Chapter 2 Erase The Video

• I turned the doorknob, but cried out in pain as I felt Aaron's rough and strong hand wrap around my wrist again to pull me away from the exit.
• “Erase the video.
• He spoke without looking at me.
• “Why would I help you?
• I scoffed, what kind of bastard was this man to think that I would lift a finger to intervene for him?
• “Because you can do it...
• I stepped back, shaking my head” You put it there... You take it out...” My eyes fixed on his crotch,” besides, who does this on the first day of classes? God knows what pigsty my dad dragged you out of...
• I felt my hair hit my face hard, my back was against the wall while the man's legs spread mine” You're going to erase that damn video, you know why?” His right hand held my chin, making me twist in pain” Because from now on I'll be your shadow, from now on...” Aaron showed his teeth in an attempt at a sinister smile” Soon you'll know, and yes, miss, it was your dad who brought me here so if you don't want your beloved and stupid father's reputation to be tarnished by his bad actions, delete the recording, wait...” He let go of me” Did you like how I fuck and want to touch yourself thinking of me?
• I pushed him away.
• “You damn psychopath!
• “Is that it, little girl?
• The woman with whom he had been having sexual relations in inappropriate places came out of the room a bundle of nerves and said nothing more.
• “You're crazy! And I want you to know that if I delete the recording, it's for my father, not for you. My family has spent years building this university for a panty-dropper like you to come and damage it with your immoral actions.
• “Immoral actions? Is sex so bad for you?” His hand touched my hair and I flinched” Are you a virgin?
• The man took a pack of cigarettes out of his jacket pocket, took one and lit it without any remorse despite the place he was in. Aaron took a drag and blew the smoke in my face, making me step back as I inhaled that poisonous substance.
• “What do you care about my sex life?!
• He shook his head, his lip curling to the side” Nothing, you're too boring, I'm sure you're the type of girls who call "making love" to fucking, right?
• “You don't know me!” I yelled angrily.
• “No, I don't know you” He inhaled the smoke from the cigarette that clung between his fingers again” But I am one hundred percent sure that right now your panties are pink...” I opened my eyes” Bingo!” The man's voice with a Spanish accent sounded rough and masculine” So, I hope from now on we get along well, are we friends now?” I looked at him with a frown” Now fucking is our secret, right?
• I pushed him to rush out of the classroom, What the hell just happened? Who was this guy who came to Western University as if he owned everything? But, above all, why is my heart beating so hard?
• After the incident with the panty soaker, it was very easy for me to erase all evidence of his "hot" moment with the cheerleader from the university football team. Kitty was mad at me for missing almost an hour of our birthday celebration, and I promised her that at my party we would make up for everything we didn't do this morning.
• My Nana helps me zip up my tight red dress, I look at myself in the mirror inside my huge closet and I can't help but smile when I see that I am just like my mom; my eyes search for the frame with her photo resting on my nightstand and I hug it because today more than ever I need it.
• “Are you proud of me, Mom? Your daughter has excellent grades and has already become a woman, maybe in a couple of years I will marry a good man, just like Dad. You know? For sixteen years he has been mourning you and I know Harold will only have eyes for you for the rest of his days, I also hope to find someone who loves me that way...
• I took a deep breath to avoid crying as it could ruin my makeup, getting to the club where I would celebrate my twenty-first birthday didn't take long. My father's guards along with his secretary informed me that he had already arrived in the city, so I tried to relax as much as possible and make this night, my night.
• Paul and the other guys made me laugh a lot, the music resonated on the walls of the place while my party promised to be the best in the whole university, and it was no wonder, Romina Western always had to stand out among all people.
• “That guy is looking at you a lot.
• Kitty shouted cautiously, pointing to a tall guy with honey-colored eyes and olive skin.
• “I'm not ready to date anyone, I've told you.
• I whispered in her ear because of the music.
• “Is it because of him?
• She asked, and I stopped my body movements.
• “What does he have to do with it?
• “Hugo is no longer here, you have to let go of that love that didn't convince you from the first day.
• I walked away from Kitty with a bitter face, knowing she was right. And what could I do? A year ago, I had ended things with the only man on this planet who made me feel the emotions that no one else could make me feel.
• But like all love stories, ours had ended, but badly, very badly.
• "Let's leave the topic there, I don't want to know about it..." My words were cut off as I saw dad enter through the main door of the club with a huge gift in his hands, my screams didn't wait, so I ran to him, but halfway across the dance floor I stopped when I saw him up close and understood that he hadn't come alone.
• A woman dressed in an elegant amber-colored suit smiled at me, her hand intertwined with dad's. Kitty had to hold me from behind when my legs gave out.
• "Happy birthday, darling..."
• That woman vomited, trying to kiss my cheek, but I pulled away.
• "She is..." Dad pronounced those words with an unsteady voice. "My fiancée."
• The music suddenly stopped and I didn't hesitate to curse Aaron because I knew that because of him, my fantastic day had gone down the drain.
• I didn't know what to say or how to act, so I ran out of the place trying to calm my emotions and organize my thoughts, it's okay, Romina, at any moment Harold had to formalize a new relationship, and this isn't as bad as you think, right?
• A smell of cigarette smoke filled my nostrils and I coughed violently.
• "I'm sure that when you go to the bathroom, you release little flowers..."
• Aaron appeared out of nowhere.
• "What are you doing here?"
• The dark-haired man extinguished his cigarette on the sidewalk where he was comfortably seated until I arrived.
• "I didn't want to come either, but my new stepfather forced me, he told me I had to be a good older brother and those stupid things... I think I have to protect his daughter's panties."
• He looked at me and I didn't understand.
• "Is your new sister my friend?"
• Aaron showed me his teeth.
• "Something like that."
• "Can I call her for you, tell me, what's her name?"
• "I'm not sure."
• I stopped to look at him over my shoulder.
• "Did you come for me?"
• "Yes." I stopped breathing.
• "Why?"
• His shoulders relaxed as if the answer didn't matter to him. "Free drinks, right?"
• Idiot.
• "Screw you!"
• "The only one who's going to get screwed..." His hands pulled me. "You are..."
• Dad came out of the club through the back door with that woman and I quickened my steps to leave. "He's already met his brother!" The ground shook upon hearing the girlfriend's declarations.
• "My what?"
• Harold looked at the woman and Aaron just burst out laughing.
• "I remembered her name, my stepsister is called Romina Western..."
• Okay, I think I missed something.
• "The panty-dropper is my stepbrother!"
• Now how do I tell dad that his stepson had sex in my classroom? Wait, they won't be living in our house, right? Right?!
• "I don't want Aaron in my family! I don't want him!"
