"You look beautiful when you're wet, boss" Janta whispered. The whispering alone made Nikita have goosebumps and her cheeks became reddish [what do they call this again?Blushing! Yeah that's what she was doing]
"Are you for real, Jeremy?" She asked covering her face with her palms.
"No..I'm just doing this because everyone is still watching us stare at each other like we're actors from some romance movie"
Janta said as he staggered a bit to stand up. Nikita couldn't respond (but she was no longer smiling) to Janta's statement because the crowd came closer and some people handed them towels. Suddenly, the man who was responsible for pouring them water came out of his hiding place, straight to Nikita's feet.
"Please forgive me Madam. I...I didn't know... He" The man's lips began to vibrate. Nikita bent down and raised him with both arms.
"It's okay, sir" Nikita said bringing the man to an embrace but a hand obstructed it
[Guess who it was? I think you know already so let's move on]
"Jeremy what are you doing?" Nikita said after she was done tracing who the hand belonged to. "Protecting you" He said glaring at the man from before.
"Seriously?" Nikita responded standing akimbo.
"I'm sorry about his behaviour" She continued.
"Oh no my daughter he's your boyfriend so he cares a lot about you and just wanna keep you safe" The man responded .
This time around, Nikita was burning inside when the man assumed Jeremy to be her boyfriend.
"Thanks for your understanding" Janta said as he grabbed her by the hand and began to walk away.
"Jeremy do you even know you're taking me? "
Nikita exclaimed furious.
"I remember the way back home so let me"
"Fine. I will but I bet you'll soon ask me for directions"
They walked till they reached an unusually lonely street with dangerous people of all sorts hiding there. Though people still used that street but only a few. A group of teenage girls passed Nikita and Janta then on suddenly stopped.
"Hold on...hold on. You're the girl from that dance video!" The girl squealed in excitement after series of crosschecking and comparing. "OMG! She is!" Another confirmed. In a quick second , they all surrounded her like she was a huge popstar. More people gathered round her almost stumbling on Janta. When he finally squeezed through, he was sweating. Amongst the crowd, Evelyn chuckled seeing janta very uneasy. She's really starting to despise thus guy. Janta seeing the aged struggling for photos and autographs reminded him of his dad. 'Maybe I'll give Mr. Claus her autograph for Christmas' he thought.
As he smiled at what was happening, he didn't know some of those people were not fans but perverts who took advantage of the situation to harass Nikita(in various parts of her body🙁). Nikita was irritated but still didn't know the culprits as they were too many. People began to leave one after the other but the claimed 'biggest fans were still there'
"Come on girl. We're big fans just let us touch you!!"
"Stop it you fools!" She screamed while she struggled to break free but was overpowered. Janta rushed to the scene after minutes of staring at the scene like an idiot.
"Hey!" He shouted dragging one of the men to the floor. "She said stop it!" He added dashing punches to two men at the same time . They flew backwards and fell on the first man. Now, a man was left and he was still poking at Nikita's waist. Nikita gave him a huge slap while Janta made sure the guys bleed.[not too much though]
"Nikki is that you?" Alvin asked as that street led to his apartment but he saw the scene. He couldn't stop but wonder if what he saw a mirage so he went closer.
"Alvin help me, this fool.. Urgh" The man she slapped few minutes ago ,grabbed her by the waist , covering her mouth. " Your body is not that great you know so why make noise"
"You!"Alvin passed Janta like she was invisible. He did a triple kick on the man's face making him to bleed from the nose. A passerby had called the police. When they arrived, Janta handed them over except one who had regained consciousness and escaped. He turned around but Nikita wasn't there. He went around questioning people about Nikita's whereabout but no one knew. A park was nearby so he went and sat on a bench and buried his head in his palms. Evelyn who followed Janta quietly tapped his shoulder [stalker girl alert🚶🕶]
" Hey, are you alright?" She asked.
"Do I look alright?" Janta asked without looking up to see who it was.
"Not at all. You look like a sulking puppy who just missed its owner" She said she sat beside him, crossing her legs .
"Evleyn just leave me alone " he said flatly after recognising her voice.
This made Evelyn frown but then an idea popped in her mind .
"I think I know where she is but since you want me to leave you to alone time" She stood up and then she said "I'll just...woah!" Janta held her by the wrist and dragged her back to the seat. He rose his head to take a good look at her.
"You sure?" He asked looking straight into her eyes still holding her wrist.
"Why would I lie to you?"
She asked smiling seductively while sliding her hands into his.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't over think this, the weather is chilly" She said grabbing his left arm while sniggling her head on his shoulder.
"Are you taking me to her or not?"
"Fine, let's go...Taxi!!"
----------
"Nikki what were doing at that unsafe area ?" Alvin asked as he dropped Nikita gently on a couch. "Seriously, what took you there?!"
Nikita bowed her head while she clenched her fists so tight. She badly wanted to beat the heck out of the man who caressed her waists .
"You could have help me make him bleed even to death"
"Hey" Alvin squatted in front of her "You don't want to be considered a murderer , do you?" He asked smiling as he held her chin up.
"You're right" Nikita responded looking away.
Alvin studied her to see if she had any injuries then Nikita pointed to a little scratch on her arm which made Alvin smirk a bit.
Having treated the 'wound' Alvin advisee her to sleep in his room that when she wakes up, a delicious meal would be ready. Hearing that, She remembered Jeremy.
'Oh my goodness, Jeremy?' She thought rushing out of the house but Alvin stopped her.
"Where to?"
"I forgot something"
"You could go search for it later in the evening"
"But it's important"
"Okay, describe it for me. I'll go look for it"
"No,no. It's better I go myself"
"At least gain some strength. You're weak at the moment" Alvin said giving her sad puppy eyes which she couldn't resist. Alvin tucked her in bed and switched off the lights as he exited the room. Sleep just couldn't dive into Nikita's eyes as she tried various positions but couldn't . she was extremely worried about Jeremy
