I went to college the next day with intentions to quit with no one to pay for any expenses staying in school was useless I reasoned I would get a job and save up enough to finish my education.
After classes that day it was raining and I had to run till the exit if the building because I had no money to pay for a ride ...I was running on the rain although getting drenched I didn't seem to care my world was already shattered a little cold is incomparable. As I was lost in thought I realized I wasn't hit by the rain anymore as I looked I saw a guy holding an umbrella to save me from the cold I couldn't stop looking at him I wondered how long he's been walking with me. "Hey Elizabeth, My name is Desmond I think it's a foolish idea to walk on the rain like this if I didn't come with my umbrella you would have caught a cold " I looked on at the narcissist fellow with his black umbrella...I wasn't at all surprised he knew my name as I was very prominent in school that nearly every school posters had my name and face "Elizabeth Gemma "....After much hesitation I listened to his request to wait a while for the rain .
"Elizabeth....", "you can call me Elle" I interjected and he smiled one u found irritating yet daring .
We had a long chat we didn't realize it had stopped raining. At our departure we exchanged numbers and promised to keep in touch....We texted everyday and slowly he crept into my heart I viewed him as Godsent after the demise of my parents and then we started dating..I told him about my parents and he helped me get a job it wasn't high paying but it helped cater for my basic needs
But then good things don't last long . My landlord came to ask for his rent. My parents usually pay a month before the expiry date but the house was huge so the cost was more than you could afford. " Elle I know you are all alone and so it is hard to pay rent but there's one thing you can do" he looked at me lustfully and added "You can be my mistress " I looked at him in disgust and slapped him hard his ears rang and he blurted "F**k you bastard if you don't pay till the end of the month your out you and you misplaced ego " he stormed out .
I didn't know what to do but I told Des and he asked I move in with him and I thought why not". .Things were going so well between us two he even promised to marry me when he was done with school
