Never Meant For Each Other

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Mia Geneva

"You know your something else Mia. Your intriguing not like other girls who just easily gives in. I like that." Raphael whispers and scoots closer to me. I was going grocery shopping at 6:10 in the evening, I know it's unusual but I prefer it when there are not so many people around. I was putting the things I bought at the trunk of my car when someone's arms made its way to my waist. I thought at first it was Alexis, but then I remembered that he was on his way to the airport to fetch Auntie Aleisha. "What d-do you w-want from me?" I stuttered. Take note I only stutter when I'm nervous or scared. "Do you really want to know? Huh My princess?" Ugh, I hated it when me that, it was so girly and cliché. I just nodded, not trusting my voice. "Use your voice, I want to hear your voice." He commanded sternly. "Y-yes." I swallowed, hard. He chuckled deeply, "I've been watching you for a while now." He paused to come closer to me. He suddenly grabbed me by bum and thigh area and placed me on the trunk of my car. He spread my legs and stood in between, Good thing I was wearing skinny jeans or else. I was taken back by his actions, I mean if you were in my position wouldn't you be scared and shocked? "I want you, so badly. I never got to touch you when we were still together. How come you let Alexis kiss you and touch these?" He said grabbing one of my breast, and suddenly forcing his lips on mine. I wined at the sudden contact, it hurts. "Huh Princess? How come you never let me touch you?" He pulled away and gabbed harder. I suddenly remembered what the boys' taught me. "Kick his balls, That all men's weakness." I quickly raised my foot and kicked where the sun doesn't shine, hard. "Sh*t." I heard him curse and fall on the ground. I made a run for the driver's seat of my car and made my way inside it. "Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t." I cursed, When the car engine roared to life, I hurriedly drove off. I have never been scared my whole life. He sexually harassed me. He sexually harassed me. Tears started to blur my vision, causing me to stop the car the side of the road. "I can't believe this." I cried to myself.

I grabbed everything I bought and locked my car. I made my way to my front porch and quickly wiped my tears away. I opened the front door and made my way inside, and kicking my shoes in the process. All the lights were off except the one upstairs since I saw a bit of light come from above the stairs.

"Janina? Where are you guys at? Nichole? Ren?" I shouted and started placing whee the groceries rightfully belong. No response, well that's weird. "Guys? Seriously this isn't funny anymore!" I made my way to the lounge area to find everything in its place and no one there. "If this is a joke it's no longer funny." I heard a guy's voice whispering. Sh*t did Raphael followed me here? "Guys?" I said turning the lights on. Suddenly someone put their hand on my mouth preventing me from being heard and causing everything I say muffled. I tried squirming my way out but I was no use. Tears started well up my eyes ad blur my vision. "Gotcha!" Ren, Nichole and Janina shouted at the same time, a phone that seemed to be recording was in Ren's hands. "You should have seen your face bro!" Marc said removing his grip on me. Suddenly I felt like crying. I got my knees and broke down. "Hey, Hey I'm sorry." Marc says and everyone's laughter died down. Marc brought his arms around me for a hug, but it was no use. I can't stop crying. And I hated it, I hate the feeling of being vulnerable, specially around people. I don't care if they are my friends nor my family I just hate crying in front of people.

"Hey we're sorry." Nichole said rushing to my side, followed by Ren and Janina. "Ate, sorry. Ate wag ka na umiyak." (I'm sorry, Please don't cry.) Ren said his eyes starting to well up as well. He may be 10 years old and we may fight ever so often, we still cared for each other. "I'm fine, I'm just tired that's all." I said, breaking away from Marc and Nichole. Marc seemed sorry. "Did I grab you too hard? I'm sorry Mia." He came close and hugged me and kissed my forehead, which all the boys do in a friendly manner. "I'm fine guys. I'll just head to my room now."

As I made my way upstairs I bumped into my mom. "Hey Darling. Have you bought everything you needed from the groce- Honey what's wrong." She stops in her racks and hugged me. "Nothing. I'm just tired and I missed you and dad." I sniffled. "Oh Darling I'm sorry. I promise me and your dad will make time for you and your brother." She says kissing the top of my head. I just nodded. "Are you sure your okay? You know you can tell me anything." She asked with concern evident in her eyes and her facial features. "Yes mommy. Okay lang talaga ako. Itutulog ko na lang po." (Yes mommy, I swear I'm okay. I'll just head to bed early.) "Okay then. Sleep well." She says kissing my cheek. I head towards my room and got ready to bed. I was brushing my teeth still with teary eyes when I received a FaceTime call from Alexis. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand and answered. "Hey Babe! What's up?" He said once I answered. Should I tell him? It'll just make him worry, besides I'm not hurt. "Just headed to bed early. You?" I asked. "Still waiting for Auntie, though her plane has landed." He says whilst drinking a bottle of water. I quickly finished getting ready. "Have you eaten dinner yet?" I ask him while heading to my bed. "No, I'll just eat with Auntie Aleisha. Though I ate donuts before I headed here." He smiled. "Oh, make sure you eat okay?" I said while trying to get a nice position to sleep in. "Yeah I promi- Wait, she's here. I'll just message you when I get home." We quickly bid our goodbyes and ended the call.

The scenes at the parking lot of the grocery store keeps replaying in my mind. I just can't believe Raphael would do that. He never abused me before. Just cheated on me. I guess that's as bad as physical abuse. I just can't decide if I should tell my parents, my friends and Alexis about what happened. I didn't realize that tears are pooling around my eye until a tear fell down my cheeks I released a breath I didn't know I was holing and yet again I cried my self to sleep.
