His Greatest Possession

Chapter One

Taylor

Tring...tring

Came a noise of my stupid alarm clock. I grunted and got up from my very soft and comfy bed. I rubbed my eyes and let out a huge yawn and looked at the clock that hung right opposite to my bed.

Hmm...I still have an hour left to leave house.

I got up and went to the washroom to freshen up. Soon, in 20 minutes, I came out dressed for my college. I wore a plain white sleeveless top with a beige colored cardigan and black skinny jeans with boots.

It has been almost a week since college started, and to be very honest, I'm enjoying it!

I headed down for breakfast and as usual, I saw my step-father, Ted, reading the news paper and my mom, Tina, eating her breakfast quietly.

I raced down near them and kissed my moms cheek and she just put a hand on my shoulder and I wished my dad good morning and he didn't reply. Well, it was expected.

Ever since my real dad passed away, my life has become like this. Mom became a lot quieter, and my step-dad...well he never cared!

Luckily they never abused me, if I said it, it would be a lie. My mom never touched me but my dad, well, he was a different case.

If he ever came home drunk, that would be an unlucky night as that's when I'm most targeted. Well gratefully, he was never drunk that often. But, when he was, he hit me so hard that it would leave a mark that would stay for a long time!

I ate my breakfast in peace and left for college.

"Morning babes!" Came a voice of my best friend, Alice. She's been with me since school time and luckily got admission in same college as me.

"Morning to you too." I said smiling.

We entered the campus and that's the time where Alice popped in a gum in her mouth.

"When are you free today?" She asked me.

"I have my English class now, then my Design class and then Marketing and I'm done for the day." I said huffing.

"Oh cool, even I have few classes today, English, Art and Accounts." She said and I nodded.

"Want to hang out tonight?" She asked and I thought for a while.

"Okay, sure!" I said smiling, "Okay, come on we will get late for our classes." I continued. She nodded and we headed to our room.

The day passed like it usually did and soon after saying a bye to Alice I headed home.

It was 4pm and I was lazing on the bed. Just then my phone buzzed and I picked it up only to find Alice's message.

It said,
Alice : Dress up babes, we're going to a club.

Me : Club?! No!

I replied. She replied instantly,

Alice : Yes, you are. Don't make me come over to your house to dress you up.

Me : Ugh! Fine.

I replied giving up instantly as I knew she will do what she said.

Alice : Cool, get ready at 7.

I  sighed and headed to the washroom to take a refreshing shower.

I soon came out and dried my self up and wore shorts and a tank top making my self comfortable.

Time ticked and soon it was seven.

I got up lazily keeping my phone for charging. I started rummaging my cupboard looking for a nice dress.

After a good 5 minutes, I found the perfect dress! I never wore it much but I loved it.

It was a black dress that was sleeveless and had a small cut on both the sides reveling a bit of my waist. It was simple yet beautiful.

I dressed up quickly and started on my make up. Well, that didn't take much of time since I wasn't a great fan of make up. I put on black eyeshadow with red lipstick and covered a the scars on my hand using foundation. I then slipped on my back heels and carried a studded black clutch.

Just then my phone buzzed and I picked it up.

It was a message from Alice saying that she had reached outside my house.

I grabbed my clutch and stuffed my phone, some cash and keys in it.

I raced down and saw my mom working in the kitchen.

"Mom! I'm going out with Alice to a club." I yelled and opened the door.

"Okay, take care and don't get too late and don't drink, you have classes tomorrow." She yelled back and I nodded stepping out.

I saw Alice who was looking gorgeous in a black dress, that had full sleeves. It covered her neck as well and had a long golden zip from her neck till the line on the waist area of a dress. It had a slit at the downside reveling her thigh. She wore ankle length boots and that made her look complete and look gorgeous.

"Girl, you look hot!" She commented.

"Thanks, you look gorgeous too." I replied making her smile.

"Okay, then. Here we go!" She said little loudly and started the car taking us to the club.

We soon reached the club and as soon as we entered it, the smell of alcohol hit my nose making me scrunch my nose up.

"Come on lets get a drink." She yelled over the blaring music.

"I don't drink." I yelled back.

"Come man! I'll get you a mocktail." She yelled back and I nodded.

It was too crowded and we both had to squeeze out way to the bar.

"Ow!" I yelped hitting something hard.

I looked up only to see a tall, muscular man. He had tattoos on his arms all the way till his neck. Gosh! He's hot!

His eyes were on me making me shiver a bit. Something about this guy made me feel weird.

"Mine!" I heard him growl.

Excuse me? Did I hear right?

I shrugged those thoughts away and pushed him finding my way to the bar and Alice.
