“Hey there, pretty boy. Why have you been playing hard to get? I know that you know very well that I want you, and I've been showing you signs all this while, and you've done a great job at pretending you don't like what you see. I have trailed you around and I know you don't have a girlfriend, so there's really no reason why you shouldn't satisfy me. I need this one favour from you Jake. I really need you!
- Your Secret Admirer.”“Who could this be?” he wondered. “My boss?” he thought to himself. “She could have just used her normal email address. Maybe it's not her. Well, if it's not her …who is it?!” he kept thinking of who else apart from his boss was making advances on him. He finally decided to sleep it off and try to figure it out in the morning. ***Maria sat in her bathtub, feeling satisfied as she had put her plan into motion. Jake knows she wants him, but then he's probably trying to figure out whether or not she really is his secret admirer. He can't be sure—at least, not yet—not until she reveals herself. She was going to play a cat and mouse game with him, until he finally fell into her trap. She savoured the moment, contempt was obvious in her expression. She caressed herself as she imagined having sex with Jake. She felt an almost electric sensation coursing through her. She bit her lower lip and moaned softly into the candlelit room, creating a romantic—almost erotic—atmosphere as she did so.“I will have you, Jake Kline. It's only a matter of time before you submit to me.” she said as she caressed her breasts and closed her eyes in order to soak in the imaginations of Jake's body she had in mind. ***Jake woke up on Saturday morning. His last work day of the week. He was happy to get off work, especially now that his boss was seemingly after him, or whomever this "Secret Admirer" was. He was determined not to allow the issue to ruin his mood today. He jogged straight to the gym, maybe a proper workout was what he needed to get this off his chest. ***Jake was lost in thoughts throughout the time he spent at the gym. He tried hard not to believe that his boss was his not-so-secret admirer, but all the clues pointed at her. He decided to delete the email and did.He felt a little relieved now that he couldn't see the email that haunted him.He had a fairly smooth day at work as his manager called the entire staff and made Drex apologise to each and every single one of them while he supervised alongside his boss. He smiled as he remembered the look on Drex's face as he was made to say “I'm very sorry for being a bully.” to every single one of them. His smile faded as soon as he remembered the email, and that he was going to his second job tonight, and that his boss might actually make her move tonight.He arrived at KwikStop Pizza, the environment suddenly seemed eery to him due to the issue on ground. He took a deep breath and then stepped into the building. Everything was normal inside. The workers were busy working, work was going smoothly. He would have felt relieved, but he still had to check in with his boss.The walk from the entrance to the Pizza place to his boss's office seemed like a hike in a desert. He was afraid of his boss—NO! He was afraid of losing his job after telling her that he can't sleep with her. He took another deep breath as he approached the office door. He knocked cautiously.“Yes? Come in.” Maria said from inside the office. Jake entered the office, looking bothered. Anxiety was written all over him.“G—Good evening ma'am. He greeted her.“Good evening Jake. Are you alright? You're sweating and you seem really uncomfortable.” she asked.“I'm actually okay ma'am. It's nothing. I was in a hurry while coming here.” he lied.“Are you sure you're okay? You don't need anything?” she asked.“Yes ma'am. Thanks for your concern.” he replied.“You're welcome.” she said, as she looked him directly in the eye.“Ma'am I …I came to check in. And I've also not received my delivery list email yet.” he explained, trying to get out of this awkward moment.“True, I haven't sent it yet. Go wait in the lobby. I'll get back to you in a bit.” she responded.“Alright ma'am, no problem.” he said as he walked out of the office, obviously relieved.“Yes! She finally let me go. Now I can carry out my deli—” he halted in his steps as everyone else had left. It seemed like it was just him left, just him—and his boss. His email notification chimed and it was a letter stating that all deliveries have been cancelled that night. He was about going home when he received yet another email from the anonymous Secret Admirer. The email read:“Hey pretty boy. I let all the workers leave. They're taking the night off. The only thing you'd be taking off are my clothes tonight. You can't keep running.Game Over!-Your Secret Admirer.”“It can't be. NO!” Jake said to himself. Then he heard someone whistle behind him, and he turned swiftly, and his boss was standing in front of him, wearing only lingerie.“Hey Pretty boy. I'm your ‘not-so-secret-admirer’. Surprised?!” she said in a soft, yet audible voice.Jake immediately looked away from his boss's half-naked body. He was already in her trap. He couldn't see how he could possibly have escaped this scenario without losing his job. His boss was going to make her advances clear to him, and he would have to either comply and keep his job while losing his dignity—and virginity—or decline her advances and lose his second job. Jake has never slept with a lady, not even his ex-girlfriend, Zara, because she always gave him excuses and wouldn't let him near or touch her. He wondered how he was barely able to afford a comfortable life with both jobs and how much worse it would become if he only had to keep one.“Ma'am what are you doing? This isn't right!” he said, trying his best to hide the disgust he felt towards her, seeing her dressed like a hooker.“No, no, NO! Jakey. Don't be such a baby about this.” she teased him, chuckling. “You know very well what I want from you Pretty Boy. I want you to make love to me. I want to taste the warmth in
