Just a little heads up:
There will be swearing, suggestive behavior, light gore, triggering topics etc.
I also made him less scary like I gave him eyelids and stuff. Cause I can't romance that original pic like nuh uh (I stared at it so much that it actually started to scare me 😭)
This will prolly be a 2 chapter short story. And sorry if the start is boring just wanted to lay some plot.
Enjoy!

As she leaned back to ease the pain in her back she caught a glimpse of the window, she sighed and palmed her burning eyes. 'Another day of working overtime' she thought. She found it hard to refuse people even though she was aware that they were straight up dumping their work adorned with dry encouraging words.

'I really need to learn how to say no.' she thought, going back to her original position, typing the last words to finish up the document. The silence in the office was disturbed by her ringtone. She picked up without even looking at the screen and said "Hello?" with her raspy voice.

She grimaced as she realized it was her great aunt that had a history of scamming her. "Hello dear, you don't sound well. Is everything alright?" said the woman with a worrisome tone. "Yeah just a bit tired from work." she replied trying to add some energy in her tone.

"It's good to work Esmé" she said while Esméralda lowered the woman's voice. "but dont you need a break now and then?" she continued. "It's summer for god's sake my dear! Take a week off for once."

"To go where exactly? I cannot afford to enjoy summer right now." said Esmé, slowly getting agitated yet her aunts voice remained warm and caring. "Listen I know what I did to you was very wrong and I've been looking for a way to make it up for my mistakes." Esméralda bit her lip as she found it hard to not soften against her.

"I know of a small cozy cottage in a small town that's available for renting this summer. The prices are very budget friendly and you'll get an extra discount since the owner is a friend of your old aunt!" she said, pride apparent in her voice. "I'll send you pictures of the cottage with the address so you can look it up for yourself." the woman added.

Esméralda really did not wish to agree with this fraudulent woman but her words sounded so tempting. "I- uh...I'd appreciate that aunt, I need to hang up now." she said with a small smile that she managed to muster up. "It was great to hear from you my dear! I will send you details about rent prices, take care now."

Once again Esmé was drowned in the silence of the office. She glanced at the empty cans of energy drinks on the desk, which started piling up after original work hours ended, and thought 'I really need a break..." She started packing up her things, 'Even just sleeping sounds amazing right now. I'll think it through with a fresh mind tomorrow.'

"Yes I did send half of the god damn money in advance aunt! What the fuck do you mean your friend lied to you??" she shouted at the phone. The lovely cottage in the pictures turned out to be an old abandoned cabin, right next to a creepy dense forest instead of a friendly town. The town was at least 30 minutes away from here.

"I'm so so sor-.... ea-...I do-...." Esmé looked at her phone screen and let out a groan seeing the connection lines disappearing. She held her phone high in hopes for at least one line but nothing changed so she ended the call. With her hands that were shaking like leaves, she managed to put the phone back in her bag. She felt overwhelmed by anger and sadness, crouched down in front of the cabin and cupped her eyes.
