I Won't Fall For You | ✔️

▪︎\\Chapter Ten

I woke up feeling like I was ran over by a heavy duty truck last night. I got up and ran a hand through my messy hair. Romario popped into my mind and I remembered that he was here. What's worse was that Zed was near too. I was mostly afraid of him finding out that I was around. If he does find me he will either kill me or threaten me to work for him again - and I didn't want that.

I left the bed and went to the bathroom to take a nice shower. It was still early which I was thankful for. My only hope today was to find a job and keep on the low. I hated the idea of hiding but I had no choice. I couldn't let them find me and take me, I stopped doing those jobs years ago and I wasn't going to start again.

I wasn't that type of person anymore.

After leaving the shower, I wrapped a towel around my body and left the bathroom. I dressed into something causal but had a hint of professionalism within it. A dark button up blouse and a pair of Jeans. I combed my hair into a messy bun before taking up my jacket and leaving the room.

On my way downstairs I saw Hans heading to the kitchen. Just great, I thought before going his direction as well. I went straight to the cupboard and took out one of those instant oatmeal porridges. I put some water to boil and waited.

"Good morning beautiful".

I turned around and looked at him. He had a smirk on his face as he looked my body up and down. I swear only some people in this world deserved eyes.

"Morning", I replied before turning off the stove. After pouring the hot water in the porridge I let it sit for two minutes. When I started eating I notice a pair of eyes on me. I looked up from my plate to see Hans watching me like a prey.

That's it!.

"Why don't you keep your eyes to yourself and stop watching me like you're about to pounce on me!?", I said out loud so he can know how serious I was.

"It's a free world sweetie. I can look at what I want and touch what I want. And when I look at you - you are what I want. Such nice skin and lips. Lips that could-

I didn't give him time to finish as I poured his glass of water all over him. I didn't even feel hungry anymore so I got up and left the kitchen. He was still in shock from what I did but I could care less. I hope he got my message that I wasn't and will never be interest in dating or even touching him. I pulled on my jacket and left the house.

I hailed a cab and got in as fast as I could. He drove off and I rest my head against the door. There were too many things on my mind that when they came together nothing makes sense. I closed my eyes and decided to focus on my future and the dreams I hoped of achieving.

"Vanessa!"

I turned and saw Camille running up to me. She basically half stifled me with a hug before letting go. She was dressed in a pair of black jeans, a crop top and a tiger print jacket.

"Where are you headed to?", she asked before looking into her bag.

"Planning on finding a job", I replied with a small smile.

"Oh, that's great. Anyways I have to go, gossip calls", she said before walking away. She needs to cut down on the amount of gossiping she has been doing. I mean, I've never met a single person who talks so much about other people's lives.

I shook my head before continuing to walk down the pavement. I passed many stores and different work places but none seemed to be hiring. I also had my eyes on the look out for any signs of people who seemed to work for Zed.
