CLAIRE'S POV
Logan must have gone mad! I was so certain that he had gone mad.
It was bad enough that I was getting with him and all of a sudden, he wanted me to get naked in his car. Why would anyone do anything like that?
Before I knew what was happening, he reached out for something in the back seat. Lo and behold. He brought out a pair of hand-cuffs.
"Hand-cuffs again? What is wrong with you?" I whimpered.
He waved the hand-cuffs in my face and said to me "Do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?"
I looked around the parking lot. It had indeed just been us.
"No one is going to see you, let's do this and get it over with" the voice in my head said.
I started to panic as swiftly turned me so my back was facing him.
I gasped "Are you really going to do this?"
Without saying a word, he unzipped my dress and traced his fingers down my back as if trying to find something.
In that moment, I forgot about his cruel nature as his cold fingers sent a shiver down my spine. I could not determine what I had been feeling that moment.
For the oddest reason, his touch felt familiar on my body. As his hand roamed my back, it felt.....good?
I snapped out of my useless thoughts as my conscience echoed "What on earth is wrong with me? This man is a ruthless person trying to take advantage of my unfortunate situation"
He let out a sigh of frustration and once again, he swiftly turned me to face him, more aggressively this time around.
I opened my mouth to speak but before I could form any words, his gaze bore holes into my soul.
"Is anything the matter?" I managed to ask him.
He grazed his hand over the scar on my lower back "How did you get this scar?" He asked softly.
His voiced sounded different from the regular tone he would use to speak with me. His actions confused me. He acted bipolar as he always had mood swings. One second, he is a soft person and the next minute, he is a horrifying predator trying to prey on me.
I cleared my throat to speak up "I can not exactly remember how. But, Eva says I got it from an accident"
He gave a satisfactory nod to my response and with a fast paced deliberate movement, Logan leaned forward and pressed his lips unto mine.
Was this what my life had become? I could not believe that I, Claire Wilson was about to have sex in a car because of my financial circumstances I hated that I was in that vulnerable situation.
As much as I wanted money, Eva would never be happy to find out the kind of lengths I went to in order to provide for us.
He paused from the kiss for a while and as a wry smile lingered on his face he said to me "Aren't you happy? You get to have sex with me. You should count yourself lucky."
I held my lips from kissing him back.
"Kiss me back!" He ordered.
I could not bring myself to do this. I was already warned by my colleagues to not let him get into my pants.
Without giving it much thought I pushed him away from me and stormed out of the car. "I am not doing this disgraceful act! You can keep your money for all I care"
Before I jammed the door to his car shut, I heard him say "I guess we are taking the hard way then"
There I was, pathetically outside his car with my dress unzipped and messed up lipstick. The next second, Logan zoomed off in his car. I felt lost and unconfused because I had no idea on what action for me to take next.
After much struggle, I was finally able to zip up my dress. It was then I figured out that I had left my purse in Logan's car, my purse contained my phone, money, cards, every single thing.
"WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS GOING ON TODAY?" I screamed on top of my lungs in the parking lot. I was frustrated and tired. The entire day had been a lot and it was only my first day on the stupid dumb job that I hated.
Tears started to drop from my eyes as I kept walking with no destination in mind.
I took off my heels and mindlessly walked on my bare feet.
An hour after walking, I sat at one of the bus stops because I really had nowhere to go. There was also no way I could contact Eva. I did not have the guts to go back to Logan's home and even more disappointing, Eva and I got kicked out of our rented apartment already.
I was convinced that the universe was against me.
I checked my wristwatch and it was almost 11pm. Surely, time went by so fast.
Somehow, I ended up sleeping off at the bus stop on this cold night.
I felt light taps on my shoulder "Claire! Wake up! What are you doing out here so late?" It was a familiar but unfamiliar voice.
I opened my eyes to see Liam right in front of me. "You are....Mr Reynolds' brother yes? We met earlier today."
"You can call me Liam. Why are you here? Where is Logan?"
I let out a frustrated sigh "It is one hectic and long story"
He looked at me with pity. Although he shared the same eyes as Logan, Liam's eyes held much concern for me. It felt like he was actually concerned for me as Claire.
"Logan is treating you badly. Isn't he? You must had a rough day. Let me take you home." He said kindly as he made an attempt to help me up.
"Unfortunately, I do not have a home."
To my surprise he did not inquire further he just said "It's alright, let's go to my place instead"
His kind words comforted me. It felt like something I had been craving all along but did not get access to.
The drive to his place was calm and quiet. I appreciated the fact that he had not questioned me. I was extremely tired and drained from the day's job.
Once again, I drifted off to sleep in his car.
I woke up to Liam staring intensely at me. I looked around and the car already came to a stop. "What's going on?" I asked him.
"Nothing. I was waiting for you to wake up. You looked tired so....I was reluctant to wake you up myself"
Once again, his words melted my heart. I wondered how two siblings could have such different personalities.
Unlike Logan, Liam did not possess any arrogant or narcissistic vibes and aura. I was not sure what was going on but I sort of started to see a friendship coming up between Liam and I, even though we had only met for the first time earlier that morning.
Perhaps, was I only getting ahead of myself?