“You deaf or something?!” the voice yelled as the person—appearing as a hulking silhouette in the dark of the night—approached him swiftly.Jake made no attempt to speed up or try to get away from him. As the person got closer, he recognized the voice. It was Drex's voice, he probably wanted to get back at Jake for what happened between the both of them the other day at work. Jake was not in the mood to deal with that kind of confrontation. He was still pondering these thoughts when he felt a strong pull on his shoulder, which sent him falling off his bike and onto the pavement, bruising his knees and elbows.“You think you're such a tough guy huh?! I'll show you punk!” Drex said, kicking Jake in his midsection as he lay on the ground.Jake coughed and spat on the spot as the kick immediately knocked the air out of his lungs.“What do you want from me?!” Jake screamed at Drex.“To finish the fight you started, Twerp!” Drex said as he threw another punch. Although, his blow didn't hit
Jake had just finished his long studio session. He had successfully recorded two songs in preparation for his open-mic night scheduled for Friday that week. He stepped out of the recording booth and put down his headphones. His producer-friend Max was beaming with smiles as he came out.“Bro, you killed it! Those were some sick melodies you pulled out.” Max hyped him, genuinely impressed by Jake's musical abilities.“Thanks a lot bro.” Jake appreciated him.“Here you go bro! Your masterpieces are in this doohickey right here.” Max said, handing him a flash drive containing his songs.“Alright bro. Thanks again.” Jake said, expressing his gratitude.“Anytime homie.” Max responded.“Yeah. Unfortunately, I'd have to head home now. I've got some things to put in place.” Jake told Max as he headed out of the studio.“Alright bro, I'll show up at Les Royales for your performance. I wouldn't miss it for the world.” Max told him.“I would really appreciate that bro. See ya!” Jake said as he w
Max rushed to the location where Jake was attacked, a mix of worry and anger evident in his eyes. He found Jake on the ground, battered and bruised, with remnants of his shattered guitar scattered around him."Bro, what the hell happened?" Max exclaimed, helping Jake to sit up."Drex... it was Drex and his gang. They just... they destroyed my guitar, Max. The one my Mom gave me," Jake choked out, tears streaming down his face.Max clenched his fists, his expression turning fierce. "We're not letting them get away with this, Jake. First, we need to get you to a hospital."As Max helped Jake up, they made their way to the nearest hospital. The doctor examined Jake's injuries, and Max sat by his side, offering support. After some time, the doctor assured them that Jake would recover, though it would take time.While Jake rested in the hospital bed, Max stepped out to make some calls. He contacted the local authorities, informing them about the biker gang attack. Max was determined to bri
Jake was excited as he went backstage to hug his friend.“We did it Max. We actually did it.” he told his friend, filled with joy. He was so happy that they had conquered the show.His boss, Tony Rogers walked in, beaming with smiles. “Well done Jake! Your performance was breathtaking. I didn't know you had such vocals in you. You're not only a great employee, but also a great musician. Someday the world will hear your amazing voice.” Tony remarked.One of the waiters came into the room. “—Sir. I'm sorry for interrupting you but a customer wants to meet you immediately.” he said.“Tell the fellow that I'd be there immediately.” Tony told him“Alright sir.” the waiter answered and left.“Thanks for this opportunity sir. I really can't thank you enough.” Jake thanked his boss.“It's all good lad. I'm proud of you. I have to go now. A customer is waiting for me.” Tony replied as he walked out of the room to go and meet the customer.Tony was indeed impressed with Jake's performance. He
Jake rode home after he had finished his last delivery. As he parked his bike, he wondered if Maria actually regretted her actions and wouldn't play any more games with him, or if she was just retaining him in order to get a better opportunity to try again.He parked his bike, walked to his door, frantically searched his pocket for his house key and when he finally found it, he opened the door and entered his house.He reflected on his day while he prepared some omelettes and ate it alongside some bread he had bought on his way home. He then took a shower, went to bed and shortly after, he was fast asleep.***Juliet laid on her bed, wondering whether she should have talked to the pizza guy. She just wished he would eventually make it in the music industry, as she wanted more of his music. She couldn't quite understand why his music had such a calming effect on her. She concluded that if fate brought them together again, she was going to talk to him. She then closed her eyes and soon
“ First thing tomorrow morning, go find him and bring him to this mansion, I can't wait to see my grandson after twenty years” Old man Lawson smiled handsomely and the younger man bowed before leaving the sitting room.Immediately the younger man named Stanley was gone, Old man Lawson took his phone and placed a call across to someone.“ Hello chairman Lawson,” a male's voice said from the other end of the phone.“ My grandson has been found, get ready to lecture and guide him on how to go on about the Empire. I will be retiring once he is capable of taking over the Acrobatic Empire” Old man Lawson said.“ Why are you retiring Chairman Lawson? Is anything the matter? I know you've been searching for your grandson for a long time but the fact that he has been found doesn't mean you should retire” the voice said, worried laced his voice.“ I have my reasons Axel, just guide my grandson on what to do and also be by his side because he would have countless enemies who would do anything to
Jake couldn't believe his eyes. To him all this sounds like magic, something that doesn't happen in reality.Jake stopped rooted to the ground, he was unable to move out of shock and seeing this, the charismatic young man walked closer to Jake and took his phone before dialling his number on it.“ This is my phone number, call me when you believe everything that happened” the man smiled and handed Jake's phone back to him.“ I will be waiting for your call and also make sure to return back to school” the man said and walked into the car before driving off. One minute, two minutes, three minutes, Jake was still standing there without moving. He just couldn't wrap his head around all that just happened. “ What just happened?” He asked no one in particular after he regained himself.“ I need to go to the bank to confirm this payment” Jake thought to himself and hurriedly headed towards the bank.“ If all this is real, I will certainly return back to school, buy a big villa, a new phon
