I was in my cell with Sebastian reading a book he lent me when one of the officers came to our cell.
" Thompson, General wants to see you", he said and started opening the iron bars.
It was already evening. The darkness could already be seen outside. My work was already done. I never went to see the General in the evening so I was a bit worried.
" Why does the general want to see David at this time? He was supposed to be there in the morning", Sebastian said taking me out of my thoughts
" It's none of your business, Sebastian. Now, come with me, Thompson. We would not want to keep the General waiting",he stepped aside as I walked out. Then he followed.
Less than 15 minutes, we were already in the General's office. The officer left, and I was alone in the office. Suddenly, the General came out of the room, he had shown me earlier.
" You are here. I am glad", he smiled
" Yes I am. But, I don't understand why I am here. I thought I was supposed to be here in the morning to work", I responded
" Yes, I know that. But I just wanted to spend some time with you. I hope you don't mind?" he said and flashed me a smile
I smiled lightly. He opened the door to the small room and led me in. " Sit and make yourself comfortable", he pointed to the bed.
" So, what would you like to drink?" General asked
" Well, I really don't want anything", I said softly
" Oh come on, at least you can have just a glass of juice", he said again.
I just sighed, feeling defeated. " Okay, I will have the juice".
He smiled then got me the juice. " Here", he said and handed me the glass
" Thank you", I took the glass from him.
" Would you like to listen to some music?"
Before I could answer, he turned on the music. " I hope you like this song, it's really a nice song".
" Yeah, it is. My sister really loved that song. She always made me listen to it, even when I did not want to", I answered. I chuckled softly
" So, apart from what I know about you in your file, is there anything else you can tell me about yourself", he suddenly asked
" Well there is not much to tell. I have two siblings, which you already know. My parents are one of the most influential people in the country and I was raised like any rich kid, I guess", I replied and began to drink the juice.
" So, why hasn't any of your family come to see to you ever since you came here?" he enquired.
I was quiet for a while. " It's because of what happened between me and my brother. My parents were very disappointed with me and I guess this is their way of teaching me a lesson", I smiled bitterly
" I am sorry to hear that. I am sure they will forgive you eventually", General said.
" I hope so", I began to yawn.
" You look tired. Maybe you will like to lie down for a while", the General proposed.
" Yeah, maybe I should just go back to my cell. Thank you for all of this. I will see you tomorrow", I said and got up
All of a sudden, I just felt dizzy and felt myself falling back. Then a pair of hands caught me.
" Maybe, you should just lie down here. I am going to take very good care of you". Those were the last words I heard before the darkness enveloped me.
I woke up the next morning with a headache. I slowly sat up and tried to take in my surroundings.
This isn't my cell. Where am I? Slowly, all the memories of last night came rushing back.
What happened? That was when I realised I was naked. The clothing I had on, was my boxers. I began to panic. The General was seen nowhere in the room. And my head would not stop aching.
Why am I naked? Where are my clothes? What happened? There were so many questions raging my mind. I had to leave. I had to get away from here. I tried getting up but I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen which had me laying back.
I clenched my teeth and closed my eyes. " I can see you are awake", a voice said
It was the general. I jumped a little when I heard his voice. He was standing by the door, arms crossed and was in different clothing.
" What happened? Why am I naked on your bed?" I asked again trying to sit up
" Well, don't you remember? You and I were having a great time, then one thing led to another and before we knew it, we were already kissing and taking our clothes off. Then everything else followed", he said
" No, no that can't be true. I don't remember any of that. I only remember us talking, that's it. Everything is just blank", I was so confused
" Well that is what happened. You wanted me to touch so bad and I could not refuse you", he came closer and sat by me on the bed. He put his hand on my arm stroking it. I managed to pull away from him
" I have to go", I said and got up. My clothes were on a chair nearby and I quickly put them on.
There were tears on my face. I was not expecting this. I did not want this. We could not have slept together. What have I done?
" You can't tell anyone about what happened here? No one should know about this", he warned
I turned to look at him, feeling quite angry. He took advantage of me at my most vulnerable point. I shook my head and left as quickly as I could, trying hard not to break down and cry.
