listening to whoever he is talking to.

I took that as an opportunity to sneak my hand and reach for my phone. But since I'm watching him closely so he wouldn't get suspicious of what I'm trying to do, I couldn't see where exactly my phone is in the backseat!

"Fine."

Oh, to hell with that! I crouched my half body so fast to reach my phone in the backseat. He cursed hard and got distracted.

"What the hell are you doing?" he spat angrily and his arm snaked on my waist to pull me back. I successfully retrieved my phone from the backseat and without thinking twice, I elbowed his face and stomped on the brakes, making him growl and unfocused.

I quickly unlocked the door on my side, forcefully opened it, and jumped out of the car. Geez! It's a do-or-die move! I didn't waste any more seconds and run as fast as I could.

Good thing that I found a vacant cab and immediately hopped in before he could move out of his car. He seemed to be enduring what I did to his face that he couldn't follow me.

Geez, it wouldn't kill him alright?! I'm the one who almost died by jumping out of his car in the middle of the road!

The fast beating of my heart told me that it was the adrenaline rush that gave me the courage. I let out a loud sigh of relief while I'm giving my address to the taxi driver. That was close! My heart was already calm when I arrived home.

I went inside the Herrerias Residence as I was sulking. Geez, it's only eight in the evening but I'm already home. It's been a month since the last time I had a playmate, and the guy who happened to be the last is the main reason why my playful nights were not exciting as before!

"Miss Racy!" the contorted facial expression of Mina welcomed me. She jumped when she saw me walk in as if she's been anxiously waiting for me the whole time. "Where have you been, Miss? I've been trying to call you many times but I was directed to the operator!"

"My phone was off. What's your problem?" I asked and gave her my purse and phone. I walked past her to go straight to the living room and carelessly slumped down on the sofa.

"I'm dead tired!" I complained groaning. "The nerve of that guy! I hope I left a bad mark on his face!" I said, talking to myself.

Each time I remember how many times my supposed playful nights were halted, I can't help but curse him in my mind! He's annoying and a nuisance!

That guy whose name is—oh wow, now I don't even know his exact name. He's the only guy I have played with, that I wasn't able to get the identity. Well, not that I'm interested anyway. It's just that I think I need to know his name so Leigh could do something about him.

He doesn't mention his name for the past month either. It's been a month since that night and now what? Why is he still too eager to get me? Don't someone like him has any other thing to do or other girls to pursue? I'm aware that I'm hot and irresistible, but I seriously wonder why he's forcing himself on me. It's been a month since I'm running away from him, can't he get a hint that I'm not really interested? He said women are the ones after him. Exactly. Then why is he pursuing me for the whole month? He mentioned something about proving something. What does he want to prove?

"Miss Racy!" My line of thought was interrupted by Mina's nervous call of my name. I looked at her and gave her an irritated expression.

"What?" I asked in a cold tone. "Speak up. What's your problem? Can't you see that I'm tired and trying to rest a bit?"

"I'm sorry Miss!" she's now scared at my expression.

"What?!" I growled because she still couldn't say what she was trying to say. "If you aren't going to speak, then get lost from my sight!"

"Raciella!" I immediately got stiffened when a loud voice suddenly boomed. "Is that the proper way of talking to your maid?"

I got up from my seat quickly and looked in the direction of the voice. Geez! What is she doing here? I paled when I saw her standing near the grand stairs.

"M-Mom?" a mixture of shock and fear was laced in my voice. Oh no... tell me I'm seeing wrong. She's back?!

"I asked you a question, Raciella," she coldly said. "Is that how you treat your maid? Is that a proper way to treat someone who is devotedly serving you at home?"

I shook my head and lip my lower bit. "N-No."

"Then where did you get your manners like that? Did you wander the streets too much that you caught that nasty behavior and now applying it at home?" her voice is stern and imposing which sent shivers to my spine.

Oh no.

I know I was wrong! My mother doesn't tolerate us shouting and hurting our servers. Well, it's just an expression of me. I say cruel things when I'm irritated but I don't really mean it. I don't lay a finger on our servers. They know me well. I only say things out loud to express my anger. But my mother doesn't like that so she always reprimands me about it.

I shook my head to her questions. "N-No."

"Then apologize now," she demanded and looked in Mina's direction.

I pursed my lips and looked at Mina. I sighed and my expression softened. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to shout at you. I was just a bit tired..." I bit my lip and stopped trying to reason out. "Please forgive me."

I heard a familiar baritone chuckle from somewhere. "You're doing it right, Racy."

I thought I was only hearing things. It took me so long before I finally realized who that person is.

My head slowly turned to the person who is now behind my mother. He smirked at me.

"Trance!" I exclaimed in both surprise and excitement.

"Yes," he laughed and spread his arms, waiting for me to walk near him. "Where's my welcome home hug?"

That's my cue to rush toward him and hug him tightly as if I haven't done it for ages. Gosh! He's here! I can't believe that he is already here!
